Last week James Elston confirmed that we have a plan B and have a deal in place should we need to temporarily play elsewhere whilst the ground is built or planning details are overcome. He wouldn't say what it was but I can't imagine what else it could be other than Oakwell. He also said that SL rules dictate that such a deal be in place for 5 years (although you dont need to play there for 5 years, I guess it covers the length of a franchise)

Anyone know if Cas have a plan B anywhere??

I know we shouldn't be worrying about or concentrating on Cas but lets face it they are probably our main rivals for a franchise.

Out of interest would supporters rather go to Oakwell or Elland Rd as a plan B option?

They're pretty much equidistant from each other with Elland Road easier to get to I would imagine.

Would prefer Barnsley myself, on the basis that it is a smaller gorund and as such may be easier to generate an atmosphere.

Also with the additional bonus of maybe picking up a few local fans.

Seem to remember Doncaster being mentioned as a stop gap.

Public transport wise, you'd have to swap bus companies to get to Elland Road - good for parking though. But, Leeds under Kuddly Uncle Ken don't need the money, nor a rugby team messing up the pitch when challenging for a place back in the Premier League.

Oakwell over Elland Road for me EVERY TIME!

Shorpe has also been mentioned on Casforum- which is always a great read!

Scenario:
NM is in limbo- going to be developed but not in time for 2012, we have a lease (5 year) on Oakwell while we get NM developed.
RW know's all along he can't afford to build so essentially banked on NM failing/ being delayed to ensure his own club's SL status, ergo he applied and was granted PP without the required funds to build in order to have a superior application based his assumption of us still being at BV.

Question:
Who do the RFL take?
Club A.
No planning permission as yet due to technical issues with the sites development & impact. With a lease to "A grade" stadium (outside the city limits).

Or
Club B.
A club with planning permission but no cash to build. With no "plan B"

All of this is speculation and dooms day predictions until the 22nd.
As I've said all along RW is playing a "blinking game" with WTW, which if NM comes off he has big trouble to come!
- On a side note; could the "other site" mentioned at their BoD meeting on thurs be NM? Have they been told NM will be looked on favourably and been offered one last chance to join the party?

Oakwell every time - easier to get to , better stadium ( all bar the old stand ) & a chance of picking up a few new fans .

plan A is what we want. We are Wakefield we play in wakefield. Rugby union down pan football team down pan only thing left is Wakey Trin and if we permenantly play in Barnsley we may aswell be called Barnsley Bulldogs !

didnt you miss somethig off club A ? you know like being on the brink of closure twice in a season, chaiman with his own cash issues, players not getting paid on time, all the things superleague require in their clubs pmsl

Please provide a link to castlefords financial position that proves your point, or is it a forlorn hope of yours that it is true.

Whens the taxman due back ????????

About the time Cas start building their stadium. So that's a long long time away

You do talk some rubbish, cockle.

As for Plan B's, I am sure we have several available to us. However, I'm still of the opinion and belief that it won't be needed and until March comes and goes without a brick or JCB in sight, I'll maintain that.
