At least this is showing some movement. I would much rather share on either site than not get a franchise.

Front page of Wakey Express is calling for a ground share, from the image I saw on Facebook earlier. COMMON GROUND - is the headline. 'Wildcats and Tigers look set to share same stadium due to cash shortage' is the sub-title. http://www.facebook.com/#!/notes/wakefield-express/this-weeks-express/414238279643

its the front page of tomorrows wakey express according to the express facebook page,saying both clubs have been told to ground share by the council,

[FULLY WROTE:TRB, can you clarify what the club mean by a review of Glasshoughton/Newmarket? I hope the council aren't pushing the groundshare agenda. I would be sincerely p*ssed off, if so.]

you need to live in a real world and look at the economic climate

i probably live at the farthest extreme of wmdc away from newmarket, and it would inconvenience me greatly.

but we need to get real - both us and cas.

newmarket is an ideal location for a ground share.

not a merger - a ground share. would secure the future for both clubs and help both to be more of a force in super league

No, it isn't. That would see the death-knell of Castleford Tigers.

Well something doesn't add up here. Earlier this week we had Dick Wright promising plans will be out shortly and full planning permission will be going in. We also have Sir Rodney and us saying it's full steam ahead! So where does the Wakey Express headline come from? Just a cheap headline hopefully! But what is worrying is that all we have at the moment from both clubs is nothing but hot air!

Don't understand!!

If both schemes are (fully?) privately funded, why is there a cash shortage? What does this have to do with WMDC, other than the planning permission? Are the council putting any funds into either (or both) of the schemes? I was under the impession the answer was no!!

And what does this have to do with council? Neither club is asking for handouts from the council so where has this come from and why?

When are SWAG going to release their statement?
