In my opinion both Wakefield and Castlefords grounds are accidents waiting to happen. How they get safety certificates I do not know. Not are they just scruffy.
The terraces at both stadia are in poor condition and at some point an accident will happen. When this one does occur someone will have to be held to account.
I know there have been promises of new grounds, but these are some way off at best. RFL need to get a grip and ensure these grounds are bought up to standard.

There isn’t enough talent to support an increase in SL teams. Just look at all the teams involved in the relegation battle. All 4 of them have a roster made up

It might be a one off but look what happened to Salford this year compared to last and hardly a team full of superstar signings? A 14 team league is more balanced and better than a season made up of contrived loop fixtures to 'make the numbers up' IMO

I found it rather amusing watching the SL show this week and seeing Jamie Peacock talking about the four sides who faced the drop and waxing lyrical about the drama it brought.

This is the same Jamie Peacock that when at Hull KR three years ago publicly stated that 'relegation has no place in RL' after they went down. He's soon changed his tune.

I cant recall if it was him or one of his other former team mates that, just a few years ago, wanted SL trimming to 10 clubs.
Again, there was a rapid U- turn on those thoughts as well.

Having said that, this season, apart form Saints domination at the top, has been really open and competitive and the relegation battle in particular has been as close and as tense as anything that we've seen in RL (perhaps excluding the original MPG between Wakefield & Cas) and it all happened without fabricating fixtures and finding gimmicks - something that those in charge should take particular note of. :IDEA:

I think we all agree that that the bottom half of the table was more exciting than the top.
Saints were a country mile in front of everybody in the regular season

Both Wakefield and Castleford grounds are safe for people to attend. The safety and more importantly insurance certificates confirm this. I also think the appearance is a bit depressing and some of the facilities are inadequate but, I love the place as a few thousand others do. Last Friday night home game under lights, clear sky with a full moon, a good vociferous crowd, believe me, there’s no better place to be if you’re a rugby league fan.

Have you anything specific in mind on how the accident could happen or is this another one whinging that the stadium doesn't look pretty enough for you :roll:
