If there is even an ounce of truth in this (which personally I seriously doubt) then it is an absolute disgrace and all those involved should hang their heads in shame. I think I am right in saying that your club now has a sound financial structure and what I believe to be a playing squad which could easily attain top 6 this year. The only issue you have (and lets be honest we have as I don't believe it until I see it) is the stadium issue which in no part is any fault of your own. I am one of few many Cas fans who believe that we should both get a new stadium and push on from there. Wakefield and Cas fans are very proud of their respective clubs and I can only imagine how I would react if this was mooted about us. It would as someone said previously be the final nail in the coffin of professional rugby league.

Good luck with you search for a new home, if it actually comes to that. More importantly good luck in getting the 2 points tonight as I'm on the -2 like the proverbial car bonnet.

I agree that a place in super league should be valued at between £12-15 million, although I've suggested earlier that the money was used to buy the 35acres and spend £9m to build the stadium as Carter says that's what it would take, it would also cover us for a couple of years wages and running costs while we re-established.

The problem comes when you consider what what would a move actually mean as the league currently stands; the new city would get the league spot, possibly the trinity name, and probably the current players & staff. But that would only guarantee them a super league place for one season, in reality, that is probably only worth about £2m as it's a big risk for a new area to take and they'll have to set up academies and community stuff etc. If licensing comes back in then the value of a super league spot increases massively as it would guarantee several years for a new city to develop. This leads to the issue that a "new" club in Wakefield would be frozen out of reaching the Super League as we would have to wait to apply for a licence where we'd probably be quite far down the list

I'd be happy to play in a new stadium in a lower league, but we'd have to accept that we'd likely never see top flight rugby again

Coventry, Bristol, Toronto or any other club could be on a winner here because Mr Carter has said on more than one occasion that he would sell the club for a penny to anyone who wanted it. Or perhaps he was kidding!!!

Why don't they just chuck us out and give the franchise to somebody else.
All these financial calculations seem a little arbitrary when all the powers that be need to do is make it impossible for us to meet the conditions in the offer of a franchise.
If "they" want it to happen, I don't think we have any cards to play, with no money, no assets and no backing from the council, what is to stop them doing whatever they want'
All we have is goodwill, public opinion and an anti-Wexit movement.

We should hold out until next season, Moran can buy our place next season he is minted.
