Whilst it will lead to annoyance and frustration for some I think now is the time to have this debate sensibly. The economics don't add up for us as gates continue to fall and our playing resources get weaker and weaker.
All that can ever be put forward is the 'build it-they will come' strategy associated with a new stadium. That stadium remains a long way away, and time is not on our side. If the Wakefield district wants a professional RL side the best prospect may be a merger. Perhaps we all need to come to terms with that???

From Cas its about 2. Not that you have any hidden motive for wanting it in Cas eh?

I don't think quibbles about distance should be the main driver; surely the critical thing here is which site, of Newmarket and Glasshoughton, can the developer get diggers on to the quickest? Thanks to the heel-dragging of both clubs on the stadia issue, speed is very much of the essence.

I meant that in the nicest possible way; I'm quite hoary myself tbh and like you, would much prefer to see Wakey reliving past glories and smashing all comers, including Cas, in front of capacity crowds at a revitalised Belle Vue.

There is absolutely no way any of that will happen though, as you've said, so I'd rather avoid further years of depressing mediocrity and just get on with a new venture; hoary as we may be, we'll get over it.
