The comment about Carter and Gill is true and a great shame.
The previous chairmen made the share much more difficult when although I don't want it, is very logical.

The trouble with all the above is that it is a well thought out and grown up possible solution.
Unfortunately we have at the head of Wakefield Council a bullying unprofessional baby who has been left in his post for far too long. We don't have a prayer of sorting out a practical solution while ever his own personal agenda isn't called out for what it is by weak councillors that won't blow the whistle.
The sad thing is both Wakefield Trinity & Castleford Tigers will be the losers in all this just at a time when we have the foundations of a mutual respect at the helms of both clubs and performances on the field to make both sets of fans proud.

I know it's a forum, blah, blah blah, but please put this to bed and let's concentrate on the the troubles ahead? We've bigger fish to fry than unrealistic scenarios.

Well that put paid to that JINJER, bigger fish to fry?
Don't know what that means but to me it is just a typical statement from an individual who thinks they speak for all.
My comments are only born out of thinking that the club maybe digging to deep, chasing this when time is running out and as I said maybe the RFL will be the next to stick the knife in.
There is a lot of sense talked about a ground share and I had not thought of the two developers working together.
The main thing is that both clubs survive. At the minute Castleford do not seem to have any issues, things are ticking along along, maybe slowly but moving.
To end my comment. I say you fry your big fish (whatever that is) but don't play the almighty and speak for all your supporters on this forum, some do talk rational.
All the best with your Agenda.

Are you spoiling for a fight?
What is my agenda that you accuse me of?
The Big fish for me is the whole sorry saga to be sorted, sharing will never happen, I'm speaking for myself here, all our involvement needs to be directed at a way forward for our club, not move in with you and have it lorded over us.
As for speaking for all, complete bollox, no one on here will claim I speak for all, it's not my way.

My bigger fish to fry.

The ground sorted, be it in court or out.
Survival of the club.
Are we gonna be relocated?
Could we be forcibly relegated?
How are the club selling the season passes on the back of the ground problems.
How are we gonna negotiate where we play next season given 88M's stance on this subject.
Much bigger fish than some pie in the sky idea that we should move to Glasshoughton. HTH

No spoiling for a fight. If I ever post on a site it is about RL. Wakefield is my home town but I have always supported Cas. To many consider one club to be bigger than the other so your statement "move in with you" is tosh.
Carry on the fight i agree because the whole saga stinks of corruption somewhere. All I am saying, and I'm sure MC thinks the same as do many of the season ticket holders, think about next season as well as the future.
Oh, I like anyone can toddle onto any site and raise a point. I am not stirring things up but obviously there are many that do.

So, if your bigger fish fry up fails to provide a meal, what then?
We can't lose sight of other options, in fact we must actively seek them out whatever they may be because court action will be a Pyrrhic Victory and bring us no closer to having a ground to play in.
If you read my message again you will see that I an advocating a joint venture at Newmarket.

There are plenty of big football clubs who share grounds, Milan and Inter, Roma and Lazio, Bayern and 1860 munich, so it can work very well and it certainly has a lot of advantages

Whilst I appreciate our situation is on a much smaller scale than the 100,000 seater in Rome for example, it is certainly a possibility but the heads of terms would become rather complicated. It would need a trust to run it and divide the profits/ costs equally between the clubs. The end closest to Wakefield is Trinitys end. then end closest to castleford is the tigers end.

When I mentioned bigger fish I was talking of the thread in general, not having a go at you.

A long lasting ground share will only work if the ownership/rent/income is split equally, and the ground is roughly equal distance between both clubs. If either of these can't be reached or made possible then it is the death sentence of the club with the poorer deal, and likely a more protracted death sentence of the club who had the better deal unless they can make up the difference lost by the unequal partner going under

So are you seriously suggesting that Castleford would give up a ground in Castleford that has cost them £1 with no strings attached. Move out of town and share with us ?

Rather than waste your time on here trying to convince people, I would suggest you suddenly appear on the nutjob forum in the same way you have suddenly appeared on here. Then offer your brilliant suggestion to them . If they respond favourably your argument could gain credibility.

It's true they get along really well by all accounts & he's asaid it a few times on Radio Yorkshire RL show. If both of them were in charge 10 years ago, we'd have got together and had a stadium built around the Normanton area that benefitted both clubs years ago. Instead around that time we had that old CEO up at Cas Richard Wright, writing a formal objection against Newmarket.

Is it me or does it seem like box has an unhealthy liking for Cas (the town), to the detriment of Wakefield (the city).
Never really considered it before, I mean I'm all for sharing the wealth around the district generally but he just seems so Cas centric, its difficult to ignore.
I was reading somewhere an interview he gave not long back, in which he was describing his methology, he went on to mention various small towns and villages he hoped to invest efforts for regeneration.
Ain't nothing wrong with that, we've lost a lot of industry in the area generally, what with the pits going and one thing and another but this methodology mentions nowhere west of Fev, it was all Hemsworth, Ponty, Cas, Knottingley.....which seemed odd, I mean if you're sharing it out, there is nowhere deserving of investment west of Fev or something ?
It seems odd to me because, well I don't really know that side of Wakey, I'm from the North/West side, I don't go there for anything ever, I'm more likely to go to Leeds, I have no links at all with the West/South Cas/Ponte region.
Not that I don't think it shouldn't get its share its just that it doesn't seem like Wakey itself and the NW is getting a fair crack of the whip these days.
Course, the current stadia debacle just adds further credence to that assumption.

An interesting box snip

“You have to make sure that the rivalries we have always had with our distinct communities doesn’t undermine what we have to do and doesn’t become a weakness rather than a strength."

I dunno if that is a word to the communities that aren't sharing the Cas centric bias, or a simple say one thing and do the complete opposite politician special.

Spot on . Totally biased towards the east of the city.

Box and his cronies are all from that neck of the woods...that's how he built his powerbase - by promoting them into prominent positions which were going to be financially beneficial to them in the way of extra income from sitting on influential committees and beneficial to him as they will blindly follow his edict and vote through all of his mantras and obviously not stand up to him if they wish to remain on said financially beneficial committees.
Since the weasel came to power, the western side of the district has been shafted time after time
