I think it may have some thing to do with sorting out a club thats gone bust,sorting staff,sorting players wagers,getting a bid together for a super league bid, looking for new players, sorting a transfers, doing the club up, talking to new sponsors,having lots of meetings, resigning players, getting new people for, stewarding,selling food,bar staff, advertising the club/matches, getting people to buy season tickets, memberships... I could be wrong
But according to what I hear we need 5000 members or no SL. Therefore if this the easiest way of reaching that target then wouldn't it be above putting new TV screens in Cats bar?

Luck you
The reason i asked was because, even the most loyal Ted follower, could not have been more impressed by the passion and commitment shown by AG and JE in particular, i know you're far too clever to trust such a pitch , but it really was impressive.
Of course what matters now is them following up and delivering those words, we've all heard far too many empty ones over the years, but added to the period of fire fighting followed by the period of "cosmetic" and real improvements, we now seem in a position where we are visibly trying to push the club forward.
It all hinges on a SL licence, but our chances have gone from 0% to 50% in a few months, so that can't be bad, but we all need to buy (no pun intended) into it.

Stick it everywhere i say. just to clarify, we dont need 5000 new members, just 5000 in total, i think we need around a 1000 more before the end of the month, but its a lot better deal than the lottery, so i think its doable.
it should also be promoted in the WE, because im sure a lot of the wakefield populus would be interested, as the deal for the draw alone is a good one, let alone the add ons, it may also encourage new support.

| Also bear in mind there are people who have recently cancelled the old trinity lottery as it turned out it had nothing to do with the club. Surely these people will sign up as they were paying into a scheme anyway.

I'm not a Ted follower, I believe in fair play and two sides to an argument. I've no issues with AG other than it's to early to judge.
He can be as impressive as he wants, great. However I've been involved in all this since 2001 and I know what an absolute basket case this club is. It will take some sorting and as of now non of the main issues have been addressed. However his willingness to invest in at least gaining us another 3 years of SL is a big step forward. Whether it will work is open to debate.
Overestimating/selling AG doesn't help him (not saying you do). Last night was evidence of that, he marketed it as the most important meeting ever, well it may have been but it nowhere near hit the utterly unrealistic ambitions of some on here - with the term "hoodwinked" being used!
We must remain clam and objective about all things and that includes AG and Elston IMO.
PS: When I said read the script I should have said guessed it, I didn't mean to infer I had insider knowledge - apologies.

What in your view are the main issues that need addressing?

Not really!
Mr W. Has a track record of false dawns, broken promises, propaganda and PR spin that stretches back years while Mr G. Has delivered on everything he's promised during his short tenure.
No comparison between the two at all unless you're a Castleford fan and want to tear down Mr G. because he scares you.

Driving through Cas this morning looked in my rear view mirror and saw smoke in the wake, I thought it was Hicksons then realised it has closed down, the smoke was deffo on Weldon Road '"
Thought you were going to tell me that Wheldon Rd was on fire and was burning down, Cas could then claim on the insurance, it wouldn't be the first time a Cas Chairman benefited from such an event.
No doubt Richard Wright has insured Wheldon Rd for £200million!

Do some research into previous Castleford Chairmen!

Don't remember that, do you mean that the former cas chairman may have burnt something else to the ground rather than the ground?
