don't get excited, i saw some engineers doing a survey down there last week. might have nothing to do with the stadium whatsoever, but they were down near the old pit site.

I'm sure the Wakefield Community Trust will have some good news to speak about when the time is right

I was led to believe by my council colleague that there are ground surveys taking place at the moment, very much to do with the new stadium.

In the sense that naff all has been announced to the public. Other than that, no I don't have a clue. TBF I don't care as long as the bleeder gets built, just like Cas's.

Ok Ok the stadium talk has gone quiet but once it is getting built surely to goodness it shouldn't take more than 15month to build. Very poor timing for the RFL to announce this threat to the press, we are going so well as well we don't need a disruption like this and players getting worried. Basically we have the best academy in the country us and Castleford put together look at the catchment area for the players in are areas it is huge. Seriously Widnes and maybe tolouse and even fax are only the teams worth putting in and maybe SL should be extended to 16 teams making play off positions even harder to reach. Yes i am for a new ground but it should not be the bee all and end all the RFL are making out. Cas and Wakey are far stronger than the likes of Salford but Salford are the only team based in Manchester that is the only reason they are there its a joke. Fax and Widnes should be in for a 16 team comp and see how Tolouse progress. This is my opinion.

I Agree but i had gut feeling for the last couple of weeks the RLF are up to know good it makes no sense for them to go public and only yesterday the clown from Widnes was saying how there next bid wont fail.

i think it is fair to say you can have the greatest plans in the world but unless there is bricks laid and concrete spilt then the RFL will turn down any application for a club who have been mentioned in that link with the exception of saints.

i accept the warning as i feel it is the right thing by the RFL - we (cas) must push the process on and as soon as they are out to tender (fingers crossed within 2 months, plans will come to fruition for a completion date of end of 2010.

my fea ris if come june 2010 a brick has not been laid etc the RFL will tunr down ours or anybody elses application.

i am confident we will be ok unless there are any unforseen hick ups now i just hope the same can be said for the others - oh and dont get me started about Hull KR! JOKE!!!

This letter was expected and to be commended in some way. It gives the clubs a little kick up the back side that's needed. I'm sure all the concerned clubs will take note and try and crack on.

But as already mentioned, how the hell are Hull KR excluded from all this?

No it gives Cas,Wake Salford a kick up the backside but acording to ITV text Celtic and Saint are fine to plod along Celtic thing is just becoming one big joke.
