The discovery of a 'protected species' - Otters - at the Newmarket site may have come as a surprise for Yorkcourt. [Technically it was otter droppings rather than otters but the implications may be the same.

While this discovery may have been unexpected it is surely not beyond the ability of the bigwigs to find a solution. If they can build a stadium and hotel etc over old mine shafts and cope with potentially contaminated land then otters should be manageable. It must be possible to create a biodiverse nirvana where Wildcats and Otters can co exist in harmony. It would be wonderful for kids to be able to see the wildlife before attending a game.

We cannot afford to lose an endangered species in these difficult times.

Phew.

Just got back from Stanley with that spraint you gave me to scatter over the field..

PS - it's a none story as the otters will soon die out when they move the bulldozers in etc.

Are you not aware that the ‘project’ is just for the purpose of retaining our SL status???

No need for the otters to worry!

As Maurice Lindsay probably said:

"No greater commitment to bodiversity can a SL club have that it lays down its licence for an otter."

Speaking of which, whatever happened to that old swamp monster from up in the hills of marsden

Silly boy, They just seem to roll off your tongue

Tarka? Ted probably ran over it!

dont worry about it , we are to train the otters then ship em off to old fartown (for a fee of course)

No I think her name was marsden midget or something similar.

Marsden was famous for her barbeques up in them thar hills, apparently roast squirrel was her speciality washed down with a gallon of hooch, I wonder if she has sent old wadski down to see if there are plenty of otters there, a change on the menu perhaps.

Clearly missed the point there Chissie.

Isn't a Wildcat a natural predator of both an otter and a water vole?

Don't tell the council that

You really are a bitter individual, for some reason, only known to yourself, you take joy in Wakefield bashing.

For more years than I can remember, visiting clubs supporters complain, rightly, about the B.V facilities, and, just as the club finally put decent plan in action, you wait for a bit of bad news, then post it gleefully on the V.T.

I’ve asked before, as to why you have such an utter distain for the club, and, as I have never had a logical reply, I can only assume, whatever it is, has seriously affected your rationale.

the 8th wonder off the world mate . Im sure most fans wish us well in our plans unfortunately you will always get opposition from some one. in our case its jo who keeps appearing just like a big pimple on your nose on prom night.

What a load of cack this topic is.

don't analyse me or project your own misanthropy read what I actually write:



Is a world with wildcats and otters too much to ask for?

Most unfair to refer to DA's pimply nose



I am not against anyone having a stadium. But not at the expense of endangered species or biodiversity. That is why I trust Yorkcourt will come up with some way of building the much needed distribution warehouses (plus stadium) while not endangering the otters.

I am sure they can do this. The building of large scale developments on former coalmines is a substantial undertaking. This is because of all the structural uses re disused mine shafts and the potential contaminants. In many cases this is a costly and time consuming activity. That Yorkcourt can get that all sorted + access the money needed and have the stadium actually being built in less than 12 months is impressive. That is why I reckon changes in the plans to accomodate otters should be manageable.

There may be a solution to Ted's otter problem.

you really are a tool.

How can you suggest I’m misanthropic?

I’m pleased that, St’s, Salford & Cas are striving to get their new grounds.

You, in the other hand, post a thread on the V.T. clearly relishing that the project has hit a snag, albeit one which I’m sure can be rectified.

Every time there is a problem at Wakefield you, in your various guises, start a thread about it!

Hello Chissit. Less of the old!

I am unsure what your problem is but I will tell you again what I told you a year or so ago. The person you are referring to (I presume MarsdenGiant) was pointed out (across a pitch during an academy game) by a mutual friend.

That's as far as myself and MG go. Beside I thought she was was a 'ban on sight' person on here nowadays.

As for your major overaction a few days ago - what was that about? I am sure you can take banter like the rest of us but there seemed to be plenty of venom for several people in it - I only asked you to post something about the Quins game!

Hope to see you soon.

i made her/him BOS on the wakey board although we could reconsider at any given time
