It would cost less than £500 to get a solicitor to write a letter to the SoS, copied to Box and Mackey, to put them on notice; I'll chuck in £50, and I'll provide the solicitor.

| What are you going to sue them for, not reaching the required acreage to build a community stadium. We were part of the agreement which stated that once a set area is built on then the build would be triggered. I believe that even if we took the current structure into consideration the trigger point is not reached and therefore currently there is no breach of any agreements at this time.
I would guess this is why we have not gone down the litigation route because it would be pointless and a waste of money unless of course those in the know can confirm what they consider the council to have failed to do.

| I've always wondered why did WMDC allow them planning to build this Newcold, when it was not part of the original agreement that had taken years to organise & then officially rubber stamped by the S of S. Also looking at it from Yorkcourt's side, what was the point of all this, just to build one building in all these few years. Surely they could have found an easier way to get that done. Unless I'm missing something.

Perhaps you are right but, maybe, the next couple of units will take the total build past the trigger point and this is why things are at such a delicate stage
and nobody (including WMDC will want to have land not being used, which could generate income for the developer and WMDC ?
This is pure conjecture but, something will eventually be built there (Newmarket)

I know it's frustrating, but you know who the trust are - and fortunately for everyone I am but one of them - and all things are being reviewed. We may well be asking for money, but it will be a task over £50, thank you anyway!
The addition of a new participant in these discussions - M88 - is potentially a game changer!

Is that another one of those game changers where nothing actually ends up changing again?
I suppose it might mean things actually start to happen one way or the other rather than just endless meetings involving lies and BS from certain parties. That has to be a good thing as the status quo has gone on for way too long.

The reason we're no closer to the trigger point is because WMDC conspired with YCP to take Newcold out of the UU; it therefore did not contribute to the required acreage to trigger their obligation to do what HM inspector told them they had to do in order to develop that land.
A letter of intent should focus on that - as it's the murkiest part of the whole thing so far, especially with WMDC's mysterious legal advice, which Peter Box is on record as saying they took, but they've never actually been able, or willing, to provide any evidence of; because it was a lie.

| How about this for pie in the sky ideas... Anything is possible right?
M88 might want to build say 120 houses on BV/Super Bowl but can't because WT have to have somewhere to play. So they get together with York Court , surely looking to make amends for ripping off the people of Wakefield and WMDC , the top sporting local authority in the UK (sic) they all put in and we get a new, new stadium somewhere in Wakefield..
Well I can dream can't I??

It's 88M not M88 and they have a record of holding land as part of their portfolio and doing nothing with it and then selling on www.88m.co.uk/investment.html
However I am not 100% sure they have bought BV, they defo have the Super Bowl site, can someone confirm that they are now the new landowners and landlord for BV as I'm not totally convinced they are

| What about 88M's interest?
Seriously though, are you 100% sure that 88M are now the owners of the leasehold on the land where BV sits and they are the new Landlords for WTW (or just WT from next year )

Earlier in this thread Michael Carter stated it was his understanding that both are now owned by the same party.
