He does seem sure about all this does Dave, well over to you MC, am sure your watching

Does that mean the same as "drunk"?

Hope you're wrong, and it doesn't quite square with TRB's guarded optimism, and guarded optimism isn't too far from realistic pessimism, which might spill out over a pint. And "it probably won't happen" can soon become "it's not going to happen".

Without reading the last few pages...

IF there is something going on here, then neither we, the club or the council are aware of it!

We have just spent a great deal of time speaking to some of those involved and, whilst there is a funding gap (this is not news), the project remains on-going.

The developer is tied into a 106 agreement which he is bound to fulfil. The council have invested heavily in the scheme. The Stadium Trust are the beneficiaries of the development with WT the anchor tenants.

As far as we are all concerned, what Dave has posted is incorrect!

In response to Slugger's and TRB's posts...

I hope you are correct, and I don't mean to undermine anyone else's knowledge on this. I'm definitely not saying I am corrct or will stand by my comments to the death, though I have good enough reason to believe this to be true....

I wasn't drunk at the time as I wasn't drinking (if you can believe that!) ....the reason I don't recall some aspects is because some things flew over my head, and I have slept several times since.

I apologise for making such a bold statement with such vague recollections of the events though, but I assure you I treated this with a high level of skepticism at the time. And I certainly wouldn't have said anything on here if I had any idea that it was just fabricated, cause it'd have only knocked my own credibility.

The poeple who ARE in the know on here suggest this is unture, which I am happy to accept, though in my mind I do expect something to be announced in the next couple of weeks

It was still news to me when Phil and johnathan exploded into my office!! As far as I was concerned, Newmarket is still going ahead albeit there were still some funding issues? And there's another meeting at the end of this month. If something's changed, nobody has told me.

Nice one Dave

Please don't think I'm calling you on this DC, this is just a polite question....

hypothetically speaking, IF what I said was 100% right, and you were aware I was 100% right.... you wouldn't be able to say on here straight off anyway would you? Wouldn't it have to go through "proper" channels to the relvant parties before you'd post on here?

Please don't take that the wrong way

I certainly aren't insinuating anything

Nice!



I said we wouldn't bite!

please explain?

I aren't Harry Potter, I accept no blame for exploding offices!

Me thinks you'll just have to keep guessing!

I hope so



the talks which my infrmation has come from though were not involving WTW representatives at the time I believe, though again, I can't verify this

Any how congrats are in order Dave, you've got a name check on the Nut job forum. I expect you'll achieve legendary status on there should your info prove to be accurate!

name check??

ooooh link please

will I be able to view it, I aren't a member?

You're reported as being a well respected poster!


you can view without being a member.

I bet quite a few on here think your a member.

Not a chance mate, don't deny your respect for me!



Dave Mandella has a nice ring to it...

With crushing information like that, you’ll be elevated to saintly status if it turns out to be correct.

Oh, what joyous news that would be to the collective.

So who told you this then, if the club chairman says he doesnt know anything about it, why would anybody tell you in a pub? I dont know why anybody would tell you this and it not be true but then again why tell you in the first place?

C'mon, he's hardly likely to drop his mate in it by naming him is he?

No but why would you believe anybody who says 'he's in the know'!

I have no idea whatsoever if Dave is right or wrong, but I know the guy in the "real" world and in all conversations I've had with him he's never bullsh8t me or come over as negative to Wakey.

I imagine that by now, Dave is being worshipped as a deity by the primitives on nutjob island.

Reading what he posts on here I wouldn't think anything else, this is just a bit out of the blue dont you think?

Did I also read on here recently that Richie Mathers had broke his leg.

If the is a member if the WTW fraternity who has such connections that they are 'in the know' to such great detail... Then their connections to industry must be significant, and they should really come forward and use those connections to the benefit of the club.

If however our amber and black friend has been fed some bluster and bull... Then we need a name, in order that the person can 'be taken to task' for unnecessary mischief.
