I very much doubt rugby fans are going to break sweat to buy a paper on the rumour Wakefield might have an announcement pending about stadium developments, I'll wait until we walk threw the gates before believing it will happen then it will bee a lovely surprise

I'm the same. Even if there is good news, there is a lot of talking and hot air in our future before I can sit in my new shiny seat and watch Brough kick the game off in a new stadium. More likely to be Broughy's grandson kicking off.

On a serious note, I like all of you, would like a full new stadium, but if a return of Belle Vue is to be the chosen outcome then as I have said before, please don't accept piece meal - a bit at a time over three or four close seasons as that would be disasterous, monies for what ever reason, evaporating/ no longer available etc.
We would need a full four side refurb undertaken in one close season + one full season vacated & one further close season to ensure one full contract build & completion at agreed costs - no slippage a term used in building contracts. We must be wise this time ! ??
This is not impossible, saints had a full new stadium built in this time duration !
I do hope a new stadium gets the go ahead & not a low budget couple of sides - stands -- etc
A full contract is required - water tight to prevent the council & partners pulling out !
Up the Trin.

It would be good and I may be wrong but can’t see a full redevelopment if we stay at Belle Vue. I reckon if we buy back BV it will be staged development to make it SL standard. Beggars can’t be choosers unfortunately, I may be wrong.

Up the Trin

I think your missing the point here, if there is some delicate negotiations going on then the club or the trust would be honour bound not to discuss any details, where as Mr Martyn has no such responsibility and whether true or false he does what he does best and that's provide snippets of information to help sell his papers, hope that's cleared any confusion regarding my post, if it all happens I hope you get a fantastic surprise if you ever walk into the new ground having dismissed all the rumours that will no doubt be circulating as these rumours grow irrespective as to where they've come from

not missing the point at all, how many years have we been hearing these rumours and yet nothing has happened, his rag prints either rumours or belated news in the off season you can pick up most of these from the chip shop

Regarding stadia, I've always wondered why BV is considered to be so poor we are docked funding from Sky, where WR is just as bad if not worse, I think they've only just got one more roof and nicked more car seats.

Imagine after all the squawking of kicking Wakefield out, BV gets redeveloped and Cas' new ground never materialises, will people be calling for Cas to get kicked out?

It’s a quite ludicrous punishment and always has been. It’s like taking food off a starving man.

I don’t know the figure but surely a more sensible option would have been to withhold the balance every season until such time as there was enough cash set by to help fund a worthwhile infra structure project at BV.

As I say I have no idea on the figure involved or how long it’s been going on but I suspect it’s not an insubstancial amount.

It’s seems very unfair to penalise us especially as the on field product has always been exciting if not always skilful. After all we gave them their first million pound game!

My idea seems fair as it both punishes and helps - I’d like to see how the right on brigade argue against that

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that Cas & wakey are both “fined” for having sub-standard grounds.

Correct. It`s just everyone always highlights Wakefield for some reason, never got it either as WR is just as bad if not worse IMO. Does anyone have any idea on the difference in covered seating between our East Stand and there east stand? Wikipedia has some figures on there but don`t quite trust them!
