| Depends how you decide if we 'fail'.
The reality of Cas 'failing' is zero because we still have full PP and still have our own asset to sell. Therefore, whether it is 1 year, 5 years or 10 years, Glasshoughton will be built sooner or later. This is in contrast to Wakefield who are relying on the PI to go their way, which if it doesn't then it's back to the drawing board. I do suspect, however, that should this be the case that a new planning application for the same piece of land will be drawn up but on a smaller scale.
Opus are obviously behind WR 100% and are putting significant cash into the project through their various pre-consultations, reports etc, to fully supplement the Planning application for full PP on Wheldon Rd. They wouldn't do that if they were confident and the unprecendented support (over 22k signatures) just makes the work a whole lot easier. It's harder to argue with public opinion.
Anyway, we'll cross this bridge when it happens but for now there is no reason why both stadia shouldn't be built in both sets of fans' opinions. Let's hope that this is the case then this discussion can finally be put to bed and fans from other club can finally go foxtrot oscar.

I suppose the failure (in the eyes of the RFL) would be if the grounds were not built/being built in this next franchise period.

| But the RFL have to accept the country is on its backside. Unless you have someone with £12m+ to burn or can get funding from various organisations and a supermarket partner on the same site it's going to be difficult.
Like I said, hopefully this discussion won't even be relevant in 3 years, never mind now.
Am I being a pain and annoying you yet?

Since when has the RFL taken such a pragmatic approach?
No more than usual!!!!!

| Obvious troll thread is obvious.
No, we don't want to share with your inferior team in your imaginary stadium. If it comes to it, the Keepmoat.

Well done, for taking the quote out of context and trimming off the start of the sentence, to suit your desperate agenda. You're a winner - really you are.

It could suggest it - but you never know!
Which proves that your original out of context mis-quote was, at best, an act of childish mischief designed to play to the gallery, or at worst, a dishonest attempt to highlight a point that I never made in the first place.
You can apologise whenever you feel ready.

No brainer for me if we share a nm the club will either be merged, dead or playing in championship 1 within 5 years. I think we will take outr own chances thanks. Good luck with newmarket.'"
For me pyeman, it would be a toss up between 3 things,
1. do i want to see wakey play in the top flight? yes
2. do i mind being a tenant in a ground owned by another club? id prefer not to be
3. is SL the be all and end all? it shouldn't be, but i think it probably is, and that is no disrespect to any clubs below SL level.
The difference for cas would be in question 2. and for me this makes the make up of the question very different to if it was asked of wakefield. IMO cas would be joint tenants at NM, a sports facility for the district on neutral territory.
I side stepped your question slightly, so in answer, i would 100%...............not be sure.

The merger thing would be a real concern for me too, as for wakey dismissing it, that was at gh i think.
I would prefer for both clubs to have separate grounds and 100% maintain their own identities, however the clock is ticking and we are still not in either new ground and the rfl have laid down a new factor in this lot of franchises, we arent guaranteed three years if our grounds aren't moving forward.
If both clubs are moving forward, no problem, if not sufficiently for the rfl both clubs could have real problems.
how about:
e) when rangi chase becomes english?
