I'm sure that's what everyone on here wanted to hear!!

And do you think that Opus can get a £50m development (which is more than a big Tesco's... I know how much they cost, and it less than half that) through planning by Christmas 2011 let alone Christmas 2012?

Wakefield will either be up crap street or building a new stadium... I wish I knew which one it would be, but even I am not that brave foolish!

We await RW's next update with interest.

I'm kind of bored now of coming on this forum to be greeted to "An evening with with Inflatable_Armadillo - agree with what he says or he will continue to preach".

We've read what you have to say, now get back to your lego/stickle bricks as the structural engineering industry needs you! (more than this forum does anyway)

"You are all missing something vital here BTW. I posted this because I thought it might go some way to galvanising Cas supporters to understand the stupid situation the RFL are creating for both clubs and that maybe things were not as clear as the majority of RL supporters think."


Amen to that.

IA, I appreciate your comments on all forums and no this is not a love in. As someone in the trade you can at least give a professional assessment and guide us on process and potential pitfalls. I find this more beneficial than opinions of fans who are not familiar with the planning process.

Let's face it, the vast majority of people on here and in the world of RL fans want both Cas and Wakey in Super League. For either to be denied because they haven't got a fancy stadium is showing what a farce our wonderful game has become.

Don't the messenger. Be vocal and tell the RFL what we really think, I've already done so.

I'm sure RW will relay some "news" before then, but you are right, the next 3 years hinges on what happens at the end of July.

It seems that everyone has forgotten about the plans that Carleton Lanes already have for the roundabout which would ease tension down there. They were planning on knocking down several buildings down there and also building onto the argos car park too.....?

I'm seriously close to giving up on this game.

Even in a year when we have a good team, some great young prospects for the future, an upper-mid-table league position, and sponsors beating the door down, we are still saddled with the unbearable stress of whether or not we will be granted a superleague licence because we can't magic up £12m from nowhere to fund a construction project.

It's nothing to do with sport, and it's not why I hand my money over every weekend.

Well done to the RFL for sucking all the fun out of Rugby League. If Cas don't get a licence I will never watch another game of RL as long as I live, because it's not sport and it's not fun.
