That would depend on who puts the weakest bid in for the next Franchise, its seems to me as a outsider if you like, that some Cas fans feel the RFL would like to get rid.

I just don't see it.

If the stadium is built and all three clubs - Salford, Cas, Wakey - are in new grounds then Salford have the weakest licence bid. Purely for the fact that currently Cas and Wakey have/are finished/ing above them in the table and have better academy systems etc.

Fully understand your concerns with sharing a stadium but without a new stadium i'm affraid you'll be booted out of Superleague?

My concern for you both is once your sharing a stadium will the next step be to merge? and i know what you'll say to that?

So agreeing to sharing will bring closer a merger between yourselves? That would be my concern.

Re: Wakey Express- Groundshare : Sat Jul 17, 2010 10:34 am  

The Council and both Cas and Wakey have contacted the RFL to get reassurance that they won't be forced to merge.

I'd rather support Cas in NL1 than merge.

Pleased to hear it

Yes. they've been stirring up the opposition but if the 'facts' they're using have no basis then they will count for nothing in the planning process. Best just to ignore them until they come up with anything substantial. No point in arguing with people like that it just adds fuel to the fire.

Because they dont agree with you doesnt mean all they say is wrong, I think these people could cause Wakey some real problems

Re: Wakey Express- Groundshare : Sat Jul 17, 2010 2:27 pm  

Is there plans for any link or relief roads to be built around the newmarket site?.(i ask this as most Cas fans and away fans would all try and get to the ground via the j30 turnoff of the M62)

There is no rail link there,would the local bus companies run special services there?, or something like a park & ride from the centre of Wakefield?

Is there any facilities being planned around the Newmarket site? Some rugby fans like to have a drink and a bite to eat before the game,especially the ones who would have travelled far)

Finally, the industrial units at the site,due to the economic climate there is alot of units in the whole Wakefield area stood empty, what could the york court units offer potential companies that hasn't already been built?
