The less charitable version is that things change as soon as it becomes imminent, perhaps sensing the whiff of a dollar or two.

The positive is that it makes it sound even more imminent. If someone made a slice by way of a management company, then it all depends on how big the slice is, as bad as it sounds. Losing a small slice might be better than nothing at all, but it would be a disgusting thing to happen if it turns out that way.

Yes that's what I meant in my post. We may have to bite the bullet here. This could well be a bargaining gambit

And my gut feeling, F 'em, sit back and wait, then if it all goes tits up lets get the fans involved, if we can't get off our ass for something as important as this then be it on our own heads.

Nobody as mentioned where this stadium is going to be built,if its not Newmarket then it will have to go t o planning again.Box did say on the radio that leisure facilities were planned on City fields,but as the old saying goes if it sounds to good be true it probably isnt.

its a mess!! and all that is going to happen is their is no stadium built and no Wakefield in super league.

Can I suggest this - and I will be prepared to get smacked down.

The Trust in its current form have had long enough to deliver on a stadium and for reasons we are told not of their doing have failed.

Maybe it is time to start again? SRW seems as sure as I have heard this will work?

Yes indeed there are leisure facilities proposed aspart of the development. Would be ironic if they proposed to build stadium on the site of the former power station as this is where Ted wanted to build it many years ago but he was persuaded by DEnise Jeffery and the Cas council to go for the Thornes Park site and the council would help us build there. Many years on no stadium and a load of empty council promises. #ledupthegardenpath

The old power station site would be my preference by a mile! The new road has opened up countryside I never knew existed in Wakefield. Before anyone says 'Let's leave it that way' I think the council have just approved plans for a massive building program in the area so a stadium nearer to the old power station site wouldn't go amiss!

To me this is all about money and I am not talking about revenue from running any new stadium. Following receipt of planning permission YC have always pleaded poverty, which is interesting as during the public inquiry hearings they had a hissy fit when the anti Newmarket team suggested that YC did not have the proverbial pot. YC went to great lengths to convince the Public Inquiry that they were financially strong and liquid. RW and Box allowed YC to build Newcold outsite the 106 agreement ie not counting towards the trigger point because they accepted YC argument that they were skint and needed Newcold to go ahead. For Some reason RW and Box kept this to themselves. YC have no intention of building a stadium at Newmarket, they know that RW and Box allowed them to ignore the 106 and they know that Box isn't bothered about a stadium. What YC want is the planning permission to build houses on the land at Newmarket that was designated for the stadium. We are talking about a massive net gain as they will not incur the build costs of the stadium but will rake in millions from house building. YC are still saying they are skint and that only when they have built and sold those houses will they have any money to put towards a stadium. This was why YC and RW were always pushing for a rebuild of BV, but YC wanted the cherry and the bun, give us planning for houses, we build them and only then will we give you any money, so never basically never. Now RW would have agreed to this and I presume told YC that he could get that deal agreed. RW when running the old Trust basically did as he wanted without having to answer to anyone, what Walker had not planned for was TRB, SC, IA, MC & CB getting on the trust and actually asking him what the hell was he doing. This I believe would be the reason he bloused out of the meeting and resigned from the Trust. So where is any money coming from to build a stadium, the moment we agree that the new stadium can be built away from Newmarket then IMO we are lost, the money has to come from YC as if they get what they want we are talking years and they will simply not pay up. We are talking about a company that has changed its name, closed various associate companies, taken directors of the board etc etc, during the previous years, they will have done this to protect themselves for any legal action that may occur in other words the party that is named in the 106 does not exist anymore.
