Walker shouldn't be anywhere near the ground issue after recent events.

Working for free and Fly Tipping the waste then?

I enquired about the cellar chillers to find the gas pipes had been cut which would of released into the atmosphere

that is illegal

We shouldn't be surprised.

Vote conservative at local elections in may give labour a bloody nose.

I agree with that

A rock solid argument must have being put to MC for him not to buy it

Essentially Walker lied

Carter has pubilcally stated Walker told him not to buy the ground

I'm just so glad we own our ground again
And have plans to develope it
It feels like we have a future again

Well you don’t agree with it then? As the fault clearly does lay with Walker, poptart appears to suggest it doesn’t.

I'm saying there is more to it otherwise it as I find it hard to believe it's as simply as SRW just saying "trust me, don't bid"....... But if he did, the person who did just trust a blind promise made a big mistake and shares responsibility.

True but trusting the chairman of the Trust and a Knight of the Realm if you buy into that stuff is hardly a blind promise is it? In business as in life you have to trust people on occasions, if we didn’t nothing would ever happen and at this point Rodders still had some credibility So no they don’t share the responsibility, someone has clearly been dishonest, the fact someone else has believed them doesn’t excuse it.

Sure I saw Yosser Hughes there in his "high vis vest"

any work on the renovations began yet?

No not yet, however I do try an keep up to date on the latest developments in this saga, so my best guess is that we shall start to see progress around the same time as we win the grand final.

Personally, i would think it would be difficult, logistically, for any work to be done on the stadium while the season is ongoing, and were playing there.

Also, are there any funds in place as yet, to even start any work?

I’d say it would be difficult to do any work until we have some money! Which I think is the point PB is making.

Got told a while ago that one of businessmen hows interested in Wakefield fc is walkers mate

We seem to have been stuffed! I think that's the message reading between the lines.
That said, MC and Co. at the club must have believed purchasing the ground as the best option and must surely have thoughts as to how rebuilding can be financed.
MC has been the club's saviour for a number of years now and I trust his judgement.

Did he have an hard hat on? Always a good sign......Isn't it?

Apparently Peter Box in on Liz Green's programme on Radio Leeds today.

Is she any better to listen to than that Gale Lofthouse. Her awful accent and Witch-like cackle goes right through me if I accidently tune in on the way home from work.

Young Yosser pre-dates the hi-vis plague but the approach to H&S of his time, .was well matched on the demolition of Superbowl, not an item of ppe to be seen and blokes wandering over the roof harness free

No we've not been stuffed, well we have over all but not on this individual decision.

Taken by itself, it just had to happen.

In pure RL terms we needed to own the ground or eventually we would become some broken nomad club like Oldham. A crap ground is still better than no ground.

In a business sense paying rent on a dump was a no brainer, it was a total waste of money. At least paying money over 15 years in the knowledge that you will eventually own it and thus have an asset makes total sense to me.

To quote Churchill "This is not the end; it is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Nobody in their right mind can claim we have won a victory or that justice has been done, or not yet anyway.

Yet we simply had to do something or die. At least now we have a rallying point, a positive of sorts, something tangible that we can plan for, raise money for, care about, and dream about eventually feeling proud of.

We now all need to turn our energies into supporting the club in whatever they decide to do. Just look at Featherstone if you don't think its possible, the fans there made a huge difference and there are less of them than us.

Up the Trin.

sorry

I did hear once of someone who tied himself to a rope that was attached to his car on the other side of his house while he did some work, his wife decided to go to shop and proceeded to drag him off unknown what he had done

Well, I agree with this Vasty, perhaps now that we own the ground there may be some sort of fund raising effort?
I think lots of supporters would be willing to support such, I would for one. I'm aware that a car boot sale won't do it every bit would help.

I suggest Mr Carter offer a life membership and a free replica shirt to that guy who won £71,000,000 on the Euro lottery t'other week!!!

With the announcement of the new sponsors, if this is a much bigger deal than the one we had in place, surely this could help towards some of the funding of the re development of BV
