Propaganda!! Is there a source or name of the journalist who wrote this report that i have missed?

David Craven! Cant see wood for the trees.. shattered zzzzzzz

We all like a bit of banter and wind up with the TIGERS,but, a serious point is being made here. One of the things I DO admire about Cas fans is the way they have got behind there team when playing in the lower leagues and have the highest attendences whilst playing there. I do not know if this would happen if we go down. Also, people keep mentioning College Grove as a temporary home, BUT, correct me if I am wrong was,nt one of the reasons for the demise of Wakefield RUFC quoted as being the ground/facilities/parking etc?

wouldn't expect owt else for journalists thinking they can solve the problem

Hold on let me reach for my hanky!!! There are many a wakey poster who have asked why some cas fans are "loving" the current situation Wakefield find themselves in. Well my friend, you have answered the question. Do you think that the day you sent us down has been forgotten without the chance to gloat on any bad luck that comes your way. I remember the smug faces and intimidation and violence (yes violence) suffered by some of our supporters at the hands of some of yours and the message boards full of crap on how pleased you were we were out of superleague!. Didn't we just get on with it (twice), brush ourselves down and hold our heads high (which is what you should be doing at this moment in time).

Who knows what's going to happen and for me, playing in the lower league made us a better side and prepared the club for harder times. At the moment we are on the front foot, but believe me when I say this (well it's up to you), I'd Wakey in Superleague any day over Crusaders, Salford, Harlequins

Am i the wildcats fan who thinks that we should both ground share? I mean look at sports here in australia. The AFL in Perth, Freemantle and West Coast Eagles are bitter rivals and both share the same stadium, just train in different places. And they both get 50,000 + fans to every game, you cant get a ticket when they play each other unless your a member. I think it would be better in the long run. New events could be arranged, The glasshouten Shield etc... Just think we need to swollow our pride and moving to barnsley will be the death of us

A groundshare at Glasshoughton would be the death of us. Do you honestly believe that the RFL will allow 2 SL franchises to play out of 1 stadium. That stadium being in Casleford who do you think would get a franchise. We would be reduced to being a NL club called Wakefield playing in Castleford - how long do you think we would last then.

Barnsley as a temporary measure is our only chance and thats pretty slim. Our only chance of a franchise is the failure of others which is a pretty sad state of affairs. Its turning fans against fans as we can see from these boards. Rugby League used to be a family, a family of Clubs and a family of fans that used to help each other but no more and I for one am getting more and more tired of it.

I don't for definite, it's just a guess based on the fact that your chairman has been stating for 3 years that you were ready to go, and yet you still haven't applied for full PP.
It is my personal opinion that Richard Wright is the twin brother of Alistair Campbell when it comes to spin.

I am waiting to see if his latest deadline of submitting it before Christmas comes and goes without any further movement.

That's the most insightful post I've seen through all of this sorry affair; we've let the RFL and Sky reduce us to a situation where fans of RL heartland clubs are wishing each other out of existence, whilst begging to be allowed to sit at the top table. It's shameful.

And when you come down to the championship and the door is closed firmly shut behind you, it will take a while but the slow realisation amongst the fans that the RFL don't give a sheeite about the game below SL and that however loud you protest about the unfairness and outrageousness of how the game is run will spread across the wakey masses. Your time in SL will be over.
Some of you who have sniped at fans of teams below SL over the past 12 years will suddenly be faced with having to accept life down here in the championship or hawk theirselves off to Leeds/Cas etc!
Of course, you will hang onto every thread of hope, every appeal, every last protest etc but in the end, the championship is where it will be kicking off the 2012 NRC somewhere like Workington!
Great isn't it!

Don't mind the idea of a trip to Workington, it's the trip to Fev I'm not looking forward to.

It'll be reet.

Time will tell; personally, I'm not totally against a few years of decent, honest, championship rugby - the problem is that we've tied ourselves in knots to such an extent trying to satisfy the RFL's demands that even if the championship is the future for us, we've nowhere to play. Our club appears to have adopted a '5h1t or bust' approach to this round of SL franchises and at this point in time, it looks llike the latter.

Ok... I'm getting really confused by a lot of folk on RLFans... and now this article

See, I was under the impression that Cas were no more further along than us. We don't have the full PP yet, but neither does Cas. Admittedly they shouldn't have the same problems we do in getting it, but they haven't got the funding for it, whereas we have the money for our stadium. Cas have spent the past few years chopping and changing their plans due to the fact that they haven't got the money, whereas Wakey seemed to find the Newmarket project a bit more staright forward even though its not next to the "Second most visited tourist attraction in the country". Wakefield might have hit a serious stumbling block, but we have options available to us and if done well could be of massive benefit to us and the game, whereas Cas could still be playing in their old stadium in 2012.

I know Wakey aren't the best run club in the league, but are Cas or any other clubs really any better?

Despite all this it seems that everyone is convinced that we're dead in the water. Just baffling really.

No, the demise of Wakefield RFC was down to money. Not enough people from this city, the one people on here are crowing about a lack of professional sport in, would pay to watch them, coupled with the fact that when union went professional, most teams outside the top flight couldn't compete to get promoted and earn the riches in the Premiership. Didn't see many people at that last game when it was all but known that should they have lost, they'd go out of business.

Fact remains, people in the city couldn't give a toss, because the majority support football teams without a WF postcode, not the rugby league team bearing the name of the city.
