You'll be telling us next that if we'd become "Calder", everything would be tickety boo.
Mergers never quite turn out as they are expected to do either, do they.
Where would our mystical shared ground have been built ?
Also, Cas were given the option to groundshare at Newmarket Lane but, they (quite rightly) refused.
Any shared ground would have had to be on neutral territory and this option was NEVER more than a pipe dream, a bit like HuddSheff playing some of their fixtures in Sheffield.
Remind me how many games did they play down there
You are clearly from the Boris Johnson school of telling the truth. Just lie and pretend it’s the truth.
It was Wakey who originally turned down the ground share option. They then changed their mind later. Cas we’re on their way with stadium plans and at that point things would have gone ahead. You clearly preferred administration.
Your original stadium plan was quite rightly turned down because you wanted to build it on green belt land - if that was a housing development no doubt you would have been praising the council for preventing it!
No one was talking about merging the two clubs only sharing a stadium.
You had a brilliant opportunity to have something unique, a real rugby league hub in West Yorkshire. Sharing costs for resources would have saved you money-and brought in more sponsorship. Some poor business decisions made based on pride. perhaps you’d have a bit more to spend where it matters.
