Ok i'll bite one last time. I've not 'trolled' this subject whatsoever, i've offered my opinion based on my professional experience and just because that differs from yours and as such you don't like it, does not make it trolling. And as it happens so far I have been correct, nothing has happened regarding the stadium, hence there is about to be a need for a call to arms. Not my problem if you can't handle that and as i've said the fact that anyone with an alternative view is the victim of name calling from yourself is more of a reflection on you than me. So it's not faux anger, I just don't like how you try and talk down to people, it's not big and it certainly isn't clever.

So anyway my supposed negative is I don't think protests alone will have an effect, but my positive is that the judical/legal route might well do so. It could at the very least scare the interested parties to be a little more forthcoming with their negoiations and at that point then a show of public support may mean people take notice. If that's the plan great, go for it on the proviso that legal advice has been sought and it is seen as a viable option. But a march to the town hall with a few placards is unlikely to cut the mustard by itself, it needs some meat behind it. Yorkcourt have shown their hand already and politicians are fluent in telling you what you want to hear and then doing nothing. Hopefully a threat of action will spur them into life, if not it will have to be all out attack. Wakefield needs new facilities and I will be as happy as anyone to see them built, it is why I signed the petition in the first place.

Apparently they don't recall ever being informed NC wouldn't count towards the target. Naturally no minutes of the meeting were taken. I've speculated that even if they were told was it explained to them in a way they would understand what the implications were.

I guess we'll never truly know. Both parties have form for being a little economical with the facts.

Surely the burden of proof is on the Council to prove that they informed the Stadium Trust etc.

The fact that they have no minutes can be added to the fact that they have no record of the legal advice they say they took.

Shoddy

WMDC is beggining to remind me of Doncaster Council a few years ago.

In reply to t-r-i-n-t-y…..were the "residents of newmarket"/ representative of the people of Wakefield present in that so called meeting with Glover/Elston ? Surely the point is no-one seemed to be aware of any development outside of the agreement.

The meeting happened alright as I have reported.

Sir Rodney is the negotiator. Don't expect him to be spreading dirt, it's not his style. Happy with his role just now.

I still think we will eventually get our Stadium.
