I can just see it now. "We're one step closer to our new stadium. We've found someone who can actually crap money." says Richard Wright.

Although I wait for some good news.

Or "We've collected enough scrap metal for the new gates"

Isn't it better than being "one step further away from our new stadium"...?

Not really. As long as it's in Glasshoughton, I wouldn't care. But still looks like our paths are in separate directions. I can only hope that all this effort finally does pay dividends.

Richard Branson has stepped in as the club''s major benefactor. Virgin trains will carry all passengers to Glasshoughton station, the stadium will be known as the Virgin Stadium and people will come from miles around simply to stare at the splendour and majesty of the construction. The new influx of cash will allow us to buy top, new players while also retaining the services of our up-and-coming stars of the future nurtured by the club's excellent youth system.

The new club shop will of course become the Virgin-Tigers Megastore and we will have worldwide promotion, as well as club videos being shown on all Virgin Airlines flights.

Finally, there will be a ground-up overhaul of the catering facilities with Branson pickle available with every pie.

And so, with all that as an excuse for the incredibly pathetic excuse for a punchline I bid you all goodnight and remember - read all about it in the Cas & Pont tomorrow. But you heard it here first.
