Seconded by me. You have my full support. To quote some other person "No deal is better than a bad deal " but I reckon Daddycool is a safer pair of hands!

| Yes me too, I would third that.
I believe in MC and CB, any day of the week over someone who I think is just in it for themselves.

| Integrity and trust, two of the most important words in the English language which MC and CB have in abundance and clearly lacking on the other side of the fence. Still not sure how 2 directors of Yorkcourt (200icon_cool.gif can sign a UU a day after they have resigned?

| Quote ="Slugger McBatt"Not in the slightest. As I've said, if the figures from any "new deal" don't allow the club to grow, there's no point. It merely postpones the inevitable. What I'm driving at generally is, using your figures, that if the original proposals would have generated 750K per annum but a new deal only brings in 650K, I hope that the frustration at 100K being diverted away from where it should be going doesn't scupper a deal that would still be broadly beneficial.
Like I said earlier, there is only question: does it benefit the club? If it doesn't fill the gap because the way the deal changes, there is no point.
From a personal point of view, I'd love to stay at Belle Vue, but the only thing I want is to see Wakefield Trinity be successful. It's a club I've followed since I was five and I'm in my fifties now. I could sense the frustration in the club's statement and I believe every word.'"
I guess where I'm at, is that I'm not prepared to carry on with any old deal. You've got two mugs, working 100 hours a week for free, after 4 years that grates a little.
The plan has always been, that various businesses are run to provide the resource to compete properly.
Then suddenly certain parties realise there is money to be made and get greedy again.
This stadium was promised, and should have been fully funded with no strings attached. They will make a fortune from the green belt land anyway!!
There's a real simple answer for those that want all the profit.... buy the club

Take your point completely Daddycool. There are far too many greedy businessmen in the world today who would screw their best friends and own family for a buck ( are you listening Rodney?). It was like a breath of fresh air when yourself and Chris came on the scene and saved our beloved club. To see a couple of businessmen with integrity was a rarity. Please don't give up on the club now. Keep fighting your corner. I have put sixty years of support into this great club of ours and for what reward to myself; ten good years in the Sixties and little else since, but I'm going to persevere and hope that the good days will come around again under your leadership.

| I'm fully behind you MC, wouldn't give them the time of day nevermind further planning benefits as well as a slice of pie, surely RW has had enough pie to last him a lifetime. Wonder how he's enjoying that holiday home he bought from his buddy.

| I agree, the current owners have done more for this club than I can remember anybody doing, I love this club and the city and like all on here want the council and private companies involved to be true to their word and deliver. I know its an obvious thing to say but the council should be doing what the people want

| Hereś my plan.
Council borrow 10 million and ill Pay them back more then the interest costs them.
With the 2 million already pledged, build stadium for 12 million. That takes the immediate pressure off.
Then hound those that should have paid, for every last single penny.

The fact that you've even considered that as a plan is a measure of desperation there is rolled up in this diabolical mess.
The Council is the leverage though, its on their watch.
What happens to that green brown belt land when the developer feigns going bust and winds itself up

Surely the council loaning the club £10 million is a complete non-starter? I can't see any way they'd agree to that, plus you'd have both Cas and Fev apoplectic with rage if we were given a loan like that from the council.

They would be loaning the money to a community trust, I presume? One set up to provide sporting facilities that this district badly needs, it's a win, win and box can come up smelling of roses again ... I wish they would go out on a limb for this like they do for the Hepworth, YSP, Sun lane baths, Trinity Walk etc etc all would not be here if it wasn't for the council going the extra mile...

IT must be bloody annoying, to put it politely. I've not spoken to anyone who doesn't back you in this.
Interesting that Box is now having a go at the developer, why now? Skeletons and closets?
Oh and he says the £2m back on the table!
Will there ever be a solution?

| Ok he's told the developer to 'put up or shut up', about time!
Unless I've missed it, what's he gonna do if the developer does shut up?

Box? Same as he's done already, probably.

That seems to me like a very good plan.
12 million for a Community Stadium for the benefit of the people of Wakefield is not a huge amount for the council to borrow . It would get things moving and surely there would be grounds to sue Yorkcourt if they didn't cough up?

Where did I ask them to loan the club 10 million?

Well, the trust then. I'd love it if they did but surely the council aren't gonna be in the business of loaning that kind of money to anyone in the current climate?
