I always enjoyed our rivalry with Rovers and the Boxing Day/New Year's Day trips to Post Office Road. Would love you to be back in the top flight so we can continue where we left off. Rovers are an excellent example of a well managed club.

Will they still be able to see, or will they have to actually pay?

I know you are only joking DA but the plans don't seem to show any changes at that end of the ground.
I assume the brown blobs are the houses and the terracing will remain at the same level in front of them.

It would be great for Fev to upgrade. I always liked our rivalry too.
Not sure powers that be in Super League will like us Cas and Fev all in same league.

Maybe Fev and Wakefield could share Cas as the feeder club

Re: Stadium Developments : Thu Jul 26, 2012 11:44 am  

I thought the plan was to move the pitch up a bit away from the POR end to enable it to be levelled. Seems pitch is staying as it is, or lengthened at the other end. Is there still plans to remove the slope?

9000 and a bit for now, can be upgraded to the magic 12000 figure with relative ease (crush barriers on the terracing and a few more seats)

The cost of a full move was too high, plus it would render most of the oldest stand (on the clubhouse side) unusable due to poor sightlines

They've gone for lengthening and leaving the POR end as it is for now.

Not sure about the slope, I know they've looked at it, but I think the main issue is that the two existing stands are built with the slope in mind.

The planning application does not agree with you :-

"The overall stadium capacity will be approximately the same as it is currently, 6750."
