Question therefore to Swift62. Given the Frachise application is based around other items such as junior delelopment etc what gives halifax the devine right to come into SL.

Yes you have a stadium paid for by sources external to your club but what else would you bring to the competition over and above what cas would offer? What would be the benefit to the English GB game of promoting a team which offers less than the current incumbants apart from a new stadium - sorry empty new stadium.

The purpose of the franchise system was to make SL more competitive. cas being unbeaten after 4 games and playing 5 under 20's in that team developed by the club is surely evidence of this. Would you not agree?

Please Mods.... Hatfield Tiger is letting common sense infiltrate this discussion is there not something in the AUP to stop this?

http://www.castigers.com/article.php?id=1343 We will always remain prepared to discuss any arrangements that would benefit Rugby League in our area and the most realistic and practical plans we have ever seen are those for a stadium at J32 and as such, we will continue to work with the council and our partners to deliver this scheme.

Excellent, hopefully this will get as much media time as the inane ramblings of a window salesman.

Said at the time RW had handled the feasability study perfectly.

Yes, confident that we had the better scheme he played along and let Ted & Rodney throw their toys out the pram.

Re: Wakey and the 'Sharing' option : Fri Mar 18, 2011 3:15 pm  

And it is continuing to bite them on the bum to this day.

The way they threw the study back is probably why so many Cas fans do not entertain sharing GH when it is built.

Re: Wakey and the 'Sharing' option : Fri Mar 18, 2011 4:49 pm  

Well said RW, we offered to take part in the feasability study and Wakey point blank refused, so we carry on with our own plans and they can sort themselves out

The East Stand was completed by the council, but the rest of the ground was funded by grants and by both the football club and the rugby club. At the last round of licences, Fax didnt have a complete stadium, and this was one of the reasons they didnt get a licence. Fax have taken onboard what the RFL wanted from them, the group is now compelete, have a history of delveoping quality talent from around Calderdale and afar, and if in SL would do so again.
So, Fax could offer everything that Cas has, and more.
