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

The 315K figure will.

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.'" 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. It you want to see thread head down hill take a look at this:- viewtopic.php?f=16&t=538578&tsmp=1349698411&start=10

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.

C,MON, lets sell BV, WR, & Post office RD and all move in together in a purpose built stadium at newmarket, which will have to be re- designed to take the extra supporters say 20,000 plus, and all the money coming in from ground sales and extra corporate will enable us to buy the best players in the world and be the best team in superleague.
Just a minute let me put my tin hat on before all the bullets arrive.

With the benefit of hindsight, that may have been the thing to do before the inception of SL but, however many years later, its probably not realistic.
Many years ago there was talk of having a team called "Calder", based around Normanton and if we could turn the clock back, knowing what we all know now
then, maybe it could have been a runner.
However, with the clubs becoming more entrenched in doing their own thing, the long term possibly means that there will be only one SL club in the area and
it seems to have become a battle of wills as to which of the three clubs it will be.
Of course an unbiased opinion says it should be Wakefield (being a city with larger population and more potential etc) but, who knows ?

And that has to support three teams not one, that was what I was getting at.

If we take away the Cas, Featherstone , Pontefract, Hemsworth and Knottingley areas off the total it's around 220k or so.

Sill a fairly sizeable market. I've always thought we ought to have the potential to be a big club; we are a medium sized city, even with the Cas/ Featherstone population factored out of WMDC

Most of the extreme 2mill in debt 600k tax bill doom & gloom cas rumours are coming from non cas fans and with cas been such a small town if admin was around the corner it would be out by now + they wouldn't be holding a fans forum to say thanks for coming we're going into admin. Regarding Newmarket, selling WR clearing debts and moving in Newmarket spending full cap might become attractive to some of their fans.

Biggest City in England without pro football team 100s of businesses in the city we have the potential to be a big club like we once were

For now...

Another S Parkin rumour? His name just
won't go away
