Never

No I can't - just off the top of my head, I should have put the word 'potentially' before the figure!

so you see it could be the death of both clubs, I've spoke to many fans that have stopped supporting the club and there's been a multitude of excuses as to not coming back

You may be right. All theory anyway because I just cannot see it happening.

Don't like it. I'd rather drop a division.

You could only guage a merged team's attendance based on its location. Say the merged "Calder" team played in Wakefield - how many CT and FR supporters would attend matches ? Not many I bet. Likewise if the merged team played in Featherstone or Castleford - how many WTW would watch that ? It will never happen - and the main reason for it not happening is there is nothing to gain from it.

We need each other to survive as separate entities. If you go out of SL - CT might gain a couple of players and a few juniors might be tempted to sign for us - thats all. What we would lose financially from WTW not been in the top flight will far outweigh these gains.

You are our Yin to our Yang, we are your fire to your water and so on.

Personally if I wanted to watch a successful local side I had no affinity with I already have two options. Leeds and to a lesser extent Huddersfield. Wherever this merged team would play would alienate the othet two sets of supporters, and the merged entity would need some serious investors to cover the losses its likely to make for 10 years or so until the new generstion of fans who had no previous allegiance to one of the three come through.

Its a no from me.

Merged team my



Fev own their ground and 17 acres of land, Cas own their ground, why would they want a merger ? Its embarrassing to even mention it on here, just shows how desperate the situation is, to even contemplate such action. They have and will always have the power position due to assets, and its simple as that, and as such, we would always be the ones to succumb to demands. We don't even own the cheer leaders FFS, let alone the ground

Just as a matter of interest when and who was BV sold to

Tillion (Ted) who since defaulted so now the BOI owns it.

No, no and no. Sounds like you have given up already, you may has well go support Leeds or Bradford rather then put together a "team" we have said no to for the last 15 years if all you want to watch is super league.
