Surely not a problem - they just need to invest in a couple of portakabins and diggers and take a few photos, to send to Richard Lewis. After all, it's not as though it hasn't been done before!





Incidentally, the plan to share with Barnsley, at Oakwell, has also been done before. Dewsbury had it in their SL plan, when they beat us in the GF. But of course, it was rejected, because SL teams weren't allowed to groundshare with Premiership/potential Premiership clubs.

Wakefield played one game at Oakwell before, against Saints in a televised game if memory serves correctly.

Its a shame for wakey if they do get kicked out of SL. It is gutting to get relegated because the team can't get the results on the pitch but it must be sickening to effectively lose your place on the decision of some politician who isn't even linked to Rugby League. Its a stupid system.



Not looking good for them but you never know what could happen between now and the decisions being made.

I think the comment from the individual posted at the end says it all, how a few can destroy the vast majority's dreams. Sounds like us when our schedule was completely knocked out of sync because of a hand full of bored people.

I feel for Wakefield they have held their own over the years in SL but keeping up with the Joneses for them has been a struggle unable to secure a ground has been the problem for them having been rejected by the local council has added to the pressure to please.

But the RFL with their fair play of doing things will no doubt wield the axe for them and boot them out.

There will be no bending over backwards like they have done for the Crusaders ,What is the point they are not a development club and not only that they are to close to Castleford



This ticking all the boxes is really pathetic and the RFL have taken our game into a FIFA run style sport .

Bring back promotion and relegation if all this continues to go on we will only be left with a select few sides and that will be it.

Cant help but feel for Wakefield and not only that being booted out of SL will that put a strain on a financial side id expect,could then they face the prospect of going bang ? or is everyone at the top just prepared to keep their heads in the sand and watch Wakey and this sport crumble.

....lets be fair here. Wakefield have done well to stay up, but we all know their stadium is a dump. They also upped the qualifying of teams that followed them into SL by not doing as they promised regarding their stadium. Spending money on their first team but not on their stadium.

Hope they get it sorted tho.

if Wakefield go down then its hard to see how they are going to go back up and there is no way they are going to get a new ground in the near to medium future.



Might make the RFL's decision a bit easier though!

Won't Cas need a new stadium too ?

- Well said that man

Whats all the fuss about.



They will flourish in the Championship and by the time the next lot of applications are due in they will have their planning application granted then 3 years after that it probably won't matter anyways.



It is the only way forward isn't it and by then they will be ready for the step up.



I hope Wakey fans believe it cos I don't.

Your new derby is Halifax.
