I've said before and I know some don't like it but not buying the ground because someone told you not to, does not sound like Carter so I'm sure there is more to it.
If it's true, the mistake is on our side not SRW or the Council.

I agree with that

A rock solid argument must have being put to MC for him not to buy it

Essentially Walker lied

Carter has pubilcally stated Walker told him not to buy the ground

I'm just so glad we own our ground again
And have plans to develope it
It feels like we have a future again

Well you don’t agree with it then? As the fault clearly does lay with Walker, poptart appears to suggest it doesn’t.

I'm saying there is more to it otherwise it as I find it hard to believe it's as simply as SRW just saying "trust me, don't bid"....... But if he did, the person who did just trust a blind promise made a big mistake and shares responsibility.

True but trusting the chairman of the Trust and a Knight of the Realm if you buy into that stuff is hardly a blind promise is it? In business as in life you have to trust people on occasions, if we didn’t nothing would ever happen and at this point Rodders still had some credibility So no they don’t share the responsibility, someone has clearly been dishonest, the fact someone else has believed them doesn’t excuse it.

You can't change yesterday, you can tweak today, tomorrow you can change. MC and others at the club are driving the changes under what we all know are extremely difficult circumstances, clearing the mess of previous regimes at the club and working with a council leader who's behaviour whether by design or sheer incompetence has not been helpful (understatement possibly). I'm more than happy for MC and the others to keep taking Trinity forward and giving Trinity name back respect and credibility.


As for the demolition it was not carried out by any experienced demolition contractor, enthusiastic 'oh I can do that no problem' workers were on the job.

Sure I saw Yosser Hughes there in his "high vis vest"

No not yet, however I do try an keep up to date on the latest developments in this saga, so my best guess is that we shall start to see progress around the same time as we win the grand final.

Personally, i would think it would be difficult, logistically, for any work to be done on the stadium while the season is ongoing, and were playing there.

Also, are there any funds in place as yet, to even start any work?

I’d say it would be difficult to do any work until we have some money! Which I think is the point PB is making.
