That's because you spend most of you're time on just one board.

Without getting personal!
I think that's the pot calling the kettle there!

It doesn't get much more bitter and twisted than that folks!
The old regime was the old regime and AG is clearly trying to put fresh air between them and him by delivering on his promises - are you suggesting that WTW should remain forever damned for its past actions, or failures to act?
As for the second part of your daft post - yes, I certainly do think that the improvements that were promised in the franchise application and that will subsequently be carried out in January 2012 will equate to exactly the improvements that weren't just implied, but were outlined in detail.
Is there a particular reason that some of you seem determined to talk down these modest but important improvements to BV?

So when Alf asks questions/states facts it's trolling yet when Inflatable Ego does the same, just with a pro-Wakey spin on it, it isn't trolling?
Or when you make a thread with a poll that is one of the most obvious attempts at trolling there is?

Now you really are beginning to let yourself down.
It might be time for someone to lock this.

| Wish we had someone lock the stadium debate. We've had it for three years and it's the same old, boring arguments over and over again.
Good for Wakey, they're finally bringing their stadium into the 20th century and next year they may be building one that's going to bring it into the 21st century.

Perhaps if you hadn't started this stupid thread in the first place, in a feeble attempt to throw a bone to your dwindling band of bitter followers, you wouldn't now have to call for it to be locked?
As I said - it's all rather pathetic.

Indeed, just like the hyper-modern Wheldon Road!
ATEOTD - if the club are prepared to spend 500k on improvements that won't even be relevant in 2 years, all that says to me is that the Newmarket scheme must be nailed on.

Strange that. To me it says the total opposite. If WTW are so confident that NM will be passed you will be building next year won't you ? After all its fully-funded by Yorkcourt - you get the green light in January and off you go. I can't remember Salford or Saints spending half a million in ground inprovements recently. Its your plan B and get out of jail card now that Oakwell is off the radar - but will the RFL accept it ?

Factually incorrect I'm afraid and no matter how many times you or bigalf say it, doesn't make it true.
Once again then, for the hard of thinking:
The improvements to BV were in our SL application because our new owner is prepared to admit that whilst NM looks positive, it will take time; the improvements to BV were designed to appease the RFL in the short to medium term and the 500k is considered to be an acceptable opportunity cost for 3 years in SL and all the revenue that brings with it.
As for the idiot above - it may seem unjust, but the company that Mr Glover owns does not owe anything to any small business; despite that, he chose to honour a significant number of the debts that were incurred by the previous organisation.
