Is this a deal that you have heard about?ie; something RW is trying to put together?

If that actually happened then yes, I'd prefer it, as I think Newmarket is too far away unless you live in Stanley/Outwood like me and it could easily end up like Salford's.

Yes, ideally I would prefer it in a different location.

At the side of the M62 is a good location for travelling fans, but is a fair distance away from other catchment areas.

As others have said relief road close to old power station would be ideal.

My only fear, if potential site is moved, we will have to go through all planning application again and could fall back even further, unless other options available could be fast tracked through, which I would very much doubt.

See P.M. please.

I wonder what Yorkcourt would say to a new agreement of building a 9k capacity stadium on a different site with £2 million from the council and giving them the entire Newmarket site on the proviso that they signed a new 106 saying nothing else could open there commercially until a stadium had been built. If we use Michael Carter's previously stated roughly £1 million = 1k capacity then it's taking Yorkcourt's outlay down from £10 million to £7 million with more land at Newmarket, presumably taking their net contribution to the region of £5-6 million which seems much more reasonable.

Can anyone tell me who told the club not to bid for BV?

The council apparently.

I thought it was Yorkcourt?? As they were concerned that it may drive the price up and they were putting in a bid. Sadly that bid was not backed by any legitimate desire to show they had the funding to buy it and so ended up being sold to someone else (who actually had the funds) for less than Yorkcourt had allegedly bid.

You've been quiet lately, just popped up when the ground development turns negative.
How's Ted these days?

So, in the space of a couple of days, we get a tweet from MC saying that he is once again brassed off with the lack of progress, Sir Rodders setting up his own Community Trust to negotiate with Box and Mackie and now a statement from Box reporting alleged progress with 88M group and Yorkcourt !!
Call me cynical, but after 5 years of stone-walling and "it's nothing to do with Wakefield MDC", why does it now appear that it's Box and Co. that are apparently reporting progress and trying to put a positive spin on the situation and not the club and Supporter's Trust ???
Surely if there had been some progress, then MC would not have tweeted what he did and we would be hearing positive murmerings from him, TRB, SC and company ???
Smoke and mirrors ????

Maybe there are egos to be massaged, and perhaps now that progress is being made the people with the power want the open-top bus victory parade for themselves. Fine, if it's just about that. I'd be happy walking down Peter Box Way to the Rodney Walker Community Stadium if the damn thing got built.
