Rumour has it you've signed him from us for next season, little snippet in the Hull daily mail today.

Cracking player on his day, just not enough of them though as he's always injured.

98 appearances in 4 and 1/2 seasons. The perception is probably worse than the reality, regards his fitness. It has got worse over time, admittedly. Good player.

Think you guys will have one hell of a back line next season, Chase, Luke Gale, Shenton, Webster, Owen, Dixon

Luke Gale.

If Bradford go belly up too, wouldn't be surprised if Keith Lulia is added to our ranks too.

If Brierley looks good at FB (looks like he's playing there on TV this week for Leigh too) and all those signings come off, I like the looks of the backline with only Dixon looking like a weak link:

Brierley
Owen
Webster
Shenton
Dixon
Chase
Gale

its jamie ellis isnt it the half back we have signed?

Apparently interested in getting Gale too as well as Danny Addy (but Addy can fill in at loose forward too).

Is youngquest leaving?

If Webster can stay fit, then he will be a good signing IMO.

Yes.

Been offered a new deal, though.

Doubt he'll sign it.
I think he wants out.

If Lulia has to go he will have offers from lots of clubs.

Before signing us he was wanted by Melbourne and imo he has been our best signing this season.

Cracking hand off.

yea but when we get our ground confirmed in a week and a half you guys will be favs for the drop !!!


=#BF0000Well Done Mate ,You've just earn't yourself a warning for derailing this thread !,Any more and you're gone

SO what? new ground or not, if the rfl wana reduce the numbers, you'll be as likely to drop as us.

Unfortunately for you,having permission to build on land,with many provisos is one thing,having the money to do it is another,and dont give me all that rubbish that you have the finance in place,because you haven't,you're in EXACTLY the same position as us,only we haven't been in administration and reneged on a boat load of debt to smaller companies who could ill afford to lose out.

Forget the Administration, that ones gone it was in the last franchise period. In 2014 will be judged on our achievements in 2012 onwards. I felt, at the time we were very lucky to receive another 3 years. Considering what was going on behind the scenes with the Bulls and the clear double standards I think it’s only fair.

Regarding funding its looks like York Court has a clear business plan that relies on selling and building the warehouses in conjunction with the stadium construction. I believe it will take longer than most think but it will happen. The situation is nothing like the one at Cas, you have an asset that is valued considerably less than what it costs to build a new ground. This is before we’ve even taken the director loans off for the Fulton family and added the £2m loan from the council (which you’re not in a position to apply for at the moment). I’m also lead to believe that you will need to pay something up front for the lease of the land at Glasshoughton which you obviously don’t own. You’re trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, good luck with that one.

Not if Stanley gets passed we won't.

Snore..

I could have sworn this was a thread about Jake Webster. Not deeHell's pee poor trolling attempts without any factual basis [again or stadia.

Not trolling I’m just setting the record straight from what 007 has said. Did you bother to read past my post?

Quote ="deeHell"Not trolling I’m just setting the record straight from what 007 has said. Did you bother to read past my post?'" Yes. And no one has any written evidence to support their points regarding the finances of WTW's ground whatsoever...but then you decided to launch back into points about GH, of which you have no clue about either. Aside from that, your point about Glasshoughton land is incorrect given that the land has already been signed over to us. www.castigers.com/article.php?id=942 So...I suggest once more, on behalf of the Moderators that are largely and probably otherwise engaged, that this thread returns back to the subject matter of...Jake Webster.

Waystone know that benefits will come from having the stadium up there. A bigger attraction.

It's a shame the admin are a bit slow changing new mods etc

Although have you noticed Deehell & Newground appear on a day off school?



As for the actual topic: Jake Webster will be a great signing IF he can stay fit, for a change.

On that reasoning we can say that Waystones will give land a away to anyone for nothing that brings in extra potential customers. Lets run the sums…

So an on an average of 8k crowds x 13 games a year equals 104K extra visitors a year. The vast majority of whom will live a short drive away from xscape and will be regular visitors anyway, except for calling for a couple pints in Winterseam will not spend any more than normal at xscape. You would also have to factor in the business you will drive away, people will be put of with the extra traffic, no one wants to spend Sunday afternoons stuck in traffic. It doesn’t sound like ideal business practice to me, at least from Waystones point of view. A 20 acre plot is an hell of a lot of land to give away for nothing. The sums just don’t add up. Nobody gives you nothing for free, not in the business world. From what I hear you’ll be paying a rent on some long term lease, a bit like our situation at BV. You’ll everything above the ground but pay rent on the ground you stand.
