Around and around we go just like 20 years ago!! the club is doomed to be swallowed up now by USA influences - just let it go people!!!!!

Re: DEADLINE : Wed Oct 25, 2017 9:03 pm  

I'm not convinced that this is the end.

Someone on the council has the dummy spit to end all dummy spits. MC is quiet publicly and the Trust members are quiet on here, other than saying they are fighting for what they've always been promised and are taking legal advice. MC has never been quiet when he feels he has been wronged. I sense some brinksmanship here and the council don't like it.

What I've learned through this whole process is that I trust MC and CB to do what is best for the long term of the club, not just sign the only deal being offered.

If the rent is to be paid to a charitable trust, why is it any concern of the council, as they do not get the benefit of that rent?

Or is there another Trust involved?

Makes you wonder doesn't it.

Surely these delaying tactics will push back any possible start on site date to the point where the completion deadline for the start of the 2020 season cannot be met, and then the RL will call time on us and they then, as well as WMDC, (Box) will have achieved their ultimate aim - to get rid of Wakefield Trinity RLFC.

MC has just gone on holiday which might explain how quiet he is.

And while ever the project is up in the air Manni won't have a return on his investment.

He will also want a positive and swift outcome on this.

There is still nearly a week to the 31 October deadline.

Keep the faith

Exactly what i thought. Especially with all the rubbish of a 2nd Trust being created by RW etc.

The article from the Wakefield Express is so disgustingly anti Tri and pro Box. I utterly despise Wakefield Council, and Box deserves a public hanging.

The tragedy here is that you'd sell more tickets for that than you would for any home game

I had high hopes that Manni would maybe make a difference to the project, a new perspective to push it on more, than it had been previously and although I don't know the ins and outs like everybody else on here of what's happened, them hopes are disappearing about what he really wants
Although he still states he wants a stadium for Trinity, I think the first part of this quote speaks volumes imo.

“We are without question behind the Council and will work with them to finally resolve this issue. We want to continue to help the club to deliver a new community stadium for the 2019/20 season.”

I think because he's gonna have to have the WMDC Planning etc behind him to do any develping of that area, especially to the extent he wants to, it's no surprise he's with the Council tbh.
