Never noticed the ignore button before, is that for anyone specifically?

I don't see why talks would halt for a year though - makes no sense. Perhaps he means talks resume in 2018?

The outcome of a legal action might have a bearing! Play at Belle Vue and see what happens re court action.

Box announced at today's council meeting that he has officials looking at details to go ahead with a stadium at Belle Vue with or with out an anchor tenant.

Re: belle vue : Wed Nov 22, 2017 11:18 pm  

So the council will build a stadium even if they've got no one to use it?

Or have they?

I smell Rodders and his soccer club plan.
Is there any sports club in Wakefield who could potentially pay the 'commercial rent' they seem so keen to apply?

I would suggest this is just WMDC's hand in this game of poker. If they build a stadium, where else are WT going to play?

or maybe it's just a get out clause for their friends at Yorkcourt. £80m of planning gain in exchange for planting some posts in a field and building some changing rooms. Community Stadium sorted.

That's my worry, are they cleverly backing us into a corner, we say no to being anchor tenants, we walk away, the council build three 4G pitches, community facilities provided, council are heroes, Trinity are the greedy bad guys. Job done.

Wimbledon and MK Dons scenario on the horizon?

Re: belle vue : Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:57 am  

Why don't we see if they're really serious about building the stadium, agree to play there and negotiate once we are in. That's what other clubs have done renegotiated a more favourable deal once when it's obvious the original deal isn't working.

Up the Trin

I'd assume the council would want a signed watertight contract for us to be anchor tenants before construction could begin. Oh the irony.
