Don't you just wish for the good old days when the league you played in was based upon your on field performance. Just imagine if Blackpool had not been allowed into the Premiership because their ground is too small! God the RFL are a joke.

Quote ="West Country Eagle"Hi all. QUick question - I know Trinity have a an 'action group' with regards to their proposed stadium at Newmarket - is their one for the planned Cas stadium at Glasshoughton? I ask because I'm writing an article for Rugby League World magazine on the two proposed grounds, the impact on both clubs, how each is progressing, the WMC ultimatum etc, and would like to talk to a Cas supporters' group (or similar to Wakey's SWAG) for their take on all of this. If anyone knows the answer, or has any contacts you think would be useful to me, you can PM me or email: ma@mattanniss.com. Thanks in advance, Matt Anniss Rugby League World magazine =#BF4080PS - Good luck in the derby '" I do hope it's a balanced article

Yeah, that Peter Box has infiltrated Rugby League World now and spread the seed of his anti-Wakefield agenda to them.

Not forgetting the fact that the owner of RLW is a Wakefield fan of course, but don't let that get in the way of your conspiracy theories.

I find it amazing how these conspiracy theories stop Wakey fans looking objectively.

Looking at the Plans when they were on show at Stanley the ground would be more Methley than Stanley. Did you know it was that close. most people could still park in the same place and walk.

Location is irrelevant. It's the only the Wakey fans whinging about it to be honest. It should be the one which will a) get built quicker and b) has the better opportunities to get more businesses on board, sponsors, fans and which allows clubs to grow.

Newmarket.... a field and a set of crayon drawings

Glasshoughton............... groundworks done, outline planning, transport links, state of the art entertainment complex next door, architects working away furiously as we speak ...etc

It really is a no brainer but i would sooner not share with our challenged neighbours

outline planning achieved in 2007, why have you NOT started building your stadium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we really need to keep explaining this:

a) To attain most of the funding - it was hoped that Paloma, who owned the Hicksons site, would clear it up and start regeneration enabling us to sell The Jungle. Alas, they went bust.
b) Because we don't have designs/architects in place.

one things for certain, you wont be building one at newmarket

Wonder what they will all think of Mr Box if the Newmarket site gets the go ahead, (i must be the only Cas fan who thinks it probable,its not like the council hasn't helped them out before in the past is it)?

That was my initial feeling too.

A fair few of both sets of fans are assuming a merger is inevitable . A fair few of those people are saying that they will stop attending games if they ain't played at the site of their choice .
A lot are saying that one team will eventually cease to exist .
Surely binks' idea is the way forward . If there is going to be a merge then there is going to be a merge . Accept it , and support the new team(s) .
It will surely happen at some point anyway , and somebody is going to grieve over the loss of their team . Maybe not the current generation of supporters , but maybe the next .
I am sure many of you have followed your team for lots of years through good times and bad . Hold those memories and cherish them , but please consider the next generation of fans . Take the hurt now and spare your kids the heartbreak of going through what is looking inevitable . Kind of like letting a dog bite you than bite your child if you see what I am meaning .

Good luck for the future however it turns out . I hope both teams pull through .
I do rather feel that it is bullet-biting time for you though .

Ive got a better idea, why dont you merge with bradford, build a super dooper stadium at Odsal Top and leave Sheddingley to the RAH RAH's

Because the future of my club is not in doubt right now .
I was not trolling , was just adding my view . If it was my team then I would want some guarantee that they were going to survive . I think binks' idea could work .

Amazing how much different it seems when your team is involved...

What about HKR/hull fc......one with a nice shiny stadium the other with a stadium that is delapidated. Why arnt these 2 clubs having pressure put on them like cas/wakey are to share.
Cas/wakey are getting bullied if you ask me.

It is easier from the outside looking in . I went through it with Bramley . They now groundshare with Stanningley at a new ground (in Rodley) and it appears to be working for them .

This really is a no brainer for the council if they are getting involved financially................

The Stadium and the proposed developments with it at Glasshoughton, combined with the existing attractions are a license to print money for Wakefield Council...........................

It really is staggering that some fans cannot see what is as plain as day!!

Of course Newmarket would be nearer for me, but what a crap day out that would offer!!

Like a few Cas fans have said, I for one would watch Trinity whenever Cas weren't in town-I can see quite a few doing the same too.

The one thing that worries me is Trinity going to Barnsley, suicide for them as a club, but what would the councils reaction be? Would they still assist with Glasshoughton if Trinity weren't involved???

Peter Box is a Cas shareholder,no conflict of interest there.

Not that Cas fans ever feel victimised!
Homophobic chants .....It's a conspiracy.
Throwing bottles onto the playing area ....It's a conspiracy.
We're not the only ones who feel the Rugby league world's against us you know!

I never said Box didn't have a conflict of interest, but it's his job to do what's best for the region. Just because the best option for the region is a stadium at Glasshoughton rather than Newmarket, that doesn't make it a conspiracy against Wakey.

I'd have no doubts if Box wasn't involved in the decision making process (and isn't it meant to be an independent evaluation anyway?), the decision would go to Glasshoughton anyway. If it didn't there would be a clear conspiracy, because it's so obviously the best location, and I think all Wakey fans (if deep down past their rose-tinted glasses) know that.

Yep which is why Wakey fans are already saying it's a stitch up.

just wonder what all your reactions would be if the independant inquiry came out in favour of newmarket.

just suppose for a minute

would you go watch cas there

would you support it

would you want cas to remain at wheldon road

would you go it alone with GH

and when you have answered all these questions, just try and understand our feelings and reactions, because we are entilted to an opinion also

I wonder what map you are using. As the crow flies on Google Earth Newmarket is 3.75 miles from Bell Vue and 4.6 miles from the Jungle.
