I doubt it could happen, however there is clearly a possibility and I would imagine some willingness from a developers perspective. It looks an option to me, but one I doubt would be accepted by the arch deciever Wright or the Cas fans in general.

It will help amatuer teams as well as just Wakey!

That is rubbish - you name the SL players both playing for Cas and other SL/NRL teams and I'll do the same. They must have played at least one SL game for you. Then we can blow that particular myth out of the water, becauase it is a total fabrication.

Go on if you dare - that's all players signed in the last ten years as Academy players or signed at 19 and under - go on I dare you

I sense the 'race' to a new stadium may, for the timebeing at least, have swung in Wakey's favour and good luck to 'em because there is no other way to a renewed license for them. Despite recent comparitive success on the playing field their crowds remain unsatisfactory so a move from Belle Vue is a last throw of the dice attendance-wise.

Cas, on the other hand, can fill the Jungle with a half decent side (currently we're not even a quarter decent at home). While a new stadium is the ideal and would increase our commercial capacity I understand that as far as SL criteria are concerned the Jungle could be made compliant if we had to resort to a plan B.

As regards the proposed Newmarket site, at first glance one could be forgiven for thinking a shared venue is back on the cards; isn't it closer to where Cas RU reserves play than to where Wakey currently play?
