| Quote: chissitt "As I am totally ignorant about the New ground for Cas and as such I would not dream of going on your board and discussing it, but it is the Wakey board after all and you seem to be inviting comments. Theres a couple or three things that dont sit right with your post.
1 I might be wrong but wasnt it Wakey council who wanted to pay for a feasibility study but according to you its Cas what have paid for it. 2 it was reported by your club that you had paid £150K for the architects, fair enough cannot argue there except to say where are these plans and have you made your mind up yet whether its going to be a 12 or a 15K because its not two minutes since you did not have the funding, apparently you have now found it from somewhere so presumably you can now tell us how big its going to be. 3 Not sure but I am willing to bet a shilling of my hard earned dosh that Cas did not pay one penny towards the earth being shifted from GH, irrespective of who moves in there the land would have had to be levelled and made ready to build on. So out of that £275K it would seem that Cas at best have only spent £150K thats assuming Mr Wright is telling the truth and not playing ducks and drakes with you. As for your bottom paragraph I just cannot be @rsed to reply to it, personally I hope and I would imagine so would most other Wakey fans that its good news for you tonight when Mr Wright makes his announcement regarding the stadium, and that he is not just using the fact that Sky are in town to try and paint a picture which isnt strictly true, a bit like you really ![]()
In case you're interested the club made this statement last night:-
"The designs for the new stadium, in advance of a detailed planning submission in October, showcase a 13,300 capacity stadium at Glasshoughton on Junction 32 of the M62.
Whilst the majority of the stadium capacity will be seating, in response to views given by the clubs supporters the new stadium will also incorporate a large section for standing. It will also feature increased hospitality and conferencing facilities.
Construction of the new stadium is due to commence in Spring of next year with the base for the pitch to be in place by May 2011. This is in order for the pitch to be ready for the start of the 2012 Super League season."

That is very good news both for the club and the fans, well done, with regards to my previous post it was in reply to the rather tiresome willy measuring contest frequently brought to life on here by old gasbag and one or two others, no offence intended regarding the Cas ground in my previous post.

None taken mate. Don't think many Cas fans will be taking the announcement as gospel and that's why I posted it without comment....simply to add an update to the thread. |

| Anybody else see Tricky Dicky being interviewed on Look North this lunchtime with his drawings of the GH?
He was asked directly "Do you have the money to build it?" to which he replied "We have a very strong business plan"
He was then asked where the money was coming from and looking very uncomfortable  started waffling about money from current ground, council, Waystone, land assets and fund raising by the fans.
What a load of cobblers!!! |

I assume he will be on again on tonight Look North, will watch it before heading over to Cas.
I am going to get there early and try and have a nosey at the plans, just out of professional curiosity mainly.

Also, if you've seen interviews with RW before, he always looks slightly uneasy, that's probably the fact there's a camera stuck right in his face.

I wouldn't be, like I said on the Cas board, barring any unforeseen circumstances (planning/weather) it's all plain sailing from here now

Ok .. if you say so love 
Francis Stephenson was also on the feature, looking very comfortable considering he had a camera in his face, stating that Newmarket had all funding in place. |

Seen the report on look north, stadium plans don't look bad with standing along on 1 side abit like Warringtons, regarding funding thats cas problem but he didn't seem that sure himself (fans fund raising events), the reporter pressed him twice on funding so he might have been a bit nervous. I thought Franny spoke well in the Wakefield report and didn't hesitate on the funding issue.

That's because there is no funding issue with Newmarket.
Largely down to the efforts of Uncle Rodney.
Unless these "fans fund-raising events" have already happened the money is still to be raised, ergo there is still a shortfall.
For fans to bridge the gap he would have to be honest and tell them an amount they needed- this would require honesty on his part and I doubt he has an honest bone in his body!
For their effort fans would at least want to see the records he and Fulton with hold- to know such elementary details such as how much WR was sold for..
IMO that man can't even lay down straight.
Could you imagine a situation where WT were so hostile to SWAG? Unless there was something to hide. A theory which has been banded around the other Cas forum by a current shareholder.

| Talking of seeing plans unveiled, we all got treated to this image when we received our Season Ticket renewal brochures in the post this morning.
Firstly, the pitch looks great, Wakey must be selling the Belle Vue pitch to Leeds when they move to Newmarket!
You can see the umbrella's (which are for the sun beds) in the existing South Stand car park, well just out of shot is a new outdoor swimming pool with a wave machine... a mini surfworld apparently! |
