Quote Scarlet Pimpernell="Scarlet Pimpernell"I think some people on here need a dose of reality, I note that we are asking who took legal advise therefore being part of the proposal did we or the Trust. I am sorry but I am beginning to believe that the developers took advantage of our need to move and the council's need to stimulate development within Wakefield. I would guess if they had not it would have gone to Leeds and a different group of people would be complaining about the council.
I was not privy to any of the meetings but some of you were, did anyone stop and think this is a little too good or even studied the developer's proposal. Did anyone raise any questions regarding the current scenario if not then we have only ourselves to blame.
I accepted long ago that we were no longer the force we were many years ago, but we survived more by luck but together with the team.
This season it is no longer the case and if you believe like our chairman that Wakefield is begging for an a community stadium then why can this not now be the Castleford project. The council could agree and say that in order to fulfill this request we are backing the Castleford stadium.
I also would remind some on here that to get elected a politician will say anything. I read the leaflet from the Conservative party it stated he was a Leeds United fan but only a follower of WT which would suggest this was added in an hope to boost his numbers. We do not even have enough supporters left to make a great deal of different to the outcome in Wakefield because how many still live in this constituency. With regards Box I believe he is the councillor for Castleford but I will stand corrected but if so how are you going to unseat him if he is so pro Castleford.'"
Again - very helpful! Who do you think we are? I work in Landscaping, but it hasn't stopped me trying to apply myself to try and get a resolution. Others clearly have more foresight than me, or is that hindsight?
Put it this way, we need a dose of reality as much as we need supporters who know how it should have been done better than we did!
NB - you don't have to be a die hard supporter to understand that a massive injustice has occurred, in fact I would suggest that is exactly what we are looking for, rather than just being disgruntled RL supporters!
As for Box, no, we cant touch him, but we can make life difficult for him if he remains stubbornly unreasonable.
