Yes there will be an election but the only people allowed to vote in it are the councillors themselves.

The majority on the council by far are labour and most of them don't represent Wakefield and don't care about the City.

The outlook is not great . I am hoping there is someone who has the skills and integrity to lead the council in a fair, honest and proper way amongst the Labour ranks.


Aye up PB

I’ll make this brief as I don’t like to linger on this forum these days.

If I recall Jeffries was always sympathetic to our stadium but when push came to shove was far to gutless to stand up to Box.

If she does take over the reigns do you reckon she might offer us a bit more? I’m not talking NM as that’s dead in the water but something better than we currently have?

Hi Vasty

Without going into a long list of reasons, my opinion is that she will also be standing down very quickly.

I have not the slightest idea who might take over either as I don't think there is that much talent in the council. One thing Box did to stifle all opposition was to make sure no one came on to the council who could ever threaten his position.

However I will say this, Box was very good at stringing us all along and we all thought that eventually we may get something out of all this, when in fact it should now be obvious that there was no intention to do that. I really believe that Yorkcourt will not be contributing a penny and the club will soon be back to where it was 20 years ago in that it will own a crappy ground and have a massive debt to service. This last 20 years has been a sham.

Really? is that as much faith as you have in the current management?

No our present management are great. But they are not supermen or magicians, they will not see a penny from Yorkcourt.
I have no idea where they will get the money from to pay back the ground loan or in fact start the development.

Fair enough, it's obviously crossed my mind where the money is coming from, but I just can't see MC and co getting us into unmanageable debt.
As for Yorkcourt, they've managed something Houdini would have been proud of, albeit with assistance it seems.

I would've hoped any funding plans for the ground did not rely upon YorkCourt. They have shown their hand and will not stump up.

Good riddance to the man

Fat chance of that! I can't see a single "real" socialist amongst the Wakefield councillors! The only one I have any real respect for is Tish, the Fev councillor.

As for the current deputy, she has always made her way on other b*ggers efforts! Incapable of making a coherent speech.

You are way more knowledgeable on these things than humble supporters like me but, surely, the rent that was payable previously would be enough to service the loan ?
As for any funding to rebuild the ground, I've absolutely no idea but, the very fact that this is being spoken about, has to be a good thing and at least, while we are in SL and while we are allowed to continue playing in a "sub standard" ground, at least we have some level of control ?

Whilst Box has moved on to now spread his despotic ways over all Yorkshire rather than just Wakefield, I'm afraid it's gonna be a long time before the Box "effect" disappears from WMDC. Surely after the whole Verity affair re finance and bullying, the selection committee at Welcome to Yorkshire should have been aware of Box's reputation, and known better than to appoint him.
