Ok rumours rife on wakey forum that an anouncement is due for theres, so this leads me to think wtf is goin on with ours or not as it seems no news at all me thinks bad things are amist.
any news anyone

Doesn't mean it as to be good news though mate

The world economy has gone to S*it, banks are bust the world is well hungry, and you worry about Wakey .





In answer to your question nobody knows for sure .

don't worry about it, cos wakey council will have to give us the same as them not that we need it but every little helps!! and remember the people of castleford vote for the leader of the council

We have people saying that news in immenent on our stadium and nothing ever comes of it. Richard Wright said in the first matches Programme an a nnouncenent would be made and still nothing has.

Unless Wakey have a sugar daddy prepared to throw millions in then i'd wouldn't be worried

Don't you, so where is your stadium - is it mythical like Nania?

I wouldn't worry about Wakefield if I were you, but I would worry about Cas and the stadium that Mr Wright promises but never happens.

Correct - I have no idea of what the new Wakey scheme will be, I just hope it isn't built on rhetoric like Castleford appears to be.

I can't think of a single stadium project that isn't in mortal danger at present - Cas and Wakefield included.

Am not worried it maybe mythical but at least the book as been written! you aint even got that.

Anyone can write a book, few manage a best seller. I suggest you wait and see.

Never actually said i was worried about theres its our im worried about if they get theres fair play im will be glad for them as there is no inferiority complex here !.
But as for our all i want is some honesty from RW but dont think he nos how to .

Bit of a contradiction there old boy. Of course you dont need it your new ground is nearly built isnt it. It is isnt it

like i said every every little helps

Hope it works out for both of us

My understanding is that an announcement that will leave people in no doubt at all about the stadiums reality is very imminent.

It's been a long long battle, but the future is very bright.

I went to the Jungle/Whealdon Road twice last year to watch Warrington and thought the ground was quite ugly but the view and atmosphere was brilliant, shame about the team performances.

I think you should keep the stadium, what do you lot think

I can't think of a quicker way to lose a franchise.

What if Wakefield Council hav'nt given Trinity any money at all!

If Wakefield Trinity fund and build their own stadium without any finances from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council then Castleford and Featherstone for that matter will be expected to do the same.
The danger to Castleford is that a precedent has then been set!

Wakefield Council will have cemented their position on the issue of financing for any of the three clubs with whatever agreement they may have reached with Wakefield Trinity.

If they have contributed financially to Trinity's new stadium then, in my opinion, they should be obligated to invest the same in both Castleford's and Featherstone's.

If they have not contributed financially to Trinity's new stadium they are equally obligated not to contribute to Castleford or Featherstone.

So whatever this significant announcement is regarding Wakefield Trinity's stadium then it could either be very good news for the Tigers or more worryingly it could be devastating!

The council were never going to finance the stadium they were providing money for a sports complex in the stadium for the public to use as there is nothing in the cas ponte normy area , Wakefield is already served by thornes park

What a load of nonsense. Where is there any public use in Cas stadium and more to the point where is there a stadium in Thornes park.

As I have been saying for yonks and Clan has just eluded to is that whatever Wakey get determines what Cas will get. It's politically impossible for both not to be totally connected whilst ever the Council is involved. As far as I'm aware the Cas development cannot go ahead without some Council support, if it could it would be built by now.

Especially as the plans and site have been available for years and planning permission was granted some time a go. There can only be one reason for the delay and that is a funding gap. The only people able to bridge that gap are WMDC. As soon as many of the posters on here swallow there pride and admit this the quicker we can all move on.

You will all see in the near future, im not worried and i hope Wakefield get a stadium too.

And the hold up is partly because Wakefeild Council aredeciding whether to house a swimming pool and indoor facilities at the new Cas ground. They will not be funding anything to do with the stadium just the council owned property within ie; pool and sports hall.

I have also heard rumours the waystone have run out of money to continue the project due to economic crisis.

Last update we had was that work had stopped for winter due to weather but would re start in spring and that they were finally getting a design team into design the stadium.

All we ask RW Is tell the truth and keep us informed.

If you and other similar teams lost your franchise because you did not get a new stadium then I would be very dissapointed with the powers that be.

First of all the marking system for the franchise was all rubbish as, for example, Leigh Centurians could have got 5 points and a B license which would have ensured a super league place on the facilities alone, this means that you could get a super league team by just having a stadium and abide to other rules regardless of the fact that you have crap players.

Not what I hear, it's on public record that a new pool for WMDC will be built ironically on the site of the old one - sun lane. This is not me wooden spooning but I think you're having a straw clutch with that one. I can see some logic except for the fact that it's actually Wakefield itself that hasn't got a pool and is meant to.

Why are wakefield council not allowed to build 2 pools in the same district?

There will be a new pool at Sun Lane and also at the New Cas ground(if WMDC want it, hence the hold up). Not clutching at straws just what ive been told.

Well i cant see WDC putting any money's in to any project as they have had to stop work on the new shopping centre in wakie due to the current climate,So why would they start a "new project "when that one has already started and run out of dosh!!!!!
