Did anyone else see the news report this morning on BBC ( Look North ).
It talked about the Cas ground and that today is the announcement of planning persmission etc for their ground at Glasshoughton.
It then showed a shot of their stadium now, then the new one, then theirs again, but hang on a minute, the one they showed at the end was not theirs it was ours ( taken from on the balcony in the hospitality boxes ).
It then changed back again to their ground but how stupid is that? Unless they know something we don't

aww...

I genuinely wish Cas well with their development. They are a heartland club with a true supporter base and a lot to offer the game of rugby league. In the same way I wish the same for Wakefield. I also hope that both can compete against each other in the top flight.

When Wakey v Cas matches can attract 8,000+ and Crusaders/Quins/Catalans v Wakey/Cas struggle to get over c. 4k+ then I know which is the better option for the future of the game. This is in terms of finance, emotion, growth and genuine neutrals interest in the game.

I wish no ill will to Cas unlike some on these boards. Good luck to them.

My thoughts too mate.

Despite us being favourites for the chop I can honestly say i've never felt more positive about our club and can't remember enjoying the rugby this much for a long time!

You are absolutely right in your second paragraph. I hope Wakefield get the ground they want too as that would be fantastic for the fans. I know I'd rater be watching Cas play Wakey than Crusaders and Harlequins.
