| This is all becoming a real side show with at the end of it no winners. I feel for MC and CB as from what I read they have invested loads into the club. I feel for everyone involved at whatever level including players, officials and supporters.
Not one of you is going to like this but in order to save a great club for the rest of its days, A Ground Share has to be looked at NOW.
Settle down, think of the future.
Yes I am a Cas fan but I have always stated Wakefield are my second club so save the club. Realistically are there any winners in this and if Wakefield were to win in court I fear it would be to late for continuing SL status.
Sorry if this post offends

| I guess if we go halfs with Cas, that means we get a ground for 50p?

Simple. both clubs need a ground. It looks like there is only one option at the minute (Junction 32). If that is Castleford as tenants, so what. I'm sure financially MC can negotiate a better deal than that that is offered at the moment.
It is the Wakefield clubs future that has to be secured otherwise the next nail in the coffin will come from the RFL.

| People are going to have to stop sounding like they are delivering ultimatums or appearing to push people in to corners.
You realize its 50/50, or it ain't happnin, Wakey can stay handicapped to hell financially where they are, they don't need to go to Cas for it on the basis that they have no choice.
There are choices, one of them isn't playing 2nd fiddle in Glasshoughton, we both share the same Council, Cas are no more deserving than Wakey, whilst Glasshoughton is a massive compromise, its not unthinkable provided the footing is equal.
Dunno how that's gonna work though.

| Actually, now that you mention it, Glasshoughton is a massive compromise for one club, how much of a compromise is Newmarket for Cas, and how high would the will levels be to build it, if both clubs shared it

| Newmarket is 5.2 miles from the current home of both clubs, that is the only logical position for a groundshare. I'm sure it could be done on equal terms through the community trust too so that both clubs had equal benefit

| Have the club clarified where we will be playing next season.
88M say we have no tenancy at Belle Vue beyond January because Carter served notice to quit last January. So have the club arranged to play and operate from somewhere else have they begun clearing out the offices, made provision to resite the hospitality block etc etc
When I read Manny Hussain’s statement I still thought there was room for us to do a U-turn and stay at Belle Vue but there’seems to be zero chance of that now.
Once the deadline is passed I won’t be surprised if 88M padlock the doors and start charging the club for everyday that they still have buildings on their land.
Also, if their actions once securing the Super Bowl site is anything to go by they’ll have the demolition team in and start tearing things down straight away.

I've just nipped down to have a reccy at the stadium at junction 32 (i assume you mean M62?) but I couldn't find it. Could you be more specific about its location?

| Which ground is this we are sharing? The new Cas stadium has no more bricks than ours right now.

I assume your post is just a play on words and facts that you can dig up. I have no problem with that, a name is a name but Junction 32 is the junction off the M62.
However my original post is not meant to get at Wakefield or make Castleford in any way superior, hence me saying I don't want to upset anyone. From a Wakefield point of view it is very serious and time is running out. There should be no tit for tat, Your clubs future is at risk.

It is a valid point but I fear myself and many others wouldn't want to go watch Trinity play our home games in Castleford.
It would literally feel like we are the poor relatives and basically accepting hand outs from our nearest rivals.

| People have really short memories. When Newmarket was being considered Castleford were formally invited to share. They flatly refused and insisted they would not move one inch outside Castleford. I am sure if they had agreed then by now there would have been a joint stadium at Newmarket. The council would have then got behind the project. Also don't forget that when the PE started Castleford formally objected in writing !!!
Lets move this to the present time. Castleford now are getting their stadium for £1. None of the crap about trust,rent,leasing etc. They are basically getting a free gift.
The evil bunch running the council are taking the urine out of everyone when they expect us to believe a developer would give something for free without the council having backdoor involvement. This £1 has been forced on the developer by the council. A council in total control of Peter Box, a share holder at Castleford Tigers and a long life supporter.
If we shared any ground with them and Box was still in charge at the council. Then I can assure you all 100% that the deal and terms Wakefield Trinity would be offered would be the biggest pile of crap you would ever imagine.
