A bit more infor from the enquiry:

Sir Rodney Walker said at the public inquiry they have a 106 agreement in place for Yorkcourt to build the stadium prior to any work starting on the units. When the inspector asked to see the 106 agreement, they didn't have it. Why?? Because it's not been put together yet (bearing in mind that this should have been put together back when Wakefield Council approved the planning application a year ago, and it should have gone in with the evidence to support the application)! The inspector has said he wants to see this by the end of the inquiry.

If the 106 agreement doesn't state this and Yorkcourt say they need to build units to fund the stadium, can you see them keeping their promise?

Another funny anecdote from the inquiry. Sir Rodney said the stadium would cost £16m, and the Leeds barrister referred to Sir Rodney's autobiography which in that he stated the stadium at Newmarket would cost £19m. When quizzed about the £3m has difference, Sir Rodney responded with something along the lines of, he know's a "guy" who can knock them some money off!

The biggest fudge of all time??

Perhaps if you practiced what you preach then we could all get along!

Apparently the section 106 agreement is due to be signed before the end of the PI

It will or the rest of the development won't be able to commence either. Signing these things long after the event is fairly common practice. In fact the section 106 agreement for Glasshoughton wasn't signed until about 3 years after initial outline pp was given. Just the way these things happen.

Ted did what he could with in his ability for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. Its a crying shame he became a victim of the recession, and he left a club which he loved with all his heart in an undignified way he deserved a better exit. Should the Newmarket development be successful it would be quite fitting if the ban from attending any games were lifted for him and Teds family.

Ted caused most of the issues himself by not paying up the bills that were due. He then sold the ground =#FF0000EDIT: Please don't make comments of this nature that you can't substantiate. RR Yes I think we have loads to thank him for. He did find yorkcourt and nm as this was his way out for free. As wt didn't have to put anything into a community stadium. It was his last throw of the dice before time caught up with him

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about - ignorant trash picked up through clueless gossip. This level of idiocy is why so many top posters no longer bother posting - what's the point.

Seeing as I was one of the folk he didnt pay then I think I deserve my view!!

Really, anyone could say that so forgive me if I'm not impressed. A viewpoint is not the same as a rant, yours is a rant with nothing in the way of fact to back it up.

The fact assuming it is fact that you were not paid does not give you the right to make stuff up and you are clearly giving a version of events that for the most part is not true.

Just as an aside why pinpoint Teds use of relatives in certain positions within the club. As a business man (I assume you are self employed) isn't it the case that most people start their businesses in the hope of giving their off spring a future. Ted owned WTRLFC, it was part of his business portfolio - as such he was entitled to employ whom ever he wished so why is it even an issue - he was after all paying them with his own money from one of his own companies. This particular charged leveled at Ted is so flawed it's ludicrous. Never given a job to one of your own or got one - bet the answer is no but the truth is yes.

Now move on and leave the past alone and if you must rake it up expect to be corrected if you are wrong.

I'm still out of pocket having done work for ted. You perhaps are ted and if so can I have my money for the joinery work I did? You have a point about giving family a job but at the detriment of running a business then it's a defo no. Say I make 100k a year and my overheads and running costs are 80k then perhaps giving a son or daughter a job in my shop for 70k a year is not such a good idea in the long run. Perhaps the use of calculator would have helped? Oh I forgot ted has a special bank of Ireland one he got withe the mortgage. Silly me
