I'm booking morning off work. Couldn't make it last time, not missing it this time!

Finish my nightshift at 6am, and should be getting some zzz's, but I'll be there....who needs sleep anyway..

Just read a lovely and poetic rant on that other Cas site 'Wakey Planning' thread, total poppycock but poetic all the same.

Apparently Newmarket colliery is now almost a wildlife preserve and lots of ramblers and walkers who don't want to pollute the air by using their cars to drive into the Dales now use Newmarket as a substitute.

Apparently all Wakefield fans who say that Newmarket isn't used for fly tipping and say its an eyesore are being economical with the truth. There's beauty and serenity at Newmarket but no rubbish and it's not an industrial wasteland.

After reading this I felt moved, I felt ashamed!

So I did as the poster suggested and I went to Google earth and took another look at the site, I was puzzled by something, lots of speckles all over the site!
What on earth could that be, some kind of rare plant I thought, maybe a flock of rare wild birds resting in Eden like beauty, serenity and safety of this natural sanctuary!

Intrigued I zoomed in only to have my illusions shattered by the sight of hundreds of old rubber tyres scattered all over the place!

Give me a break!

So cas have a thread on their own forum dedicated to the Wakefield & district community Stadium. The rumour of it being their new home must be true then or they're obsessed with us and our City

They make very fine substitute nests for all the Ospreys down there.

The time is upon us. The wheels are in motion and are turning quite nicely,well oiled might i had, and the engine finely tuned.

Due to stringent animal welfare regulations these days (PC gone mad etc etc etc!!), the tyres are there to occupy and entertain the large numbers of unicorns that graze on the vast and lush pastures of the newmarket plains.
Said plains are a real sight to see, as are the grazing unicorns, playfully tossing the worn out bridgestones as they engage in a bout of unicorn hoopla.
It truly is a wonderful sight!!!!

.....

Could they be Giant Otter droppings ?

Hmmm.... they're certainly the right colour



I take it you've all had lunch, btw...

Thats just put me off my hot roast pork butty!!!!!!

If it looks like the otter droppings, you're better off not eating it anyway.

oh dear it could be bull poop

There will be a good strong supportive turn out on tues by Wakefield Trinity supporters and by the unemployed who are seeking and want work. What a great opportunity for the youth of today who want apprenticeships in the construction industry,and people who want work in the Hotel and commercial sectors etc. 500 construction jobs and 2000 jobs created upon completion of the development. Surley its government policy to reduce the dole que in the Wakefield area where figures are totaly unacceptable.

Looking forward to tues hope to see you all at the Townhall.

Thats spin if ever I saw it. I have seen this referred to but being realistic wharehouse units dont emply large numbers of staff completely the opposite infact. The good news is there will be opportunities for people to get work and with people working it will be positive on the local economy.

Factual spin might i had the figures are accurate.

The 2,000 and 500 numbers are widely quoted and are based on full occupation of the site, but yes, they are achievable.

Yet more positive news ousing out of Wakefield leading up to the public enquiry. Congratulations to all concerned re temp stands installation for a two year period.

IA have you seen the 67 page document on the council planning portal from June Fender and co. There are all sorts of allegations from Box having a conflict of interest cos he used to be a consultant for the firm who cleaned the NM site up, to your letter of support being riddled with inaccuracies and at best misleading!!!

Just wondered what you thought of it all.

Imaterial Wakefield council are intersted in creating jobs that cost nothing and tick the right boxes. The outcome of the enquiry will be purlely a government decision and not a Wakefield council decision.

WOW

Wow =Wakefield council owe Wakefield a future

I reckon I can let you know a shortened version of his reply - 'not a lot'!

I've just had a read of that 67 page document and they should have basically called it 'NIMBY' a case study, it's comical to say the least. I love the bit where they state that, Trinity don't need a stadium because Cas have one and apparently if we joined in with them, it would automatically be built.


The amount of far reaching statements they come out with is unreal, they're even still trying to make out that match days will cause problems for Pinderfields hospital A&E department, they don't seem to understand that match days aren't played during rush hour and the majority of the time on the weekends.
