I can't fault that

Sounds like the two stadiums will be in different sorts of environments, Wakey's in a more industrial area with warehousing and yours in the middle of more entertainment facilities. As long as there is rugby on a patch of grass, I don't care what it is like outside the ground. Good luck to both clubs. I would rather have two viable grounds than one shared.

I will accept the argument about facilities though when I saw Cas fans on the terraces holding a pair of skies, ready for the slopes after the game.

I think most people would just use the ones the ski slope provide rather than take there own.

Me personally i aint a skiing man, will be usiing the cinema, bars, food outlets, bowling and lazer zone before and after the games though.

Surfworld too when its built.

The Xscape complex is absolutely great and is a real jewel in the Castleford WMDC crown.

IF/When Cas build their stadium there it will be one of the best venues for away fans to visit and really make a day of it.

I'm reminded of the Denby Dale Rd proposal in Wakefield when all sorts of leisure activities were planned to compliment Pugneys Water Park and the Nature Reserve. I wonder if that had gone ahead would Xscape have been built there instead of Glasshoughton? Whatever, anyway I'll certainly be using the ski slopes again, been there a number of times and loved the experience so much that my next holiday is a ski trip for the family.

Well said. We usually ask Halifax fans or vastman for detailed financial insights into our club anyway.

Why bring me into it.

I feel a sense of smug vindication over this matter that only increases daily

Seriously, these are crucial times for both clubs, and due to the sums of money involved and the current economic climate I feel that virtually all who post on this forum myself included are now well out of our depth. I suspect even Ted Richardson and Richard Wright have very little say in what happens next and are basically riding the wave. There are some big hitters involved, certainly in the Wakey development and they are not the kind of people who let things slip down the local.

I personally feel that both stadium development have long since moved from the grasp of the average fan no matter how well informed they feel they are.

Good luck to us all, we will need it
