That may end up being the case.

| Quote Khlav Kalash="Khlav Kalash"Indeed both Gateshead and Sheffield were left on the scrap heap, Gateshead however were going bust so chances are they would be were they are now anyway and Sheffield the same. Perhaps right now both clubs are better off then what they would’ve been had they kept going . Sheffield in particular seem to be developing nicely and with the move to Brammell Lane perhaps in time they can bid for a SL license as a much stronger entity.
Any merged club can not have any reference to the existing clubs as per steady’s post. It would alienate any existing supporters open to the idea of a merger. The name and colours would need to be completely neutral. There can be none of the ‘Wakefield-Castleford Miners’ compromises as you say the Castleford name would be dropped eventually which would naturally drive away support from that area.
Calder Miners is an option or instead of Calder perhaps another name which encompasses the area. My only hope that if this situation ever arises I hope it’s done right and not halfd where we end up with a name like West Yorkshire Rage or some other equally horrid Americanised moniker.'"
I think the fact is if the new team didn't have Wakefield in the title people from Wakefield won't be interested and the same for Castleford and to be honest with a name like Calder Miners that would have no meaning for me personally.

Fair point, but how many people from Cas and Wakefield support Leeds Utd or even Leeds Rhinos?

| Calder whatever sounds terrible IF this ever came off.
Trinity Tigers is no good if both teams would still exist as feeder clubs to the new club.
West Riding ......?. Miners in the name is abit 80s, i know that rhubarb growing is big in the area but we can't use that
Done the cat nicknames maybe a bird of pray name, Harriers?, Falcons? etc

| Always makes me smile when merger talk nowadays comes around no one mentions Rovers just Cas and Wakey, it also makes me happy. What people are failing to realise although it will change very shortly is Rovers are going to make a jaw dropping announcement about ground / land developments in the next few weeks. Bulldozers will be moving into post office road before the seasons end. There will be a stadium getting started on in the area but it will be Featherstones and funded by Featherstone

I wish you lot all the best with that. If Cas & Wakey were to be booted out for Fev, then fair enough. However, why would the RFL pick Fev, over Halifax Widnes Barrow Leigh or Tolouse? (as for the merger talk, I agree with what you've been putting Rovers.)

Good luck with that. If all three clubs can move into a new ground in the near future I think everyone will be happy with that.
