To be fair it's the same as we did with the old East Stand, you wouldn't spend any more than you have to if the plan is to knock it down.

I’m sure we would do the same thing …
However will the RFL & IMG feel as though they’ve had their pants pulled down if cas implemented plan B, claim the points then promptly pull it down and move out while the ground is re vamped?

It doesn't matter to RFL. If Cas meet the criteria they meet the criteria. Doesn't matter how close they are and they can rebuild every year if they like.

So clubs looking to save a few bob would be better hiring equipment to get boxes ticked . Then sending it back until the clip board man shows up from IMG

Clearly that isn't what I said, nor how the grading works.

I’m not looking for an argument pop tart…more clarification..
If cas are going to install seating at the end of the 2024 season to qualify for the minimum number of seats thus getting the points … then surely they are going to install seats similar to those we put in in the south stand. Cheaper to hire them than the cost of proper fitting seats that they are likely to remove when their development starts

I'm assuming, but am not guaranteeing that they would check one way or another that the seats are there for the season.
I don't think they have to be permanent.
But they'd lose points on all the journalist area and probably attendance as people won't want to sit in them.
And to get to the numbers they need I think it would cost a lot but ultimately, I think they could.
I'll have another read tonight. I haven't looked it for a while.

Thanks…
If you get chance, listen to the coyf podcast
Their CEO is on there.. it’s all in the first 20 mins, it’s a bit of an eye opener..

I really don't want to listen to a Cas podcast - can't you just tell us?

If I visit the Cas forum, I bleach my eyes afterwards!

That’s completely understandable
