Yes, I know that and don't know for whatever reason it hasn't been signed but still, if and when it is, we still have it.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no bun fight. I want both clubs to get their respective stadiums. I just wish people would stop trying to make assumptions or false claims about things.

Simple as, if it happens, it happens, if it don't, it don't.

What exactly is the 106 agreement? Something technical I assume!

It is the agreed amount of 'put back' which the developer agrees to give to local communities through either finance or by building something such as a road or a park - or a stadium!

It is a condition issued with planning which renders the PP null whilst it remains un-signed.

but some would think its time to bang some bloody heads together before all 3 clubs rot in the NL
As for the bloody so called Wakefield fans they wont watch the bloody team in Wakefield under 7000 V Wigan at half price

Don't know whether I am in minority or not, but to me the only way forward is for a merger - new identity, new strip, new name, nothing to link either club to its roots (and this from a supporter of 49years)

not many wigan fans there though also!

I agree. First and foremost I love the game. Ideally, I would like to see a successful Wakefield team competing with the best in Superleague. However, in reality there is a very real risk that if the staus quo is unchanged both Wakey and Cas could either disappear completely or have to eke out an existance in the lower league. If a new merged club located in the Wakefield District, without any ties to either club was created I would definately support it.

Without a ground it's pointless merging!!!
With a ground we don't need to merge, unless the rfl impose a new doctrine for the next franchise!
If we want any real long term success, there would be som sense in a merger.
if we don't, plod on as we are.
These are the decisions for the future, but I have no faith whatsoever in the people who will make them.

I'm with you.

Even with a new ground, which is far from certain (and on which the club and developers have been ominously silent in recent weeks) we'll still have 2 poorly funded clubs vying for the same supporters, talent and advertising revenue and as a result, providing the same mediocre product; that cycle needs to be broken - the harsh reality is that the Wakefield District cannot suppport two SL clubs.

A merged Wakefield District team with a brand new identity will attract a significant cash injection from the RFL and build a solid platform for the future, both on and off the field. Given the right marketing strategy, it could also generate significant interest from the public - 10k+ each week is not beyond the pale in my view, if it's sold properly.

Reality check - I don't think the current adminstration of the club is capable of delivering any of the above; as long as its run as a family affair with a colloquial, small-town, penny-pinching attitude, things will never change, new stadium or not.
