lets face it if Muse were crap live it would not matter where they played, cos no one would turn up, even if they owned the Muse stadium.

Weird thing is in all this is no one is mentioning how close the new leeds arena is, which will hold as many, is indoors, and completely starve the ground of any non-sport revenue streams.

yes i know mate and i understand your no at this time but hers the thing a year ago it was a definite no ... now we have a no at this time. fact is Al if it does happen i cannot see me turning my back on the greatest sport in the world and i struggle to imagine that supporters like yourself could . So what do we do ? Go to fev dewsbury (maybe) or batley (no chance as i always shout for the rams) or just swallow it and get on with it?

No comment mate

only problem there is that there is NO money for the development whereas at jcn 30 there is..the ground there will be built.. as mentioned earlier i would go for wakefield trinity tigers..how would we grow in the future with a team who could be a success ? both teams have struggled for too long.. i am now swaying towards the M because i am too long sick of the struggle! maybe the cas name could be our NL1 feeder?

Would we be talking of a merger a month ago,i doubt it.To my understanding if we get the planning permission the stadium is a done deal and that would secure our future.
To be honest i think it would be a case of one win and the team would be back on target,because it looks like a confidence boost is all that it would take to get them back on track, and all this doom and gloom can stop,because we are still in a decent position in the league and there are not too many teams playing good,consistent rugby at the moment.
As far as a merger if the ground was in Cas with Cas in the name then it's a no.

I doubt we would but things change quickly in RL.

shifty..it's the future we need to look forward to and the future is the kids..and the kids want to support a team with a chance..if there was an M then within 5 years all would be forgotten..we would have 10k at every home game and a team near the top than two at the bottom! imho and looking at reality to me it seems the only way to go for the future! and before i get slated i have been a wakefield supporter since 1976!

i know of one poster whos thought this would happen as soon as the franchise system came out.

no knee jerk here

crowt123 it is easier to move funds than it is to get planning permission,

There is money for the cas project but form what i am led to believe there is a shortfall, therefore a ground share would be exactly that share the cost! i don't want to do this as i am sure the majority of wakey fans don't but this may be the only solution for both clubs

Well said, its the only way we can compete with the big boys... the game has changed so much even in my short(ish) time watching at BV.

It will have to be at Newmarket though, can't see me going to j31 every week.

Euroports not a bad day out

this should of been done when the game went full time, the country had the money at the time to pile into the game. it should of been built in normy and shared by all 3 clubs. the game has changed cas,wakey and fev won stuff with largely local lads who worked part time at the pits and various other jobs. playing was part time so they didnt have to relocate. now if either team has any good players they have to be sold for the clubs to continue,we exist and thats all we do, wel never win anything again baring a miracle. no club can make enough money,the product is poor and crowds are poor.this area cannot sutain 3 teams,at least the locallads could stay with a large local team instead of being cherry picked. everyone knows i dont like cas but feel that this maybe the only way forward and survive.
