Some announcement was expected in January regarding the new Cas ground, but unsurprisingly that's come and gone without any explanation.

Last news I heard:

Progress has been made regarding funding, Walmart (Asda) and Xscape Leisure are two companies that have been linked with providing finance.

The C6 site (Old Hicksons chemical plant) owners are dragging their feet regarding planning.

I'm not particularly optimistic that we'll be going anywhere soon, but we'll see.

saints is looking very likely to happen. with the recent 17,000 crowd a new stadium is desperately needed their. they will get a minimum of 15,000 average in a new ground.

salford and bradford are also looking likely as well (say 60% - 70%).

if just those 3 get new / upgraded grounds it will be very good for RL.

regarding cas / wakey, surely if they cant do it alone a shared stadium is the answer (not a merger)

pool your money and build a 15,000 - 20,000 stadium somewhere in between

or indeed wakey putting their money from the sale of BV into doing up Post Office Road is another really good idea.

Leeds are in the consultancy stage over a new South Stand.

The club had wanted to look at the North Stand although this requires the co-operation of Yorkshire Cricket Club - which isn't forthcoming at the moment.

So in answer to your original question

Not a lot at the moment

Plenty of ' Origami ' but nothing ' concrete '

Best investment in early 2011 will be in ' hi visi ' vests and JCB/Portacabin rental companies

Something on the news the other day about the development of the cricket ground. The Chairman(i think) of Yorkshire cricket said they'd be looking into the north stand in 2012 or around that time.
