Well if he's such a good mate, have a word!

If Newmarket passes the PI, Cas will play there with us in 2-3 years time.

Right, I have just popped over to the other forum to have a look.

It seems that one poster is intimating that TRB and I know something about something, and that something may or may not include Mike Harding and the Ramblers Association and we may know about some plan that 'they' are planning for the day. It also intimates that because we may, or may not, know something, we are worried about what we do or don't know and are therefore telling everyone not to be complacent!!!

Well, I am as confused as you are and 'we' are nothing but positive about the whole PI process and changing government policy. 'We' are telling people not to be complacent because 'we' are not being complacent and because complacency often leads to arrogance and breeds contempt, and we don't want either to become a feature of our support to this scheme, win or lose!

I hope that clears that up!

So, no idea about this Mike Harding thing, or anything else that has been posted on the other forum, but I am not worried either way... we are not being complacent, we are open and ready for anything.

We will be aiming to muster all and any who are able to come down and join us.

We have met this week to discuss various aspects of the event itself and period around it and will have more details as we get nearer the time.

This is Wakefield's chance to provide facilities for sport in the 21st century - let's make sure it happens!

Oh, and in case anyone else is reading this - I am cautious - not concerned!

If you're talking about the last line - apologies, it is aimed at another forum!

Have you not been sent your code book yet Clan... TRB, sort it out!

Jesus I hope not.

I don't know if I've been living in a bubble but who is Mike Harding? I'm pretty sure he’s not someone to sway public opinion heavily or have such a high profile that media will be swarming around him. All sounds desperate wishful thinking on our opponent’s behalf.

President of the ramblers association, or so i'm told.

Quite a good comedian and also known as "The Rochdale Cowboy". Had a hit and appeared on Top of the Pops singing "Its hard being a cowboy in Rochdale".

Used to like him but that will change if he objects/protests over Newmarket.

Doubt they will have anything to do with Newmarket. Can't see Ramblers Association going in for covert demo organising in respect of old colliery sites. Their issues are access on rights of way over private land, not the development of mixed brown and green belt sites. Their profile is mass rambles across land where the landowner is trying to restrict rights of way.

Sounds like someone trying to whip up support that doesn't exist, in the sense that if you tell ramblers that other ramblers are demonstrating, some ramblers might turn up to see what the other ramblers are demonstrating about. Sorry, started rambling then.

I'd say that sounds about right, Slugger.

Thanks for the info everyone,think i'm getting a bit paranoid in my old age! Just got back from Hull and can't wait untill i'm sat in a similiar shiny stadium with red,white and blue seats!
