| The problem with a ground share (and before I'm shot down I know that the 2 Milan football clubs manage quite well), is that for many, it would be seen as a first step to a merger.
If there was an undertaking from the RFL that the "m" word was removed from their own agenda, then maybe this could be a possibility.
As long as the ground was in Wakefield

The reason the Milan ground share is successful is that they are both successful clubs in their own right and part of the institution of Italian football.
Neither us nor Cas can boast any such kind of standing in SL, both clubs could be viewed as only achieving 50% or thereabouts of what they are potentially capable of, so why not merge us??
With that thought and the RFLs recent history of shoehorning clubs into SL for expansion purposes, a ground share would mean the end for Cas IMO, as the name of Wakefield would (again IMO!!) if any common sense were to be applied, have to remain the focus of SL RL in the city of Wakefield.

| The Milan analogy annoys me. That is one example, there are hundreds more to counter it. Why don't Liverpool & Everton share? Man Utd & Man City, Arsenal & Tottenham? Villa & Birmingham? Real & Athletico Madrid? And many, many more. Mainly because they hate each other and want a seperate indentity. Forget sharing it will not work for either side.

They also represent the same city, which helps matters no end. Wakefield and Cas are two different places.

Hull FC and Hull KR! They have a fantastic stadium they could share - but they don't because it is not culturally acceptable!

| Our identities as individual clubs is not as strong i would say as some of the examples given, it is up to us to push our clubs, a real marketing push should be given to the derby games, and hopefully if we are both filling our new stadia for derby games this will help develop the identities further.
A full house at WR or BV goes un-noticed by many, when compared to some other attendances in SL these days.

Exactly and that is why it will never happen. I for one would never watch a Wakefield side who played out of Glasshoughton and I doubt i'm the only one that thinks that way. And i'm sure many Cas fans feel the same about Newmarket. And as such it just isn't financially viable for either club and so there is where the argument ends.
The argument now is whether the people arguing against Newmarket happening and the people who will ultimately make the decision want the blood on their hands of professional sport in Wakefield.

Absolutely spot on - and the reason I argue for caution in terms of dismissing RW's intervention in the PI; this decision is absolutely massive not just for WTW, but for RL at all levels in the Wakefield District.

I aren't trolling - it's a serious question.
Is our hate for one another going to get us both thrown out of SL just because we can't agree on sharing a Stadium? Come another 2 years will it really matter? Because let's be honest, there's a very good chance niether of us are going to have a Stadium and will most probably get thrown out in favour of Northampton or/and some French club.

What stadium are you suggesting 'we' share?
As it stands, both clubs are doing everything in their power to get their own new stadia and are working with partners to deliver what they want.
If WTW suddenly decide they want to share at GH, YorkCourt will not give ten million quid to Cas. If CT suddenly decide they want to share at NM, Opus will not give ten million quid to WTW. Moreover, neither of those fantasy scenarios will do anything to unstick either the PI for NM or the need for a buyer at WR.
Your argument is predicated on a false assumption that deciding to share at one location will solve all the problems of both clubs; it won't and in fact, in the long run, would cause more problems than it resolved.

i can understand you not wanting to share i wouldnt want to share with hull but this seems to be dragging on neither you or cas seem to be any closer to getting a new stadium i think you will be forced to share in the end to keep in SL which would be a shame because i think you lose your identity when 2 teams share a stadium
