| Yeah, that big scoreboard advertising Melbourne Ales. I always felt very sorry for that poor guy who hung the numbers on the board as the score changed; especially in winter. He used to get loud jeers from the crowd when he put the wrong score up. Good memories eh???

I would love that to happen, but before February 21st I doubt it very much. After all these years of false promises, I don’t trust our own council or any of the developers to deliver the promises made to the Wakefield citizens. We all need to keep ahead of Council/developers and oppose any applications on the Newmarket site until we have the developers money in the Trust account.

| If the council are to buy BV this would make sense of their backing given to the alternative trust.
With Rodders and Eric Timmins involved who are their masters?
Would be the council before Trinity despite their past allegiances.
Need to read any small print this time round.
What is Manni getting out of the sale and what will Yorkcourt be contributing?

| Wonder if the council have decided to take out a loan on Belle Vue with MC paying the interest as he offered earlier.
Plus point is we can start the rebuild but who gets the revenue from events sales?

Would imagine the Community Trust will run the stadium and we will be tenants in the community stadium.

Something I have been thinking about is the Community stadium was to be built by the developers at that time Yorkcourt, with Trinity as anchor tenants. If a stadium is then built,or Belle Vue redeveloped with monies from a source other than the developers as instructed by the Secretary of State, would any new stadium development be classed as a private venture. If this was the case, then would the stadium belong to the Trust,or to Wakefield Trinit.

Public money can't legally be given to private companies so the trust will need to be involved as was always the case at NM.
I have no problem with this as long as its the proper trust. If its the phoney trust then all it will be is a vehicle so that some greedy old men can use it to line their own pockets.

Me and my 2 mates did it after him...we started off doing it for the A-team games on a Saturday afternoon and when he retired we got asked if we wanted to do it for the first team
We were disappointed when they finally knocked it down as it was the best seat in the ground (imagine the view from the roof of the Northstand now), but it was a bit lairy in high winds and it wasn't un-common for one of the numbers to occasionally fly off...they could easily have killed someone

We could threaten to "emigrate" and set up on continental Europe, that would secure £millions in government grants

So after 15 years and countless explanations on here and in the media you still can't work it out.Well I'm not going to tell you - I personally don't know IF it will happen but I do have enough nous to work out HOW.

| I would say if a bookie was laying bets on funding re development the odds would look something like this.
No one will fund it 1/100 fav
yorkcourt 100/1
WMDC 1000/1
The club 1000000000/1
My bet would be if I could lay one.
The club to get back the ground by way of a loan guarantee from the council plus a little bit of financial input as well.
Once the pig in a poke that is Belle Vue is in the hands of the club all goodwill disappears and we are left with a massive headache of how to make the place acceptable.
I know this is highly pessimistic and I would love to be wrong. But history should tell us the eventual outcome of any deal that relies on Box and yorkcourt

Similar to how I see it. Wary, as I’m sure michael and the trust are of the timing and the detail behind. What impact would it have on Yorkcourts supposed commitments etc. Belle Vue with no finances to develop will leave us in as bad a position as we are today

| I've got a great idea! Why don't we get a roup of interested parties to approach the Council, who in turn could invite a private wealthy speculator to purchase some green belt land somewhere in the Stanley/ Methley area, say. They could then build a massive building, say, like a big fridge. With all the money that the speculator would make, they could then build Trinity a lovely new ground We could even let some other sports minded people and members of the public use it. To overcome the green belt problem Sidney Carton ...er I mean Peter Box could ask a A big, overweight politician to overlook that little problem and let the speculator off planning permission. Then with all the money coming to Trin we would have a great new ground in about two years time. No problem!!
I think it's a superb idea. Who agrees????
OR
We could just stay at Belle Vue!!!
