It's as if we haven't know this for the past 5 years.

I would like to see the RFL build a stadium in the middle of a recession that has hit the building industry particularly hard. They really are numpties. Poor Wakie are trying hard, but got dumped on by the council.

It would appear we are now making good progress.

I also like how Saints and Celtic don't get a reminder, when unless I am gorcely mistaken are in exactly the same boat as us. It makes a mockery of the whole system, and the RFL make a mockery out of Rugby League.

Saints are at the stage where pretty much everything else is in place, they have opened things up for applications for tender a process which should be complete in the next month and then building work started before the end of the year. From what I can tell no other clubs are that advanced in the process yet?

And as for Celtic the article makes it pretty clear that is due to the fact they have plans to play elsewhere next season.

the market prices for building supply's are coming, lets just hope their is still the companies there to build the damned things

But still, the RFL should send those two a reminder also. Because neither side has anything "concrete" and since the RFL have reminded Cas, Wakey and Salford then they should remind the other two.

Plans are plans, and thats all they are, we have plans to build a stadium don't we? I have plans to bagpipe Harry Gration, doesn't mean it will happen. Although Harry said it isn't totally opposed to the idea. But I would have to buy him a meal first. From a propper restraunt, none of this chain pub food. He said he hates that 5h1te.

Perhaps Celtic have got something concrete in place we don't know.

And from a Saints POV we are in a lucky position where realistically we aren't as reliant on the ground as a lot of other clubs simply because overall we will score more points in most of the other areas than most other clubs in need of a new ground would so perhaps thats why they weren't warned there application was in jeopardy as its not seen as as urgent for them to survive.

There again is there much point in these warnings anyway? What exactly does it tell clubs they didn't already know?
