The only sensible option is for Wakey & Cas to build and share a ground.

Not rising that easily!

Why don't we go the whole hog and become Calder.

Jesus. I have just finished Mike Rylance's excellent history and. as we all know but sometimes need reminding, we have had more piped deams of new stadia than Piper McPiper at the Battle of Mc Pipe. This ..have I read it right, is Cas's.. well, join us in never never land, cos it seems plain to me, none of this will ever happen. A merger of our clubs was an idiotic idea but a share of a stadium, not so daft in my opinion

Don't know about that but said newt nearly got the new hospital in Beverley stopped..where I work. I found one in our dept th other week and the world has continued. What can I say? No newt in worrying!

Why don't you play at Leigh?

i cringed the other day when someone posted a 3/3 thread on here and i cringe at this thread too. who cares which team builds a ground first? plus a few letters have been sent round, a heck of a journey to go yet. i am of the opinion that we need a new ground. we could get relegated next year and rfl may change criteria for teams who get promoted that they need better stadiums...

No newt is good newt.

Hope that both clubs get new grounds and get better just to be able to peave the RFL off.

With franchising no longer happening, is it worth clubs spending millions on new stadiums?

Yes. The benefits of having fantastic corporate facilities, up to date facilities for spectators and the ability to not be embarrassed when courting prospective new sponsors can't be underestimated. The money generated (potentially) could see the club thrive for another 60 years. Good times have been had at BellView but it's time to make some new memories.

Where?

You get the sentiment

I agree with what you are saying and I am sure every club would love a new stadium but my point is that without franchising there is no longer the rush so there is no need for clubs to push their finances in order to get a new stadium.

I would love to see us at Newmarket and It would be nice not to have to go the Wheldon Road anymore but my point is that there is no rush and a shiny stadium is no longer the necessity it was perceived to be 3 or 4 years ago.

From a franchise POV there is no rush, but from a sustainable business POV, maximising its assetts in order to grow the business and therefore improve the future of the club both on and off the field it is still a massive priority.
We really do need to see some progress on this in the near future.
Regular updates from all parties would be ideal, even if it is just to reinforce where we are if there is nothing new to report. NM is in danger of being forgotten by the public and while i appreciate there is little the wider public can do about pushing it on, if it is gone from public perception is there the need or desire to keep it moving forward by all those involved as we need it to be?
I'm sure these projects, seemingly nailed on get shelved all the time, the longer they go on as sometimes requirements, legislation etc change.
I am not privy to what goes on, but to me at times this seems almost dormant.

If we want to compete monetary wise so being able to invest properly in both juniors and 1st team. Getting a new facility is a reality and the quicker it happens the better. What I'm saying is that just because we can relax about the stadium, we shouldn't. Just like just because we can have a stupid amount of over seas players doesn't mean we have to fill each spot.

We have competition for places now as our resident 'reasonable Cas fan'. Will this improve quality?

Cas Tigers have been unbelievably silent on the matter, unlike the Glasshoughton project with Richard Wright donning Hi-vis and Helmet for the camera's.

This makes me think we are waiting for the finances to be sorted this time without getting anyone over exited then the announcment will happen.

We have the DW to play at.

You have when the football team let you!!!!.weddings permiting

How many games have Wigan moved?
Oh and they are making a profit.

Quit while you can; your suggestion is stupid, naïve and lacking any basis in any of the facts surrounding both clubs attempts to secure a new stadium.

HTH.

Why are we discussing other team stadiums now?
I know Cas forum is quiet but surely you can whip up a conversation on a new stadium?

There has probably been no shouting from the rooftops over this because as it stands now it is still a long shot. If it does happen it will be into the next decade before a ball is kicked there. These things drag on forever as Newmarket has shown. And even then there is no guarantees.
