Can't see anything about teds abuse?!?!

He ripped into the tigers plans in this mornings press.

We don't have to bite back. As we have this. And another big announcement Wednesday.

Makes nice reading.

Are we to assume from this then that he will be giving you the rest of the financial backing needed to build your new ground if indeed you do need it, bearing in mind that depending on who you listen to and believe one minute you have the funds and the next you havent, just curious.

Were probably 90% there. The rest can be filled in. With this guys backing. Money is not an issue. Baring in mind he is sponsoring the new ground. And everything in it

Wenesday? FPP? Weren't you promised that last week?
I hope you do get what you want, but things change very quick, look at the week we had last week.
Until either of us get through a turnstile, I aren't getting too exited!

We waited. As we have ambitious plans to gain maximum media attention.

Best of Luck.

Tiger abuses Ted, now there's a topic I'd rather read about.

And that's supposed to be "abuse", is it?

Well aren't you a delicate flower...

Any links?

Best thing you can do in the bid process is just keep shut and talk soley about the strengths of your bid. Widnes have been getting carp left, right & centre recently and all unsubstantiated rubbish and by not responding but just knocking out the next new sponsor etc you just look 10X stronger and more confident.

You'd be massively underwhelmed if there were. Read what's been posted on the Cas board or on Casforum. Basically the same as what's been posted since God knows when on here about Cas' plans for their stadium.

If what's reported on there is true, his remarks smack of pettiness, and don't really do us any favours, as far as I can see. But to call it abuse is ridiculous.

Is the way I see it too. Unfortunately, good news stories are as rare as rocking horse poo if you're a Wakey fan at the moment.

His remarks sound very bitter towards Cas. To say he is the Chairman of the club he is also very ill informed regarding both our stadiums plans etc.
He must have got all that info from reading this forum

Go Ted.

Teds shown himself up there but to be honest i've grown tired of the whole situation. The bitching and back-biting that franchising has lead to has taken the soul out of RL and everthing that it used to stand for no longer matters. Its not the game I started watching over 25 years ago and its not one I particularly enjoy anymore. The season ticket is already bought for this year as an act of support for the club but it will be my last, franchise or not.

Ted:
"We have everything ready, including the land and the funding. All we need is planning permission, and it will happen. Out detailed plans are ready for approval. In contrast there have been three years of inactivity with big talk and no action from Castleford despite assurances from Richard Wright and missed deadlines. Everyone knows we have had setbacks, but we are much closer than Castleford are to building a finished stadium"

I don't see the need to accuse Cas of failing to meet deadlines, "big talk", no action, etc... All these accusations could just as easily be turned back on us. How can he say we are nearer to building a finished stadium than Cas is beyond me. Does Ted know something or has the pressure finally become too much for him? Either way, these are deeply unprofessional comments, especially at a time when he's waiting to see if the RFL consider him a suitable person to run Wakefield Trinity due to his financial situation. Personally, I think he should concentrate on sorting out our own mess and coming up with a credible plan B

Again hardly abuse, but none the less unnecessary.

I wouldn't call his comments abusive, what i would say is that they are petty and i believe unnessecerry but they whats done is done and at least he appears to be showing some fight.

Oh well, never mind.

I'm sure you'll be more careful next time!

Maybe his comments are in answer to the tripe the Yorkshire Post have been printing.

No abuse at all.
