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
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!

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

| I can see why people do feel 'hoodwinked' and felt very flat mesen whilst coming out of the second meeting (didnt help with excitement building while we were waiting for the first meeting) - overhyped and may have caused glover to loose a bit of credability with some, but I understand why he has done it completely.

Thought so. That's sorted then. Others may have put a different interpretation your statement.

Ok, i see what you mean.
The hype has only come from the fans, second guessing whats going on.
The Announcements, while not earth shattering were none the less of huge importance as far as our club and its future in SL or elsewhere.
The members club, is a SL requirement and is of huge importance to us, both in trying to attain a franchise, our ability to improve junior development and then keep these players at the club and to grow the support base of the club.
The Ground improvements, again necessary for SL, promises about BV being developed for years by others, to be delivered (hopefully) by AG, our main problem has always been the ground and here we have plans for all to see of a way of at least keeping in with the pack at the bottom end of the stadium argument.
How much will the redevelopment cost and where has that money come from, if others had delivered in the past and that kind of money was made available for team strengthening we would be dancing in the street, but it is needed to be spent on the ground.
The significance of BV remaining our home until NM should not be lost on anyone, as it is our main identity.
The most historic meeting in our history? i can't think of many more historic meetings in our history can you?
