.....For redevelopment of the ground http://featherstonerovers.net/article.php?id=9182 Hopefully our bid might be talking more seriously this time round Congratulations all round to everyone involved in getting this off the ground - dreams may be become reality What does the rest of the RL world think to this latest develoment? With a thriving youth system and attendences on the rise are we now in a stronger/better position that our dear rivals/neighbours just down the road?

Congrats but I still can't see you making Super League.

You may well be looking better than Cas are currently but I don't see the RFL taking a club away from that area just to add another one in up the road.

Hope you get everything sorted but sadly i dont think it will make any difference to your aspirations for getting into S/L as it looks like you Fax,Leigh,Sheffield and anyone else outside S/L have no chance unless backed by a Sugar Daddy or are in already as it seems to now be a closed shop .

Congratulations and well done, hopefully the investement you have shown will pay off for you , will it make you more likely to get a seat at the top table? , probably not , will it embarass several clubs in the league above you? , well it certainly should

It'll be water off a ducks back Mr Bug! If you're in you're in, make sure you have a good snigger at those clubs busting a nut to never get in!

Maybe Cas could claim it as their own as part of a "partnership"

Isn't that the whole point of franchising?
