Merger, yes. Groundshare, no.

I'm all for a groundshare. I stop at that though. I will not support a unified club if it pains me.

What about an Ipswich / Castleford multi-sport superclub?

Well, the whole independent process means that the research will be done on an impartial basis and then given to those who commission it, not altered to suit one party over the other.

The thing is, with the parcels of land loaned to both parties, Newmarket doesn’t need a review to know which site ticks more boxes. The paranoia in me thinks this would be no way independent, IMO it’s already a done deal, that’s why Wright wants it apparently without even knowing what the parameters are and why Trinity are a little more reserved on the matter.

As I said before, the commissioners of the review didn’t want to include the community facilities on offer at Newmarket, one of the key areas of the development, but were quite happy to include the railway station at Glasshoughton.

1 stadium = merged team within a couple of years IMO.

Wow, this has prompted me to do what i have said i would never do, post on a message board, so here goes.......................

Its about time we, Cas and Wakey supporters stopped the 'mines bigger and better than yours' crap and started working together on this one, because the ground sharing nonsense is just the precurser that the clowns at Red Hall want to force the merger issue again.
The ground share is a no no if we both want to retain our individual identities, and imo the team that moves out of its own heartland will be the one that withers and dies.
We should ride this storm and stick with our own plans , us at GH you lot at Newmarket and if both fail or the Superleague decide we are not wanted, then tough, let Leeds pretend they have a rivalry with Bradford when their supporters see Cas and Wakey as their real derby opponants and we will recommence hostilities in the championship along with a tasty extra derby with Featherstone.
Superleague will miss us both more than we will miss them, and we may just have a laugh on the way, saving both clubs identities and sticking 2 fingers up to the clowns at Red Hall.

And please do something about the 'newgroundbeforecas' poster, he makes your fanbase look a little odd

The "Community Facilities", for what they are, can easily be built at Glasshougton. The railway station right on the doorstep is an obvoius advantage that Glasshoughton has.

Would some one tell me where the extra funding that is required for GH will come from.Why would York Court put their money into GH what do they get out of it.

They wouldn’t put any money into GH. The extra money comes from the value of the two plot of land combined to partially fund one stadium instead of two.

Put it this way, Trinity go to Cas there is no chance of picking up new support, some of the hardcore may go with them. Trinity go somewhere else nearby, say Barnsley, then some of the hardcore will go with them and there are possibilities that they will pick up new support.

Both include travel a certain amount of distance. One offers better opportunities to grow the club. I know which I would prefer as the Plan B option.

Aren't there community facilities at Glasshoughton? I'm sure one of the (many) delays was attributed to talks with the council on what public facilities the stadium would include

I don't think that's entirely true. Cas have a bad season, I could imagine lots of fair weather fans turning up to see a winning local team.

Also with all the transport links to Glasshoughton, there would be ample opportunity for both clubs to grow their fanbase.
