There is no 'positive news' yet, other than the fact that we have a good team on our side and a strong case. However, I am keen to stress that there will be no 'positive news' unless we remain focussed on the battle that lies ahead.

As with Australia today, our biggest enemy is complacency!

Is there anything we can do to support SWAG in the coming weeks for the PI. I know we've done the petitions filled in the forms but is there any more meetings or things we can still be doing in support of the project. We need to make sure no stone is left unturned in getting Wakefield a stadium

Get yourselves (and anybody else you can coerce) to into town on the 6th of December for the start of the PI.
1 month and a day to go. Get your swords and shields ready Dreadnoughts!

The main focus will be on the 6th December, but there may be other things that supporters can help with. There is a meeting next week to get the strategy agreed and we'll let people know after that.

Any ideas welcome though!

The key for me is that the emphasis is on the community use so as well as getting as many wakey fans there on 6th December, we need to try and get some representation from community clubs and local schools who will also benefit from the facilities that NM has to offer.

A very good point - thank you.

well done trb

A demonstration is fine providing it carries the right messages,ie the Wakefield community care about a community stadium and it benefiting the community etc. One disadvantage is a demonstration can easily be hijacked by the opossition for their own selfish needs and generate the wrong message. A demonstation of such importance must be carefully executed with only the right people being informed who care good luck.

Should we be at the town hall on the 6th of December? We need to advertise this and rally the troops. Wakefield club website? Lets Do this !! Show people we have the stamina and see it through to the end.

I can arrange parking facilities a short walk away, if a Newmarket "media focused" ramble were to be arranged on the public footpaths etc.
The stadium would be here click click click, the training facilities would be here, click click click, look at all the supporters and interested parties present, click click click etc etc etc.

Every one going to the demonstation must attend the meetings arranged by the organisers. Every one must be co-ordinated and know their positions and more importantly know what to do should a hijack occur. Remember the motto together we are stonger.(Devided we fall)

and don't forget your ski masks

We would like a peacefull demonstration and a well organised one thank you.

Got my letter today about the stadium, organisers need to be put in place, and a meeting with the fans should be arranged, we need a large venue, we need to do this right, WTID

I also got a letter regarding PI today from WMDC.

On the other Cas forum there is talk of the inquiry being hijacked by protesters,they also mention Mike Harding the folk singer visiting Newmarket to inspect the site.He is performing in Wakefield and apparenly has something to do with the ramblers association.Anybody else heard anything about this?

Nice to see positive preparations in an organised manner. Which could lead ta a positive outcome.

Just shows how sad and pathetic the losers are. Thing is with that inbred lot I think it's more the majority than the minority as well. What this really shows is they realise the truth and that we have a greater chance of getting the build and they are being led down many a garden path by tricky dicky, this un turn is making them very nervous and they are now more intent on seeing us fail than seeing themselves succeed.

Its the mostly the same bunch who post on the Cas forum, some are obvious and others harder to spot.

And its seems they are a touch worried, well the ones who can figure out that all is not well with RW and the boys down the lane.

Of course one of them is putting on a brave face on both forums but you can see its slowly sinking in

Poor old alf

Got the 6th booked off work & doing my bit to support the future of sport in the City of Wakefield for generations to come supporting the Newmarket community project let's not be conplacent and get outside the townhall like we did a year ago. Wakefield love this city

Is this purely a SWAG thing, or will the club be adding players/coaches/CEOs and owners to the list?

Mike Harding is in Wakefield on the 19th November. I think perhaps people are making links that aren't there.

He's here for my birthday slugger!

That's the one thing I haven't got is why the cas fans are desperate for us not to get a new stadium. I'll never forget the reaction on the independent ginner forum when the community stadium got called in last december they loved it, must be the small town mentality. Anyway thought everything was moving on fine with GH and opus were the saviours getting the best price ever for wheldon road and it was all sorted just a case of dotting the I's and crossing the t's so why do they feel so insecure about our city & district community stadium
