"4) There will be a major announcement in the next 2-3 weeks which will set everybody's mind at rest"

I look forward to RW's major announcement so much that I have put it in my diary. So let's see...giving him the maximum time...that's...oh yes, April 1st.

Yep - I'm lobbying to install either a dance floor or a urinal when she's buried, so we can express our feelings at her passing in the approprate way.

Am sure I have read somewhere that last week in march or first week in april in when they are expecting to get fpp approved.Should have already been done but was put back to allow time to sort parking space issue out.

Must admit that thought had been crossing my mind also. We suspected that Castleford did not have the money from the sale of Wheldon Road and thats pretty much been confirmed by RW. He also seems quite relaxed about the fact that there will be no stadium ready for the start of 2012 and indeed may be not until 2013.

I think we may have a 16 team competition next year and I think Widnes will be admitted. The other one may be Halifax or Leigh but I would not rule out Toulouse.

May be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 but with other things that are happening we may be right - lets hope so for our sake as with Andrew Glover we seem to have a guy who knows what he is doing and I certainly like what I'm hearing. We may have a second chance to get our house in order.

Of course we could be way off the mark.

I like it.

Classy.

I make no apologies for that sentiment - I'm afraid I reserve the same amount of humanity for the woman as she demonstrated during her sustained attempt to destroy the working classes.

Can't you let anything go? That was almost 30 years ago.

A wrong from the past is still a wrong, she is an evil old witch that looked after her own and left the rest to rot.

That is you opinion and you are entitled to it. However, what she did do was allow people to buy their council houses at massively reduced rates this then got people on the property ladder and gave them capital and also allowed to people to then take out loans and other such things due to being a homeowner. Many of the people who bought their council houses have since sold them at a huge profit and this has allowed them an improved quality of life.

I think that claiming she left people to rot is an unfair stereotype of her.

Well said, although I fear you are fighting a losing battle around these parts....

One things for certain, if she was still "in" there wouldn't have been all this faffing about and red tape getting the stadium out of the ground.

Isn't there now a nationwide shortage of social housing because of this policy ?.

The houses that people bought didn't disappear though, they are still there so there would still have been a housing shortage and in fact an even greater social housing shortage had these people not bought theirs because they too would have still been living in social housing.
