Fair point, but how many people from Cas and Wakefield support Leeds Utd or even Leeds Rhinos?

| Calder whatever sounds terrible IF this ever came off.
Trinity Tigers is no good if both teams would still exist as feeder clubs to the new club.
West Riding ......?. Miners in the name is abit 80s, i know that rhubarb growing is big in the area but we can't use that
Done the cat nicknames maybe a bird of pray name, Harriers?, Falcons? etc

| Always makes me smile when merger talk nowadays comes around no one mentions Rovers just Cas and Wakey, it also makes me happy. What people are failing to realise although it will change very shortly is Rovers are going to make a jaw dropping announcement about ground / land developments in the next few weeks. Bulldozers will be moving into post office road before the seasons end. There will be a stadium getting started on in the area but it will be Featherstones and funded by Featherstone

I wish you lot all the best with that. If Cas & Wakey were to be booted out for Fev, then fair enough. However, why would the RFL pick Fev, over Halifax Widnes Barrow Leigh or Tolouse? (as for the merger talk, I agree with what you've been putting Rovers.)

Good luck with that. If all three clubs can move into a new ground in the near future I think everyone will be happy with that.

I never said the RFL would pick us over anyone, and we all know that whatever we do they will not select us, however Rovers have stated they are going to be the best club they can be, regardless of super league if it comes along fair enough. There are doing what they are doing for the betterment of the club, this is why there have been no regular press releases, there was no need. Unlike Cas and Wakey who are under pressure to make the ridiculas deadline the rfl have set. Both clubs could make rash decisions that could put there long term futures at risk just to meet the RFLs deadlines. Rovers have publically stated they will not do this, in my opinion the RFL with there policy have created what they said licences would stop

In the past we have drawn bigger crowds on a regular basis than both Cas and Wakey, no reason we couldnt do again, something happened to Rovers on Sunday, the support was something i havent seen for year and years

| Quote ="Gaslight"=#8000FFI honestly don't see why current fans would be opposed to such an idea, yes it will be different at first but the older fans who are set in there ways will have to accept that a merged club will be far better on AND off the pitch and with both clubs pooling together their best resource - the youth systems then it's a super power in the making and at either J30 or 32 I'd expect to be seeing 10k+ crowds, the name doesn't need to mention CASTLEFORD or WAKEFIELD so fans can't say "well I'm not going to watch *insert city/town name*".
But my opinions on why I think a merger would work might be unrepresentative because I've probably been to just as many Wakey games as Cas ones and don't have a particulaly "strong" attachment to say no way in hell should there be a merger.'"
This pre-supposes that the clubs would only merge their best assetts, unfortunately both clubs have a mountain of problems and I can see those coming too!!!
