"Colin Mackie, Managing Director of Yorkcourt Properties said: “The officers of the Council and Yorkcourt have worked very hard on this proposal to reach agreement, which is pleasing. As the Leader says, we have always and will continue to work closely together to continue our goal of bringing jobs and prosperity to Wakefield, which this scheme will provide. With the goodwill and support of all concerned we jointly believe we can deliver this scheme.”

So that's Newmarket swept under the carpet. Will there ever be a public statement from them as to why they won't honour their obligations at Newmarket ?

Where's this quote from???

I spent an hour or so reading some of those applications, particularly Yorkcourts/Council and those related to them and to say it made me angry is a bit of an understatement. The way they manipulated & used the good faith of the Wakefield public and in particular Trinity supporters, to back the project (which wouldn't have obviously happened without our backing and the S106). Apart from all the warehousing that was supposed to create 2000 jobs or whatever the number was (which they haven't got clse to reaching), it was also piggy backed off it all being about improving the Sporting facilities of Wakefield. The talk of obesity in children being a problem and quality sporting facilities in solving that is crucial etc. Plus all the other facilities that would get used by the Community, Wakefield College and maybe Carnegie as well was mentioned . Plus getting a Stadium built for the City of Wakefield's last & only professional sports team, so they could flourish etc. Makes me sick.

The pertinent bit for me here I see that there has to be wider sporting facilities created - not just a Stadium!

I admire your blind faith and I hope the gamble because that is what it is comes off. To lose will financially destroy our great club because the costs and those of the council and 88M if involved will be astronomical especially when QC’s are involved.
The bit I don’t understand is on what grounds do we think we can win. We can state how badly we have been treated but the fact is the development was subject to certain conditions which have currently not been reached.
We have now due to recent statements virtually ensured if we leave without an agreement in place to return will quickly find the ground probably levelled and other use agreed. This means we will be homeless because we cannot stay at Dewsbury for more than one season.
Why would the council who we continue to berate allow us to share with Castleford.
We walked out of this deal I just hope we have a plan b if we lose.

We stopped going down a cul-de-sac that would have ended with a deal that would CERTAINLY have resulted in the club going bust! Is that what you wanted?

I take it that there is no negotiations going on between parties involved on the building of the stadium

If it is found the the WMDC are proven guilty of the incompetence while going through the court action and its deemed that Councillor Box is at the root of all of it all, could he be prosecuted for the financial loss of the borough has had to spend from this fiasco IA

I suppose if this was the case then Misconduct in Public Office would be an option provided that there was evidende of misconduct not for a financial loss per se.

it would be one way of turning the table on the WMDC aiming at the top instead of him protecting himself with his minions, go straight for the gonads

all this waste of time of court action is not going to get us a stadium - just delaying further and further!!!
