Castleford may have to scale back their plans for a new ground because of the recession. The Tigers have outline planning permission for a 14,000-capacity stadium just off the M62 but have yet to secure funding and chief executive Richard Wright warned they may have to build the new ground in stages www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... tlead.html

Bloody hell.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Still underlines our commitment to the ground and the RFL can hardly kick us out when there are other clubs still upgrading their stadium, i.e. Bradford and Hull KR. If we can get two stands built and then finish the rest off later, suits me down to the ground. I would prefer it to be all at once but if needs must, needs must.

Hmmmmmmmmmm how long have Halifax been building their ground, lets hope it doesnt develope like that......

We offer a lot more than Halifax though, in most, if not all areas.

Without this sounding the wrong way :- Why doesn't this surprise me!



Unfortunately I can see the RFL telling us where to go!

Not points scoring, but surely it must a little - come on.

Sorry, what part of this is news? Richard Wright has said before that the ground will be built in stages, and there has hardly been a lack of teams upgrading and building stadium in stages: Catalans, Huddersfield and Hull KR all leap to mind

Call it what ever you want. RW has broken too many promises and we as fans shouldn't have to put it with them. We all spend good, hard earned cash to watch Castleford and to go out of way to get the games and for a statement like that to come out now just before the season starts is beyond belief.



I don't know the ins and outs but RW has turned down people who are willing to help and offer alot more than those already on the board. What is he hiding? why wont he let people in who want to help?.



I think our club has been run poorly since Raper and the Mcdonalds left. We have never built on our success and with the current people in charge of running the club i cant see any positives in the future

Sorry but this does worry me. Only a few weeks ago we were being told it was all on course for architects, planning permission going in and build to start around July. Now we're only gonna build two sides and weren't we supposed to have announced the architects by now ? Nearly a month on and not a word.



Also why has nothing been put on the official website ?
