Do you know, I jokingly said the same to a kid at work but stranger things have happened. It would be funny though if it were to happen

Let's ground share, build it in Normy!

I had been told a while ago that Mick Carter had told Steve Gill where mistakes had been made with Newmarket, signed agreements etc.

Haw hill park would suit you wouldn't it pal?

I have to say it does seem convenient that he has come out with this now, knowing a project of this nature will take years to complete, when the original application expires in December..... I appreciate the pressure he has been put under but it just doesn't ring true to me that he has seemingly succumbed so quickly and easily. I don't believe for a second that this has just been gathering dust in a lever arch file....

Considering cas have a "potential" date to move in for 2020 (nothing more than potential) I'm not sure how long it'll take for the Newmarket development to come to fruition, considering these trigger points are still a fair bit away.

Hopefully the application renewal, if required, is a fairly straightforward process.

Box being a cas fan is irrelevant to me. I've never liked the bloke and I've had experiences to form quite a solid opinion.

That being said, sometimes it's better the devil you know. A big upheaval in the council cabinet could be as much of a hindrance as a help.

With regard to box using the Newmarket development as a toe dipper for the castleford one, I really can't see that being the case.

Bear in mind Carter and Gill are both very down to earth and practical business men, and they have an excellent relationship as far as I am aware. This can only be positive for rugby league in the area AND for both developments.

Carter has said recently that if he & Steve Gill had been at the helm a few years ago, a shared stadium would've already been sorted. Both are shrewd operators & have transformed both clubs respectively!

From whats gone on so far any number less than 60,000 means jack (imo)

Let's hope Andrea Jenkins can hold on to her seat now the snap General Election has been called. Last thing we need is Ed Balls back in place.

Well as Wakefield voted 66% for Brexit, she should do ok

With a snap general election now called it is good time to keep up this pressure for more transparency.

Although brought up with deep labour roots I think Jeremy Corbin is a disaster for anyone other than the far left.

Might not be a bad idea for Wakefield to turn blue for a few years especially if the back our pursuit of a new stadium.

Think Norman Hazell once got within 300 or so votes of Walter Harrison when Nationally it was Thatcher v Foot.
Maybe May v Corbin is as near as we've had since?

Might be an idea to keep politics off this forum - or youll get people like me mouthing off and Id rather stick to rugby on here.

Anyway, while Im here...

Mary Creagh is probably cacking herself. Not only did Wakefield vote massively in favour of BREXIT, only to be told by her that they'd got it wrong, but she has alienated many Labour voters by supporting the Blairite cheerleaders known as Progress (or Tory-Lite as I prefer to call them). Wakefield probably would've gone blue if the boundary changes had had time to come into effect because large parts of the south of wakefield, a VERY Tory area (Newmilledam, Pledwick etc.) would have been moved from the Hemsworth constituency into the Wakefield constituency giving the blue vote a considerable boost.
