Now the election is over,the Silence from local politicians is deafening. I've just tweeted the local government minister the piece by Jeremy Cross and asking him if Wakefield Council should be looked into

Surprise surprise

I can't 100% remember what I said in my post some months ago regarding the amount I would contribute to legal costs/crowdfunding, but I'm willing to put in £1k and a few prominent regular posters on here know exactly who I am, so I can't get out of that now


So come on everyone lets get this ball rolling to show WMDC/Yorkcourt/Cllr Peter Box and SRW we do mean business

BTW I have written to all 3 of my councillors and MP today to give them a kick up the bum too as I wrote to them on April 5th and got assurances then that appear to have not come to fruition

Something rotten is going on here. I know the GE is over, but Trinity need help! #brokenpromise

If so it's a massive gamble if the Cas ground doesn't come to fruition, and there is a good chance it won't, though I hope I'm wrong.. The district could then see us losing not one, but two Super League clubs.

Sounds good to me.

Bombard the people you did before the election. Our current MP won't answer my texts!!

Emailed my 3 councillors.

No surprise given she voted against the views of the majority of her constituents on the BREXIT issue. She has spent too long in London and appears to have bigger fish to fry

I will back the trust and the club in whatever action it is deemed necessary to take. Echoing others, I am more than happy to contribute money to the cause when required.

Next Local Elections May 2018. Next General Election - who knows when?

Write to everyone, including Corbyn.

Its Radio Yorkshire rugby League Show tonight, it might be an idea to remind them of our struggle

Full copy of the Heads of Terms have been posted on Facebook by Jonathan Stone.

Have a look and you can see what a crock of poop they are and why they are unacceptable. Also this pile of pap took the Council and Yorkcourt over 5 weeks to produce.

I agree a 5 year old could have written a better HoT in about 15 minutes. Problem is Box his relationship with Mackie going back over a number of years is too cosy for him to rock the boat now.

Just had a quick look at the heads of terms posted by the trust on twitter and main points I can see are names Walkers trust not the existing one and ties the trigger to build the stadium as when YC have planning approval for housing and built enough to fund the stadium build. No mention of this been on top of the newcold development to reach the original trigger point either.

Utterly depressing. I will join the protests but in all honesty, I suspect this will get us nowhere. As has been the strong likelihood all along, this stadium will not be built. It was never going to be built. I think the future of Wakefield Trinity now needs to be looked at over a far longer period. It is quite likely that we will lose our SL place. It is likely we will have to operate as guests elsewhere in the short to medium term. I do think we can get through this but it will, sadly, take a long time. I hope Michael Carter will stay with us on this but I would not blame him if he didn't. He has been the best leader we have had in my 47 years as a supporter. We need to look at other ways of getting a new stadium in Wakefield. 10 Million is not an insurmountable figure given enough time and somewhere to build the stadium. I think we need to enjoy our temporary swansong and plan for a longer haul away from this bunch of schisters. I am sick of them, heartily sick. I hope they get exposed and are made to account for their actions and if necessary, pay for their actions. But sadly I think we need to move on.

You would think the council would learn not to allow YC to lay another brick without a watertight agreement in place

I can't argue with anything you have just posted but I can help you with the time scale. We will only begin to think about a stadium once Box is no longer in power. Whilst ever he has control of our City he will do all in his power to make sure we get nothing.
When he eventually leaves then we may start to dream.

Wow!
This is a totally different project. Are the houses as well as or instead of distribution warehouses?
No mention of community sports facilities?
Is a charitable trust also a limited company?

This is a really sad thing to think about but maybe it's time we did leave Wakefield and go somewhere where there is a better council.

I have to say i agree, it is now blatantly obvious that there is never going to be a stadium built no matter what action we take. I think we better get used to Dewsbury for a while. There is zero chance of any progress to show the RFL so i've a feeling their patience will run out with us pretty soon even though it is not our fault.

Whatever you do don't request anything from that charlatan Mary Creagh. She ought to be charged with deception under the Trades Description Act. She is no more a Socialist than Margaret Thatcher was.
Although I live in Wakefield my MP is Hemsworth member, John Trickett. I'm sure he would show more interest in our plight than that champagne socialist.
After all it would be a community stadium for the use of Hemsworth residents also.
