I doubt there is any truth in it, however it would probably be one of the most rational mergers in history. Dewsbury have a Stadium that is virtually in Wakefield and is ripe for further development - but will never have the supporter base or financial clout to make it in SL. Wakefield have a big fan base and better long term finance and playing strength. IMO it could work if done right.

Wakefield rams playing in dewsbury .

Can't see this but if true - Wakefield Rams playing in the Championship out of Owl Lane - makes my decision on watching Rugby League an easy one.

Count me out of that one then!

Wakefield Stags?

Can't see that being true.

load of old nonsense.

all the negativity, and downright stupidity, that i've seen on this board wouldn't be half as daft had we won a couple of games in the last month.

to be honest it's hard not to be down given:

cas are seeing candidates for their coaching position
salford are signing players and sponsorship deals
harlequins and crusaders are signing players
our juniors/young talent are jumping ship

negative stance; it all points to the cat being out of the bag imo.
positive stance; people are getting ahead of themselves

I was born in Dewsbury and the Stadium location is very neutral. Count me in AG!

if we're in the championship we should stay at bv and push on for newmarket. if we move to dewsbury we'll lose more supporters still. i'm not giving the merger a microsecond of thought as it's silly, but we could probably rent the ground at dewsbury for less than we're paying for bv, but i think we'd be out of pocket given reduced attendances.

Not a merger, but a stadium share in the championship for a couple of years.

Nah not for me. It's a merger or nothing. If we leave BV we lose it and become nomadic and that will definitely be the end and a sad end at that.

I'd rather stay at BV in the championship as well but the talk of the town is that the rent this year was 100K and will rise if/when another lease is signed to a level not affordable on championship income. So a share of the Teabag stadium is on the cards should, as is expected, we get demoted.

If we do drop down and can't buy BV then dewsbuy for a season until NM is ready will do for me. It's just about in Wakefield anyway but we've got to keep pushing for NM

old chesnut this one
