Quote: BIGAL1 "Would it really though after all these years of chairman, who at times have held both clubs together but have also held them back. It seems to me we CAS and WAKEY have failed to move with the times for whatever reason and someone will now pay the price, lets be fair its not long till next franchise applications and we are scurring about at the last minute looking for a bolt hole.

Just who's fault is it i ask.'"


in order
1. the 2 clubs for believing they were big enough and strong enough financialy to justify 2 new stadiums.
2. frankly all the rest of us for letting them carry on with this folly and blindly believing it was viable without WMDC
3. SL for the criteria in the first place
4. Danny Brough, because everything is his fault

Quote: pyeman " i would have a hatred towards any merged club as it would be what killed off the club i love.'"


That's your perogotive, however IMHO it's the RFL's obsession with new stadia, the poor management of both clubs and parochial attitude of many fans which would have more to do with the demise off any club.

Sorry if this sounds elitest but it's SL or bust for me. I know it's not "keeping it real" but I just couldn't get myself up for Dewsbury vs Keighly (no disrespect to those teams). Just want to watch RL at it's highest standard (no wisecracks about why I watch WTW then please).

There will be no SL future for either Cas or Wakefield, not a chance.

The bull we have been fed is starting to give me serious reflux, and can only now be cured with some honest reflection of the situation, and a unblinkered look to the future.

I dont believe a thing RW tells us, and think SWAG just give us no information of any substance, and imho its all straw clutching, and under the current economical crisis, and its still getting worse remember there is not that amount of money around to fund, support two grounds.

I want to continue watching RL at the top level, and after 30 plus years of yearly upset, worry, dissapointment, and let down if a merged team is the answer than that gets my vote.

St George the single greatest club side in the World up there with Wigan merged, then good enough for them, then good enough for us !

The merged team would attract all the top quality players from the area as kids, would have a much bigger pull for sponsorship, and be much more attractive to a new owner.

Cas and Wakefield need a ground to continue, the RFL dont care about heritage, and have proved that of late with their attitude to NL sides running scholorship teams, we need a ground, and unless we are together we wont get one.

I WILL watch a merged team in either Cas or Wakefield, I WILL NOTwatch a Wakefield team in Cas.

I do agree with that, so why have a heritage at huddersfield.

I dont know if I am correct, but is that not owned by Stevo ? I am sure it is.

I get that grounds need to be up to a certain standard for health and safety, but surely if the ground isn't safe enough for SL it's not safe enough for the other leagues? Are fans in the NL not as important so it doesn't matter if they aren't safe?

No I think that fans of none SL clubs are allowed an instant death due to stadium saftey, we on the other have to endure a slow painful death whilst we are in SL icon_wink.gif

No, I think it's more a case of that if you want to be in the elite, you have to have elite facilities. All those clubs in the lower leagues are going to have to find ways of investing money into their stadiums or finding new facilities if they want to have a shot at SL.

But where does the money come from if you never get chance to play the big clubs? It's hard enough when you do!

Precisely. But I think that's why the RFL will keep a policy of changing the elite around, so as to keep things fresh.

If Cas or Wakefield go down I'd expect the "lure" of playing a big team will be of massive financial benefit to the clubs.

Steady, if its a merged team, then there is no future, the RFL will have ripped the heart out of Cas, even Thatcher couldnt do that.
Sorry mate but you should be ashamed just entertaining the vile idea

I love RL and Trinity, but if the club goes - it's Wakefield FC at College Grove for me, and the odd match at Fev or Dewsbury.
