The pitch dimensions are already to “the required standards”.steadygetyerboots-on wrote: ↑25 Jun 2022, 12:06I get the cost argument, but we will never get a better opportunity to get the pitch dimensions up to the required standard.

Re: Stadium
That’s my understanding too.
Re: Stadium
Exactly. It’s just bellends like John Wilkin and Phil Clarke who, as terrible commentators, have nothing else to say, so start to bore everyone by reminding them of our pitch dimensions.
Re: Stadium size
nothing wrong with the size and dimensions of the pitch according to the rfl jus the idiots on sky, What makes our pitch look smaller is that the terrace are down to the side of the pitch not like the modern stadium with a 20ft break from terraces to to the pitch side.
Re: Stadium size
What makes it look smaller is that it is smaller than any other in the division. It is though within the guidelines so all is good.yorkie1bn wrote: ↑25 Jun 2022, 15:09 nothing wrong with the size and dimensions of the pitch according to the rfl jus the idiots on sky, What makes our pitch look smaller is that the terrace are down to the side of the pitch not like the modern stadium with a 20ft break from terraces to to the pitch side.

Re: Stadium
Can we start a thread about bellends, and why bellends like John Wilkin in particular have got a thing about our club!!
I'll start by saying John Wilkin was/is the most overrated bellend to have ever played the game of RL and obviously something still haunts him about Cas or our ground or both!!

Re: Stadium
The current rules do allow a 100 yard length pitch and that is what Wheldon Road is. However, I believe there's a desire from the RFL/SL to have SL pitches that are 100m long to allow equal division in 10m sections.
This 'desire' could result in future rules changes that could then be used to prevent clubs with 'small' pitches being promoted to SL.
I really doesn't make much sense to me to redevelop WR and not extend the pitch but I know those that run our great club have always penny inched and as such, I can see them taking the decision to leave it as it is and risk future participation in SL.
For reference 10o yards is about 91.5m, a significant difference when you think about it.

Re: Stadium
Don’t know about penny pinching. I don’t think they really know how much they will be able to afford at this stage, but I suspect it won’t run to doing everything in the plan

Re: Stadium
All very quiet on how much the club will actually get. £10 million doesn’t go that far these days and is likely to be the minimum we would need to get all that is being suggested, particularly as it’s not a green field site
Re: Stadium
That will be the obvious question at the meeting how much are we likely to get on top of the 2 million

Re: Stadium
I’ve just noticed that on the list of “who” will be there on Thursday, there’s no one from the club named….
Re: Stadium
I've just seen that be a bit odd if no one will be there representing the club cant see that but I don't know
Just seen as well three youths broke into the ground this morning and have done thousands of pounds worth of damage and stolen things unbelievable
