| Quote Mark Voakes="Mark Voakes"He doesnt mention the "£200K' rent , however is it beyond the wildest possibilities that this idea was floated in any talks ? That the the stadium to be transferred and run by a stadium management company, and rent this to the club / Wakey FC etc ? If so, you would assume that the council loan would also be transferred to the same management company. Stadium Management companies are pretty common thing.'"
I'm led to believe from a reliable source that the quality of the pitch has improved due to dinosaurs, unicorns and dodos grazing on it and 3 wishes being granted by a fairy godmother and a genie! I'm not sure if that's true or not but is it beyond the wildest possibilities that it is?

| Quote Mark Voakes="Mark Voakes"Ah the old mistaken identity card - not sure it stands up, to avoid anything like that, I made my username, my actual name on Facebook.
I havent made anything up, I have put my opinion, with direct quotes from MC - you have made things up, and put a quote from a journalist to try to back up that MC said something.........its really not that hard. Just practice what you preach thats all I ask.'"
Except for the £200k rent. That wasn't an opinion.

I never posted about that on here, that was on FB, reveal yourself and discuss it on there, rather than hiding on here, and then keep bringing it up on here.
You are indeed correct, it wasn't a opinion, it was a "fact" - I had heard it and I had heard it from a reliable source - its not really a complicated issue. Whether theres truth in it, only time will tell, but I stand by that it was factual, as I did get told that, and it was told to me by someone who is reliable.

I am really not bothered - call it what you like - Poptart seems to have got his knickers in a twist over it so ask him what he would like to call it.

My source is usually very reliable so I have no reason to disbelieve them so thank you for backing that theory up.

| Quote Mark Voakes="Mark Voakes"We have 4 shareholders, who will all have friends and family who they trust, they may also have employees who they trust. Ellis may also take the same number of advisor / fellow board members / even members of a potential consortium with him to any talks - they too all have friends family etc who they believe they can trust. All of a sudden 30 or so people know, or have been told elements of the talks. Its just a big game of chinese whispers then.
Non disclosure agreements could be in place, but then again MC has just done a interview about the potential takeover, so maybe they arent.
Ted attend games regularly, he may have done some wrong things when running the club, but he is actually a proper lifelong Wakefield Fan, and not a Hull FC follower.'"

| If this was anyone else they’d be getting the old Pop Tart slap across the knuckles and ‘use DM’s if you want to continue your spat’. Are the rules different for moderators?

I was thinking it was a discussion worth seeing rather than private mail.
But its a fair point and I've run out of steam anyway.
