Yes that would be a good result. However someone would have to step up and run the council.
I hope by now you are starting to recognise the calibre of the rest of the Labour councillors that prop up Box. That's the frightening bit !!!

I spent an hour or so reading some of those applications, particularly Yorkcourts/Council and those related to them and to say it made me angry is a bit of an understatement. The way they manipulated & used the good faith of the Wakefield public and in particular Trinity supporters, to back the project (which wouldn't have obviously happened without our backing and the S106). Apart from all the warehousing that was supposed to create 2000 jobs or whatever the number was (which they haven't got clse to reaching), it was also piggy backed off it all being about improving the Sporting facilities of Wakefield. The talk of obesity in children being a problem and quality sporting facilities in solving that is crucial etc. Plus all the other facilities that would get used by the Community, Wakefield College and maybe Carnegie as well was mentioned . Plus getting a Stadium built for the City of Wakefield's last & only professional sports team, so they could flourish etc. Makes me sick.

Just seen a tweet from Manni confirming that the club will stay in the city.

Nothing confirmed though by the club.

Maybe Fordy was right with his comment earlier today when he was advised an agreement had been reached

Where’s this??

The councils problems stem from both what is documented or can be evidenced and what can’t. Things that should be documented aren’t and things that are do not reflect well on them

Imo that is why box has suddenly distanced himself from the situation probably in th3 hope he can blame someone else. Unfortunately for him some of his faux pas are out there including his ridiculously repeated assertion that the s106 was nothing to do with the council! Something he was still repeating whilst his staff were no doubt negotiating the five town parks s106

Think he might be looking at a pinned tweet.

Yes, I think I was.

Apologies everyone there

"Colin Mackie, Managing Director of Yorkcourt Properties said: “The officers of the Council and Yorkcourt have worked very hard on this proposal to reach agreement, which is pleasing. As the Leader says, we have always and will continue to work closely together to continue our goal of bringing jobs and prosperity to Wakefield, which this scheme will provide. With the goodwill and support of all concerned we jointly believe we can deliver this scheme.”

So that's Newmarket swept under the carpet. Will there ever be a public statement from them as to why they won't honour their obligations at Newmarket ?

Where's this quote from???

The pertinent bit for me here I see that there has to be wider sporting facilities created - not just a Stadium!

We stopped going down a cul-de-sac that would have ended with a deal that would CERTAINLY have resulted in the club going bust! Is that what you wanted?

You really do have to wonder. With friends like that ...

I take it that there is no negotiations going on between parties involved on the building of the stadium

If it is found the the WMDC are proven guilty of the incompetence while going through the court action and its deemed that Councillor Box is at the root of all of it all, could he be prosecuted for the financial loss of the borough has had to spend from this fiasco IA

I suppose if this was the case then Misconduct in Public Office would be an option provided that there was evidende of misconduct not for a financial loss per se.

it would be one way of turning the table on the WMDC aiming at the top instead of him protecting himself with his minions, go straight for the gonads

all this waste of time of court action is not going to get us a stadium - just delaying further and further!!!

You've said this multiple times yet have you once offered an alternative?

I actually don't believe any course of action will result in a stadium ... this is about doing the right thing and standing up for yourself.

Stand up or sit down ... you choose .. but STFU

Not taking court action definitely won't get us a stadium.

I've been involved in court cases for more than twenty years. I can guarantee that I've been involved in more court cases than the amount of rugby games you've watched in your whole lifetime. Some get lost. Some get won. More importantly, some have the effect of focussing minds on producing an outcome both sides are content with.

I had said a solution - sell our license to New York- NEW YORK TRINITY!!!!! play our away games somewhere in West Yorkshire and they will be like home games for our home supporters now...

trinity name is kept as well as all the history of the club

what is your guys alternative for our immediate future which at present is looky shakey.... imagine the money THIS WOULD bring?

MC fancy being the chairmen of NEW YORK?

I think I preferred it when you weren’t offering an alternative
