I’m quite pleased with how all of this has played out - a lot of us Cas fans have been very disappointed in the way our youth has been treated over the last few years so, hopefully, this is the kick up the backside that the club needed. There is no shortage of talent in the area, the schools teams and youth teams do well. They just don’t seem to either a) improve or b) be given the chance, when they have entered the academy set up over the last 7/8 years. We have a coach coming in that does seem to want to promote youth so, hopefully, this is the start of us getting back to where we should be.

The 3 club's, for varying reasons, and in varying degrees, messed up their academies/applications. Big style.
They have, quite rightly and exactly how I said they would, been given a reprieve. (Clearly one of us knows more than the other).
If the club's only received their feedback yesterday, on what basis were they already going to arbitration? You have to cite a specific reason; to do that, they must have had feedback.
Bulls being denied was down to underinvestment in the set-up, simply relying on a decent grass roots to prop it up.
HKR - very unfortunate to be deemed a junior partner in the CoH academy.
Cas - woeful production line, woeful back-room set-up and woeful, back of a fag-packet application - they thought it was a foregone conclusion.
Glad all 3 have a chance to make progress, but if you (or they), don't get the licence extended in 2 year's time - whose fault will it be then?
You found this out when and from whom?
As you've been trotting this out for over a week now and both Bradford and Hull KR only got their feedback a little over 24 hours ago.

Made me chuckle that. A two thousand page application made on the back of a fag packet. Forty five staff servicing 70 academy lads. More homework required Dboy.

Uncanny how everything I guessed was correct.
Weird.
I realise it's a difficult thing to do for a Bulls fan, but just accept that I am far better connected to the detail than you, and that you were wrong. Go on, do it, admit it - it would be an iconic moment.
I won't be sharing sources - stupid of you to even ask.

Oh dear.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
Is your keyboard broken???
Do you actually believe what you just wrote?
2000 pages?
You think you have 70 academy players, and that they are serviced on a better than 2:1 ratio?
Cas tigers don't even have 45 staff, never mind working in the academy.
