Was working at paragon last week and got talking to some York court people who informed me everything is going well we'll be hearing things very soon and we will be impressed with the plans, more sports facilities than just a stadium and a few organisations involved. All sounds good

Is this the week we might here something surely it's got to be soon. Since the 3 & half years since the newmarket community stadium was announced I've gone grey and my nerves shot to bits.

In a little over three weeks it will be a full six months since the SoS gave his conditional blessing. I understand the delay in getting the 106 agreement signed (have we had official confirmation from anyone on that yet) but some form of update from the parties involved would'nt be out of order after all 15,000 of us signed a petition that helped this pass the PI.

Why not get down to the fans forum on Tuesday night then and ask the question of people who should know the answers and not people on here who, at the end of the day, are all just speculating!

Apparently James Elston said on Yorkshire Radio the 106 had been dated and was now in the possession of the SOS.

Hi Clan

As Khlav says, we have been told that the signed and dated S106 is with the SoS office and we have no reason to doubt this. This is a waiting game and we are just waiting for the SoS final nod now, which like M62 J30 Trinity, we hope will come sooner rather than later. I don't think there is much else that can be added to be honest Clan. Although, it might be that James can update the Supporters Trust meeting on the progress of other elements of Newmarket and the stadium design etc.

Thanks for the update IA.

Maybe you can help with another couple of Qs?

In a few of the announcements i'm fairly sure Jimmy Elston talked about 2015 season at Newmarket - based on the few bits i'd heard isn't this way optomistic given the enabling project has to be built and a certain percentage of the units occupied first?

Secondly does anyone have an update on the finances of yorkcourt?

Apologies if you've been through this stuff before for other people.

Have a look on the Cas forum. You're bound to find the answer there.

Bigger cat? Like a tiger maybe?

called Alf perhaps?

Nop wakey fan, season ticket holder and 1873 member from the start....

You guys are a little paranoid.

Stop playing about with 'em Alf.

Oi!!



Don't you start!

It ain't me.

I have a reputation to keep on here, don't you know?

Given this is your first post I, like everyone else, suspect you are trolling!

However, lets give you the benefit of the doubt and answer your questions seriously.

The start of 2015 season is still over 2 years away, so there is still over a year before the main stadium build would have to be started to meet this target.

The section 106 is a legal obligation which compels the developer to start work on the stadium at the worst case when a certain amount of floor space has been built and occupied. That is what he must do to meet this legal obligation, equally it doesn't say he can't start straight away. The is a big difference to what they have to do and what they may or may not do!

The finances of Yorkcourt are generally irrelevant, for various reason. Firstly, as well as the developer, WMDC and the landowner(s), the other party to the section 106 is the bank. So if they have signed, which we understand they have, they are clearly not worried! Secondly, Yorkcourts current trading position is just that, current, but future investment and investors when Newmarket does get the final nod could be somewhat different! Finally, who says that Yorkcourt will ultimately be the lead developer/investor in Newmarket!

HTH

I must therefore congratulate Bigger Cat on a fantastic impression.

I wouldn't kid yourself that he's some kind of super-troll; bigalf had his card marked a good while ago and I don't think there's a poster on here who doesn't see him for what he is - a bitter, small-time troll who has fed on the insecurities of some Cas fans to create a little cult of personality all of his own.

Top tip; if he offers you a kool-aid, refuse - it's not very nice.

Thanks IA, i think two years is pretty tight given whats outstanding and the i would prefer it Yorkcourt had pocket fulls of cash - but i will keep the faith.

For info i used to post under another name but forgot my password and changed my e-mail so i thought it easier just to set up a new account.

The reason i stopped posting was becuase it's a bit weird on here - a normal question gets you accused of being a cas fan!

I'll stick to just watching the guys and go back into rlfans retirment.....

Loooking forward to 2013.

Welcome back BIG CAT

Considering the build time was 54 (i think) weeks, you can relax my good friend. And I'm sure as a ST holder and an 1873 member you've seen such a drastic change and positive and professional approach by the new board to know NM isn't far away and great days are ahead for our beloved Wakefield Trinity!

Celebrate Bigger Cat, and let the good days roll!

I wouldn't necessarily compare him with the Reverand Jim Jones - yes I know, some poeple might think he is a cult but personally I wouldn't go that far. I do get your drift though.

Something like that.

That actually made me s out load.

Too true! That's why I didn't post much for many years!
