Are you still stuck in the 1970s

The way that York Court have wriggled out of things in last 5? Years, you do have to wonder if this will make any difference.. they could build a Disneyland theme park on there and you would still worry that it wouldn't trigger anything except Roy Rodgers horse...
Oh to be wrong ...

I want to be optimistic following todays developments but also fear that the developer who lets face it hasn't been transparent and open to discussions to date will leave us high and dry at the eleventh hour. Also WMDC will then after todays announcements be able to say they did all they could.
I really hope I am wrong

I don't care if Box gets his moment in the spotlight as long as it gets done. He can be carried from Belle Vue to Newmarket on my shoulders on the opening day, if he wants.

I can't see Yorkcourt deliberately going bust to avoid it. Why would they? They lose everything then.

The one thing that does rankle is that there was seemingly someone at the top of the Trust side of these things, and it wasn't anyone who posts on here, we know who they are and their commitment to the cause is damn heroic, who was constantly advising to play it steady, don't rock the ship, let's just have another unrecorded private meeting, and nothing happens. As soon as a significant figurehead goes, the ship gets rocked, and things get done. Feels like we were sold dummies for a long time.

Yup

I still have doubts that Yorkcourt will ever build enough to enforce the trigger but you have to take Box at face value and give them all the chance to come up with the goods. Lets not kid ourselves though, even if things run relatively smoothly then a ball being kicked at the stadium is a few seasons off yet. A step in the right direction though.

That's 2 of us at least

Well done all concerned on here and through other sources that have raised the awareness on the issue.

Definately a step in the right direction, and as someone created a thread a few weeks ago, to echo the words said "Cautiously optimistic" of the new stadium.

Dont know if anyone on here follows Manni Hussain on twitter, and he did a retweet of the news before. To me that would indicate that he does have an interest in the club. As he is involved in property development, could he be involved with it all too. Out of interest, a few days ago I went ob their website and there is now a picture of Belle Vue on there.

Looked all around in council meeting this afternoon. Did anyone see any minutes being taken? I didn't

All minutes are taken and will be posted here mg.wakefield.gov.uk/ieListMeetin ... 221&Year=0

People in the public gallery making notes, couldn't see anyone on the council floor taking any.

What the hell are the Crazies on the nutjob going to cream themselves over if we start getting movement on the quest for a Community Stadium ?

I've heard BigAl is staying up all night trawling the internet and sifting through his collection news clippings in a desperate attempt to find some dirt that can bring the whole project to a standstill. I've heard he won't stop until he gets information to relay to his minions to assure them that Wakefield will never get Community Stadium.

At the meeting today. There are positive moves it seems towards the 'community stadium' with the indication that there may even soon be a timescale of developments.
I no longer trust anyone in life anymore, for anything but I say lets bide our time and give the council, the trust and the developer just a little longer to deliver.
The leader of the council, slated on here by more than one, said things in public today he cannot shy away from.Let's see what the reaction of the trust is and give a little m ore time to see what happens now......

To be fair, he hasn't been far out up till now.

Are you sure you mean bigal?

Just for clarification, when it comes to the funding of the stadium, is that down to Yorkcourt or is that not what the Community Trust was set up for?

Yorkcourt (developer) fund the majority of the stadium as part of the S106 agreement, with a £2million investment formed from the Community Trust, Club, and Council. The council had promised to fund the £2m themselves in 2009 and it seems that offer is still available

Think he might mean bigalf.

It's a very positive start shame this wasn't done 5 years ago but today's meeting could be the new start of the Wakefield Community Stadium becoming a reality. We've knocked the council for very good reason but now hopefully they are finally getting behind the development. New cold now counting towards the trigger hopefully a decent unit for Clarks brewery and with Newmarket been prime M62 M1 location it should be very attractive and easy to sell for other Units. Destination Newmarket back on.

Could 88m Group be providung some of the funding, with his seeming interest in the club

I think their interest starts and ends with Belle Vue

Yes, I would think that too Egg Banjo.

The news he re tweeted though was regarding Newmarket.

Sure I heard or read a piece saying that MC was looking for other investors coming into the club to assist.

Just trying to think outside the box here.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but if Bigalf had been on The Trust the stadium would probably have been built by now.
The guy came on here with advice (always polite and invariably correct) but got the dogs abuse for his trouble.
I think some of the genuine fans on here will admit this and respond positively. Others won't.

Give over, the guy used to spend more time obsessing about Trinity's money problems and scouring the internet finding any muck he could to sling in our direction, it was frankly weird and unhealthy especially for a supposed RL fan. He'd always be the first to inform the RL world of any CCJ's he'd found & then he'd run over to the Cas forum and have a big circle jerk with the rest of them, while slating us to death. If there was any decent advice it got lost on me because of the antics he was up to at that time. You obviously must have missed those times.
