if everyone is worried about mergers and feeder teams etc. What about exploring the possibility of a merger of sorts with dewsbury? If they were interested:

They have a ground that could be developed as there's bugger all around it.

They have much less chance of getting in SL with the franchise system.

Their could be a beneficial dual registration of players.

It's a lot closer than Leeds or Barnsley, it's practically on the doorstep.

Warren jowett a former player and wakey lad, joint sponsors.

Just thinking out loud?

Reduced running costs etc.

unfair to Dewsbury as I would of thought that they would of lost their name before us

Short term, temporary stands, I don't think there is a problem, hull kr were allowed in with theirs.

Not sure they would, they would be a feeder club of sorts, but they could become a succesful nl1 club on the back of it??

Like I said just thinking out loud.

Ideal to get to but it wouldn't be home, like I've read before it would be like being a cockoo

That would be a good move until Newmarket is sorted, only 10 minutes from Wakefield, we've always had a good relationship with LUFC using their shop in the Ridings in the mid 90s, LUFC reserves playing at Belle Vue.

We could just open the west stand for the games with no away fans celtic, quins huddersfield to minimise cost and open the south stand for sides with a bigger away following and the Revie Stand for probably the biggest crowd when we play the Rhinos. Do a deal for Wakefield based LUFC season ticket holders and with the increased away support it could work. Knowing Ken Bates though he won't be letting us rent Elland Road on the cheap or has it got anything to do with him? who owns Elland Road is a mystery.

We must keep pressing on with Newmarket though as moving back into the City of Wakefield ASAP is a must.

Doesn't say much at all. In fact if you've read these forums you will be more informed of the situation than if you bought the Express.

Newmarket would be leaving the "city" too so no big deal really. Leaving the District would be more accurate.

Indeed it would. Regardless the headline has done its job and got peoples attention without the article having anything of substance to it.

How would NM be leaving Wakefield???



Newmarket Lane is in Wakefield. Can't say the same for Methley...

It would still be leaving the city as the boundary is just beside Pinderfields Hospital.

Playing at dewsbury wouldn't either WF12.
