From the information provided last night, it seemed to me that the only people preventing the newmarket stadium going ahead is Box`s ruling party. Anybody else in charge could force the 106 to be complied with. Box does not want us to have a new stadium, worse he is allowing Yorkcourt to develope Newmarket without having to build a stadium. The council are the only ones who can force Yorkcourt to comply. Box choses not to. We will never get another chance. We must get rid of Box and the only way to do this is at the ballot Box. Box stands in Cas so he will get in. So we have to make sue that Labour loses control and therefore box will no longer be leader of council. So we have to vote against Labour candidates in all our wards.

If the public of Wakefield want to vote labour in the national elections so be it. However its the local elections where we have a problem.
You say the public are not bothered about Trinity and are more concerned about schools child care etc. Well from what I can see the local councillors have also been crap in that area as well. Box and his predecessors have had total unopposed power over our City for the last 41 years and
I think Wakefield has gradually gone slowly down hill for every year of their tenure.

Not only are they treating our club with total disregard, if you open your eyes and look around the state of or City and the way its going then that alone should tell everyone its time for a change.

For what its worth my wife and i filled in our postal vote last night and for the first time in 50 years i didnt vote Labour.

I'll give you Whitwood then but altofts doesn't come under Cas.

If we go to court and win it would make no difference whether Box was in power or not, he couldn't do anything about it.

I shall vote Conservative 100%. Box has had enough chances. Box= destroy Trinity. Conservative = fresh start and ground delivered

Don't under estimate Box. Even if we win the council will still be heavily involved in the project through Highways, Planning, Safety etc.
The man will make life as difficult as possible.

Every councill officer is scared of him and every elected labour councillor dare not stand up to him. He is in total control.

What we 100% know is that a Labour controled council will never ever ever ever deliver the stadium. That is the only fact, Box will not deliver it. So do not vote Labour, vote anyone else, or if you can`t face, for what ever reason, voting for any other party, then for the good of Trinity, for the love of Trinity .... don`t vote or deface your ballot paper. Then make yourself feel better , if required , vote Labour in the General election. As I say I am not making a political point. The only fact is that a Wakefield council contolled by the local labour party lead by Box will not deliver the stadium..... and thats a fact

I think that saying any other party WILL deliver the new ground is a quantum leap.
All we do know is that the current range of local government officers have not helped delivery of the new ground.
Of course, ALL opposition MP's and councillors sound helpful but, they all want their time in power and as everyone knows, politicians of all colours
are not known for keeping pre election promises.
BUT from what we heard last night, our local council, at present, want nothing to do with the community stadium at Newmarket, and said as much
to Sandal, when he questioned Mr Box on Radio Leeds.

Finally, no politician wants to lose their seat and this means that the next few weeks give people a window to exert maximum pressure on their
local representatives.

I have contacted my councillor and pointed out how I feel about the issue and said that for the first time in my life I will be voting Conservative at the local elections.
I await his response as I asked him also to raise the issue at council meetings.
Will see if he has any 'bottle'.
