Was mooted 15 years ago - too late now IMO. The ship has sailed.

The ground issue would like everything have to be discussed by all relevant parties, but i cant see why all three clubs could not play out of either their present locations if affordable via some funding from the representative SL club.
I'm no accountant but if featherstone can manage on a thousand or two spectators and put out a side like they do, them i'm sure the other two clubs being in larger geographic areas, should be able to.
Both clubs should do what is best for the area and not cling on to being below average, this is not just an opportunity for now, but for the future and future generations of players and supporters.
I certainly aren't for a minute suggesting there aren't any obstacles, there are, but us waiting for you to go pop and likewise you waiting for us to, just so one team can feel all smug for a while doesn't do anything for anyone.

Creating a new SL club whilst retaining all three existing clubs in a lower league is a perfect exercise in shooting yourself in the foot; you're giving your customers a gilt-edged reason NOT to come watch you.

One super-club, one feeder club - in a generation, it would be a massive force in RL.

I should add however that it will never happen.

One Super Club and one Feeder Club would never get off the ground.
Who out of us, cas and fev would vote for the chop and who would vote to be the feeder cluc while watching the mortal enemy went on to success?
If it were to get off the ground all three clubs would need to keep an identity, this is hugely important.
Going forward it would have to be a representative side not a merged one IMO of course.

The Airelem Globetrotters.

Stadium name could be

The Cauldron (The Calder-on)

We're all in 'Wakefield' and the word that best sums up three things coming together is 'Trinity.'

I think you can see where I'm going with this...

Yep i can see where you are going , scrounging the other 2 clubs assets then administration in 2 years time. nowt changes over the moor

A bit like your sad little life Vinnie.

Seriously mate, your not.

Nah, your commercial manager will have robbed all the sponsors of their cash long before that. Thought we'd forgotten about that one didn't you - you silly man.

Seriously mate, we are.

wow look 3 of our favourite trolls all on 1 page ( Clue I dont mean Bren, Towns or Yed ) derailing a good thread

Cheers peeeps

Have you paid your debts off yet ????....................... thought not

It wont be long now before your buckets are back out on Westgate will it

A good thread ? about merging ?
Have you noticed its only the polecats that want a merger, must be running out of their millions again

What debts?

This should be fun, going to tell us about what happened?

It's not something I've heard before...and by commercial manager do you mean former CM Craig Poskitt or current Nick Fozzard?

/sigh

Think he might be thinking of an ex Commercial Director rather than manager.

Forrad i asked you what Debts if you are posting please back up and don't just generalise.

A good thread? Well it's your thread so the least you can do is contribute, how do you think things can be improved at cas?
You have plenty to say usually let's here your big plan, I assume you must have some quality ideas, unless your just a blowhard? All mouth and no action? Or just not enough intelligence to get your views across?
Come on give me something to work with!!!
A merger? I never mentioned a merger, mainly because there are plenty of people like you who could not stomach it, that's why I suggested that maintaining the three clubs was so important.
It's the only way that any decent number of supporters would ever back any kind of representative team.
Things are so bad at your club you've felt moved enough to start a thread, IMO things aren't going to improve much, we are all contributing to your thread in a mainly positive way bar you, what does that make you look like?
You have to be some kind of super idiot to derail your own thread!!!!!
So come on, let's here what you've got, how can the fortunes of your club be improved? I'm sure we're all waiting with baited breath to here what you've got!!

Ahem , the thread was started by scabbycat ..................................... do you feel as stupid as your post looks ?

Oh the ramblings of the scrounging classes

My apologies, it's hard to tell the quality of your posts apart!!

You were actually correct in the first place KC.
Its one of forrards other guises, hence your confusion.
