About IMG points given, is it still correct that if a SL club own their own ground you get more points ?

If so then Castleford have a new owner as declared by dti registration of owners of businesses, in that registration it States the new owner is Mr Jepson & will rent it out to Castleford plc, two separate entities

Thus a lower points score should follow ?

What i dont understand is that we didnt het our new stand points on last years score hence we get it on this years but theres talk of cas getting more points on this year cos of ground improvements but they aint done none yet and we all know it takes more than a couple of months

Cas are planning on having some tick-box changes made in time for grading.



Nothing structural or an increase in quality, just rearranging the deck chairs.



There's still an ice-berg due in October.

Not next season, but likely it will be a 14 club SL the season after.

We weren't using it when they calculated the score.



They are talking. Let's see how that works out. But we were in the middle of developing so didn't tick any of the boxes but they are adding to existing so easier to just make the threshold. If they do it right.

I still say it won't. They'll only make it 14 if there are 14 viable clubs. And there aren't.

Should always have been a 14 team league.

Looking at the plans on the portal I’d be surprised if they were to pay out to remodel and refurb something then build to the new plans. The axiom and council money won’t stretch for that on the portal and some emergency refurb works.



The facility Cas have on the portal looks far more larger and packed full of way more facilities and rooms than what we have ended up with.



They have plans for 12 x pitchside boxes and a 220 person function area same as ours plus directors viewing boxes, bars, club shops, gyms, numerous offices, 4 x lifts etc etc.



If what we got is a barometer at 12.2 million I can’t see them getting that and doing emergency refurbs to get points.

Apparently….at a meet the directors meeting.at cas. it was said that the up take of units was a long way off…



That doesn’t stop them putting the feelers out for firms that might be up for building it though, now that it’s not been called in ..



But the re modelling/ bodge up… might be there a while and when it does start the logistical issues (should they stay) will be massive…

I actually think us and cas will have very similar high B scores, just putting us ahead of the other clubs around us..

But I bet a certain chairman (over the Pennines won’t be happy if cas have got more points than his club for doing a make up of the ground to tick the box’s ..

This is what they are doing in the short term. https://castlefordtigers.com/article.ph ... nmR7FqfbJc

I'm certainly glad that Ellis seems to be leaving no stone unturned in genuinely investing and buying into the improvements under IMG, and most of it goes hand in hand with improvements to the club. I don't really get that sense with Cas at all, certainly not Fev.
