Someone (more knowledgeable than I) should write progress on the VT, especially the RW part. I think the rest of the Rugby Community should see what we have to put up with.

What an utter scumbag RW is. Vile little man.

what gets me also about the letter is the emphasis on community stadium

at what time did it become a community stadium only when our plans was revealed

if our project does come good and theirs doesn't and they have to share with us we should do so providing RW does one.

Should keep his nose out and more to the point Yorkcourt wont put any money into GH as its all dependant on planning at Newmarket so that one sits on its backside for starters.
I can see some very upset Cas fans as what kind of message does this send out to them.

afraid it won't be our choice as we will be just tenants

Regretably I have to say that I'm unable to describe the situation much differently.

disgraceful behavior. I hope the RFL force him to leave and throw a hefty fine his way. an absolutely horrible human being. I dont particularly like castelford, im sure no wakefield fan does, but this does nothing for feelings towards them.

I hope the situation becomes that we get the stadium and then he comes begging to ground share so they arent kicked out..... and i hope we use acts such as this, as evidence to reject their request.

This is not the Cas fans doing, they are probably as horrified as us

I've already written to the RFL asking them to investigate. Wonder if they'll take any notice?

After all we are one big happy family.

And yet again one of the offspring try to skank the family.



the swear filter has

edited, what was the correct use of the word, in both senses.

If RW hac thrown his weight and influence behind Wakeys stadium then it would stand to reason Wakey would have reciprocated and both clubs would have been in a stronger position and may have even had their stadiums in further stage. Petty small minded anti rugby tactics will make him no friends in the rugby community, we all compete against each other but we all need each other or the whole thing crumbles.

Is it available to view online?

Tried looking in the NM planning portal, although new docs were added today none were his.

If it's not available to view would someone please type it up???

Despicable man! Almost tempted to form a similar movement petitioning that any new supermarket should be located in Wakefield not Castleford. Use the LCC line of "we're bigger we need it", with a hint of RW's tactocs of scuppering the clubs which gives you the best gate of the year.


He once to my (in date) student ID off me as he thought the pic was dissimilar to me, made me pay the additional tenner or wait outside. Scum bag!

Are we not offering too much attention to this letter?

Its very appearance is obviously going to cause a stir from a Wakefield/Cas rugby rivalry perspective, but from a political stand point, does it really change anything? It's not like the planning inspector isn't going to be aware of the Glasshoughton development.

Maybe, but as it was intended for use by the objectors in their submission, but now initially raised by Yorkscourts Barrister - Andrew Piatt - in order to allow Sir Rodney to nullify it, then it's intention was clearly to de-rail our proposal in favour of GH.

So in summary, IMO, no is the answer. It's dirty tricks by a fellow member of the RFL and is unprecedented in being a direct attack on the very establishment of competing club. Not on - and, again IMO, an apology should be forthcoming!

Hopefully we have arguments/evidence to counter his claims, but that's not really the point.
He has overstepped the boundaries on this one and should be brought to task.

and did Rodders nullify it?...

***knocks it out of the park...***

I agree 100%. This is a political arena whereby his input warrants no need or place. The very fact his name and misguideed optinions are being discussed at all at what is essentially the city of Wakefield's public enquiry is enough to get my goat up. This isn't Wakefield vs Cas. It has bog all to do with his club or his opinion.

Yorkshire radio have asked cas tigers about the letter, they say they are gonna issue a statement in a bit, wonder what it's gonna say

Absolutely agree with all that has been said, particularly regarding the concentration of his efforts on our project and not yours....(i actually think this may have rubbed off onto some of our fans too

)

I have always said that Richard wright is first and foremost a cas fan and has the best interests of the club at heart(having seen him in action personally)

However i can not condone his actions here, stay out of our buisness and we will stay out of yours should be the party line.

Even if it was at the request of the objectors and if indeed all it contained was the truthful versions of events regarding the feasibililty study or proposal there of........he must have realised how this would look to the wider RL community and WTW as well.


Quite frankly as a cas fan...its embarassing

Or, you accept a member of the public has written a letter objecting to a development that is unfeasible?

Why should there be 2 community stadiums 2 junctions apart when one of them is seen as more feasible by the council and is in a better location commercially?



The RFL probably can't do anything about it, as a member of the public Richard Wright has the same rights to object to any planning application as anyone else.



Why? As a member of the public is is entitled to object just as much as the members of WAR or whatever they want to be called now...

If it was a statement issued on behalf of Castleford Tigers RL on the other hand, then he will have problems.

EDIT:

Ok, just read a different view on the letter, apparently it isn't an objection at all and it just highlights that Wakefield rejected a feasibility study (true) and are welcome to play at Glasshoughton (again, true) so what's the problem?

No we don't accept it you plank.

You really don't get it do you.

Most pathetic attempt ever to excuse someone, were you a German in a previous life.

what part did your stadium was going to be community

was you not going to have some fancy hotel
