Shouldn't that be every tea time. Obsessed.


I think you have probably guessed the main protaganists are disgruntled share holders who have had their noses put out of joint but some of their complaints do seem justified.
Any way all the very best to you and your family and every one else on here be the friend or foe.

Although you're a Cas fan NGB4W, I've never had any grudge against you. You tend to usually put your points fairly and honestly. So happy new year to you and all others on this site!!!

Your right it was in a form of land that the clubs could get loans up to a value of £2m. I think it's been brought up again because Box was on radio just over a week ago and obviously got a few questions chucked his way and he actually said that both us and Cas were given £2m, which makes it sound very different to the casual listener and makes it seem like they've gone above and beyond in all this. He also pointed fingers in other directions as to why Newmarket hasn't been built to original spec, namely the S of S at the time, which is some special kind of buck shifting. Also, don't remember anything about Fev getting any land to borrow against, could be wrong mind, because both our money was on the precursor that it went towards new grounds. Didn't your stadium plans at the time fall through at Glasshoughton not long after anyway?

There's a thread with a bit of discussion about what Box said on the radio here.

As for your question, someone from the Trust may be able to answer, that's if they post anymore on here.

Box is waiting for Wakefield to get kicked out of SL for having a substandard ground, before he gives the rubber stamp go ahead for the Cas ground.

I'm a bit surprised nobody has picked up on the fact that Box and his esteemed colleagues recently lent £2m to Northamptonshire County Council, which he was confident "would be paid back" (reported in the Wakefield Express). A council which is due to be abolished in the next few months, because of financial mismanagement and be restructured as 2 or 3 smaller districts. If I was a Wakefield taxpayer I would be pretty annoyed at this. He seems happy to throw money at a heavily debt ridden Council but not do anything for the people of the Wakefield District.

Completely forgot about this. First I heard of it was on the way to work on Ridings FM about a month or so ago - to say I was stunned would be an understatement.

It was a council to council loan nothing out of the ordinary here just like when Iceland got into trouble lots of Authorities had loans in jeapordy.
Nothing in the Northampton matter.

The fact that MC hasn’t threatened to go to the high court suggests that (meaningful) talks must be ongoing. The reassuring fact from our point of view is that MC won’t allow these talks to be drawn out indefinitely. The clock must surely have very nearly run out.

One of the major differences between the usual council to council loan and this one, is the receiving council is not usually in the process of being abolished. I would think that makes a huge difference.

I held off from posting this as I was sure some one else would as it seems to be good news. In last weeks League Express Martyn Sadler's column carried the headline "Good news for Wakefield". In it he said "The really good news will hopefully come out in the new year. I'm told there have been some productive talks about the potential redeveloped stadium at Belle Vue
And although there is still some work to do, the prospects now look more promising than they have done for some time.
At the moment I can't say any more than that."
It then gets a little confusing as he starts talking about a new stadium rather than a re-developed one.
"But if we do finally get the go ahead on a new stadium for Wakefield at some point in the New Year, it will surely qualify as one of the most significant moments of 2019".
What puzzles me is that if Martyn Sadler knows then surely the trust or some one at the club would know and would want to share the good news.

The club or trust probably want to wait until everything is signed off of before announcing anything, nothing puzzling about it especially with all the false dawns over the years. Hopefully finally positive stadium news.
