| Quote ="TDT"Why do these idiots come on our forum?
They have gone bust twice, have left a lot of business either bankrupt or on the brink, have sold their stadium and had it given back by Wakey Council then sold it again to some dodgy offshore company owned by their own leader.
The fact is that WTW have spent beyond their means for the last twenty years and should have been kicked out of Super League or even rugby league as a whole. I would go as far as to say that their behaviour has brought the game in to disrepute.
If I was a WTW fan I would feel ashamed of what they have done to local business's.'"
Any links to these businesses???
Or are you making things up again????

He did, and he surely knew the potential consequences to Wakefield of song so.
It's a shame he has tainted the Cas club and fans with his opinions. Thought we were all starting to concentrate on our own stadium for a while.
It'll add some spice to the next game anyway.'"
Tainted the Cas fans? How?

| Just back off fellas.
Wrights rights to free speech are not in question here. His reponsibility to act in the best interests of the game are however. His apology suggests that he recognises that engaging with the objectors to this proposal were not his finest hour allbeit he was within his rights to act as he did.
As for businesses being owed money it beggars belief that The Richardson era didn't leave people out of pocket (evidence or otherwise) - I can't understand the need to defend either Wright in this situation, or pretend that WTWRLFC have been a paragon of financial good management.
Just remember we are all RL fans - the need to squable doesn't exist.

Why exactly??
Or is that the best you could come up with??
I would much prefer a list of "the lots of businesses that went bankrupt/to the brink because of Wakefield".

Nobody is denying that.
Its the suggestion that "lots of businesses were bankrupt/on the brink" due to Wakefield,which is utter b0ll0x and the figment of a posters imagination.

Because whilst his delivery may have been inept and clumsy, his intent was clear.
Today's statement only adds to the impression of a sad, desperate and rather pathetic little man; one could almost feel sorry for him, given that his position is likely to get even more uncomfortable when Red Hall decides how to respond to a SL Chairman using gutter tactics to damage another SL club's chances of delivering a shiny stadium.
I suspect that amongst the RL community, RW will soon become persona non-gratis; there'll be blood on t'carpet, you mark my words.

Ah well, anything for a good moan eh?

Shouldn't that be Yorkcourt delivering a shiny stadium for Wakefield so they can build warehouses on greenbelt land?
Sorry,couldn't resist...anyway we might end up there as wellicon_eek.gif

| It's like handbags at 10 paces....come on grow up the lot of yeh!
Draw a difference between passionate and pathetic!
Until either of our teams start to actually see bricks being stacked into the shape of a stadium, lets just wish both teams all the best and move on!

| i am not sure that RW has not just scored a major own goal. Regardless of whether what he has said is right or wrong, the fact he has stuck his nose into someone elses business may come back to bite him in the ass.
particularly from someone who is currently trying to raise support for his own plans.
personally i could not care less about whether or not wheldon road gets a supermarket, or at least i didnt until yesterday.
today i would happily object to him putting up a shed in his back garden.

Or so you keep believing.
But whilst you let bitterness, anti-Cas attitude etc etc rather than let common sense prevail then I suppose this will always be your reaction.
I can understand your concern; your points are flawed.

| I love all this holier than thou stuff coming from the Wildcats trolls.... what was it Glover said about Cas earlier this year? Or have we conveniently forgotten about that?
RW merely clarified, when asked, his comments from earlier in the year.
At least he didn't go round slagging off Wakefield for no good reason.
And with that, farewell to you all.
This was a place I came to so that I could chat about rugby amongst friends. If I wanted to listen to people assassinating each others' characters, I'd sit in front of the telly and watch the soaps, or go to the pub and listen to women slagging of their so called "friends" behind their backs.
Sorry, but it's got to the stage where I can't stand it any more.
Good night nurse.

Easiest thing is to ride it out mate. It's the off-season so naturally the crap always sticks around because there's nothing else to discuss or moan about.

Sleep it off. Wake up refreshed and don't let them get to you - or they win - you know it makes sense!!

| As I think has already been said, we would be mightily p'd off if AG similarly intervened in our stadium plans...well I would at least. However in the final analysis I doubt RWs actions will have major impact - although there is a first time for everything.

And bye and large they are the thoughts of anyone with any grasp on their sanity.
Its not what he's said, its just the fact that he's commented at all, massive OG for RW in my opinion, and completely avoidable.

He strikes me as a man that's struggling to hold on, the pressure is getting too much and I my opinion whilst his intent is right his ability to deliver simply isn't.
Saying that what do we do as I don't see a queue of people waiting to take over the club, I Cas fans are honest with themselves I think most would agree.

I doubt that any of his comments will have any real influence as this would have all been mentioned anyway.
The reason this conversation keeps going round in circles is because most Cas fans won’t take of the blinkers and accept this point. Why did he have to get involved, especially knowing full well who it was that approached him and what he was been associated with? The wording of the letter made it more clear what the underlying motivations was. To quote “we have made significant progress with our site at Junction 32” I mean come on, that could have been written in 2006 it could still be written in the 2014 franchise application! There has to be some kind of fair play in sport and this just isn’t it, actively and knowingly joining a campaign to stop top class sporting facilities been brought to the game of Rugby League. You now have a Chief Exec whose interests are directly in conflict with what’s best for the game of Rugby League. Not very good.
Dickie has also opened a right can of worms here and he is making a lot off enemies. He has to remember that if the Opus Planning application ever goes in, a PI could well take place. If NM gets passed could you imagine the amount of stirring Sir Rodney could do in that one? Pick your enemies wisely Trickey…..
