Agree with all that. I think he is a great asset for the game of RL and will do a good job for Cas. Yes Wakey fans its great for Cas to survive as its definitely one of the fixtures to look forward to

Briefly:

1 I want Cas at GH NOT at NM - I fear the M word would inevitably follow and bear in mind that 2 clubs in one stadium would have to share certain revenue lines as well as costs.
2 Steve Ferres is good on RL and players - not so on dealing with admin and isn't the easiest guy to get on with. Overall good for Cas.
3 My information was that Tesco had 'cooled' on Cas - they have an application for Ings Road and plans for Ponte at the moment - and even if they do look at Cas there are several sites available - some potentially better than WR. I still think WR will end up as housing, but good luck to them.

Interesting times!

Interesting that in his appointment announcement there is absolutely no reference to the new stadium in any shape of form from him or Jack, looks like he's distancing himself from that right from day 1

From what I have heard if it is robbo who is involved, he favours WR being developed.
As for wright, perhaps it is the realisation that the value of WR now and in the foreseeable future is nowhere near enough to fund cas' part of any GH development and that outside help will be needed.
Climb down now, or be at the helm when ther good ship glasshoughton finally sinks without a trace, he certainly couldn't be the skipper when a share at NM comes on to the radar.

I may be wrong cos that does happen

but i don't think it stadiums are his line of work, he will sort out the club structures, players and the like.

Who us this robbo chap?

Agreed, hence the obvious omission of anything stadium related, his brief is to improve the club not the facilities as the focus is being drawn away from a move to GH, they can sell the lease on GH and also sell Rangi and have some money to develop WR Quid pro quo

I think the reason GH and Stadiums are not mentioned is that its nothing to do with the new appointment, now some will read this different ways, its depends and what angle one takes when looking




For me i think its straight up, after all DW didn't write it

???DW

Dickie Wright at a guess



Who will probably still be in charge of anything stadium related.

Yes, old dickie wright.

Roads are irrelevant as far as us a club are concerned but I suspect that these will be dealt with in the planning application. We have to remember that there's more than just the WR site being developed down there over the next decade or so. These changes will be done by Opus as the developer, I believe, and has already been mentioned in the Castleford Growth Delivery Plan made public two weeks ago.

All we need is PP on the WR site.
