This is indeed great news.

And for my 5000th post on RLFans,

I'm going to say a big thank you to everyone concerned in RfN especially you (IA) and Catwoman1.

Those numbers simply destroy the notion that no one local to the proposed development wants it to happen!

I wonder what the response will be from our self interested activist friends

Cool 5,000th post on a thread I started... I am honoured!



Thanks to everyone out there for doing the leg-work, all I did was write a few things down, but the hard work has been done by everyone out there!

We had quite a good time counting them all to be honest, every time we counted a Methley or Woodlesford one we cheered... well it made us smile!



I did toy with not posting the numbers yet but then I thought people need to know how much of a difference they are making and impact they are having. As far as the objection groups are concerned, I am genuinely not that interested in what they do or don't do, I am just interested in what we are doing and what we will continue to do in the future!

... and we were ecstatic when we got the Bottomboat and Moorhouse ones




So considering it is taking an awful lot for me to be able to even raise a smile just at the moment

that was certainly a result!

its a pity that they all didnt put a cheque for a grand in with statement of support but how can anyone put £1000 up front when wakey cant even get fans to buy a season ticket for £200

Great work everyone. Good news is very much needed around here

I am embarrassed to be out of the loop on this as I don't know how to help...been working away an not concentrating!
I'm sure there is a thread somewhere but to save me the time...How do I do the letter of support IA? and is Stanley local or Wakefield?

There is a sticky at the top of the page called Statements of Support, you can find all the details and a link to download the Statement and print. We are collecting the completed Statements at various collection points, just so we can count and collate them and save the Planning Inspectorate some work! We need your full name and full address and they should be signed and dated.

As for Stanley then yes, you are local! We have used an approx. 3 mile wide zone from the centre of the site as being local and the areas covered are also in the sticky post.

Obviously, while local statements are important so are any Statements of Support.... so keep em coming!

Factually incorrect as I bought one.

Are you a Wakefield fan?

IA great news mate. Well I will collect as many as I can in the next week or so, I picked up 25 forms last night and now I am not rushing I think I can get even more after work in the next few days.

Bump

Thanks IA. I will do my bit.

Bump again

One more will be on it's way from Rothwell - I thought I'd sent it off already but found it while moving some other stuff. Will drop off at the shop tomorrow ... or Kev's chippy might be worth a visit tonight as that saves me cooking !

By the way, over the last few weeks I received documents from both the standing Lib Dem councillors and the prospective Labour candidate for Rothwell both expressing they are against this project. I have e-mailled both saying that I believe they should be supporting the new jobs created in the area - indeed I think Leeds should have been looking to do have a retail / industrial park of their own to the north of the junction. Neither has responded to my comments.

Thanks mate, everyone is valuable. I am just finishing up for today but would be interested in getting hold of copies of their promotion documents as we may write to them formally as RFN and also when it comes to the Labour Party guys I think we can put pressure on him via the Labour Party locally.

I will drop you a PM over the weekend, to sort picking them up if possible!

I have dinner to go to in Barnsley now and need to iron my dinner-shirt 30 minutes ago!

Keep them coming ...!

Thanks to all who have taken form to The Global Hour Pharmacy opposite the Victoria on Leeds Road . I reckon I have had at least 200 there handed in there.

Got some more coming this week hopefully!!

Please call in Club Shop today and sign a form if you haven't already done so - and take some more with you for others to sign!
Thanks

Sorry folks - but bump again

Signed one today.. got few more signed too.

Thanks that great.

Please don't forget amidst everything that is going on at the moment that we need Newmarket - it is a vital key if there is to be hope for the future.

Please keep the forms coming in.

Catwoman1 is correct and I thought I should post the following quotes to make things crystal clear in respect of Newmarket.

Why should we believe the above? Who has informed you about this?

We do, and that is as good as you will get for now I am afraid. We have been told things in confidence and we are respecting that confidence, I am sure you can understand that! TRB, myself and many other interested outsiders are not only working hard but also put our own reputations on the line. We are as confident as we possibly can be that this information is correct and quite simply, that is that!

Not the club!
