Wakefield have already explored sharing a stadium at GH and looked at the finicial implications. It isn't possible as it probably wouldn't be for Castleford to share at NM. Neither will share as the club moving wouldn't survive regardless of what the feasability report from WMDC says.

I would love to know how they reckon it's not financially viable.



In the first year there a lot of fans would probably travel to tick off the stadium on their lists and to see what it is like.



The ground would offer better commericial facilities and more commercial facilities plus bringing in extra income. At GH, if that was the location, a few neutrals may come out to the odd game here and there to provide extra income. Don't know about Newmarket. Bigger club shop selling a wider range of merchandise etc.



Or am I just being optimistic there?

I would have thought that any ground even built with private money would require money etc from the council as part of transport, infrastructure and othere developments neccersary to build a ground.



There are a number of possible outcomes to this but it seems both clubs are determined to carry on the game of Brinkmanship. this is going to potentially leave one club in the crap. Wakey fans saying they will play out of Barnsley will see the end of a once great club.



Does anyone have a decent map showing the two towns and where the planned stadium are going to be so that the neutrals can judge what apears to be the best location.



A joint stadium would be the best outcome and would be unique as a PURE RL ground with two RL teams. Both clubs wuld be able to save on admin, ground costs etc for perpetuity. although when i have suggested it on cas and Wakey boards previously you would think i had advocated the killing of al first borns with WF postcodes.

The real reason they do not want to groundshare is not what they say as in fans wont travel we want it to be in our area etc is because they fear it will then become a fait accompli that they merge.

Cas is on J32 of M62 next to Xscape ski slope. Easy enough to find on Google

i have googled it but no Mway junctions. Normanton looks to be in the middle would that be any good

firstly,its a shame they cant find some land for a stadium which would keep both clubs happy.



secondly,if there was a merger between the clubs it would be a merger of equals and i think that would be a great addition to a real SLE competition.



thirdly,the difficult bit would be to find a name which would be suitable for both clubs.

The proposed site for Wakefield's stadium looks to be located equidistant between the two places, but no doubt it is seen as Wakefield's project so the Cas fans probably wouldn't buy into it.



In terms of pure location Glasshoughton would seem a very bad fit for Wakefield, it would probably deter some of their support from going and they wouldn't pick up any new support because they are slap bang in Cas territory.



Sadly I can't see a way out of this where both clubs survive in the top flight.

Just merge them and stop wasting time.

and the Hull sides

and Wire & widnes & Saints, and Fax & Bulls and Leigh & Wigan etc etc.





Now ducks!!!

Some real good ideas there.

from a personal point of view,im happy watching leigh in a english league.
