We have numerous plan Bs!! Some of them should be renamed, such as Plan C, Plan D etc etc, but we like to keep it simple!!

Regarding the construction of Glasshoughton you are in the brown stuff! What ever spin you or your leader put on things, you have no money to construct and it's not clear that you ever will! That isn't opinion, it's a fact

| We're both in the brown stuff in respect of our new stadia; I therefore find it rather sad that some people want to put their foot on the others head to climb out of it and save themselves, whilst consigning the other side to a decidely unpleasant end.

Welcome to the RFLs wonderful, friendly, compassionate world of Franchising.
Not exactly the Family Friendly game we are supposed to be so proud of when others failure is just as imperative as one's own success, is it?

Barnsley has to be the perfect opportunity now that we know Cas are in the brown stuff. Barnsley would give us a superior application to Cas. After so many promises we would be delivering on facilities.'"
Sorry but I have missed something here?
Please tell me why Cas are in the brown stuff?.
Look, no matter how many times we have a go at each other, by stating we have this, you don't and my dad's bigger that yours etc, the simple fact of the matter is that the decision is completely out of our hands and any theories are simply that end of. People claim to have the 'inside track', but they don't. So let's get back to talking about what happens on the field and if people have forgotten we have a game on Good Friday which will be another great encounter and a packed house, between two very very proud clubs................

For once we agree, this is not the game I fell in love with 25 years ago.
I dream of the days where winning games actually meant something.

All clubs are in the brown stuff, just look at the economy.
It's not personal but at what point could any sane person believe that the WR site is worth 50 million or that any Supermarket would want it at a 10th of that price. It's madness. God knows who owns BV but it's valued at a few million quid and it's a far better site than WR.
Cas is a small place and no offence but is hardly a prime area. It could possibly support another Supermarket but not at that price or even close.
I work for Morrisons and I can tell you know for them to bother with that site they would expect it at a knock down rate and some serious sweeteners to take it on. Supermarkets are absolutely without mercy, they are utterly predatory and simply will not pay the going rate for anything. There is no pressing reason why any of them would push the boat out for a store in Castleford - sorry.
Mr Wright is throwing the dice one more time to stall, you will be disappointed.

Possibly! As people have alluded to this is what the RFL has created.
Fans wanting (or maybe not wanting but relying?) on other clubs to fail just for their club to succeed.
Which is wrong, very wrong!

Cas havent claimed that we will be selling the ground for £50m, cas havent said anything about what they will be getting for the ground other than that it will cover the costs of getting the stadium built in one go, hence the reason why ben bailey homes have been paid off.
With regards to the size of castleford, as someone said on the cas board a town of 40k people has one big supermarket while selby (18k population) has 3, and with the size of the population of cas growing over the next decade with lots of new housing going up an already obvious demand is only going to increase.
St helens and warrington are hardly the richest of areas but entering into an agreement with a supermarket got stadiums built/building for them, so there is no reason why it shouldnt do the same for castleford.
I'm not going to make an predictions on how this will all pan out like yourself, as (like yourself) i have no idea whats going on behind closed doors, but the opinions of yourself and a few others on this thread havent made me think its any less likely that it will succeed, they have only served to remind me of how bitter and desperate a small minority of wakefield fans are for castleford to fail.
