TBF they still dont know that the northern clubs split

Dont you mean you hope that someone was having him on

Whatever is said I applaud the club for once in making the announcement.

They have teletext in Hull

Sadly due to where I stand I doubt I will be able to here him tell us we are up the creak without a paddle!

mainly for fishing reports.

Looks like Ted & WMDC got a postcard this week!

It'll be positive news for once!

yes it arrives in a bottle under the bridge

It will be fed through to the dressing rooms JD.

Teletext?? where am I 1989?? jeez!!

I was thinking the same thing - I genuinely didn't know that teletext still existed!

If this announcement is to let us know that we're going ahead without Box and his cronies, I propose that we return the favour and spend all of next week posting on the Cas board with sage advice about what's best for Cas and Cas fans.

I'll fit the alarm.

=#8040FFIf Wakey announce that Cas will probably get the 4m off the council and Wakey won't be able to call their project a community facility, as the community aspects will be with the councils 4m at Glasshoughton.

smile everyone,for tomorrow is xmas day

Doubtful; if WTW and Yorkcourt go it alone and tell Box and co to stick their land loan up their jacksies, the district will get a community stadium at no cost to WMDC. They'll withdraw all the land loans in those circumstances and Cas will be forced to share at NM.

Anyone else hear the sound of tables turning?

Yeah and i'm Santa Claus

He may need to think about that one for a while.

=#8000FFOr, the other way at looking at it, Cas announced they were for the share as quickly as they did as Cas knew Wakey would say no, and they had a deal with the council for the 4m if Wakey were to do what was predicted, debpends how you look at it






=#8000FFNah, that was easy, and obvious.

Why would the council spend 4 million when they can get a Freebie, simple to understand and answer.

=#8000FFOh so your Box conspiracies are stopped now are they?

Cas & the council will have known Wakey would pull a stunt like this, Cas will get the 4m from the council, or the original 2m at the very least.

And lets not forget, there's a lot of objectors to Newmarket so there's still a chance it won't happen, Walker saying the money isn't there now just the other week too.

If you seriously believe that WMDC would fund a stadium a few miles down the road from one that was being built at no cost to them, you're either bonkers or totally deluded; even Box wouldn't be able to get away with that one.

=#8000FFYou do know that the 4m will cost the council nothing too right? this is land to loan against, land the council aren't using, there's a reason why Cas came out in support straight away and not hold back a few days.

Lets just put it in simple terms for you:
Council ask both teams to share
RW knows Wakey will say no
RW tells the council this, they agree on a deal to put a new swimming baths etc up at Glasshoughton, which they were asked if they wanted last year
Council agree
Wakey continue to be utterly predictable and say they don't support the idea
No stadium at Newmarket because the money isn't there (Rodney Walker even said) and there's too many objectors in place.

In short, the land to borrow loans against costs the council nothing either, Cas stay in Cas, Wakey move to Leeds and no longer play in Wakefield at Newmarket.

Mine haven’t, Box is a Cas fan, and as such, will do his upmost to give his club the upper hand.

Remember this £2m / £4M isn’t a gift, it’s just a tool to borrow money.

What’s the situation regarding the Cas ground? Who actually owns it?

What if the Cas B.O.D. decide to share at Newmarket and the Directors sell Wheldon Road and ride off into the sunset, it would be a nice pay day / retirement fund.

=#8000FF1- Exactly, Cas would still get the 2 or 4 if Wakey go it alone because it doesn't cost the council anything, and they get top class facilities for the public in 2 of the 6 places they run.

2- Waystone/Cas joint ownership I believe, Waystone won't let it fail, and Cas certainly won't considering they just spent 175k a couple of weeks ago on architects, who in turn wouldn't design a stadium knowing it wouldn't happen.

All this is pointless arguing about until the announcement tomorrow. Nothing to get excited/sad about. Just makes me feel sick.

Agreed, its pointless and i'm all for leaving it alone for now.
