Im still in the "if we move" camp, however when the last ever game is played i would gladly pay the club for a patch of the pitch, for emotional & personal reasons

How much would you be prepared to pay?

Sounds a bit sad but would quite fancy an abmer seat for the back garden. Would go nicely with a bit of wooden deckin. Feel just like being at the Jungle on game day with the radio on in the garden.

Bet we could get quite a bit for things like this.

Id personally settle for that, a good lick of paint and the old girl will do for me.

I just hope the atmosphere goes with us to this new ground because all the others i have visited arent half as good as the ones they have replaced..... hull, hull kr, warrington, wigan, Huddersfield . all soulless pits without half the atmosphere or character of their predecessors.

10 years time eh, the way superleague is going , Ill be glad to still have a club to follow

Most of the new grounds are terrible soulless places as you say, i went past the new Arsenal ground the other day and it looks shocking like a concrete jungle.
I will be amazed if the ground is built at Glasshoughton, Richard Wrights statement the other day in the express was not very convincing especially the bit where he said we have the funding then next sentence he says we are after extra investment. He has already stated the ground may have to be built in stages because of lack of funds, this thread seems very optimistic in my view, i also saw him interviewed on look North and he will make a good MP the way he skipped around avoiding answering questions. I hope you get your stadium but if i was a fan i would want some straight answers to some straight questions

Re: Last season at Wheldon Road : Mon Aug 23, 2010 7:35 pm  

They have got the funding in place - £11.5m - but are looking at additional funding to try and make it bigger and better. We shall see. I fully expect it to be built.

Re: Last season at Wheldon Road : Mon Aug 23, 2010 7:41 pm  

Fully sorry but how do you know there is 11.5 mil in place? i would love to believe you but just cant.
RW always avoids the question ?

We have to believe.

The sale of The Jungle provides some of the funding, Waystone are putting money in (£1m has been announced with additional funding on top - not sure how much), the council land loan yields another £2m and there are plans for other funding streams including Club Fifty (all 50 yields £250k), commercial partners, not forgetting the lettable space within the stadium itself and finally the fans will be contributing too.

I mean where did the 11.5 mil figure come from?? 2 for WR 1 Waystone 2 Council/Loan .25 %0 Club

Hmm 5.25 thats one hell of a lot of naming rights and fans gifts? yes im sceptical because of the clubs refusal to answer the questions and like i say they just ignore my emails not even a FRO email

and with the anouncer at the Quins game saying we needed to raise funds wtf

You think the Jungle was sold for 2m? can almost guarantee it went for over double that.

And why SHOULD or why WOULD the club tell YOU confidential details? they wouldn't simple as.

Re: Last season at Wheldon Road : Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:38 pm  

I dont expect them to tell me confidential detail at all but why do they always avoid the question?

Are we not suppose to ask questions ?

Why do they not even aknowledge the email and politly say mickey off ?

Where is your proof or is it just " i know someone "

Too many questions and NO answers ??

Again i hope im wrong but there is no proof at all that we have any money Please prove me wrong if the ground has sold for 4 mil and you know this, Where is the evidence??

Truth is there is none !!

I recall it being in the Cas & Pont, but a quick search on google doesn't bring up any results on the ground sale at all.

The club will announce news when there's new to announce, at the minute there is no news, and you should all relax because no news is GOOD news.
