Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Without knowning all the details, I understand that Wakefield and Castleford scored the same amount of points in the first set of franchises, and nothing has changed since then. The biggest difference this time is that Wakefield will get the 'Contributionto league' point for averaging 8th+ over the last 3 seasons where as Castleford would stuggle for this even if they finished 8th this time, meaning Wakefield would be (just) ahead.
So even we we agree to a ground share in cas, Castleford could find them selves replace in Super League. After all the RFL won't want to two teams playing in the same stadium when a Widnes or Barrow could come up. The fairest way to choose this team would be the one with the most points.
Saying that I would support a team playing full time in shared stadium Castleford (just like Cas fans at Newmarket). I'd just about accept Oakwell (if this is the plan B) if it was for a season, but not full time.

As it stands they are not providing either. If we are relying on WMDC for anything then we are shafted as they are totally useless in every respect. | | | |

| Quote underground="underground"In the hope of adding intelligently to the dabate... I did a bit of loose research (findings are rounded up or down as appropriate) on the distance from wakefield to a number of potential groundshare options for Trinity (I have take the centre of Wakefield as the start point for the research!)
It shows some interesting things:
To share with Bradford Bulls our fans would have to travel 14.5 miles to a home game
To share with Leeds Rhinos our fans would have to travel 13.5 miles to each home game
To share with Huddersfield Giants our fans would have to travel 11.5 miles to each home game
To share with Castleford Tigers at Glasshoughton our fans would have to travel between 9 and 12 miles (the most direct route is on very small roadways and takes you through Newmarket!!) to each home game
To share with Barnsley our fans would have to travel 9 miles to each home game
To play our home games as guests of Leeds United our fans would have to travel 8 miles to every home game
Mount Pleasant (Batley) is 7.5 miles, Crown Flatt at Dewsbury is 7 miles and the South Leeds Staduim of Hunslet is just 6 Miles
The stadium proposed at Newmarket is 4 miles out of town
no conclusions just some data....'"
What are the capacities of the stadiums. Bare in mind that we need 12k for 1 franchise point and no more than about 14k if our current crowds are to be no less than 40% of the capacity for another franchise point. | | |
