Are you serious??
Why the fook would Wakefield want to play their 'home' games at the Keepquiet stadium?
Durr...
Like we would play ours at the Don Valley Stadium or Castleford at Headingley?
The whole point is you support your team in your own town, otherwise what's the point?

I agree with you entirely, however it happens, Saints are currently in Widnes, Swinton have been playing out of Swinton for a lot of their history...
(However it must be 40 miles between Belle Vue and the Keepmoat which would make it seem more ridiculous)

Would it be too late to say I meant 40 minutes?

It's six miles from St Helens to Widnes, a temporary measure only.
Swinton play in and around Swinton, as near as they can given their circumstances, but not a vast distance away.
For those that trot out these theories ... it is purely that.
Wakefield or Cas or anyone else can't play at the Keepmoat without displacing the Dons or severely overloading the pitch... it's a none starter.
I know it's not you saying this, but there are some desperate Wakey and Cas fans about, who think somehow if they can't get what they want themselves stadium-wise, they'll have someone elses.
No chance.
Besides which, it would be a suicide move, a lot of their fans wouldn't bother coming.

| Last time I went to see the Dons play (v. Fev when I think Ellery was in charge) there was no segregation - a very good thing IMO. Is this still the case, or has it changed since Queens tried to start a punch up? Reason I ask is me dads a ST holder down there, and I'd like to watch the match with him.

There is no segregation ... why would you think that?
You're welcome to sit where you like, within reason.
We usually only sit on one side, the East Stand, so we are all lumped in together.
How many will you bring approximately?

No segregation ... enjoy the game with your Dad.

It's becoming more common, especially in the newer stadia. I don't like it, but it's like it or lump it. How many will we bring? Who knows - hopefully we'll have a couple of new signings by then so our play will improve. I would hope at least 600, possibly as many as 1500, but it depends on so many variables, times are hard and fuel is scandalously expensive.
I'm looking forward to it, and hope that both sets of fans get to see an entertaining and free-flowing game of rugby.

A lot more than you will and fwiw which ever SL team came you would lose anyway, which makes your comment a tad silly really, but hey ho

It's not about the result, as you should very well know, it's about a pay day at this stage.
Also you should know that he was not comparing the visiting numbers to our own, after all Wakefield are historically a lot more successful than the Dons, and for the time being are playing at a higher level so of course will have more supporters. He was of course trying to compare like for like that teams like Hull brought preseason...get over yourself superstar
