My gut is telling me that Eric Pickles office will notify Wakefield MDC at some point this coming week of their decision on Newmarket! Before you ask, no, I don't have any inside information and I don't know for sure it will be this next week, it is just because this is the final full week of parliament as they break for Christmas recess on Tuesday 21st December, until 10th January 2011. I would be highly, highly surprised if they let it run over the Christmas break!

So, fingers and everything crossed!

that is some break that

Better than being a teacher and that takes some doing. (cue Sandal Wildcat

are but he'll be working at home ticking pages

here in aus... the private schools broke up last week and dont go back until February...

Even my boys finish on Wed for the summer (37 degrees yesterday!) and dont return until end Jan...

really hope the news comes this week....

Fingers crossed for a positive result.

Not as good as the 17th (but the 17th is a non attending training day- so it's really the 16th!) to the 10th!!!

You off until 10th??????????

Don't worry IA my thinking is that it's nailed on





By the way - Merry Christmas

Just hope he is in the xmas spirit. imagine if the answer was no it would make it a bad xmas for all of us fans and 99% of the wakey public. Surely it will be a yes. Conservatives slogan is "build for the future " so lets see it.

I am personally yes. The beauty of continued development my friend.

Which is good news for Leeds too.
Expect development the other side of the motorway to materialise in next to no time.
More jobs, more prosperity!

I can't decide whether you are being sarcastic or not about the nailed on bit, but I am confident it will be simply returned to Wakefield... but... you never know till the letter arrives!



Why are you wishing me a Merry Christmas now... you could just wait for the decision to gloat or not, as the case may be?

Just in case you are not going to around, Merry Christmas to you also!

Not being sarcastic at all. It's what i think will happen when I look deeper into the powers that be at this moment in time.

Wish I was a student again and I would be revolting







(He said waiting for the usual replies)

I understand June Fender is planning to cancel Christmas in Methley if things don't the way she would like... so I don't know about a revolt, but she could do with a hand taking down the Christmas tree at the community centre?



On a serious note, she should not be left alone in the kitchen over Christmas, they might find her with her head in the oven!!!

Makes a change from up her arris

Who is June Fender?

I think she is related to the Gibson brothers... Les and Paul.

Sandal Wild Cat's nomination of post of the millennium.
I know it's only 2010 but I can't see a post topping that!

Just spat coffee all over reading that!! Good post AI!!!

On a serious note there has been more meat put to the bones of the Localism bill over the weekend.
I honestly believe NM could (and should) be used as a shining example to other councils of how to fund essential local facilities in a time when the purse strings are tight enough to snap!

If we look at ours and Salford's projects as isolated case studies:
Case A has been funded virtually by local council borrowing, while case B will be funded from the private sector by a rather large section 106 agreement.
One of the cases in the eyes of our political leaders harks back to the days of new Labour and run away borrowing, while the other has been developed in a cooperative & proactive manner between the local council and local developer.

Question; which fit's with the "BIG SOCIETY" we're hearing so much of these days?

In the style of Sun Bed Kid,
I have just seen her coming out of the Kingdom Hall car park in a Face The Future Vauxhall nova!!

Face the future? Face that only a Mother could love more like!

Seriously though, how ironic is that name Face the Future!!

I certainly hope there will be some positive news soon. There just seems to be an assumption in so many threads on message boards that it will be us getting booted out when the next franchises come along (Cas hardly ever mentioned for some strange reason). We need a big boost and SOON.

Fortunately the people discussing licenses on the various forums don't get to choose who's in and who's out.

If the stadium is a goer there will still be the sceptics, but if it does come off and Trinity do get a license then it will make it all the more sweeter knowing how many people Trinity are p!ssing off just by refusing to go away.
