I can remember Ted channeling his inner Winston Churchill and announcing at half time that we would never ground share at Cas.

I would ground share. It would make sense and Belle vue isn’t far like a 15 minute drive. Cloud cuckoo land but with one new state of art stand going up. Think what pooling another 12 mill from Cas development would get?

A new south stand with

2500 seats and conference/offices.

Redevelopment and roof on the west stand.

Would be an excellent facility. It’s just how it would work in terms of ownership and logistics that would be the issue.

I’m pretty sure two entities can operate from one stadium though separately.

.Never happen in a million years, it's not like we're building a new Wembley, we're building a new stand in BV.

The majority of Cas fans were up for us renting at Glasshoughton, I think this shows they're an open minded bunch and would be more than happy if the roles were reversed.

I also don't think we'd merge, I think worst case scenario they'd become our feeder team with us being the city, a bit like in the NRL where they'd play in the lower leagues but keep their identity.

This reads like something from the letters page in Viz. I assume this is tongue in cheek.

I hope their stadium comes off. I like Cas, in that it is a rugby league town and the definition of a heartland team. They add something to the top flight (provided it isn't at our expense!).

I did say cloud cuckoo land. But another 12 million into BV would have it looking fantastic on 3 sides I would say.

I actually bought 2 seated season tickets for the new stand yesterday and picked my seats. I can’t wait to get in the new stand come April/May/June hopefully.

Been a northstander for best part of 20 years it will be a welcome change

Hoping the club (or JM) release some more info or photo's of the new stand in the coming weeks now that the site is fully operational after the xmas break.

Would be nice to see the concrete going into the east stand, seems like not much has progresses in a while there

It does make sense does this, but I can't realistically seeing it happen.

Having said that, don't the two footballing sides of Milan ground share, one of the biggest rivalries and statdiums in world football, but works for them.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility.

You'll be comparing them to Wakefield & the five towns with Brighton & Hove next.

There was a delay on the concrete for the East stand so they put more of the structure up whilst they waited. To me it looks like the focus is on the North Stand to make sure that's ready for the new season.

I know most are taking the michael about this, but if you are a Cas fan who can just wonder from just about anywhere in Cas down to the ground, to have to then come play from BV, there'd be fecking riots and rightly so!
