Quote ="TURFEDOUT"Quote ="gizmo"Quote ="TURFEDOUT"Quote ="gizmo"Dissapointed to read the comments from TR in the League Express, TR should be reminded that he is very fortunate that WMDC are allowing any financial aid to the proposed development at Newmarket having previously purchased Belle Vue from the club and subsequently selling it back to TR for a nominal amount.
TR should be more concerned in concentrating on the problems that have beset the Wildcats for decades, lack of investment at Belle Vue been at the top of the list, By my reckoning there have been a minimum of four proposals for a new stadium in the last 20 years none of which came to fruition but rather became industrial units. And Ironically it is the Industrial side that is pushing the development at Newmarket not a stadium as they would have us all believe.'"
You failed to mention why it was sold back for a nominal amount.'"
WMDC having previously purchased Belle Vue, one would suggest that that money was spent by the club, it is certain that the money recieved at that time was not spent on any refurbishment at Belle Vue. Allowing the Club to re purchase Belle Vue for a nominal amount has since allowed the Wildcats to sell the Belle Vue site for a rather substantial amount well above the amount paid to WMDC. Part of that money has already been spent. In total taking into account the level of investment promised by WMDC for the Newmarket development no supporter could ever be critical of WMDC in terms of supporting the Wildcats financially.'"
Your statement makes it clear you have little idea of why WMDC "purchased" Belle Vue.'"
Why WMDC purchased the site is irrelevant, the fact is they did, and having allowed the re purchase for a minimal amount and then the subsequent sale to a developer, the fact remains the club has gained rather substantially. I would suggest that no money has ever been spent on Belle Vue although the club has recieved substantial sums for it. Meanwhile we the fans have been promised stadium after stadium which have never materialised, but like most people I have witnessed those sites been developed into industrial units. Why should I expect anything different from the Newmarket proposal, history proves that it is most likely industrial units we will see at Newmarket not a stadium. Call me a sceptic if you like but we have seen and heard all this before.
