Would not support a merged team, not interested. Wakefield through and through til I die.

Definately a No to any merger! Watched Wakey since the sixties so it's Wakefield Trinity.... or nothing for me.

The ONLY reason a merger should be considered is if the RFL say that neither Wakey or Cas will be awarded a franchise in their own right, but that a merged club would get a franchise - ideally guaranteed for at least 2 franchise periods.

On the assumption that Messrs Richardson & Wright can make the necessary agreements (clearly with additional financial input from the RFL as we saw with Hudds/Sheff & Hull/G'head) I think that based on where both clubs have progressed with planning & financing the new stadia, a merged club would be based on Newmarket Lane.

I don't particularly like the idea of a merger, but I think it is right that the Wakefield district retains a presence in SL and a merger may be the price both Wakey & Cas need to pay to ensure it. If a merged team was formed, I would expect that it is named Wakefield Tigers. From a nostalgic perspective I'd like to see the word "Trinity" retained but I wouldn't expect it to be.

A merged club should find it easier to compete financially with the likes of Leeds, Wigan, Saints & Warrington - the biggest question is whether the fans of both Wakey & Cas would get behind the new team.

yep me too

no merger ever

forget it and move on

i am wakefield til i die anyone?

Well mutts its seems you have you're answer, or at least part of it.

That's a big no from me as well. Think some Traditions in rugby should be left alone. Wakefield have a bigger history than some of the other clubs. It may not mean something to other fans (Neutral or not) but sure means something to me.

Founder members of the Northern Union. Doesn't guarantee you a place at the top table, but should count for something when your very existence is being questioned.

I'd support a merged team in principle, if the merger itself was handled correctly and the resultant 'super-club' was properly managed. Rather that, than watch two lame ducks limping along for another few years before dieing a slow death.

I've gone for top one, if we merge might as well go the whole hog.

I'd support a merged club that played in Wakefield. I'd also support a merged club that played in Normanton - the fairest location for all 3 clubs, and my location of preference. I wouldn't give a monkey's about any merged club that played anywhere else. I'd rather support Catalans or the Welsh.

Three separate clubs, three separate identities, three separate collectives of traditional values. No. None of the above should happen. Not only would we miss the rivalry but the whole Team Wakefield District would seem fake and insincere. That would be like asking Batley and Dewsbury to link up with Huddersfield to create Team Kirklees or worse still, asking FC and KR to join forces to create Team Unified Hull or something.

Always been dead set against merges and why should I change my mind on the subject now.

Team Kirklees and Sheffield, please

Sorry, I stand corrected. Maybe the Hull unified team should have a bit of a Gateshead flavour in there.

I hate thread like this, merger is not an option either for us, cas or fev I would rather the winner come from one of the three rather than a combination of any

I agree with RDM on this one. Merger should be option Z. Only taken when all other routes have been exhausted and imposed by sky/superleague/rfl.
I think at the moment we have still have a good chance of a franchise in our own right. Assuming some progress is made stadium wise in the next 4 months.
I was actually pro merger last time around but clearly the will wasn't there from other clubs. If it had gone ahead where would that team be now?
For me that opportunity has gone and we should push on for a stand alone franchise.
