theres a lot of banter on here, a lot of disagreements, but a huge pile of respect for all the people, especially TRB, who have got us to this point, we celebtate with them tonight and then we must regroup and promote the greatest rugby league team ever, with by far the best fans to grow and move forward as we hit newmarket, we need a bigger fans base and then we will have the club we deserve, but today is SWAGS day andI hope to a man they are drunk as happy skunks!

Trust me we have a massive amount of fans. Bigger than Cas/Fev could ever dream of. The amount of people who used to go (stretching back 50 years or more) or would go is unbelievable.

Re: Planning Approved!!!!!!!!!! : Fri Oct 22, 2010 6:51 pm  

Well I am back from London now but got a text from TRB as soon as the decision was made this morning! I was in a seminar at the time and had to stop myself cheering out loud!

I am not sure what you were all worrying about anyway, I told you it was a formality!

I would just like to add to the chorus of thanks to TRB, I have got to know him quite well over the last few months and I know how hard he has worked and how much this means to him, because he loves the club and he loves his fellow fans. Well done TRB!

Also, to all my new mates at SWAG for all working so hard and having the commitment and faith to know that this day would come!

TRB told me on the phone earlier that they have had a whip round and bought me... a Trinity shirt! I might even have said, in my euphoria, that I would wear one the first time the Rhinos play Trinity at Newmarket!

That all said the NIMBY's are not going to give up making trouble and trying to force this to a public inquiry! I think that is highly unlikely to happen, especially as TRB told me it was quite obvious that our suspicions that the majority of the objections were being driven by a small group of NIMBY's from how they conducted themselves in the planning meeting. BUT we need to keep our ears to the ground and we could still have some work to do, so if you hear of see anything about or from the objectors and either of their faux groups, please let TRB, me or any members of SWAG know.

Cheers everyone, I really, really pleased for you all, the club and the city. Top Banana!

After a disapointing season this is the cherry on the cake that as brightened up the year for us, Well done to TRB and SWAG thanks for putting in all the hard work to make this possible.

It would not so bad if they were actual a real 'conservation' group but they don't give a fig about conservation, they only give a fig about themselves!

The councillors on the committee had her number I_A. She didn't come across well at all and was almost made to look foolish with her answers. She spoke about not enough bus services to the 'remote' area so was asked if when more regular services were provided (as will happen when site up and running) would resolve her problem .... to which she said 'No' (surprise, surprise ) And the Andrew Booth guy was even worse ...
