on SWAG now...

Great statement from SWAG, reminding all concerned about the past duplicity of both WMDC & Box where WTRLFC are concerned.

Whatever happens I hope that the outcome sees both clubs surviving as viable SL clubs - anything less would be a disaster for the district of Wakefield.

No doesnt help me, if our scheme is independantly sustainable, what does the previous thornes stuff matter, or is it only sustainable with the pledge of the cash from the land sale?

Re: Stadium Statement : Thu Jul 15, 2010 7:23 pm  

damn those crazy politicians.

Re: Stadium Statement : Thu Jul 15, 2010 7:23 pm  

So, am I right in saying that SWAG are still convinced that Newmarket is a go'er, but are worried that political shenanigans may try to remove some of the funding guarantee and use it to bolster the Cas stadium? Is it conceivable that WMDC are so convinced that Newmarket will go ahead that they feel they no longer need this guarantee, and see it as a chance to boost TWO areas?

Or is it the same old WMDC - teasing, but when it comes to the crunch running a mile. Only time will tell - but it's doing my head in!!!!

No land is to be sold - at least not yet. Funding towards the stadium was to be made available to both schemes via the opportunity to borrow money and set it against the land. Peter is now threatening the removal of even this last effort - despite letting us get 2 years down the road thinking we would get it - not just the time since it was rubber stamped by cabinet last year!

It's just another way of saying "look, you've cacked on us once, have some decency and don't cack on us again". And it's absolutely bang on.

He's a crafty little sod is Peter, isn't he?

Re: Stadium Statement : Thu Jul 15, 2010 7:49 pm  

Why did Box choose to make a press release only to the Wakey rag, no consideration to letting the Pont and cas readers know about this. Could it be that he believes they have no need to worry about such matters as their beloved Pete is making sure they get what they want.
