I would prefer not to. However if we were to consider i would only want them as our tennants we don't want a repeat of their recent financial problems affecting our future, we don't want anyone taking out mortgages against our ground without anyone knowing would we

Why the he'll would we want to help our biggest franchise rivals a massive helping hand to get a franchise. It sounds like this Elston bloke would want a share of our revenue streams. We have put a lot of work into the ground, now Wakie would like to join the party at this late stage after stating they didn't want a part of it. Granted it was different owners. For me the only way we should allow them to join is as tenants. Personally I would tell em to bog off. I know it sounds harsh but our SL survival is at risk. I genuinely hope they get a franchise, but why should they be allowed to just jump on our bandwagon?

Knew they'd change their mind sooner or later. Newmarket has hit a brick wall and they're looking for something to grab onto.

I never thought it was a good idea when it was first mentioned and nothing i've heard has changed my mind.

NO!

Simple as that!

With you all the way

If they want to pay an extortionate amount of rent + a fee up front + give up 75% of concession & parking revenue then fine, let em come play, the empty black & amber seats and all the CASTLEFORD signage will be brilliant for them

Elston now 'openly admitting' that Newmarket is a questionable option. With wakey a championship side for 3 years and no guarentee of returning to SL why would anyone build a 12k stadium at Newmarket.

If Wakey share Glasshaughton then they will be a championship side and will never retain SL status. Having 2 teams in the same stadium hardly spreads the licences.

Not bothered either way. What do the super, world-class team of Wakefield need to do with us? They're a certainty to get a licence according to some of their fan on their forum.

I doubt anything will come of this as I think they would rather share with Fev than Cas! This is just Wakey keeping their options open.
What happened to Oakwell anyway?

It would be a Polecat Feeder team from the NL1

Pah, after they initially rejected the idea, let them eat cake

Did anyone bother to read beyond the headline and what the newspaper spin used to catch people's attention?

Read the actual quotes and tell me where JE says anything about sharing at GH.

Is it this bit?:
"I think that any shared facility would have to be in a fairly neutral location."

or this?:
"I think Castleford are well on their way with their planning, but I have no idea when they are planning their build."

or this?:
"The difficult part of that question is if there's no stadium to share, where are we going to play?"

or perhaps here?:
"We need to speak to Castleford, to Featherstone and the council and find out exactly where everybody is and reassess everything, because if we can find out, we can start our stadium build in six months and then move forward."

He's not ruling out the possiblity of sharing, but where is there any suggestion that could be at GH?

Posters onhere have clearly shown how a 'share' at GH could never work for WTW.

Panic over. As you were.

Barnsley wanted to £30k a game.... Something Wakey didn't have
