Top draw response Sandal proud of you and your team

Brilliant response. At least 2-3 hours concentration and effort.
As far as Sir RMW is concerned. Why tarnish your reputation with the formation of an alternative trust.
Unless he has some Monty Pythonesque fetish, it's complete madness. What has gone on there?
Bloody minded madness.

We are most disappointed with the recent actions of the former Trust Chair, Sir Rodney Walker. Relationships between Sir Rodney and the other Trust Member had become increasing strained due to Sir Rodney having meetings with the Council and the Developer without inviting other Trust Members to attend so much so that the Board resolved that no meetings could take place without there being at least two Trust Members present. Matters clearly came to a head at the Trust Board Meeting on 23rd February 2017 when Sir Rodney announced that as of 2.00pm he would resign from the Trust and that he was in the process of establishing another Trust with 4 new Trustees which would deliver the community stadium rather than the Wakefield & District Community Trust. There was much anger expressed by the remaining Board Members and Sir Rodney was asked to leave the meeting prior to his 2.00pm resignation.

My, oh my, Wakefield Two Trusts, how's the new one going on?

Well i think this is going to be a unpopular post but here goes anyway, first of all i would like to say a big well-done to all in the trust for keeping the fight going but it is mentioned a few times in that statement that we or the trust would still like the monies that WMDC said they would put in all those years ago, yet only a couple of days ago i heard Mr carter on a radio interview say that Wakefield trinity did not want any money from the council, so i think both parties need to get there stories straight going forward.
Secondly I don't know if it is meant as sarcasm or a serious statement when the words "we seem to recall" have been used, if it's sarcasm i think this could just put the backs up of Mr box and co if it's a serious statement then i think it will just be brushed aside,
I thought i had read that the trust had sought legal advice, surly they would have advised against that statement.
And my last point and i could well be wrong on this one but wasn't a Cas fan coming on here all those years ago telling us that newcold was going to be a stand alone project and would not count towards the trigger point long before it was passed.
Anyway sorry to be negative but i am just not feeling positive on any outcome of all this.

Bar a couple of grammatical errors and a couple of typos it is a good response. Just probably could have done with a bit more proof reading.

Seriously

It's a work of genius when you think that the WMDC legal bods couldn't read the 104 as it was to complicated for them.

You're not really sorry are you, you're just trolling.

As i said i knew it would be unpopular, but is it better to be unpopular and make a point that i think needs making or just stick your head in the sand and say yes that's great now we've got em on the ropes and keep the forum police aka vastman happy.
I know which i think is best.

Well I think it's more of a case the club have been trying to force the council to actually enforce the planning conditions and trying to stress to people that that is what we're mostly interested in rather than getting money from them. Then the council have come out this week and said that the offer of £2 million is still on the table, which we'd have to be completely stupid to turn down. The most important thing though still remains them enforcing the planning conditions, otherwise the £2 million is completely useless.

I don't know, if the trust the club and the council had all been in talks as trb continually tells us they have been then surely everyone knew that the funding was still on the table.

I am not a WT fan and even I can answer that for you.

Mr Carter and WT are not asking for any money from the council, the Trust is asking for money to build a community stadium. You realise they are 2 separate things?
