I believe there were enough people in attendance including the press when it was expected we would lose our license. The unexpected demise of the Crusaders stopped our expulsion, I would expect even the relatively small number on here that some will remember if they are such diehards

What I recall is that of those applicants who weren't a dead-cert (because it was based on applications, not demotions), we were not the worst. I remember the hissy fit by Halifax, but it became somewhat clear that our application wasn't that bad, and better than those applying from the lower divisions.

More importantly, why are we discussing Barnsley? As far as I can tell, it's based on a Cas fan from Barnsley saying "why don't you play at Barnsley" and that's it.

Who would have the final say, Barnsley FC or Barnsley council? as for walking back from the ground, I'm sure there are buses that run between the towns

It's the bloody long steep hill from the ground that does me in wayne. It's getting harder to get up each season that passes.

Because we have played matches at Oakwell previously Slugger. Decent crowds as well as I recall.

Personally, I don't know anything about the Cas fan but was just going through our options on the stadiums that are closest, seen as MC stated 88M won't even take his calls, plus we've used Barnsley before. Added to that which one would potentially keep us in SL because atm I don't think Dewsbury will do that, not without a load of cash chucking at it anyway. There's talk of franchising coming back in as well, so I was trying to think of what would be the best for Club and keep most of the supporters coming. Tbh it's a complete nightmare, especially if you're the bloke trying to sort this lot out.

I remember the Halifax fans thinking they should have been in. But then the guy who assessed the applications even came out and said there's wasn't anywhere up to scratch.

I wouldn't, I'd be happy with Donny as our temp home. Thought it was a class stadium when we went for the semi final the other year.

Nah, really wouldn't want to share at Wheldon Road.

Re: Ground Share : Fri Dec 01, 2017 6:46 am  

I can't believe any Trinity supporter even considering sharing with Cas. Some Wakefield people dare not even step foot in Castleford. Crowds would plummet. People who say that Belle vue and the Belle Vue area are a dump clearly haven't visited Cas lately to see what a dump really looks like.
