Really?

Fevs average home attendance: 1,712
Fevs population: 14,175
Percentage of population: 12.08%

Cas's average home attendance: 6,616
Cas's population: 37,525
Percentage of population: 17.63%

*source 2001 Census*

I'm not too great at maths, but if Fev "could be seen as "successful" in that regard" then what does that make Cas?
I'll leave you to work out the percentages for other big town/city clubs percentages such as Salford, Warrington, St Helens, Bradford- but at least look at the populations of the towns before you make silly statements.

Anyway....

EYES ON THE BOX IS WHAT MATTERS.

Forget attendances, they are now seen as secondary.

With a completion stated in time for the 2013 season at a guess I'd say probably about June-July this year for the road and the rest of the piling & land clearing will probably start straight away then when that's done the pitch (or at least the area for it) will be put down too.

It's quite hard to say at the minute, RW says the money is in place now for the stadium to be built in one phase so the above is based on that actually being true and everything being in place to start as soon as they get the green light.

Also based on that website placed on the Wakey board, the actual stadium itself looks to be January for construction.

Surprising as I thought it was going to be a 48 (or less) week build and ready for the start of the 2012 season when the detailed plans were being prepared last year?

Anyway it matters little, it all sounds promising. Good stuff.

Correct. It is a 40-42 week build, I believe.

Why could all this not have been done earlier if as you say everything was in place including the finances, and you were that confident or were you only presuming that as well.



Which is it, fact or fiction?, because you seem to be doing a lot of guessing in one breath and then stating it as a fact in the next.

Because you need full PP to do things such as piling, I presume?
