| Quote: franchisecas "15 years ago and 10 years ago. I would have said No No No to a merger. Now today its different.
Wakey and Cas are both in Financial Trouble and Wakey have a CVA against them. Cas have no money, a crumbling stadium and Wakey have had Tax bill demands and are selling best players to pay off debts. Wakey's ground is the worst viewing stadium in super league and charge £20 to get in. Both Clubs have seen falling attendences and Both clubs know they are not good enough to compete for a trophy.
If we merge and have a brand new stadium(wherever it is) and new fresh board. We could be a big force in Super League. We have a great catchment area for fans and Junior talent and the area is rugby mad. In a new stadium with a team ready to compete, we could be a force again. All I want to do do is watch quality rugby league, and the only time i see this is on the TV, when saints play Leeds or wigan etc....
I wish both clubs could compete seperately. But I think the longer they try the bigger the fall. Its time for Fans to get behind both clubs and do what is right. Otherwise it could be bye bye super league for Both'"
I thought they exited the CVA years ago?

It almost exclusively is. Given the accounting methods uncovered at the Melbourne Storm today though, I expect some squeaky bottoms in the Warrington area at the moment.
If Cas or Wakey have someone similar in the background waiting to come to the fore then that would possibly change the situation. Is that the case?

I'm sure it had some impact, but whatever is behind the new stadium being built doesn't really matter, the fact that their attendances shot through the roof once they were in the new stadium is the significant factor, once we finally get in there, I'm sure our attendances will also be boosted and along with that will come a greater commercial activity, with hospitality bringing in even more much needed revenue.

| In all the years i have supported cas i have known many lows, but nothing has left me feeling as bad as reading this thread, many times we have heard the word merger but i have never been worried since i knew the cas fans would never let it happen. But now i see cas fans are actually considering it and that sickens me. No matter how dissapointing a result may have been theres was always next week, the club would go on and our fortunes would change one way or another. All that matters to me is supporting cas tigers, what league they are in and how many trophies we win does not come remotly close in importance.
If this merger were to ever happen, why the hell should any cas fan support it? it would have as much to do with cas as salford does. I would despise any merged club with a passion, and end my assosiation with pro rl completly, and there are thousand more like me.
For someone to say that no other club could bear the castleford tigers name makes my blood boil why the hell if cas fans want to start afresh in the lower leagues shouldnt they be allowed to? Even doing a bramley and becoming amatuer is better than just allowing the club to die, and the club would be dead, killed off by a new team that has nothing to do with castleford or its history.
I have sung 'cas until i die' on the terraces since i was a child, and i damn well meant it.

| Well if you move to Newmarket a merger will happen eventually.
Best thing you could do if you don't want to merge is also refuse to move to Newmarket under any circumstances.

We won't be moving to Newmarket, I don't think Wakey will either, for that matter
and last but by no means least, there will not be a merger!

Totally agree mate. I couldn't have anything to do with a soul-less merged together club. I would rather us battle it out in the National Leagues then staying "Super League" and lose our club.

It may be a difficult concept for you to grasp! But calling it a joint venture is a joke are you suggesting that two organisations are kept , maybe we should keep two teams and play them both at the same time against the opposition then maybe the merger/ joint venture would win more than they lose.

Have you actually bothered to read the link I posted? Your ignorance of the facts suggests not.
