Obviously! but one will certainly get full permission and the other will be very lucky to get any sort of permission.

I think what he's trying to say is that full planning permission could be applied for and a decision near enough made by the time you're outline planning permission is granted.

Am I the only one to be not against a merger. I would prefer for both clubs to carry on and succeed but it in my opinion (and it is only my opinion) one of us is going to be chucked out to make way for Widnes, and I would rather a strong merged team continue to fly the flag for this region than one of us bite the dust.
I have supported Trinity since 1960 and reiterate that I would prefer to see a successful Wakefield Trinity, but if the alternative is to sink down to NL1 (with not a hope of returning to SL), then I would prefer to watch a merged team, as long as there was no "senior partner".

All Cas fans will want the ground share in GH (If it were to happen) and vice versa with the Wakefield fans.
I am not being biased as I am a Trinity fan, but the best idea would be for the stadium to be built in Newmarket.
Wakefield to GH is 8 miles. Wheldon Road and Wakefield to Newmarket Lane is only 4 miles. Nice central location for both clubs.
But hopefully this would be definitely the LAST resort both clubs would have to take.

What about fans that don't live in the centre of Wakefield or don't live on Wheldon Rd in Cas.

For me to GH is 3.2 miles. To Newmarket Lane is 9.2 miles. An extra 6 miles just to see my team? No thanks.

Exactly! The council have only a little money (if any) to support ( not fund) only one site and that will be the one with the go ahead ie Glasshoughton. Don't forget time is running out fast for both clubs.

Re: Stadium Statement : Thu Jul 15, 2010 6:14 pm  

Looks like Mr Box is swinging his amber and black wrecking ball again.

If we go to Glasshoughton, it is not in Wakefield anymore and so is not my team. If we go to Oakwell as an alternative, it will become a Barnsley team and is not my team. I do not support a limited company called Wakefield Trinity. I support a rugby team in Wakefield called Wakefield Trinity, and when that ends, I can see no reason to support them somewhere else purely because it has the same board of directors.

This is not an anti-Cas thing, but I'm not from Cas, and don't want to support a team playing in Cas. Sport support is an emotional thing, and I'll follow my emotions, not reason.
