its pointless bitching about it I'd love a stadium like theirs even if we didn't own it, the fact is RL in the birthplace where it was born is dying a slow death and its painful to see, looks like they will always be in the shadow of town

I'm passed all the insults thrown at us now in fact the more publicity the better, bring it on

The council have said many times it would be illegal to use public money on a private venture.
It would cost atleast £15m to build a new stadium, Wakefield have no money Castleford have no money(they own their ground which can only be sold for housing which is worth £4/5m and over £1m is owed to the Fulton family.

Internet reply "I've got a great idea, share a stadium and $15m will magically appear."

In all honestly Snowie, give me the option of sit in an empty stadium (like the giants) and watch Wakefield or go down to good old Belle Vue where despite the numbers there's always an atmosphere, I'd pick the latter week in week out.

it wasn't going to be a private venture, it was a sweetener to the city of Wakefield for freeing up green belt land so they could masses of profit and generate the city, for what it is worth I'd now share a stadium but not at Castleford that's where the problem is for me

I love my stadium like no other and wish we could regenerate it back to suitable standard so others could stop complaining, I've no problem ing up against a wall in the old toilets or standing on old terracing

I think he's talking about the proposed Cas stadium

No surprise who started the thread and what he intentions are. Genuine question my .

Personally I'd rather play at Dewsbury than end up playing in a stadium in Castleford. I am sure Cas fans would rather play at Hunslet than share a stadium in Wakey. The best stadium in the district is in Fev but would either (or both) of us want to end up there?

If we lived in a perfect world all teams would own a state of the art recently built stadium, that's full to capacity for each and every game. But we don't. If you took the time to read some of the threads on the Castleford and Wakefield forums,you might appreciate how frustrating it has been for groups of supporters who are still trying to move things forward. Most would have thrown the towel in due to bureaucrats and folk trying to make quick money obstructing any progress. I take my hat off to them for fighting on, and I hope one day they sit in the stadium that they deserve.

On a lighter note, I didn't know Rogues Gallery was a children's entertainer, nor lovable.

This.

At Leeds they’re finally finishing off the two main stands but back around 2010/11 Hetherington had hoped to have it done by 2014, but even a club of Leeds’ size and success that it was bringing to the city at the time still ran into hurdles with Leeds City Council. Also why the Western Terrrace at Headingley will remain the eyesore of what is otherwise a great modern looking stadium, not because Leeds don’t care about away fans get soaked in the rain.

Neither club will ever get a new stadium. Castlefords isn’t “that” bad but Wakefield’s is shocking. That said, they won’t have the worst stadium this year in SL

5-6 years ago I'd have been appalled at the idea of a ground share with wakefield, now I'm not that fussed. Granted obviously I wouldn't fancy it in the heart of wakefield but could somewhere like Normy not be considered ? I find it highly unlikely that both sides will get successful projects any time soon.

Franchising going away has taken the pressure off somewhat.

From a selfish perspective I'm really not that bothered, I can't imagine I'd enjoy a new ground that much but looking beyond that it makes sense to have multi purpose sports facilities . I just don't see it anytime soon.

Thread tidied and pms sent

The feeling I get and it's been brought up already, that if a site in 'neutral' territory, say Normanton could be found, developed and it financially worked for both clubs as far as corporate, food & drink etc, i know the owners would jump at it and I also think the majority of fans would be happy, as long as the seating colours where done right .
I think we're all just sick of the whole false dawns and broken promises and dodgy developers tbh. I get the impression from what i hear and read, that both sets of fans have changed somewhat from the days of - not a chance would we share no matter where it is.
