Personally I don't see merger at all - I think that is a huge leap. What I do see is a development that clearly has legs and one that seems to be getting a warm reception from all concerned at the top end.

Truth is two stadiums within 3 miles of each other in the current economic climate would be very hard to justify, especially one that sits almost exactly between the two conurbations.

Further to this it's worth noting that the Stanley development is on what is now very cheap land. Whilst the Glasshoughton site is now well advanced and doesn't really need a stadium as a centerpiece. I'd imagine the land value at Glasshoughton is currently far higher making that stadium a more expensive option. Added to that the Glasshoughton site only seems to have space for a stadium rather than a full blown sports village, I may be wrong there but that's how it looks to me.

For my money a shared Stadium must look very plausible to a lot of movers and shakers who think with their heads rather than fans who think with their hearts.

I'm not a developer but to me it's starting to look like a real attractive possibily from their angle.

Completeley agree with you vasty (never thought id say that lol) the only thing thats not ringin true is the 12000 bit if it was to be shared surely they could stretch to 16000 this way it could be a gig venue serving all west yorkshire to pay the bills , gets my vote !!

I think that figure would be more likely for a shared venue, of that I have no doubt.

Considering there's an announcement coming this week, I think it would be silly discussing and entertaining such an idea.

Not according to our leader. He said that we "are making progress."

Does he not say that all the time and then you seem to get no further
