Quote ="Gaslight"No not really, I just want a Castleford club and a Wakefield club doing well, winning the league every year isn't everything you know
not to mention both clubs have 2 of the best youth set ups already.
'" no they dont. And when was the last time both clubs were 'doing well'? has it happened yet in the professional era?
Quote ffs
just because the main part of the support comes from the town doesn't mean everyone does? Cas fans also come from Pontefract, Fev, Wakefield, Selby, Leeds, Doncaster, Hull, Normanton, Knottingly - the support is there, 10,000 for an NL1 final shows that, the new stadium will bring folk in the simple fact is, people don't want to go to Wheldon road anymore.'" Ahhh so when you said people become fans because of geographic location and if that geographic association was lost no-one would support them you were talking complete nonsense as people from Fev, Pontefract, Wakefield, Selby, Leeds, Doncaster, Hull, Normanton, Knottingly will come support a team they have no geographic association with.
Quote Turns out it was a fact though.'"
erm....? Yes? the sentence which made no sense is now a fact which makes no sense? if you wish.
Quote Trademarks are held by the clubs, not RFL, and there's nothing stopping a Castleford RLFC and Wakefield RLFC being formed, is there?'"
No the trademarks would be held by the clubs which merged, The RFL administer the competitions, and other than players, money and a place to play and a competition to play in, there is nothing to stop them forming.
Quote Why would anyone go support a merged team? that's right, THEY WOULDN'T'"
Better question, why wouldnt they?
Quote How is a merger that literally NOBODY wants a well thought out one? exactly, just shut up about it, we're not interested now, we weren't 15 years ago and we wont be in the future.'"
you dont know that. If you do please show your evidence.
Quote Yeah, because those 6000 fans will go watch a merger they never wanted
and nobody ever said fans come EXCLUSIVELY from the location of the team, just the core, but that doesn't suit the crap you're spouting so you ignored it, merge teams you lose 2 historic teams and 13,000+ fans, you don't see this because you're quite clearly an imbecile who knows nothing about the sport, or by the looks of it, business.'" So then you happily admit every part of Castleford and Wakefields growth would be available to a merged club then. As only a core will come because of the geographic association. And a merged club in a stronger position to take advantage of that growth, would also be able to attract a core of its own fans.
not to mention both clubs have 2 of the best youth set ups already.
