The sentiment of your post is right just not the practicality IMO.
Name of the stadium? it does matter, because 1) cas are reluctant to share 2) cas are reluctant to be classed as wakefield 3) cas would be less reluctant to share a ground called wakefield whatever stadium, which as it is a stadium for the district of wakefield it should be called.
Will the clubs benefit? no some may not if their supporters are reluctant to go.
Merger? personally i think there is a way round this, however to the people that can only see black and white; two dominant west yorkshire clubs with strong identities playing out of the same ground, little chance of a merger between the two, but does that sound like us and cas?

The stadium name should be The Wakefield Community Stadium as that's what it is, it shouldn't be called Newmarket Stadium just because Cas don't want "Wakefield" in the name!

All very hypothetical of course because there is no stadium at Newmarket and when/if there is, it won't be any time soon.

Now consider what view you would take if a "polecat troll" had come on the cas forum and suggested that about GH.
Most things on a forum are hypothetical, you should know that by now.
Don't turn a decent thread into one that rapidly heads down hill because you receive a load of verbal.
I though you were better than that.

Wakefield does indeed have the population to sustain a big club.
2001 census Wakefield urban area 76 666
Wigan urban area 81 203
Not much difference there.
Wakefield City 315 172
Wigan Met. 305 600
Again little difference.

The fact that Warrington are now a big club says all you need to know about the term "big club" and what it takes to be one. Pre Halliwell Jones, the similarities between Warrington and Wakefield at that time were endless.

Do the wakefield figures include ponte, cas, fetherstone etc?

The 315K figure will.

I was simply pointing out that you are talking about Cas Tigers moving to a stadium that hasn't even been built yet let alone talking about naming rights and what the stadium should be called.

Ferres will lay it on the line that Cas are struggling, he'll ask the Fans to dig in and take up the season ticket offer, he'll offer them a view of what may happen if they don't.

IMO he'll not be telling them anything they don't already know.

Most clubs are treading a fine line at the moment, doubt it will be any worse than that, no doubt that'll not please a few on here.

I think you have probably got that about right El Ray. That is what I am also expecting tommorrow night.

You might be surprised El Rel.
Although we may not invite our friends from Cas out for Christmas dinner, we do like the love-hate relationship and we would certainly miss them if they weren't there.
SL without Cas would be a poorer place.
I'm sure there would be some gloating if something treminal happened but, that would quickly wear off and then we'd miss them (much as Celtic will be missing Rangers.
The derby games are the first fixtures most of us look for and although there was the hassles of good Friday, generally its good natured rivallry.
