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!

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

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.

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

Sandal RU has capacity of a maybe couple of hundred ??, just 1 very small stand so is a non runner
College Grove, just hockey so another non runner
Ossett Town, capacity of a couple of thousand, so another non runner (although with dwindling attendances it may be big enough)
Dewsbury Rams, capacity of 3000, so again not big enough

Fev would be closest and probably big enough in the short term but, as others have said, unless it was a stop gap whilst say, Belle Vue was being up graded, a ground share with another RL club would nail the coffin lid on Trinity

Drifting steadily off subject here guys.
Let's keep this clear so news on Newmarket/Belle Vue is clear to everyone.

The other arguments have been done to death now.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33214058 This is in the news today regarding the London Olympic stadium. £702 Million for a 54,000 seat Stadium More expensive per seat that the extremely over budget and extravagant New Wembley £272 Million of that is purely for the conversion from Athletics to Football, it's obscene! West Ham are contributing just £15 Million towards the costs and will then take ownership of the stadium. Like cashed up Premier League football clubs need a £687 Million pound handout don't they! We can't bloody get funding for a 10,000 seat glorified bus shelter! Don't tell me there's no North South divide
