I would laugh if it goes t-ts up

of course they should share a ground. it's the way forward

Tad, give over

Castleford only knows backwards

I do think a shared ground would be the more ideal structure for both clubs. For such small local clubs the added revenue of having the stadium in constant use throughout the season would be beneficial to both clubs allowing them to possibly free up cash to plough into the squad and become more competitive. They could do what the Milan football teams do in the San Siro and have their own ends of the ground.

However i feel this would be something both sets of fans wont agree on. I think the main reason been the stadiums location. I know this means allot but in hindsight they should think about whats best for their clubs. i hear a lot of Wakey fans refusing to move to the Cas site thats been proposed because its not part of wakefield. But the proposed site of the new wakey ground is practically in leeds so whats the big problem? I know the same argument comes out all the time "how would you feel about ground sharing with Bradford?". Well I wouldnt like it but i know thats not going to happen as we arent in a position to have to do that. However if we had to for the sake of the club then so be it

I will be sending a strongly worded letter to Leeds Rhinos and the owner of Southstander.com and ask them to ban you for your nasty words toward the Castleford tigers club

Regards

An angry Cas fan

I feel sorry for you in that case.

Lets be honest the only people objecting this ground share will be a small minority and the thriving homosexual community in both areas. On the news you’ll see some Castleford fan whose clearly not too keen on salad claiming its all wrong without any logical reason why whilst fifteen kids in the background pull faces at the camera.

Wakefield don’t even have any fans so you’ll see some chav whose had some brief media training just before going on air answering yes or no. His mates will be in the background either cheering by shouting ‘waaaayyy’ whilst lifting two arms up or sticking up two fingers.

The rest of the population in these areas won’t give a damn. Especially the rugby league ones who go to watch rugby league no matter what sh[ii[/ithole its played in.

To be fair Gotcha and I am not having a go at you, you need to know more of the facts before making a call like that as it is not just that simple... in fact it is really complex. The Newmarket scheme would be the one I would back and the one I think Wakefield Council want to back and will back! I am happy to tell you why, but it would be a long post and to be fair many might not be interested on this board.

My gut is telling me that the talks are really all about Cas dropping there plans and moving into the new community stadium at Newmarket, alongside Wakefield, whom have already agreed a deal with the Community Trust and the developer.

I also think that a merger is not the right way to go (Ground share fine though) and that Cas might be faced with, and possibly chose to stay put and drop out of SL and still play as Cas in the National League.

Unlucky bewildered, your well thought out post got stuck in the middle of a bunch of gompers trying to be funny.

IIRC haven't the RFL already made reference to sides needing to be further on with new stadia than just outline planning permission when the next round of licence applications go in?

While not disagreeing with your satement (edited) above, although we have not had to consider a ground share with the Bulls, we do have to do exactly that with Leeds Carnegie & just look at the arguments/debate that rouses on here. Sadly logic, common sense & financial realism don't figure highly in most fan's thoughts.
Remember that he who pays the piper calls the tune so it will be the politicians in Wakefield who will make the final decision. Both sets of fans will then have to like it or lump it.
