Get over yourself, Lots of Championship clubs do the same thing ! You are a very bitter fan, lucky for WTW not all the fans are like you !!

Actually we do not, but i am sure we are about to find out

Unfortunatly i am not privy to each and every penny on how it's broken down.

I have been informed (reliably) the funding is there.
PP going in either end of this week or next week. Definatly before xmas.

Is that an Oxford English definately or a Richard Wright one?

This thread is giving me a headache. It's obvious that Cas fans are going to be saying funding IS in place, and that they're in a better position, etc etc. And it's obvious that Wakefield fans are going to be refuting this. It's like going round in circles. No-one knows anything yet, and if they do, let's not be cryptic or half-assed about it. Just wait until it's announced.

Does anyone think that the AGM on January 4th will be the club admitting defeat in the franchise bid, taking whatever monies on offer from SL for so doing and try to re-build for the next application ?

Either that, or more likely, they will reveal plan B and come out fighting.

was told 8 months ago that lord ted didnt care if we were in nl1 if we eventually got the ground.

It's doing most people's heads in.

Have Cas got the money to build? Well, they have enough money to build something, even if they can't complete the stadium in time, it makes no difference. They have enough to start building, and by starting building, they're already at least a year ahead of us. That's more than enough.

Forget the rules/criteria/any other bollox the RFL have published about how franchises will be awarded. There's no way of judging this on an accurate points scale. It comes down to who they think will deliver. And as things stand, all signs point to Cas. So congratulations.

That's a fair comment, isn't it? No new ground and we cease to exist, at least as a RL club based in Wakefield.

It is probably better that they take some time to reflect and consider what to do. I'm sure they have planned what to do in the event that it did get called in, but those involved with the club must be gutted. It is too easy to make knee-jerk statements. Get the public message out in the new year, when it will stay in peoples' heads, rather than letting it become mopped up by the end of year feeling. New year. New start.

Can't think what a certain Sir Rodney will be thinking right now.
