Yes they done it again! If you look on the Cas board you can see what such fun they are all having. They are getting a short list of architects together, they are inviting fans to submit their stadium designs and talk to the architects. They are even selling bricks to the fans so it can be built.
Infact they are extremely busy doing nothing at all

Then you look what our lot have done. They appointed architects months ago.Got the plans drawn up and costed and are now ready to apply for detailed planning consent. Such spoil sports.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Well if the club sold the bricks they would run out of medium sized ones, maybe they sould sell them in M & S next to the suits.?

Come on... do we really want to go down the clown Richard Wright line with this

they'd only smash the light bulbs

I know quite a few of their fans' what have asked if they could supply there own

Cas say "bricks". Wattle and daub more like.

I just hope they all don't turn up at Newmarket pushing their old prams filled with bricks and old doors hoping they can buy into our stadium

Why, what's being built in Suffolk?

Envy is a bad bed buddy

I doubt they would have any left they would still be under the axles wouldn't they

nothing wrong with what cas are doing, the winners of the design will be announced mid-december and they will then have three months to produce the final detailed plan and full application so work can start next september with builing time expected to be around 12 months.

i know things can go wrong and timescales are forever altering but imho i belive that cas are getting this right and the right people are making the right noises too.

dont knock it i really hope both clubs can get what they want and it shouldnt be a case of us versus you. your only enemy is time and the next round of franchises not castleford.

From the official Cas website:

"the Clubs’ future in Super League is the single most important issue that the community face. Others will say that health, education and poverty are more important issues"

Nice to see that they aren't getting too worked up about it.

just sounds like good PR to me mate, your club ought to try it now and again

Correct time is our enemy and thats why our miserable club chose their architects months ago and have got the stadium designed.
Getting the supporters to get their crayons out and draw fantasy stadia is not what you do when time is your enemy. Unless you are playing for time of course

do you have some kind of a complex about cas and there ideas about a new ground, your not worried we will get one and you wont are you, if as you say yours is all designed and architects are all in place you have nothing to worry about but starting threads like this would seem to sugest otherwise, would'nt it

I wish we had the chance to input the fans view/thoughts into any new stadium. The impression given by the club is that we will have a basic stadia which will probably follow a pre-determined design. Our projected time scale appears to be slipping - there were always going to be delays.

Both clubs have a lot of work to do. Cas at long last, seem to be moving forward according to the evenng post update. I am however, more concerned about the progress of OUR stadium than any others.

Nothing wrong with what Castleford are doing if thats what they want to do.

I'd much rather it be done like we appear to be doing it with Architects already appointed and plans prepared. The problem with asking the fans what they want is that we all want different things. I want an all seater stadium but I know that some want standing - at the end of the day I'll be grateful whatever we get.

The problem with design competitions is that you can end up with such a compromise that its not want anyone wants. A racehorse designed by a committee ends up looking like a camel but good luck to Castleford.

At the end of the day it will all come down to funding for both stadiums - we either have funding or we don't, its as simple as that - assuming of course that planning can be obtained in our case.

I completely agree, we have enough worries of our own to gloat about others!
I'll gloat over cas' when we beat you twice next season.
As for the ground when we have something concrete we cam jump up and down, until then lets not tempt fate, as for your ground, I couldn't care less, but best of look to you, but as I said I couldn't care less!!

Warning - jumping up and down on concrete can be bad for your joints

...

Well the Cas clubs invitation to fans to help with the design has already had a big effect round Cas.

I went shopping round the J32 Outlet today for some stocking fillers for Christmas - couldn't find any shops with crayons in stock anywhere!!

the worlds gone health and safety mad!!!

Thanks for that!

wise words indeed!!!!
