| Quote ="Trinity Till Death"From Wakefield's perspective we should dismiss GH straight away. Forget it, be strong and get on with NM regardless of the pressure being exerted. If/when NM gets delayed then we should look at playing at viable stadiums in the near vicinity with the exception of GH (if built).
I have no bad will to Cas but first and foremost this is about Wakefield and Newmarket. Glass houghton plays no part in our future'"
Exactly right....come on Wakey, fans,Swag WCT stay strong and firm we have no need to give into the scaremongering tactics. We do not need Cas to proceed with Newmarket but they sure as hell need us.

| Quote ="Gaslight"=#8040FFWhy?
Nobody could FORCE the teams to merge, the RFL can ask & offer money, but nor force it. Both teams would still be given a lot of money from Sky per year and I'd bet Wakeys grounds would go UP at Glasshoughton because there would be more travelling fans.
At Oakwell you'd lose a franchise criteria point on the 40% full ruling because it holds over 20,000, at Glasshoughton you wouldn't because it would hold 15,000.
'"
And what about gaining a point for the no club within 12 mile rule(or wahatever it is)

| Makes you wonder if the survey the club recently did was to be used for this feasibility study issue.
If as has been said, the Council are still planning to use the two parcels of land, then they gain nothing from trying to force us into a groundshare. Therefore they should allow the Community Trust the chance to progress the Newmarket plans and as Cas have already been told they can play there (assuming they can't finalise funding for their private stadium) there is no loser.
The way I see it we go to GH we die a slow death or end up in NL1 so we might as well take a chance on sticking with NM.

| Rodney and his gang could generate 2 million i do not think we need the council apart from a stamp of approvel. Back to the protest lets go near box's office and give him what for a reasoned debate. He promised us a ground after thornes park and that he would work with us. Work with us and place the golden stamp you &$£$%$£%"£ . And do it now. Forget Barnsley why should we travel to Barnsley we are Wakefield at least Glasshoughton is a part of the Wakefield district but that is our last option. But we should stay strong on the Newmarket site surely Sir Rodney has more say than a cardboard box .

Any delay in proceedings will require Trinity having a plan B. If Newmarket gets stuck in red tape the RFL will not accept anything less than actual construction work as evidence of progress.

What other delay would they be though??? plans are in; thousands upon thousands backing the Newmarket development funding in place, Sir Rodney could generate 2 million from somewhere or even cut something down where we just need 1 million, im confident. If we bombarde mr box who very rarely replies to letters BTW only 1 councillor i have a problem with even ED Balls manages to reply but never Mr Ignorant BOX. We have a chance there will be uproar if we share at Glasshoughton as Mr Box will be a liar after saying he would back any plans Trinity had after thornes, so he needs to back it, if not this will not be forgotten. We have the power Sir Rodney holds a lot of power. HAVE FAITH PEOPLE IT WILL HAPPEN .

The council have delayed the initial outline planning decision till September for no apparent reason, if it goes to a public enquiry then it will add more time.
In my opinion, the WDCT should call Box's bluff. If Trinity sort themselves out with a viable plan B option until Newmarket gets the go ahead then there is no need for them to be pressured into any unfavourable deal.

| Sharing at Oakwell is a good plan B until Newmarket is sorted. moving to cas is a none starter we'd lose fans in protest and not get any new fans from that area so wouldn't benefit Wakefield at all. I'm glad the club and WCT are stil progressing with newmarket as its a brilliant project and would provide Wakefield with something to be proud of for a change.

I have even thought that if we have to play out of Wakefield then so be it, as this council don't deserve a club to be proud of

It's a theoretical option. If the club chose to go down that avenue then there would have to test the water and open up negotiations. Any club would be stupid to completely ignore a new source of income without analysing the details.

| If Glasshougton was to be the chosen stadium, I would still support Wakefield, I just wouldn't support them AT Glasshoughton. It would be away games only for me I'm afraid.
Imagine how fun it would be if we all followed a sport where top-flight status was judged on league positions rather than business plans? The clowns who run Rugby League will not be happy until we have one league and all other clubs cease to exist. How many other sports do you know where the side who finish 5th can be relegated but the side who finish bottom are guarenteed another 3 years in the top division?
