In all the years i have supported cas i have known many lows, but nothing has left me feeling as bad as reading this thread, many times we have heard the word merger but i have never been worried since i knew the cas fans would never let it happen. But now i see cas fans are actually considering it and that sickens me. No matter how dissapointing a result may have been theres was always next week, the club would go on and our fortunes would change one way or another. All that matters to me is supporting cas tigers, what league they are in and how many trophies we win does not come remotly close in importance.

If this merger were to ever happen, why the hell should any cas fan support it? it would have as much to do with cas as salford does. I would despise any merged club with a passion, and end my assosiation with pro rl completly, and there are thousand more like me.

For someone to say that no other club could bear the castleford tigers name makes my blood boil why the hell if cas fans want to start afresh in the lower leagues shouldnt they be allowed to? Even doing a bramley and becoming amatuer is better than just allowing the club to die, and the club would be dead, killed off by a new team that has nothing to do with castleford or its history.

I have sung 'cas until i die' on the terraces since i was a child, and i damn well meant it.

Totally agree mate. I couldn't have anything to do with a soul-less merged together club. I would rather us battle it out in the National Leagues then staying "Super League" and lose our club.

Are you asking me to describe to you the difference between two parties creating a joint venture in which they each hold a 50% stake but retain the existing organisations; and a merger which results in one organisation from the merged assets of the other two? Is it that difficult a concept to grasp?

It may be a difficult concept for you to grasp! But calling it a joint venture is a joke are you suggesting that two organisations are kept , maybe we should keep two teams and play them both at the same time against the opposition then maybe the merger/ joint venture would win more than they lose.

Have you actually bothered to read the link I posted? Your ignorance of the facts suggests not.

Well if you move to Newmarket a merger will happen eventually.

Best thing you could do if you don't want to merge is also refuse to move to Newmarket under any circumstances.

But we won't move to Newmarket...well, apart from in your own head.

I have read your link and am I to understand that you are proposing a similar set-up in the Wakefield /Castleford situation ?

Not at all. Someone had suggested that a 'merger' had worked well for Wests Tigers. I was merely pointing out that a merger is not how that club was formed.

Fine sentiments' young man, could not agree more. It would be easy for me to say i would not go either but who knows eh.

Re: Merger : Fri Apr 23, 2010 8:00 pm  

i think that a merger between the 2 clubs, ala balmain and wests, would prove problamatic
but i do believe that a groundshare is the only way forward both financially and ensuring sl security next time round

if both clubs dont agree soon to this,and unless both clubs havn't got new stadiums by the next deadline,then i believe that one of you could be in for the chop

Newmarket isnt sorted yet, there's a big push by the objectors isnt there, it will go to a public enquiry
