| So say (purely theoretical) a really rich man who loves rugby buys a patch of land in Normanton builds a really fancy 16k stadium and then says i want Wakefield Castleford and Featherstone to have it, for free no strings, one full stand all kitted out with offices and a club shop for Wakefield, another stand for Cas and one of the end stands for Featherstone.
Would you have it?

theoretically you'd have to be mad to turn it down, no matter who you support! Take the fourth end is for away fans lol

Yes, would the fans be up for that though or is the rivalry too strong?
You'd have 3 distinctive stands in the colours of the respective clubs and an away end ![Wink icon_wink.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| In a neutral location such as Gods Country (Normy) I don't think many would have reservations about ground sharing.n However to ask Wakey to play in Cas and Vice Versa, same with Fev then obviously its a big no no. would you want Wire playing at the Stobbart on a regular basis?

Yes because that is a very different scenario. Oddly I think it is what most non Cas/Wakey fans actually believe to be the case, but it isn't.

That was actually looked at on the Sharlston Colliery site but it never got off the ground its a non starter I am afraid

Unlike most other clubs with a shiny new stadium, we don't have and never have had either a wealthy sugar-daddy or a helpful council.
Most of our current plight is due to a combination of the above.

Going back to your original question, would you have considered sharing with Wire & Saints in Liverpool ????
Absolute non-starter.
The only way that a groundshare/merge could have taken place may have been right at the begining of SL and it was muted at the time.
However, neither Cas, Fev or ourselves were in favour.
