Awesome news, icing on the cake of a very good season.

No doubt we will have to listen to all the drivel from the knockers and doubters who will be riddled with jealousy.

Ill knock it....... How does building a water park help us fund the new stadium??????.....where does it say that surfworld are putting in cash to help us build the stadium??

Smoke mirrors come to mind again.................

Presumably it enhances the business model and provides a catalyst for additional funding.

Exactly.

I have to imagine that Glasshoughton is fast becoming a very appealing area for new businesses to consider locating to. With Junction 32 and Xscape already attracting people from around the country, something like Surfworld is only going to increase visitors to the area.

Helping out the stadium is no doubt in the best interest of these companies because away fans will come to the stadium and these attractions are right on the doorstep for them to see and use.

Awesome

Fantastic news! A great addition to the town. Hopefully it will be better than the one in the West Edmonton Mall.

You have to hand it to the council, that is some 'swimming pool'.

Does this mean I'll have to bring my baggies and surfboard to games in future?

I've been doing that for years anyway, but now I'll actually have an excuse for it when people ask me.

The "Railwayendisuponus" will be well chuffed, water sports in cas

Aye he'll hardly be able to contain himself.

Know where you are coming from.

Funding will still be the issue.

Surfworld dont have millions.

By the addition of surfworld,does this mean the project will be 100% private,if so does this cut down avenues for funding?

Both ventures linked with a company that is renowned for getting grants to help projects, so by sticking these 2 projects together, it would probably increase the chances of getting more grant money, not less.

I can just see it now!

Super League 2014

Castleford Tigers VS Saints Helens on Sky Sports

Camera pans round to the stand packed with Cas fans wearing there Black and Amber jersys and tight speedo's and inflateable armbands

Amber and black Tigers speedos of course

Good luck for this I hope it all comes off for you.


But just how big is this patch of land you have dug the footings out of for the ground.

Oh huge, at least as big as widders belly

Maybe that'l be a new range, Tigers Swimwear. Shorts, Speedos, Armbands and a big inflateable dean widders

I can just see the ad now, Russell Crowe in the swimming pool lying on his inflatable Dean Widders with a cork hat and pint of Fosters saying "I love my Dean Widders"

Or get one of the cheerleaders to straddle it and say "ive always wanted to take a ride with Dean Widders"

saints v cas wont be a SL fixture in 2014 unless you get your stadia sorted.

stadia??? your not really from st helens are you???

anyway good luck my stripey friends genuinley hope we play you in your new shiny ground and you play us in ours!

oh and can we slide down a slide directly in to our seats?????

So where will the Wigan v Cas game be when DW decides his beloved soccer team wont get a prem place coz they loan there ground out to Wigan RL and kick you out.

Be nice, it cant be easy being a rugby fan in a football town.
