Does this mean its almost a done deal?

As an aside the BBC says the new stadium capacity is 10k. Is that really big enough?

Well, Cas are averaging around 7k a season. So a 10k capacity suits them fine at the moment.
I'd assume there'd be plans regarding increasing the capacity should it be needed in the future, plus there's the bonus that the club will be able to encourage fans to go for season tickets to ensure they guarantee themselves a place in the ground.

It's only really when Leeds come that we get over 10k and since Sky seem to have it as a Thursday night game we haven't been getting that over recent seasons.

We've had a couple over 10K this season - Wakey 10728 (Sunday) and Leeds 11235 (Friday on Sky).

10K would be about right for starters. If we needed to expand we would do similar to Warrington with the corners.

Just out of interest, all those bricks the fans bought that did not get used in re building the princess St wall, will they be used to help build the new stadium

No - Steve Gill has lent them to his mate Mick Carter to ease the costs of repairs at Belle vue.

Is lent the operative word here, because if we use them how will you get them back, bearing in mind the cost of each brick we could not possibly afford to replace them.

It was a joke Chiss - we haven't really sent the bricks over the common. We wouldn't really need a brick fund anyway:- http://www.castlefordtigers.com/article.php?id=4399
