Seriously, and back on track, I don't see anything in your text that should cause a serious issue in respect of planning. I look forward to getting the thumbs up on the 16th of THIS MONTH!!

I'm confident but would be more so if it were not tied to plot 8

Agreed but also should it all go smoothly, a nod of appreciation to the new regime at the council.

This simply would not have happened under Box, whose treachery towards the sporting public of Wakefield was a scandal.

Just goes to show what a supportive council can help to achieve. Had this lot been in charge ten years ago we’d have been playing out of NM for years now. Ditto Cas and to a lesser degree Fev would be in a far stronger position.

All three would be in SL and I reckon we’d be up there chasing honours.

It’s very unusual in life to say this but only one man is to blame and that’s Box. Sure Walker and YC did their worst but it was the job of Box to make sure they didn’t and in this his key roll he failed miserably.

I do hope in time he’s caught out and expunged from the record, horrible man imho.

Didn't that Yvette Cooper play a part as well?

She did and a few others but none were as determined for us to fail than Box.

To this day I don’t totally get his motivation or not in a way I can post without it being libellous

Don't be too hasty with the praise of the new leadership, vasty. Remember that the current incumbent. Ms Jeffrey, was a protege and close ally of Peter Box and represents a Castleford ward, I believe, as did her predecessor. Fingers crossed that this time it WILL happen.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, particularly as I'm not a Wakefield council tax payer, but I can't shake this feeling that the £2 million offered per club wouldn't have happened if Cas were in their new ground. Weird that Cas get access to some upgrade cash just when Wakey are getting our stadium on the way to being sorted.

Or am I being too cynical?

no your not you can also add to it as a sweetener too for the cock up they made with the Newmarket fiasco
