I wouldn't travel anywhere, unless it was in Cas.
If you take the club's identity out of Cas, then it's not Cas. Might as well call it Calder.

| Quote: pyeman "I really can understand your frustration and the frustration of other championship fans, and although i can see the benefit of franchising (for instance the number of youngsters playing in sl this year has been impressive and looks set to increase) the idea of a closed shop where you are discriminated against due to your post code, does not sit east with me, for me franchising will only be ultimatley succesful if it puts rl in the position where it is strong enough to reintroduce p and r (ie a fulltime 2nd tier, enough money to give parachute payments etc). I really do hope that all rl clubs who are pursuing new stadia whether they are in the championships or sl get there new stadiums, whether they be wakey, swinton feth, salford or haven.'"
There are still far too many foreign players in the UK and i dont see this stopping, an easy way to get more youngsters in teams is to cut the quota, no need to stop P+R. franchising is apartheid simple as, i recently applied for a grant to Sport England for Selby Warriors, one of the questions was "does your organisation exclude any groups" if yes the grant is not for you. The irony to this question is the chairman of sport England is our own Richard Lewis, the man at the head of RL the organisation that excludes over half the clubs in the country from its top flight.
All the RFL are doing with the licencing system is paying lip service to the fans and championship clubs, at the next round they will pick the teams THEY want in just like they did last time, no matter what grades teams get. I would think more of them if they just did that instead of putting clubs through a very expensive and time consuming process

I take the point of the rfl "encouraging" you to merge, this is the worst thing that could happen and would put me off the whole concept of cas and wakey sharing a ground

On the other hand we could build a stadium for Cas at the site we've already identified and started work on, with community facilities including a swimming pool … meaning it would be used 52 weeks a year.
Just an idea …

The area around it might do, but the stadium?

| Quote: Saint Simon "As an outsider looking in, why not? what is the distance betweem your clubs? You both come under the borough of Wakefield so surely a combined 20k stadium would work better than two 13k stadia? Saints and Wigan are slightly different as we are 10miles + apart and there is nowhere inbetween to situate a stadium, but if we were closer and there was somewhere to put a combined stadium and it meant both clubs SL survival then i'd be for it.
If Milan can do it, why can't you?'"
We're not AC Wakey, they're not Inter Castleford. We're two different clubs representing two different areas. Why do people constantly drag up inappropriate examples from different sports, different circumstances and different cultures to try and justify crowbaring Cas and Wakey together?

| I remember reading somewhere that the Stanley site is about 3.5miles from both population centres - an ideal location if a ground share ended up being the only way.

| Until bricks are actually being laid, as opposed to shat then we are both (Cas & Wakey) at risk.

I agree with you that it's annoying - and pointless. However, Cas and Wakey are in a unique position in that both teams need new stadia if they are to stay up in Superleague and both teams come under the same council, and no way can one council afford to invest in two rugby league clubs, no matter how different the communities or how strongly each identifies with their own rugby league club. Hull is different because one club has no worries with regard to its facilities and the other has clearly done enough to keep the wolf from the door. All other clubs are in separate towns and boroughs from each other, even though some of us are close to one another, so there isn't the same financial pinch on one authority.
Would it be possible for Cas and Wakey to share a stadium but maintain individual identities within that ground? For instance, by having a Wakefield end and a Castleford end, with separate changing rooms and tunnel on to the pitch and identical corporate and other facilities so that each club could operate separately within the same overall physical space? I dunno. It probably sounds dumb! But especially in this time of credit crunch, unless one club can find entirely separate finance and come up with a separate yet equally atttractive idea (which would compel the council to approve it), I cannot see how Wakefield Council can endorse and/or help finance two entirely separate rugby league clubs within its own borough. Apart from anything else, the council tax payers would go ape!

Aren't they putting any money into either stadium at all? If not, they will still need to give them planning permission won't they?

there will be some money input for the baths i believe, but basically it will be a private initiative, Outline planning is in place and the final design will be rubber stamped,

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |
