I hope I am wrong but after Widnes have replaced Wakey I simply don't see traditional clubs being allowed into SL. All future entrants will be from "development" areas.

Development areas? They can't even "develop" the game 32 miles south of Widnes.

How about the far away regions of Sheffield?

Or maybe ..................... quite outlandish this one ............maybe ............. Gateshead?


In a galaxy, far far away .............

Cas can almost certainly do whatever they want now that Wakey have been through administration. Problem solved.

As for the heartland question. Let's see whether Salford can actually attract the people of Salford to watch a game? I have a feeling that they will baulk the trend of Warrington and Hull and continue with crowds of 4k - 5k. Then when Sale move in and the the stadium is renamed the Shark Arena we will see Fax take their place in 2015.

Cacky cas are full of crap and have been for years. The stadium is a dump. They cant keep hold of any decent players. They have a good youth setup-but so would fax if allowed! Cas are just a championship club wearing a sl wrapper. What cas have achieved so could fax, leigh and fev. Sadly the rfl will keep them in and accept the usual crap they say.

They do not deserve to be in going on alleged criteria. They are not alone though and shows what a farce it all is.

Re: Catleford delay plans : Thu Mar 24, 2011 1:35 pm  

how embarrassing for the RFL if they allow Cas to stay in if they don't start in their new stadium. especially as they have a club applying to join who have acted on everything the RFL asked of them. Cas and Wakey will drop out. Fax and Widnes will replace them.

How embarrassing would it be if Cas made the playoffs this year and then drop out due to the stadium. An embarrasment any way it happens really, even Widnes replacing Wakefield, as they have not won the league once in the last three years.

It's a mess. A mess that could be solved with one decision. Bring back P&R.

Wright has been making statement since around 2006. Cas will never get a new Stadium

Re: Catleford delay plans : Thu Mar 24, 2011 6:54 pm  

According to Look North tonight delay due to Cas wanting to get a better price for The Probiz Stadium if sold for a Supermarket development instead of building houses. Wouldn't that mean a new planning application or an amendnent to the exsisting one?

Yes and it also depends on what the land is allocated as in the local planning system, you cannot just build a supermarket wherever you like it has to be allocated as 'mixed use' or town centre land in the local Unitary Development Pland or newer Local Development Framework.
A major planning application would be needed and will take months plus it is not a guaranteed to get approved.
Will believe this when I see it plus where do they get the figure of £50 million from? Seems very high when Thrum Hall went for around £7 million wasn't it?
