| As a point of note don't think for a second Andrea Jenkins will give two hoots about this stadium now the proposed boundary changes will take her out of Wakefield altogether.
No votes = No interest.
For what it's worth giving my background in planning and looking at the plans in the public domain i'd advise you all to heed what Vastman was saying, too much of this development doesn't add up. And the other are right about Box, wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

| By the way that doesn't mean it won't happpen in some form but i'd be very wary if I was in charge and keep an eye out for the moving of the goalposts which will surely come, especially after the convenient excuse of the autumn budget next month. Money talks.

A modern stadium with reasonable parking and access, hotel/student accommodation, plus a small supermarket all on that small problematic site, if anyone can add that up then they must be a genius.
I have often wondered which will have the most re incarnations, our stadium plans or Dr Who.
Whatever the number we reach I think this idea will be one of the shortest of time frames. Nevertheless there could be several further offerings that will no doubt fail and as long as Belle Vue is in place it is an ideal fall back option to build up false expectation for all those blinded by the nostalgia of remaining at old dump

| Quote Prince Buster="Prince Buster"Box knows he is totally untouchable by publicity. No matter how bad he is portrayed he knows full well he will always remain in power because he is Labour and democratically irremovable.
He also knows there are no councillors who dare question him. They are all gutless and only looking after their own selfish interests.
Local MP's have no power over him whatsoever. The Labour ones will always put the party first no matter what. The tory Lass is held in total contempt by Box and he has no fear of her whatsoever.
He just rides bad publicity by lying and making false promises to take the heat away.
The only way to remove him is by the courts and legal process. I truly hope that day will arrive and the guy will get what he deserves.'"
I'm not convinced Box hates us. I just don't think he gives a stuff. If someone came along with the cash and said they would build it he'd lap it up. Politicians love shiny things that they can open and claim credit for. What he won't do is sort it himself or put his neck on the line he simply doesn't have the need or the will. Frankly I don't think he gives a stuff about Cas either he just has to look a bit more like he does in their case.
He's not untouchable - people like him make enemies and make mistakes, especially after so many years in power. He will have become arrogant and complacent - somewhere there is a ticking bomb.
Anyone know what or where it is?
What about some of your old colleagues are you owed any favours or are they all retired now

| I guess this is what this six week process is all about. Carter was initially positive about it (the pic in the Express is still painfully ingrained on my mind). He comes across on the pessimistic side when it comes to the stadium issue which probably swayed people's opinion on it also. After 4 weeks nothing official has come out yet. Until then we're all guessing (educated ones from some).

| Quote Manuel="Manuel"Mr. Vastman. I know you like the last word. I know you are not happy regarding my reference to doom mongers.
It is my nature, I have been kicked in the nuts all through my life but try to keep a positive spin on things.
however........
Approaching the three score years and ten mark, I have made lots of acquaintances and contacts. I have been informed that there may be an aroma of Grimsby that is in the background of a situation a long way from what we all want and what is perceived that others want. I am worried about libellous matters and will not go further.
The meeting is important. As are the questions to be asked direct of "all" parties. i.e. Is this the stadium we want at Belle Vue? Are we "all" in this together?
I now agree with a poster who said a statement would help from the Trust/ Club.'"
I don't see why we need a statement from the Trust or club until the deadine has passed, until then we just have to wait. Once November arrives then i think a statement on progress (or not) should be issued to keep people in the loop but not before, we set a date so at least lets keep our side of the bargain.

| Quote Prince Buster="Prince Buster"OK just for you, I will put it in a way that you may understand and be able to make a valid comparison.
Box has the same regard for Wakefield Trinity as you had for Margaret Thatcher and the tories.
So basically he will do the same to help the club as you would do to help that lot.
I hope this helps you to have a perspective of the situation.'" well if that's the case were well and truly up the creek

| To put it bluntly, this isn’t going to happen. It must be true the resident serial posters said so. Mr Carter.. why are you wasting your time Persuing this pipe-dream ? You are just as thick and wrong as the previous head honchos of Wakefield Trinity.

Have it your way. Sincerely hope you're right.

| Well there's one thing about all this, I think if there isn't something more constructive and positive revealed by the deadline then I don't think it will happen.
I appreciate fine details are probably being discussed but those involved will have had enough time by then to know whether this thing will happen or not and I really expect something being announced with a more definite statement than we have heard before, from ALL parties, otherwise forget it.
