Did I not see a Tweet earlier suggesting that the Inspector found it rather amusing?

No need to be po-faced about the Inquiry; you could even argue that DC represents a massively important part of what WTW brings to the local community, as a spearhead of the work that the club does in schools across the district.

if it went well then i retract it!
not a risk i would have taken though.

i also take your point on board too.

I think it's fine that he turns up today during the latter stages of the final summing up.

The rest of the inquiry has been very very professional and a timely reminder from DC that this is as much about the kids and communities as it is about councils at war and greenbelt is OK by me.

I hope DC was taking notes!

I secretly hoped that he'd be doing somersaults at the back, handing sweets out to the audience and goading the objectors with some classic DC moves.

Could have turned up the other day with his water pistol and drenched that June Fender

Sounds like it is all done and dusted now

One of the tweets that made me smile today was the comment from the Yorkcourt barrister that Belle Vue was 'fit for purpose' ...... in 1900

Say what they want, but I still love the old girl

Overall I think things have gone well for us. The mysterious Mr Gubbage made another last minute attempt to throw a spanner in the works but that was about it. In fact the guy has probably been their best objector but he made the mistake of leaving his concerns too late in the day IMHO.

Soon be back to rugby and we can now put all this on the back burner and hope for PP granting in the spring.

I don't get the whole Twitter thing

What's with all the '@soandso' and half messages? It reads like a twelve-year-old's text message inbox!

Well its fingers crossed time and it sounds as though it has gone as well as could be expected. Lets hope sense prevails and it gets the green light and the stadium development proceeds as promised. Time will tell on both those hopes. Lets hopethe LDF review goes our way in january to help matters along.

Glad its done with now and we can concentrate on something else for a while. Like rugby!

The @ is the user name of a person eg I am @djcool62
The hash tags # allow trends and search of a theme to happen, short messages because you are usually restricted to 144 characters

Why start a name with '@' though

I don't get it. Thanks for trying to explain though.

Nope


It just seems like a backwards way to communicate to me, short messages, random names etc, I don't see the point when there are far better methods (in my opinion) to communicate with the masses out there. It's like the Internet going back to the standard of mobile phones when I first got one in the '90s.
Anyway, enough about me, sorry for moving off topic.

Isn't it today when the inspector visits Belle Vue?
Lovely day for it! Make him stand on the North terrace where I've stood for the last forty odd years and he will see why we need better facilities

Is now an appropriate time to mention .............. The Puddle

Yes it'll be good for him to see just how lovely an area Newmarket is, stood in an old pit site, in the pouring rain in the middle of winter....

Still he'll be able to use the wonderful facilities we could share at Glasshoughton to dry out. Oh hang on...

I went yesterday to the PI and I heard the back end of something. Am I correct in thinking the trigger has changed for the start of the stadium. From it being built at the start of the development to being built when a third of the units are built and let. Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick but it sounded like that to me. IA please help?

There has been a fair bit of debate about the terminology, some suggest the situation you describe, but others suggest the agreements to use the units are all that are needed, not necessarily up and running. Time will tell which turns out to be accurate, assuming all goes well with the PI.

Are we having a new record for next year?? Obsession isn't good for the soul.

Merry Xmas To ALL WTW fans hope next year brings us all what we want(Starting Jan with some bloody rugby

)

To be honest that was a pop at Leeds City Council and the NIMBYs who insist we can share a ground that isn't built and has no guarentees that it will in the time frame required to save us! But yes you're right its got boring now and its my last comment on the matter until the decision is made. I got involved in this sport because I had a passion for rugby league, not sodding planning applications!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to ALL.

That says it all, Most of us did and that's why were still here after all the BS our chairman's old in ur case present in ours threw at us.

I genuinely think 2012 will be better for both our clubs for many reasons.

Happy New Year to you too.

time

Ok thanks.
