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.

| 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!

| Quote: newwildcat "Think we are heading back to "my imaginary stadium is better than yours" debate. Addressing the OP's points - I believe this is the beginning of the end for one or perhaps both clubs. In the medium term I belive the only way we can guarantee a SL presence in the region is via merger. Ideally, I'd love to be watching WTW in a new shiny stadium in NM. However, I am a realist and I think the chances of that are slim to none. I know many of you traditionalists who have no doubt invested much more in WTW than I have will balk at the idea of supporting a merged team, but surely love of the game comes first. If it was a choice between merged team or no RL or worse watching the Rhinos I would watch the merged team without hesitation. I think many others would make the same choice and it may even bring new fans in to the game. As KK said the risk is that both sets of supporters would walk away, but with some financial incentive from the RL the storm could be weathered. I think supporters need to start seeing the bigger picture here and park up their egos and pride (hard as that is). In my view the best chance of preserving SL rugby in the Wakefield District is via merger and if it worked with the combined strength of the new club (both financially and in terms of the players which come up in the area) we could actually be competing with the big boys rather than limping along and continually being at the mercy of the RFL.
I know this goes against many fans principles but to me it's the only way. Having said that with the mindsets of both BoDs and the majority of fans, in practice I don't think it would ever get the stakeholder support it would need, so I fear the worst. We can't even agree to share a stadium FFS. Should have got our heads together years ago, but I'm going off at a tangent....'"
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.
