Obviously there is a saving in rent bey owning your ground but, has this helped very much ? and are there any debts, loans etc secured against it, which will reduce it's net worth.
Sorry Wren, I'm not sure about any of that. I just meant that we don't have a landlord who seems to change his mind weekly and we could re-develop "The Jungle" as plan B. No idea where the money would come from though.
What utter contempt this man has for his employers.
Whilst you would have to agree that negotiations shouldn't take place in public, it just sounds like a smokescreen. Maybe councilor Ahmed ? should have asked who the parties involved are as it doesn't appear to be THE Trust.
IF Rodders is in any way involved, he really ought to let people know as, again, it appears that he is just another "tree" for Mr Box to hide behind.
I suppose it's expected but Wakefield Express aren't doing a very job on the reporting of this, not sure if it's just lazy journalism but it's quite misleading to people who aren't following this closely. Latest article reads as though Box is in talks with the club when the latest tweets from the trust say they haven't heard from him in months, not to mention Box never specifically said he was talking with the club in the quote they're referring to. Secondly, they refer to Yorkcourt as the land owners but no mention of how they acquired the green belt land in the first place. Another thing - it's always referred to as the Wakefield Trinity stadium, not community stadium.
Call me pedantic but there's still alot of people under the impression Wakey are after a stadium at the expense of the tax payer and this kind of article is exactly why.
I’ve seen Box quote that he is in talks with the club (not the trust) a couple of times recently. Perhaps for clarity MC could confirm whether this is actually the case or not as there hasn’t been any denial from him as yet?
