They were never going to contribute, if people hadn't already worked that out previously the last application once and for all confirmed that. It's why the club/trust have taken back some control by getting BV back and looking for funding streams themselves.

Should have continued with legal proceedings against yc ,f### em

Its not YorkCourt that you can take legal proceedings against, they have not done anything wrong, they are only doing what the Council has, is allowing them to do. This situation has been set up by the Council so if you wanted to go legal you would need to instigate a judicial review, to review how the council have handled things from day one, it could take at least a year and you would need a minimum of £ 300,000 to fund it. Not sure where that would come from, people have talked about crowd funding, think that may achieve say £ 10,000

You can’t instigate a judicial review over how the council have handled things since day one as judicial reviews are time constrained and that horse as long since bolted.

I agree Yorkcourt have no intention of paying a penny and they never will whilst ever our council help them in every way they can. What frustrates me is why we are even keeping up this pretence of them doing so. If our council were half decent they would be looking at any future schemes on the horizon in order to fund a community stadium.


However if we stick to the idea that Yorkcourt will provide funding we will come to a stage in a few years when every bit of Newmarket has been developed and nothing has been forth coming. By then we will be playing out of a total wreck of a stadium with no chance of up grading it and a 3.2 million debt with rolled up interest that will need repaying. We will have fannied around for well over twenty years and be back to the same state we were in when the club was in previous ownership

If our council were half decent this wouldn't be happening in the first place. Even if we put the original Newcold application and it's circumventing of the stadium trigger points down to mistake or undersight, they still seem intent on moving the goal posts to get this latest application passed

Just reading the WE article regarding planning for Newmarket, apparently the council have asked Yorkcourt to contribute to the upgrade of BV, Yorkcourt have declined suggesting that it wouldn't be "lawful" for them to help fund the stadium. Is there anyone on here involved in planning that could explain why it wouldn't be lawful?

How do you fund Court action ? £ 50,000 would be needed just to get started then perhaps £ 250,000. The loan has nothing to do with Newmarket, Council have made a loan to the club on commercial terms.

Some time ago, Carter said he’d fund the court action himself so it’s not a problem

I’m not sure how cosy he’s got with Box since then, as the loan deal suggests they’ve forged some kind of relationship.

Knowing what we do about the two main protagonists in this, I think the conversation would have been something like this …

BOX "Colin... Would you like to contribute towards upgrading Belle Vue instead ??"

MACKIE "No"

BOX "Okay, sorry for asking".
