Talk about old news and you only posted it on forum after it had been posted a few times

No you did not, it had already been on here then

yes from me - i remeber being called a liar over an over agin but you will see - mind you having not even seen damien for months (and prob wont now) i have no idea if he managed to agree a deal with ulster!

Not by you but anyway I cba going on about something so sad.

It would be a shame if he goes as he is one of the best wingers in SL on his day, but only time will tell now.

And Rodney Walker could give a master class.

Thought so ,total load of Shy te.

The only new stadium Cas will be playing at will be in Stanley.

That's what I'm lead to believe!

More like what you hope happens.

still doesn't give any more information does it. All it says is that they have had a couple of meetings.

Have you been a naughty troll recently and been sending people pm's that aren't nice ?

I don't do anything thats not nice my good friend

Still can't figure out whay Castlefored and Wakefield don't build 1 stadium and share it a la AC & Inter Milan, Juve and Torino......doesn't make sense to have 2 stadiums in places that the money is needed elsewhere (hospitals, Schools etc)

Yeah right.

Because the Milan clubs etc.. do not play in league that uses a franchising system to decide who is in that league.

Playing in a joint stadium will lead to one thing eventually -more pressure to merge,in turn leading to the extinction of one or both clubs.

Wakefield and Castleford will never merge.

Says who?
Castleford and Wakefield sharing a stadium is no pointer to a merger. Tell you what, why don't you both keep your heads buried in the ground and wait for Barcelona, Paris or Johanesburg to replace you


A 12,000 seater stadium full for 26 rounds of SL, offering service opportunities to the Local community is better that watching both of them die....which believe me, will happen. I like Hell View and the Jungle, but let's face it, they are both fit for Bulldozing at best.

Chapster what have you been doing.

Castleford have been given the opportunity to join in at Stanley with the Wakefield stadium project and they have refused.

Well, I would recommend that Mr Lewis and his globe trotting expansion team pop down again and do a godfather on them........make em an offer they can't refuse.
Surely, if the RFL made it clear a merger wasn't on the cards for at least 20 years, the benefit to the community out weighs the moaning of a few "die hard" fans.
Move forward and you have a chance of survival. Stand still and you're dead clubs walking.
St Helens, Salford and Celtic will dodge the new stadium bullet, but one of, or both of you wont.

I couldn't give a rats ar$e if we share a stadium, as long as it gets built and Wakefield Trinity play in it for years to come.

Like so many others I don't want to see the two clubs merge under almost any circumstance.

I wonder if the financial incentive, that HullFC and Huddersfield benefited from, were still there would Castleford be more willing to merge with Wakefield? I think the incentive was £1 million or £1.25 million and a cherry pick from two squads of players.

I wonder if the thought has ever occured to the SLE member clubs and the RFL, who want room for expansion, to make a renewed offer to clubs to merge.

I doubt that either Governing body want to lose the support, community links, sponsorship and most importantly the youth development that exists alongside all current SL Clubs. Rather than risk losing all by excluding a club in the next round of franchising it's conceivable that they might reintroduce a financial carrot.

SKY TV would probably contribute towards a merger fund either directly or by way of increased TV money. It would suit their mandate for spreading the game and selling more dishes etc.

What if the figure on offer were £5million to a merged club?
Could any board of Directors afford to ignore that sort of money?

Would The Directors of Wakefield and Castleford suddenly find some common ground (forgive the pun).

They may see a merged club in ONE stadium with £5million in the bank as a solution to the immediate threat of one or both being kicked out in three years or the longer term threat that only two West Yorkshire clubs will survive the further expansion into Europe, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

lets hope so .....but i think in time it could happen
