Don't hold your breath, we are still waitng for Hull City Council to give us our £43 million

How about knock the railway end down, move it back into all the spare land behind it and put a roof on the new stand there - that would make the pitch bigger, then extend the Princess Street stand to meet the new stand in the railway end, increased capacity and no reason to get a new stadium, and for a fraction of the price.

I would love for us to do that but we still wouldnt meet the Modern Stadia Franchise points, we would need a new main stand.....

There's also plenty of room behind the main stand to do that up really, if the club can get a sponsor or something for a couple of million they could essentially make the stadium hold 14-15000 and have a full size pitch with a modern main stand.

And all they would need to do is complete the whole thing in one off season. Nice idea though.

Could start the railway end during the season like Leeds did with the Carnegie stand, and the extension on the princess street side could be done during the season too (like Hull KR did with their side stand). The main stand would have to be done during the off-season and probably the start of the season too, it doable, but the capacity of the stadium would have to drop while the work was done.

As it not been imminent for over a year now.

It's technically possible except for one major point you seem to be overlooking - finance. With no money from the sale of Wheldon Rd you would have to find say 3 million (minimum) to bring it up to a standard that will benefit you as a club. I can't see where you would find that cash - ditto ourselves. The main reason most clubs go for a new developer driven project is because it relieves them of having to raise the finances. Basically it's non starter unless you find a Sugar Daddy to carry the project.

Also old grounds are riddled with problems, access, planning issues, hidden building issues (drainage etc). Where as a developer of a new stadium has a need to keep cost down, a contractor re-building an old ground has every reason to put costs up. It really is the hardest option IMHO even though it often appears the easiest.

Why cant wakey and Cas just share a stadium it would benefit both clubs.

Although IMO the jungle is the best old ground in super league I would like to see you extend the side where the seating is on into a big stand with all the top facilities and then extend the terraces on the two sides not on the road and put roofing all over, it would be the best stadium in the league, and the atmosphere would not be lost.

If they give us nothing. then votes for them from the good people of Cas won't matter will they.

I have no axe to grind with Cas and a new stadium and have often said on here that i wish you luck BUT and it's a big BUT your post is so far from the mark it's almost in Fev mate.

don't talk out of your

hey!! you for real?? all am saying is what they do for you, they do for us or we will act like your lot did last year. all sat crying outside the town-hall cos the council won't bail you out AGAIN.

We'll come back to this soon mate and i won't bother with the chidish bit.

I can't believe I read any of this. Fed up with it. I just hate the fact that the club refuse to say anything EVER then look blank and say nothing again when announcement dates come and go.

I'd prefer some facts from the club, not hearsay and ridiculous targets. At least that way bizarre, agenda-ridden rants from Vastman and his ilk might not be quite as annoying.

Yes it's been ongoing and but nobody was ever going to pull £10/15,000,000 out of their ar$e just like that and say have a free stadium on me.

They were disappointed and felt let down, no shame in that.

Al is the fairest Wakey fan on RLFANS, save your raff for notorious Cas haters and obsessors like Vastman, Mr Brown and deeHell.

Thats a big call



Let him blow off steam if he wants to, i can just about live with it

Hey how do you fancy a new ground at Methley

Hmm

Leeds City Council

The word ironic springs to mind

Greater Manchester Council

The billy bull$hit reins over, what is it now 3 possible stadiums . Until either one gets built i would believe nothing . Think i will stick to us stuffing Wakey on Good Friday .
