To be fair the press release should have made a mention of Newmarket still being the clubs plan A and the BV development just being a temporary measure.

Maybe so. By all accounts Radio Leeds have been mis reporting. This is the clubs response on Facebook.
Quote Radio Leeds said that Newmarket has been scrapped this morning. This is certainly not the case! The radio station got the wrong end of the stick completely - we are redeveloping The Rapid Solicitors Stadium so that whilst we are waiting for Newmarket we can be playing in a Super League compliant stadium fit for our fantastic city and our fantastic team!'"

Maybe, but nowhere other than in reports written by crap journalists is it written that Newmarket is scrapped, so in the absence of such BIG news they've just made it up!
Incompetent!

Nope which is why all press releases have to be as clear & simple as possible for them to understand! They will always look for a story even if there isn't one so you got to get everything watertight.

| Everybody needs to get their hand in their pocket and join the lottery whether thet are a member already or not.I am a season ticket holder,our lass a silver member and young un a gold but all will be joining the lottery indeed we adults joined last night.
AG is putting his hand in his pocket to redevelop BV after only been in charge since Feb yet TR never did it in 20 years knowing eventually it would cost our top flight status.
SO FOR ALL YOU SO CALLED FANS IT IS £2 PER WEEK TO SAVE OUR SL STATUS,AG IS PUTTING IN 100'S OF THOUSANDS.
Also I believe this will put us in front of Cas, admin or not cos of AG due to the fact Red Hall have been listening to RW drivel for years and he still ain't delivered,whereas AG is putting his money where his mouth is.
The difference between us now and Widnes last time is that we are already in SL so why should we be given the boot if we meet what the RL want?

I sort of agree with your view here.
The problem is, in modern journalism and a 24 hour news culture, things move quickly and the speed of the story is important for many media outlets such as websites and radio. Also, journalism and journalists are not what they used to be. The need to fact check has become secondary to the speed of the news itself. So, our young reporter here at the YP is probably a junior member of the website team, his news editor throws a press release and story at him, which he then uses the internet to research and does not bother picking up the phone to James or the club at all. That is ok to him, other news outlets are reporting they have shelved Newmarket, that was not clear in the press release, so we will run with that... someone must have checked this before me??? Err, no, someone, somewhere made an assumption and now the whole media circus is reporting this as a fact because the story is not big enough or worth the time for the website reporter to check any further... he is now writing his 10th story of the day for the website about some Mum's wanting a pedestrian crossing on a dangerous bit of road.
This can also work the other way and I must admit, RW and Cas seem to do well here!
Remember how Cas had SOLD WR for £50m the other week... it was on the BBC main website for gods sake, it must be true! Of course it wasn't, the reporter at the BBC website (paid slightly more money than the guy at the YP and lives in London) made some assumptions. To be fair to Cas, the press release didn't say that at all, it said the development value was worth £50m, which is probably true! However, quick as a flash in the rush to report the story the whole of the media are reporting this as being a fact... even Sky News, who probably should have just picked up the phone to the sports department and fact checked it with them and got the right answer. But now the BBC have said...
You need to be very clear about key messages and I think you are right, that it was not clear enough and now this is the result!

Also iirc, the operational rules say that any club starting legal action against the sport's governing body would be immediately suspended from all RFL sanctioned competition. If Trinity sued the RFL because they didn't get a licence, the club would find itself unable to get a game, even in the Pennine League …'" That is how I belive it is as well.
I have mentioned this in the past on here and I got shouted down over it!

Re the conservatory framework on the bit of West Terrace nearest the boxes, I presume that's a freebie from AG or is he supplying it at cost.
North Stand should look good though.

You do know that work to extend the east stand (adding 1.6K on the capacity figure) has already been started don't you?
You do know it is 1 stand so not 'stands' and that is getting moved over to the other end with it being roofed off in is premanet home and it will only be used as an overflow stand dont you?
You do know that planning is accepted and funding is in place and all set to go any day now for our new £6M north stand dont you?
This work will be started BEFORE the franchises are given out.
We will have 12k, ALL underoof, All apart from 1 stand as seating,

Not for a second do i believe it would end in legal action.
However it doesnt matter a jot what the operational rules say or indeed what they signed up for.
No operational rules can remove your right to a legal challenge.
In theory if the RFL tried to enforce and not allow Wakefield to compete in an RFL comp,Wakefield could retaliate by gaining an injuction for the competition to be suspended until the matter is resolved.

Not if the signing away of that right was deemed to be unfair; something to do with contract law and unfair terms I think, but I don't remember the details.
Anyhow - please join the queue of people who are wishing for us to fail; Castlefax are way in front of you, so wait your turn.

But the merits of wether the RFL have the right to act in such manner and force clubs to sign, would have to be explored.

The Operational Rules do not remove the right to a legal challenge. They simply state the procedure that applies in the case of a club issuing one.
Quote ="TURFEDOUT"In theory if the RFL tried to enforce and not allow Wakefield to compete in an RFL comp,Wakefield could retaliate by gaining an injuction for the competition to be suspended until the matter is resolved.'"
On what grounds, exactly? They agreed to the terms and conditions of the Operational Rules, including suspension from competition if in legal dispute with the Governing Body. The time to challenge that condition was before agreeing to it.

Surely it depends on whether the contract contains clauses that aren't legally binding or enforceable? I'm not saying that's necessarily the case here, though. I don't know. Just making the point.

What doesn't help is I can't find mention of Newmarket in the story on the club's website...very poorly written.

When did the RFL force clubs to sign? How would 'force' be demonstrated, let alone proved?
Why do people continue to fool themselves about potential legal action when no laws have been broken?
