| If we get a franchise on the back of this meeting then yes it was the biggest meeting in the history of the club. 6months ago we might not have had a club, should we secure our place then ag has performed a minor miracle

| Let's not cherry pick the promises that RW has made because you know as well as I do that there's more broken ones than kept ones, such as "the financial packages for the stadium delivery are in place"
Can you show me an artical where he actually stated it was in place? You lot shouted from the roof tops saying you haven't got the money, but no where I have seen RW state that the money was there, because I believe I am correct in saying that he stated the stadium could not be build in one phase, but would meet the requirements for a License!!!.
Same as NW, the only people saying you had the funds were your fans.

I've heard him say it in a TV interview but there are a number of articles that also quote him saying it!
The Castleford Tigers CEO Richard Wright did a webchat this week - details at the following link - www.pontefractandcastlefordex...ght.6022829.jp
I have extracted some of the more important bits.

[Comment From Gareth MainGareth Main:
Hi Richard, first obvious question is: what funding IS in place for the stadium? If we started the build today, how much could we build?
Hi Gareth. All elements of the funding package are in place and in the longer term we believe we can deliver the 15,000-capacity stadium. However, the recession is slowing everything down and it is harder to unlock the elements of the funding package. We have considered phasing due to the time scales of the RFL and the minimum standard we believe at the moment for the next licence will be between 10,000 and 11,000. We are focused on delivering phase one by 2012 to meet the timeline . For clarification, phase one would include all corporate facilities, better facilities for the fans with regard to food and toilets, the new Tigers bar and it should give us an opportunity to get 10,000 in every week. The best way to phase a stadium will be considered by the architects and achieving atmosphere will be a priority. Once they have developed the plans we will put them on view for the fans to look at and I think they will be happy with the outcome.
To answer the second part of your question, we cannot start to build today. We do not have a detailed design or detailed planning consent. Our focus is on delivering for 2012.

However, Tigers chief executive, Richard Wright, admits the club, which secured outline planning permission nearly three years ago, are still looking for further investment for the project which could cost around £11.5m.

They are direct quotes not the interpretation of the reporter.
The real question is,
Was Ricard Wright lying?
Either YES or NO!
What do you say?

No.
The funding package was in place. Unlocking the components was a different matter.
