Quote: bren2k "You kind of have to accept this kind of bullshiz when dealing with politicians; if they backtrack or roll over, there will always be a face-saving spin. So long as it moves things forward, who cares?
But make no mistake - this is a victory; the Daily Star and the Indie did us a huge favour, and the subsequent sound and fury on social media and locally, pushed Mr Box into a corner - hence this development, which is very significant.
When will there be more detail about what exactly is already included - and is that the figure before the proposed extension to Newcold?'"
Just got back from the meeting and agree entirely. Without the nationals getting involved and the deluge of letters to councillors & MP's the subject of a community stadium for Wakefield would not have even been on the agenda. Chuckled to myself as he explained his dismay about the articles appearing just as he was at the end of months of meetings and negotiations to get this deal for the people of Wakefield...whatever Mr Box. However you want to save face is fine with me just as long as you are true to your televised words of today.
The pressure must stay on the council as while i know there are no elections this time around, if in twelve months time we are no further forward we should be holding the councils feet firmly to the fire.
