I'll give you Whitwood then but altofts doesn't come under Cas.

If we go to court and win it would make no difference whether Box was in power or not, he couldn't do anything about it.

I shall vote Conservative 100%. Box has had enough chances. Box= destroy Trinity. Conservative = fresh start and ground delivered

Don't under estimate Box. Even if we win the council will still be heavily involved in the project through Highways, Planning, Safety etc.
The man will make life as difficult as possible.

Every councill officer is scared of him and every elected labour councillor dare not stand up to him. He is in total control.

Quite frankly I'd rather Trinity die (and myself for that matter) than ever vote Tory and if you think they will help us you are deluded. There must be another more palatable way to oust him

Out of interest how do you know 100% that the tories would deliver the ground?

What we 100% know is that a Labour controled council will never ever ever ever deliver the stadium. That is the only fact, Box will not deliver it. So do not vote Labour, vote anyone else, or if you can`t face, for what ever reason, voting for any other party, then for the good of Trinity, for the love of Trinity .... don`t vote or deface your ballot paper. Then make yourself feel better , if required , vote Labour in the General election. As I say I am not making a political point. The only fact is that a Wakefield council contolled by the local labour party lead by Box will not deliver the stadium..... and thats a fact

I think that saying any other party WILL deliver the new ground is a quantum leap.
All we do know is that the current range of local government officers have not helped delivery of the new ground.
Of course, ALL opposition MP's and councillors sound helpful but, they all want their time in power and as everyone knows, politicians of all colours
are not known for keeping pre election promises.
BUT from what we heard last night, our local council, at present, want nothing to do with the community stadium at Newmarket, and said as much
to Sandal, when he questioned Mr Box on Radio Leeds.

Finally, no politician wants to lose their seat and this means that the next few weeks give people a window to exert maximum pressure on their
local representatives.

Def: Politics (noun) Poli derived from poly meaning many. Tics a blood sucking insect #fact

I have contacted my councillor and pointed out how I feel about the issue and said that for the first time in my life I will be voting Conservative at the local elections.
I await his response as I asked him also to raise the issue at council meetings.
Will see if he has any 'bottle'.

Theres nothing wrong with Labour, they have some hard working councillors, problem is they are all afraid of Box.
Like Belly said its not about voting Tory its a matter of outing that maggot Box. Once he goes you probably will see a much
improved Labour Party operating for the good of Wakefield.

I think this is a salient point, i know my councillor is a labour rep and he is a hard working fella who has done good things for my area. I feel it would be churlish not to vote for him based purely on what one idiot who rules the roost does to feather his own castleford nest. I will be voting for him as he has done a good job but what i will do is get into his ribs about who they are electing as their leader.

All those that live in Wakefield area should email, phone or write to their local MP and councillor and complain to both demanding that they make representations and respond to them. This type of pressure I know works due to my current area of work. A standardised letter that could be copied by all fans would be the quickest and consistent way of doing it.....


Would Sky Boots n All or Toby Foster on BBC Inside Out do a feature on it?

yes, thats it keep voting labour and get absolutly nothing.

Inside out is a idea.

Quote ="roverman"yes, thats it keep voting labour and get absolutly nothing.'" All politicians are the same and anyone that thinks otherwise is deluded. It's pressure around the specific issue of the stadium fiasco that is required.... What about a complaint against the council via the Local Government Ombudsman Scheme? www.lgo.org.uk BBC TV Inside Out Twitter Page will be monitored by BBC researchers...... https://mobile.twitter.com/BBCInsideOutYL

im, not deluded i will use my vote and vote against the labour party they are the party in power in wakefield and they dont give a damm about the stadium or wakefield trinity.the proof is there for everyone to see.vote labour and you will get what youve been getting nothing.

Vote for the others and you'll get the same...it's about doing things that highlight the issue through the media, through investigative organisations like the Local Ombudsman or pressurising those MPs and Councillors in power to do something for their money. Casting a vote does not address any of this. Can't see it in anyone's manifesto about the stadium fiasco and even if it was they don't honour everything in manifesto's.

I understand your point and respect it. However we are playing by the rules they have imposed upon us. I expect if you take that approach he will react with sympathy to what you say. However I can guarantee that if you tell him you respect what he has done but will not be voting for him because of the actions of Box it will have a greater affect on him and will definitely sting him into action.

exactly, its called democracy if you dont like what there doing you vote them out.

Great. Let's all vote Conservative or UKIP as they'll do a better job...

we might get more support.

All you have to do is look at Rotherham to see what happens in Labour rotten boroughs.

So the alternative is keep voting Labour under any circumstances
