Classic

Cas are no better than Wakey. Full of talk over the years but done nothing. Cas fans will be defensive but the truth is Cas alongside others have done little to sort the stadium out. SL clubs would rather overpay an aussie than save and spend money on the stadium. Clubs have had around 15 years to sort things out. Cas Wakey and others have shown little interest in improving stadiums

building a stadium aint like buying an house it takes years of planning ask anyclub thats done it.



st helens,salford,cas,wakefield you are right have been hoping to build for years and all 4 have made steady but slow progress but are now beginning to bare fruit and hopefully will have new homes by the next couple of years despite the country been in worst financial mess its ever been in.



a question id like to ask is where do you think wigan,hudds,hull would be without their football clubs they share with ? not all clubs have had the luxury of having grounds given on a plate through council funding for multi purpose and have had to go it alone.

Did you say this to the cas fans who came down to support your club when you had the finacial crisis a few years ago and told everyone that if you didnt get a certain attendance for a game you could go under?

Who's his team pyeman.

Some right bitterness spouted there from him.

Absolute ballcocks but then I'd never expect anything factual from someone who is so intent on spouting rubbish to try and create an argument.

As usual fans with heads in the sand. It does take time to develop or build a new stadium. But clubs have been told for 15 years to sort this out. Some have had council or other help. But others like Cas Wakey Salford etc have done little about their stadiums despite having 15 years of being told to improve things. Now its panic stations to get something sorted. RL fans deserve modern stadiums. If championship clubs have found various ways to improve stadiums or builones then so should SL clubs. Clubs that are well run and have managed to put in the hard work to improve their stadium deserve a place in sl over those that have not improved their stadium or how they are run. Why should Fax Fev and Widnes be forced to struggle in a part time league and be held back? In what way are Cas Wakey Salford better than Widnes Fax Barrow and Fev?

So let's look - Widnes - built by Halton Council, no? Halifax - completed and paid for by Calderdale Council, no? Leigh - built with Council help, no?



Cas have been looking to develop a stadium since the early 2000's but as a club with limited finances and no sugar daddy at the helm, how do you propose we fund it? Additionally, the land at Glasshoughton has only been redeveloped over the course of the past seven or eight years. We have been planning this stadium since 2006 and unable to sell our current ground due to the Chemical licence at Hicksons. That in itself has caused a considerable delay over the last three years.



I'll tell you in what way Cas are better than Fax, Barrow and Fev? Most aspects. That's not to say that they couldn't be as strong in the future or if the tables had been turned, however, as we look at it now, I would place Cas as stronger than Wakefield and Salford too - but that's just my opinion.

They have been held back for one very simple reason, they were not good enough to either qualify for SL or were not good enough to sustain membership, but now because the RFL and Sky want new stadiums being shown on the telly screen all of a sudden those clubs you mention come into the arguement because of council help, and fwiw nobody is saying Cas,Salford and Wakey are better than those clubs currently out of SL and all three of them have a feasable argument for not delivering on time for one reason or another, and while you are banging the drum just remind what you have contributed to the development of the shay beside Calderdale council with the money you recieved from SL, if we follow your logic about grounds then the only club what deserve any recognition are Featherstone Rovers.

Contributed towards the construction of the Southstand, and seating of the skirtcoat road stand. The East Stand is the only one funded by the council.

Your very poor knowledge of what's happening with new stadia only deserves this response:

Questions;



1. Have Cas got a 10,000 seater stadium ready for 2012 season - NO

2. Have Wakey got a 10,000 seater stadium ready for 2012 season - NO



Therefore Wakey and Cas will not succeed in a franchise renewal, these are the only FACTS on the table at the moment unfortunately!
