Has anyone else had the misfortune of meeting him? I have, and he is vile as they come. The day when he is pushing up the daisies couldn't come soon enough.

Not personally but my late father in law was at Wakey council whilst he was emerging through the ranks and counlsn't stand him. Said he was the most bloody minded and stubborn person (well it wasn't person he used) he had ever met and was only interested in one thing, himself.

The offer will be to be the BOI not Box, i expect he will be aware of it though. I guess whether it is accepted depends on them and the bidder, nothing else.

The offer to buy is nothing to do with Box.
Not sure why he is even being discussed here.

How's about this for a continuation of the conspiracy.

Box in his position will aware of a variety of potential investors wishing to buy land for developments across the district.

He gets one and pushes them toward a potential deal and partnerships which ultimately becomes the deal which is funding Castlefords new stadium build.

On the other side of the coin, he's aware that Wakefield position is extremely precarious and that if BoI get the right buyer for Belle Vue it will see Wakefield Trinity homeless., so he actively seeks a potential buyer and steers them toward Belle Vue!

[iBigAlf or whatever he's called will love this post and after his thrice daily sweep of this forum he'll no doubt quote me on the Casforum site.[/i

Maybe because of this you posted earlier in this thread;

That makes more sense.

Sorry.... My fault!!!!!!
Spell check issue.

Should have just been someone has made BoI (Bank of Ireland) an offer.

I caused a bit of a fuss there didn't I. Sorry.

So just to make it clear.
Carter said he'd received bad news as someone had made an offer to Bank of Ireland to buy Belle Vue. He didn't think anything would come of it but it's there.
He was still hoping to talk to BoI about a deal for us.

Carter said it could be posted and is now open knowledge (until I stuffed up the message!)

Get ya!



Well, lets see what happens there then?

That's what happens when you terminate the contract it enables others to come in for the ground. If he has not been looking at alternative venues believing brinkmanship would work he had better start because I would think the BOI would be glad to see the back of it.

BoI could sell the ground regardless of whether or not we have given notice to end our tenancy.

I suppose BV might be a more attractive proposition for a developer without a sitting tenant.

It would be nice to know who has made the offer they have certainly acted very quick after MC gave notice to quit, do we have an unknown lottery winner in Wakey I don't see it but it would be nice if there was.

Or on receipt of our notice to quit early the bank have stepped up their efforts to sell the place.

I wonder if the offer for a 8,000 stadium is still on the table ,things have gone quiet on this

80000 seater its a start.but was it a genuine offer?

Wasn't there a clause in the BoI agreement that said they couldn't sell until we were playing somewhere else?

This would not apply when you voluntarily give notice to leave.

Seems like we will be.

There is a Stadium Trust meeting next week. There is much to discuss and any news we can give will follow that.

any hope of progress with developers and counsil please?

Not promising anything. It's tough going!

Welcome home, TRB, you didn't miss much !!

Not so sure about that, there's been plenty of speculation from the theorists', especially from the non Wakefield fans.
