is that a former double glazing salesman and bricklayer believe they can acquire green space land and then flog it for property development purposes.
For starters, it's illegal to sell off designated green space land for anything other than remaining designated green space land without the dodgy, and arguably criminal complicity of a range of potential dodgy professionals like lawyers, council chiefs and planning officers for instance who may, or may not in some instances, be allegedly swayed by the surreptitious acquisition of the contents unofficially sanctioned brown envelopes.
Then there's the not insubstantial issue of dealing with close to a thousand extremely irate middle and upper middle class folk who reside in Weetwood and elsewhere, who sit on lots of local, civic committees, who have all submitted objections to plans to sell off valuable green space which isn't Leeds C.F & A's to sell, other than for the purpose of remaining a green space area.
The former double glazing salesman and bricklayer have underestimated the power of that particular middle and upper middle class bourgeois demographic because they are used to dealing with those who wouldn't know how to organise any resistance if their lives depended upon it - e.g., Rhinos fans whose opinions rarely stretch beyond grovelling subservience to the aforementioned former double glazing salesman in particular.
YCCC can go do one as well.
The Leeds C.F & A company need to fund the new stands another way. After all, they are the best run club in Super League who make regular profits... aren't they? With manageable liabilities? Aren't they?
How many shelved redevopments of both north and south stands has there been during the past decade? So many that a number of fans here would be incapable of countng that high
Tetley Field Opposition Residents by plenty!
