Perhaps I'm slowing as I get older but why all the sudden interest/action from our great and glorious council leader and his merry band when for the last few years I've been reading that the council said it was 'not their problem'. Then suddenly at a council meeting a while ago the leader of the council, if I'm correct, said he'd been negotiating for months behind the scenes. I may be wrong but this all happened before an election was announced so what changed ?

As far as WMDC are concerned, I'd say they've actually taken some real legal advice and found that they could well lose any case brought by the trust and were backtracking faster than an SL ref. They chose their platform well, at a closed meeting where no-one was allowed to comment or ask questions. Has anything come of their statement?

It isn't that long ago that Mary Creagh was with the local BV residents who were complaining
about the noise from Fri evening games though wasn't it? Even though the stadium has been there for
a lot longer than the residents.

I don't recall that? Only thing I've seen of that nature was the anti-newmarket groups video.

It happened, local residents complained about the music played before and during half time.
She contacted the club in agreement with the residents.

Could this be pure co incidence.

I have just been on the Wakefield Express website and the plans for Thornes Park development have been dropped

That would be my dream place but I think that ship sailed a long time ago.

If there was stiff opposition from local residents and other groups to the housing plan then it would be even greater for a stadium I bet.

Yes me too there Kellyseye.

Just seems strange of the timing of this with MCs tweet yesterday, and his meeting with the Conservatives earlier today.

Didnt Box also mention a few weeks ago regarding alternative options that maybe available
