...or "the Developer"??? who have agreed to change the s106

The same "developer" who have changed the name of the company several times. All I'm saying is don't get complacent or give them any wriggle room.
I'm just suspicious that if they had any intention of delivering the stadium they would have already made progress by now without all the pressure from all the other genuine parties in the discussion.

Conversely, rules are only rules when they're enforced. Why would any company spend money on something with no return unless they had no choice? The failure was in allowing them to think they had wiggle room.
The name of the developer is irrelevant, AFAIK the s106 obligation is tied to the planning and the land.
I think that by the rules of evolution and after 40 years of a stadium on the horizon, Trin fans are realists but eternal optimists. We remain hopeful but wait and see.
The current members of the trust, and SWAG before them, have done a sterling job, and their professional but persistent stance finally seems to be bearing fruit.

I said that jokingly, I can't think for a minute the Rodders would be involved.

Touchy response. You said there was no mention of Yorkcourt, all he did was point out that the developer is quite clearly mentioned. Not sure what that has to do with getting complacent, as the people in the trust are fairly obviously no longer being complacent.

Whilst this seems to be a positive step forward for the future, a more pressing matter is where this club will be playing next year. I may have missed it, but have we had confirmation of where it will be yet. I thought I read six weeks from yhe announcement that Trinity will not be at BV next year, it can't be far off that now.

MC's interview said he 'expects to have a decision in 4-6 weeks'. That was 8 weeks ago! These things are rarely straightforward

Really hope we can do another season at BV, not ready to see the back of the old girl just yet.

I wrote to Mary Creagh asking where she stood on a community Stadium for Wakefield and her policies regarding sport facilities in the City of Wakefield. Her reply was not great, basically a list of all she's done to help, which amounts to very little and a copy of the government stating it's the for the local authority to administer. Don't think locak sport is high on her agenda!
