I'll start this on the Huddersfield board as i don't think it would go down to well on the wakey board, (which may answer the question in it self!), but how does the idea of Wakefield & Doncaster merging appear to a fan thats emotionally unattached to either club? Because heritage/ rivalry aside IMO in a business sence it would seem to answer the problems the two clubs face? Doncasters struggling a bit with the funds and Wakefield could get the ground that they need and two sets of supporters would only add to attendances.

I put it out there!....






Transfer fees:
Real Madrid do it!
Manchester United do it!
now the Huddersfield Giants do it!

Sign of the times people, things change!

why not merge all the WY teams and all all the Lancs teams and have just two games a year?

It would save the supporters a fortune.
