Yes, but he has to realise that there is no time for empty statements now. The fans demand, and we need to see real action.

If Glasshoughton doesn't happen, we'll have to go ahead with Plan B which is turning The Jungle around.

knocking the main stand down and turning the field around has been spoke about for years and im sure was the original plan before a new stadium got brought up,where we would play while the work was done is anyones guess.

but thats a last resort, i still believe glass houghton will be delivered if not now then when the economic climate changes and picks up.

Am I missing something here? Wakefield announce "plans" for a stadium and all of a sudden everyone is talking about us sharing a ground with them? No feasibility study, no outline planning permission, no proof of funding, not even a design of what the stadium will look like!
Lets just wait until Cas make an announcement about our stadium. I know no more than anybody else on here, but unlike Vastman I am not going to guess about what Cas have or haven't done. He spends so much time talking about Cas, I'm sure he's a secret Tigers fan!!!

Richard Wright: "We've got a new stadium project up at Glasshoughton, it's been about 3 or 4 years in the making and we've got a planning permission and hopefully in 2011 we'll be there playing Super League football."

Dave Woods: "you say hopefully, how certain are you that this move is going to take place?"

Richard Wright: "er a great deal of works been done, obviously the financial climate at the moment is slowing everything down and people aren't coming on with projects that were planned but wer'e pretty confident that everything is going to plan. We've got the funding package put together and we're pretty sure we're going to be in in 2011."

Dave Woods: "Near neighbours Wakefield are looking for their new stadium, Is there any chance of sharing between the two clubs?."

Richard Wright: "Its always been a difficult sell for the fans, the prospect of one or the other playing in the others back yard and I think that's a difficulty er.. You never know what's going to happen.. Er . but to be honest Wev'e you know. . We're we fair fairly fortunate that we've got this leisure destination on our doorstep at Glasshoughton. A stadiums a great fit for the whole place and er y'know this has been going for some time so we're very fortunate to have that in our vicinity, so we we'll have to see what happens. We're just pluoghing our own furrow at the moment."

I put the stutters, the ers and the y'knows in the quote because it seemed to illustrate a general nervousness from RW. The first part of his statement also seems to contradict the second.

It reads far worse than it sounds to be honest.

Surely turning the pitch around and rebuilding the stands would be as expensive as the Glasshoughton option, if not more so. Why not just replace the main stand with a mega structure accomodating all the requirements of license criteria eg minimum seating capacity etc OK the ground still wouldn't look attractive but it would be fit for purpose and we would get to keep the type of atmosphere which most new stadia are totally devoid of.
