I do not give too hoots about Cas. They have a future don't worry about that, as long as Box is in their corner he will see they are OK. There is no way we should be forced to move out of the City just to make it a little easier for Box to finance a stadium in Castleford.
You can dream all you want, but I can tell you there is no way Cas will leave Cas !

Not that it will make any difference to the decision makers but if we go to Dewsbury I'm as likely as not finished with Trinity, the quickest route is 13 miles each way, if we move out to Dewsbury the club will alienate a good number of speccis. From Normy we've been known to take three buses to away matches in the not too distant past.

Cannot understand the selfish attitude of those who would be finished with Trinity if they had to travel a bit.For loads of us on the west side of Wakefield we already do the travelling. Dewsbury for me loads nearer than Belle Vue.
I assume these totally selfish people would also not travel to Newmarket.
Not true supporters.

As tenants, guests, lodgers squatters? The naivete is in thinking that Dewsbury is anything other than a very short term sticking plaster on a weeping sore.

We must have a permanent solution or cease to exist and Cas are in the same situation. Only a jointly negotiated settlement can allow either or both clubs to have a future.

With respect mate we are not in the same situation. We still own our own ground.

Is that aimed at me? I was giving my own opinion, we travel four miles each way for every home game and have done for forty years, not bad for someone that's not a true supporter. My finances are limited so sticking a thirteen mile taxi ride each way would stretch my finances even more. Our match day is a social event, we like a beer during the game then a couple after, a return taxi would be between £40 & £50. Not for me, I'll leave that to you TRUE supporters.

is it just me that hates it when the word 'true supporter' starts getting banded around?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with being selfish!
Many supporters would be prepared to go to Owl Lane on a temporary basis, or any other ground, within reason, for that matter; BUT, if it's a move there without a certain return within the city, then it would be a no go because it would be the demise of the club.
I support WT because the club is in Wakefield. Anywhere else won't do.

Weren't a lot in favour if the proposed site we had in Ossett a few years back.

Not really that far away from there to Owl Lane.

By the way, in the way of mentioning taxis to and from games, it's something like £4.70 for a West Yorkshire day ticket with Arriva.

Obviously there is a saving in rent bey owning your ground but, has this helped very much ? and are there any debts, loans etc secured against it, which will reduce it's net worth.
