Ah yes, and up he pops. The Oracle aka Dickies 'friend'

Sad but predictable!!

Snidey digs eh? Grow up Fully.

Oh, of course you respond, you have to. You know it all.

Not snide at all. Every time something happens at Cas a thread pops up (Wright, McGoldrick, Chase, RW Stadium updates, etc etc).

No, I was responding to the question in response to some comments made by your own fans that his resignation means that the house of cards is falling down. The press release says it all: his resignation doesn't affect the stadium and he remains on the BoD as he's fully versed with the stadium situation. Had it been him stepping down completely spontaneously then I may be inclined to question it.

Is this that hudds geezer off that manky forum, the one who lays down to law to vistors and bullies them.

Get shut of him he is pathetic, tin pot hitler who thinks he can do what he likes.

I know the GH project inside out theres nowt there but a slag heap, it will become the 8th wonder of the world before you get a stadium on it I bet Karl Pilkington visits GH before you get a build there!!

One of the movers and shakers behind getting RW ousted is a shareholder at Cas and has been opposed to the WR development from day 1 - I believe he owns a retail business that is likely to be killed off by a new supermarket.

It therefore wouldn't surprise me if the focus now switches to selling WR for housing and approaches are made for a tenancy at NM.

Been convinced this would happen for the last couple of years. Just watch the very subtle spin come out from Cas over the next few months. Many of those who were so opposed to moving out of cas will gradually start to indicate that a move to Newmarket may not be such a bad thing.

I also suspect that they will sell the idea on the basis that the move is only an intrim measure pending the GH development. However once they are in they will stay.

We certainly didn't appear to be the mugs we'd looked like before in the sale/transfer market after Ferres joined us.

I agree with you, he was a canny operator and seemed to move us forward a lot. He made a few decisions that didn't sit well with the older supporters - like ditching the Trinity part of the brand label - but all in all, I think this is good news for Cas, or should I say, "The Tigers". He has his contacts at Red Hall, and Cas will certainly act like a better club over the next 2 years, which may have some bearing come the next round of franchises.

I don't know anything about his boredom threshold - it may just be a tolerance threshold when things don't go his way.

Quote: Fully "RW is remaining as as Director because he knows the GH project inside out. So - neither.'" Well he's either convinced that Glasshoughton will become reality and won't part with his shares, or no one will buy them off him. In his own words: "The move has got nothing to do with recent rumours regarding consortiums looking to take over the club. Whilst it is true there was an approach, when the time came to get the cheque-book out nothing materialised." sportinglife.com/rugby-league/ne ... castleford Nowhere left to go apart from the board then, is there?

The club have apparently been assured by Tesco, That while they are cutting back in these type of investments, Our project isnt one of them, So i very much doubt we are thinking of Newmarket, Not yet anyway.

If Tesco sign the deal, Your definitely no further along than us, In fact. Some way behind.


As for RW, He could sell his shares, But refuses to sell them on the cheap, He is confident in the stadium project, And his shares become a lot more valuable then.

Is there a link re the Tescos investment I thought that the party interested was being kept confidential. Its not Tesco really thats the issue then its the whole development on WR and the road changes etc where all the permissions will have to be sought so in effect you are behind us I guess.

The fact is that IF the development of WR and the GH new ground were close or on the clear horizon, there is no way in this world RW would have stood down, with all the hard work he has put in, he would not want anyone else to take the glory, I am sure he has stood down for the good of the club as he has seen that a totally new approach needs to be taken to take CT forward. GH is nowhere near, a deal with a major food retailer is no close to being done, WR will not be sold for housing.
IMO CT will develop WR to bring it up in spec and it might just be enough to save them I don't think they would agree to play (either temporary or long term) at NM they are more likely to do a deal with Doncaster before us and that might be for 6months whilst 2 new stands are built at WR
