So where do they use the word adequate

So where do they use the word adequate  I definitely remember seeing the word adequate written somewhere. Maybe the RFL realised the gaff and how silly it looked and changed the documents.

Pat welcomed us to the "adequate" stobart stadium at the game against Dewsbury on the 27th July. It was definitely said and must have been in the announcement because it was texted to me that morning.

Dickie said it verbally. It wasn't written.

Didn't Lewis actually say on Boots and All or somewhere that Wakefield need to do something with their ground or their success in the next franchise round can't be guaranteed? Words to that effect
Seems like they are doing nothing with it now!!! Pfft....

I had a look at the RFL site and a summary of some of the stadia comments is below:
BRADFORD BULLS The Coral Stand offers good hospitality but the remainder of the stadium requires improvement and there are some development plans.
CASTLEFORD TIGERS Whilst well maintained, the ground is limited and old fashioned. However, the club recognise this and has relatively advanced plans for a new stadium. Financial projections are based on the new ground, although there is evidence of a Plan B.
CELTIC CRUSADERS Whilst well maintained, the ground is limited and old fashioned but there is a commitment to immediately enhance the current facilities. In the medium term the club recognises the need to develop a new facility and appears to be working with the local public agencies to deliver this.
SALFORD CITY REDS Whilst well maintained, the ground is limited and old fashioned. However, the club recognise this and has relatively advanced plans for a new stadium and are on site. The Willows offers good corporate facilities and disabled facilities.
WAKEFIELD TRINITY WILDCATS Whilst well maintained, the ground is limited and old fashioned. However, the club recognise this and have plans for a new stadium. These are not as far advanced as might be the case despite projected occupation by 2010 and evidence of a Plan B would have been beneficial. !!!
WARRINGTON WOLVES The club plays in a quality new stadium which in all but one or two aspects is excellent. Further ground improvements are planned and although financial projections are challenging, the club has a good record in this area.
WIDNES VIKINGS The stadium is an appropriate size and well appointed following significant investment in recent years.
WIGAN WARRIORS The club is playing in an excellent stadium and attracts good attendances. hahaha
Interesting that Wire's ground is considered to be excellent but the Stobart is of appropriat esize and well appointed.
Also, I wonder how further advanced the various advanced plans are? Pre-announcement day there where press-releases, hard hats and excavators everywhere. It has gone awfully quiet now. I await any furtehr developments with interest.
I wish someone would stick that on Lewis' head with the word big-spangles underneath.It would make my year.

The word adequate was used in the original assessment which the clubs received on the 22nd July.The copy of this assessment was printed in the programme for the following Sunday along with the assessments for all other applications.
