nothing wrong with what cas are doing, the winners of the design will be announced mid-december and they will then have three months to produce the final detailed plan and full application so work can start next september with builing time expected to be around 12 months.

i know things can go wrong and timescales are forever altering but imho i belive that cas are getting this right and the right people are making the right noises too.

dont knock it i really hope both clubs can get what they want and it shouldnt be a case of us versus you. your only enemy is time and the next round of franchises not castleford.

From the official Cas website:

"the Clubs’ future in Super League is the single most important issue that the community face. Others will say that health, education and poverty are more important issues"

Nice to see that they aren't getting too worked up about it.

Correct time is our enemy and thats why our miserable club chose their architects months ago and have got the stadium designed.
Getting the supporters to get their crayons out and draw fantasy stadia is not what you do when time is your enemy. Unless you are playing for time of course

do you have some kind of a complex about cas and there ideas about a new ground, your not worried we will get one and you wont are you, if as you say yours is all designed and architects are all in place you have nothing to worry about but starting threads like this would seem to sugest otherwise, would'nt it

I wish we had the chance to input the fans view/thoughts into any new stadium. The impression given by the club is that we will have a basic stadia which will probably follow a pre-determined design. Our projected time scale appears to be slipping - there were always going to be delays.

Both clubs have a lot of work to do. Cas at long last, seem to be moving forward according to the evenng post update. I am however, more concerned about the progress of OUR stadium than any others.

Nothing wrong with what Castleford are doing if thats what they want to do.

I'd much rather it be done like we appear to be doing it with Architects already appointed and plans prepared. The problem with asking the fans what they want is that we all want different things. I want an all seater stadium but I know that some want standing - at the end of the day I'll be grateful whatever we get.

The problem with design competitions is that you can end up with such a compromise that its not want anyone wants. A racehorse designed by a committee ends up looking like a camel but good luck to Castleford.

At the end of the day it will all come down to funding for both stadiums - we either have funding or we don't, its as simple as that - assuming of course that planning can be obtained in our case.

I completely agree, we have enough worries of our own to gloat about others!
I'll gloat over cas' when we beat you twice next season.
As for the ground when we have something concrete we cam jump up and down, until then lets not tempt fate, as for your ground, I couldn't care less, but best of look to you, but as I said I couldn't care less!!

Warning - jumping up and down on concrete can be bad for your joints
