I have to be cautious here, because I was told things in absolute confidence and I don't make a habit out of breaking confidences... professionally this could also be an issue!

As far as I am aware, but can check when I get back to the UK, that the meeting I am talking about was attended only by reprsentatives of Opus, the Club and officers of Wakefield Council. As such, I don't think it would break any confidences if I was to ask you to post, or PM if you would prefer, the capacity in which your boss/friend was attending this meeting. I don't even think the current proposed end user client was at the meeting, so is your company providing constancy services to Opus or the club? I possibly think this might be a different meeting?

I can't recall personally seeing you post before, so would like to double check things before deciding to reveal my source, if at all! I am sure you will understand.

Yep, that's right. I suppose it's fair enough that folk get a bit o.t.t. when passions are raised, but for guys in their positions it was very naive. Glad to hear it's been addressed though - better late than never. And it should give me half a page of p**s take for the next Tigers fanzine...

After reading RW's blurb this morning, is anyone else of the thinking......'get to the point RW, how much money are the Tigers actually going to nett from the deal?'

Not trying to cause trouble here but find it interesting that it is felt that there is the need for a petition for a development that some of your fans felt had very little obstacles in its way if any.

I could fully understand why it was necessary for NM, but does this move suggest that not everything is going to be as plain sailing as certain Cas fans had thought?

Not really - more understanding that these things take time and we need to be patient.


...is usually how the trolling and bickering from you lot starts.


I think you might be over-analysing. What's wrong with awareness being raised and the public expressing support for the proposed scheme in advance of a planning application being submitted?

I like our derby matches so much - I've signed it!

Owt for an easy two points eh?

Patient implies time......and I purposely didn't mention timescales in my post, as 20+ years on from the first talks of new stadiums it's pointless. However I will now, as the relevant factors being how much we are going to be paid, and when it is going to be paid.

As I have personnaly put it to RW before, if the funding is not 'irrevocably' in place by the end of Jan 2012, we will not be in the new stadium for the start of 2013. Hence be careful in making a statement that says we will. With a 50+ wk build plan (if it goes smoothly) its just stating the obvious.

So....does anyone think that all planning issues will be overcome and money will start to move and change hands before this year is out?

Signed.

In at no.146 (only 14,854 to go!).

You imply urgency - which also implies time, and it's something we're all too aware of.
