As am I and I also don't blindly except what the Club says, even though I'd take MC's word over some developer or WMDC, just down to experience.
What I can do on this issue though to get the facts, is go back to WMDC's planning portal when all this started and read for myself what was promsied, for what reasons & how it was all gong to happen. Plus how Yorkcout got all that land taken out of greenbelt down to a S106 agreement. Which like I said to your previous point, was a lot to do with the 15000 signatures & the backing of the Community as a whole, as well as the need of better Community Sports facilities and creating jobs. Which WMDC were supposedly 100% behind back then. It is there where I have issue with what you say.
You try to paint a picture of this being all abour just Trinity, when factually that's wrong. You constantly talk about the ratepayer but yet fail to see it's them that's been shafted in this, Trinity supporter or not. Even if you're trying to play devils advocate as a Trinity fan about this issue, it doesn't come across that way at all to me. In fact if you're a Wakefield ratepayer, how don't you feel completely let down by all this?
You also say this forum is 'now the domain of a small group of like minded people who struggle with dissension.' No you're wrong, on the issue of what has happened at Newmarket, I think you'll find most people certainly agree that we've been shafted by several people , not just WMDC. But as far as topics such as the team, players we've got, new signings & how well we've played etc, it certainly isn't. We have a wide and varied discussion about those topics, but I suppose that doesn't suit your agenda/opinion.
