That's my point.

I know. If a lot of the older guys give up then so will the kids. Either that or the kids will go watch Leeds or us. Catch 22 situation for us, Wakefield going down. We lose our main rival and one of the biggest attendance pulls of the season. But we could gain in fanbase and strengthen our own core support.

From reading the Wakey board that is what may happen. For me and my 2 kids, we would be there with Cas next season - Whatever!

I'm sure you would, but this time round there's no possibility of a quick return so it would affect the thoughts of many Cas fans as well, added to that the feeling of injustice at the decision.
I think many would fall out of love with the game more than their club, and i find that both totally understandable and very sad.

I don't post on the Cas board but on this rare occasion,

My view, and I've said this for a long time, is that if EITHER Wakefield or Castleford are removed and Crusaders remain then I am done with the game at all levels.

If the RFL find some convoluted way of justifying the above then that's all the confirmation I need that the sport (ha) is no longer that which I've been associated with for most of my life and I will find other things to do with my time.

Call it overdramatic, doubt me if you wish but I've had my fill of the RFL and it's agendas.

Not really, I couldn't give a toss as long as Cas stay in super league, if you do go down for a few years and the stadium comes along for us ,it's our chance of stamping Wakefield into the ground for good with no return into the big time.
A bit harsh?.... The other way round and 80% of you lot would feel the same.At the end of the day if any of us go down, the other one will be rubbing their hands hoping their going to go the same way as fev and the district is all theirs for the rich pickings

I actually do agree with you to an extent

However, kicking either of Cas or Wakey out at the expense of keeping Quins and Crusaders (and possibly even Salford) is laughable and something which we all know the RFL won't think twice about doing

As long as Cas get the gig i couldn't care less and neither would the vast majority of Wakey fans if the boot was on the other foot.

Some Wakey fans are trying to blame everybody for the position they have found themselves in.

I think the general miss-management of the club for donkey's years from the 1970's to Father Ted as the main problem.

Some of them are clearly having a mental breakdown.

It's not pretty.
