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

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.

Playing in to widnes's hands big style we both are, so cas and wakey bye bye widnes and toulouse up is my prediction

Yes it is Stevos Baby and he is very passionate about it.

promotion and relegation still exists in the twisted world of Superleague.

As it stands eithe 8th or 9th to be relegated and 6th in the championship to be promoted.

abasofeckinlutely lunacy

last one out please turn off the light

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.

They cannot promote Toulouse unless they make the Grand Final.

....and up until that point you had posted several quite rational posts!

under the expansion clause they can do what the hell they like, celtic will tick hardly any boxes. london too, can you see them getting the boot?? Nope!

your assuming a level playing field here, it isnt.

I don't believe that fans of both teams would walk away in sufficient numbers to destabilise the new entity; some would, but they'd be replaced.

Otherwise, spot on; I concur with everything you've said.

Any true fan will say no to a merger no plastic fans please !!! And I dont understand Wakefield don't deserve help from the council why not LEIGH, HULL, SHEFFIELD all councils have helped thats why they are head and shoulders above Wakefield sporting wise and to be frank its pathetic how he may drive everything good sporting wise away from the City of WAKEFIELD how Mr Box is still in the job is beyond me. As someone who works in the Health industry I find his work appauling when it comes to sport. Wakefield Wildcats keeps this city on the map and if he decides Glasshoughton then we should go mad. I will still support us because Im wakey through and through and its not our fault its the councils why we haven't got a new ground and the fact its taken 25+ years.

I couldn't bring myself to support "Wakefield Tigers" or whatever. It's Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. WAKEFIELD. Not Glasshoughton I am fed up with years of lies and sh*t from that pathetic excuse for a council and I can't believe anything proposed for Wakefield/Newmarket now. It sounds selfish and not very good sportsmanship but I would have to give up on the sport, even after watching Trinity play for many years. The RFL don't give a damn about the game itself, they just want clones of Wigan and Wire, big money clubs with fancy stadia.

From what I have seen of all your other posts that would be Mental Health - Right?
