Have they actually named Rodders? If so where?

A Couple of more points.

They try to mitigate this decision by saying there were no objections.

Firstly one must ask, if there were objections could this have been stopped unless it was included in the trigger area ? To me they are suggesting if objections were lodged, it could have been. This then tells me they did have had the power to over rule this, so why the hell didn't they ! they must have fully realised what they were doing.


Secondly if they had no alternative but to allow it as they purport. If I was the developer, I would instruct the architect that draws up the next scheme to ensure some part of it is again over 25 mts tall. Then this whole process will be followed again and this will also be passed outside the development.

Yorkcourt could carry on like that and fill up the site without a brick being laid at a stadium.

Just looks like it was a stitch up all along to me from what I read here (you don't say... I know) You build your storage facility, we'll get it by for you says WMDC, but build lots of nice little get our clauses in for you so you don't ever have to build that pesky stadium. That'll keep that lot at'Rugby ground quiet a while. One wonders why the Council did that .....

So amidst all this Newmarket bluster. Has Manni of 88M washed his hands of a refurbished BV, I seem to remember he promised a 3D model of a new and improved BV shortly after buying it.

This is an assumption from me but I would guess that would have been dependent on some sort of commitment to him financially if Newmarket was off why spend money on BV if the club are to move

Think the council have said things along the lines of they'd met with the chairman of the trust which is of course Rodders.

A response from Mary Creagh; Thank you very much for contacting me recently regarding Wakefield Trinity. I share your concerns over the lack of progress for a new stadium. Wakefield Trinity is at the heart of our sport in Wakefield and I am sad to hear the club has given notice to quit Belle Vue. I have fully supported plans for a new stadium since being elected MP for Wakefield 12 years ago and have published on my website the correspondence I have had with the Club, the Trust, Wakefield Council and Government ministers on this issue. Available at: www.marycreagh.com/wakefield_trinity_stadium_update2 As you are aware, Conservative Ministers approved a planning application on green belt land in Stanley on condition a new community stadium was built. Last year, I asked the Department for Communities and Local Government what steps they were taking to monitor construction of a new stadium and I have enclosed a written ministerial response I received from Gavin Barwell MP, Minister of State for Housing and Planning, for your information. There are four organisations involved in the process of securing a new stadium: the Club, the Trust, Wakefield Council and the developer Yorkcourt Properties. In a situation like this, it’s about trying to bring all four organisations to the table to ensure Wakefield Trinity have a suitable ground that will allow them to compete and succeed in the Super League. I’ve had several meetings with the Trust since it was set up, and continue to correspond with the Club and the Council to seek updates on what action is being taken to ensure that the Club has a stadium for next season. I have also recently met with the developer to press upon him the need for a partnership approach to secure a new or redeveloped stadium for the club as soon as possible. I know that another meeting is also planned between the Council, the developer and the club to map out a way forward. Please be assured that I will continue to work with the Trust, the Club, the developer and the Council to secure the future of the club and the new stadium. Thank you again for contacting me about this matter, and please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to discuss this or any other matter. Yours sincerely Mary Creagh

I emailed Mary and got a reply from someone else wanting to know where I live in case I don't live in constituency...

The last piece of correspondence..
It's not upto the S.o.S to implement the agreement it's the responsibility of the local authority...

Council statement says you have to reach both trigger points , 60,000 sqm AND 2m funding.
