| Quote: Sandal Cat "Do you honestly think the RFL would give franchises to 2 clubs playing out of 1 stadium in Castleford. It would more than likely give the franchise to Castleford leaving us to play NL rugby as Wakefield in a stadium in Castleford which means certain death.
All the feasibility study was intended to do was to get both clubs to pool funding and resources at Glasshoughton which would have helped Castleford and not us. Fortunately our BOD did not fall for that one.'"
I think it would have actually made it more difficult for the RFL to single out one club, particularly if they were going to claim the decision was based on stadium facilities which would be identical.
And it would have been better than being in the current situation. Your BoD are a bunch of imbiciles for expecting to get the go-ahead to build on 100% green-belt land without being called in!
I certainly don't want to come across as gloating as I would love both clubs to do well (as tempting as it is after the years of trolling on the Castleford Forum over the past year or so). |

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"
"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39793.jpg |

But they fell for Yorkcourt's (as it may turn out to be) "Pie in the Sky"
If I was a Wakefield fan it would be the BOD I would be blaming for this potential disaster. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Personally I think there is no way 2 clubs can expect to play in SL in the same stadia , the RFL would instantly be wanting one club to become a feeder for the other

I remember an article in a programme from 15-20 years ago where a club director wrote how Belle Vue needed massive improvements or a whole new ground built. We knew then, we know now. You can guess which director that was.
All in all, you can never trust the Tories. I'll stop myself going further with what I'd do to his next curry!'"
It wrankled that that fat mess of a man was in control of our destiny and now he's shafted us his huge slug of a frame seems even larger |

2 choices - agree to share at Glasshoughton and give Castleford the franchise on a plate leaving us in NL or gamble on Newmarket which could of come off or leave us in NL. Easy choice to me.
I'm waiting for the official announcement that you have secured all the funding (I guess around £14m) to build Glasshoughton and not just land on which you can borrow £2m against to enable you to submit a detailed planning application.
We are in the clag but I'm not sure you are home and dry yet. It may be over for us but I hope for you're sake your not being led down the garden path also. |

I don't think we have the funding to build the stadium, although the deals with Metrel and Probiz do have stadium naming rights included, but I wouldn't expect this to be into the millions.
We are nowhere near home and dry. We have been led up the garden path before, and I think we are being now. It's just that your garden path has led to the edge of the cliff already, whereas ours seems to be a bit longer. |

I'm sure we have not got the full funding at the moment, and it could all go wrong for us but I all I can do is hope we are safe.
Unfortunately for you it's been a gamble your BOD took (egged on by others who had other motives) and it looks like they have lost. |

The clubs statement today should have mentioned plan B to keep things positive.

Did anyone expect anything else, as a Trin fan we need to keep on! We don’t do anything the easy way we never have so why start moaning now you’re only providing the smiles for those that wish to gloat.
At present we are still in SL we still have a ground and a team to take to the pitch come the new season, I did in the end buy a season ticket along with shirts for the family and will do so as long as its Wakefield Trinity Wildcats !!!!!(Dreadnoughts ) as I have done for a lot of years.
Thanks to those supporters from other clubs who wish us well and mean the best cheers.
As for my opinion on why we got to this point well were to start.
Come on the Trin ![]()
Good post!
Does it matter who's to blame for this situation? The fact is we're in this mess and, as supporters, our support is more important han ever. Next season is our last at BV and I'll be at as many games as possible to see the old place off in style - I hope it's packed every match. And wouldn't it be great if we turned over a few of the of the teams whose smug / arrogant / downright pig 5h1t thick supporters have given us grief over the last 12 months. Wouldn't it be even better if we finished in a reasonable position - above some of the so called superior teams in SL. And then, wherever we're playing in 2012, and in which ever league, surely we're all still Wakefield Trinity supporters. We need to get behind the team not desert it just because (if) we're not in SL. I'm staying strong, staying positive and keeping on supporting my team, the team my dad supported, the team my great granddad played for. Come on the Trin!!
