Is anyone really suprised?

Give over, it's not good and you know it - either that or you're in denial.



My personal opinion is that you will be with us at Stanley - it's just a case of waiting for Mr Wright to accept reality.

If thats the case you best both be vying for top 8 each year with your junior train continuing.

Or further afield until the new stadium is ready.

I don't see anything wrong with phasing construction, it means the club are operating out of a new facility, if just under minimum standards with respect to capacity, which, as long as the other aspects of the license stack up, shouldn't stop them getting a new license.

So we now have clubs being totally uneccessarily put under extreme pressure to comply with barmy criteria



Fit for purpose and safe is all that should be required

Working toilets with a sink would be nice, anything else, bonus.

But I can see the reasoning behind the criteria. I think they're fair, if you want to redevelop like Catalans, Odsal, Kr, Headingly you can

=#8000FFNot really, I am not bothered by it one bit at all, there's an RFL approved plan B and 2 sides of a new stadium is still better then nothing.

There's no new news in this, Richard Wright has said before that it would be a phased construction. Just a journo with an agenda raking up old stories on the media day.

building two sides and then leaving the ends is putting them in exactly the same position as HKR.

It's also how the McAlpine was built.
