this is just my opinion and I hope I am proved wrong by either stopping at BV or getting NM resurrected.

A ground share situation would kill us. Share with who? The only option for ground share is to move out of the city. The team may move but the fans won't!

Ground share would be the death of the club as far as I am concerned. I for one will not travel out of Wakefield - can you imagine sharing GH? God forbid -NEVER!

Lets have something else to get down about. Ground share may well be the only option in the short term and I suggest that we should look at all options. The first thing on the agenda needs to be to get the team performances right and get a few wins under our belt. Maybe then take a few games on the road at more than one venue.

I tried.

The only way in which a groundshare becomes truly acceptable is where it is a short time limited move to facilitate either an upgrade of existing or a new build.

Moving away with no long term plan is dangerous and risks the 'Swinton' effect.

Moving in with Cas would involve playing out of GH, and as the ground is being gifted to them, we would be rent paying tenants. No thank you!

Fev in Fev, Cas in Cas, Wakey in Wakey! Full stop. The end.

I can't imagine Leeds Rhino's BEING too happy about sharing Gary Hetherington with them.

If the worst case scenario is realised, and you drop out of Super League and are left without a ground, are there no options in Wakefield where you could share even short term?

Could Sandal RU be brought up to a reasonable standard via fundraising for a temporary stand/toilets etc? Or share at one of the Ossett football clubs - ok it's outside of the city but still a lot closer than Castleford/Doncaster etc. College Grove has been turned into Hockey pitches but I imagine it's possible to convert into a rugby pitch if it's financially beneficial to them.

I am not trolling btw.

From belle vue to new market is how far? I bet it isn't much different to dewsbury or batley! So distance isn't the
