| Quote: bellycouldtackle "Box. Jeffries and Wallhead want a trust that they can control, they want Walker in charge. They want a trust that asks no questions and means that Walker can do what he wants on behalf of the council. Look at the way the coldstore was allowed to be built at Newmarket, that was Walker and the council.The trust at the time, chaired by Walker never questioned it. The Trust now questions everything, Walker stormed off in a hissy fit. Box then says that Yorkcourt and 88m refuse to work with the existing trust so new trust has to be formed, Box hand picks and appoints the new trust members. Let me guess Hincliffe and Walker will be two of the councils mates to be on new board. All Box. Jeffries and Wallhead want is for Yorkcourt and 88M to get what they want, they dont care a jot about the club, the community or any of us. As I have said many times BV is a joke project, it will not work. We also know that Yorcort are not going to build a community stadium at Newmarket, they want to build houses and make like bandits, Box and his cronies want this to happen as they want the club to wither and die. Lets get to Dewsbury and get there fast
lET'"
belly - I spoke to David Hinchliffe earlier this week when we got wind of this new trust WMDC were planning to set-up. He hasn't been invited and he is personally disgusted and outraged at Peter Box & the councils actions. If they did now invite him, I highly doubt he would resign from the Trust and join them, given our conversation.

| I don't think anyone could question David Hinchliffe's support of Wakefield Trinity.

what does this mean then?
Eric contacted me via email and tendered his resignation from the Wakefield & District Community Trust on the 23rd January 2018. I accepted his resignation.
The Wakefield & District Community Trust now has 5 remaining Directors, all of whom have committed to me to staying on board and none of us have been invited by WMDC to join this new Trust... make of that what you will!!!
The Trust is now made up of the following remaining trustees/board members -
Jonathan Stone - Chairman
Michael Carter
Chris Brereton
Ian Bramley
David Hinchliffe

Exactly what it says.
He resigned from the Wakefield Wildcats Community Trust which was the Club's Trust for working in the Community in April 2011 and he resigned from the Wakefield & District Community Trust which you may know as the existing Stadium Trust on Tuesday of this week.

Your patience is amazing. The smell is unbelievable.

| I've met Eric a few times and I assume he was trusted to be on the current Trust, so I assume not all bad. I know that he is a fan of the club and attends games home and away, and was a club director when the whole Newmarket thing started. I'd like to think he'd act in the clubs best interests as a fan. CB and MC might have their own views as to how well he runs a club, and at least Rodney isn't currently involved, but that doesn't mean he'd act against the interests of the club.
If we work on the assumption that Box does not want to deal with the club owners directly, Eric might be a good choice, if it's a way of getting the job done. I can't imagine he'd act against the best interests of the club.
Perhaps I'm being too charitable, but if this is the best way of achieving what is hoped to be achieved, fine. If, however, it's the beginning of a route to herald the return of Rodney, then we know it stinks.
Let's see what happens and then judge. I can't imagine Eric would want to be involved with something that would ultimately cause the club to end up being booted out of Super League. Those more closely involved might be more cynical than me, I accept that.

| Slugger the question is why does Box not want to deal with the club owners ? the answer is that the club owners want Box to delivery a stadium, as promised fit for the Community whist Box wants to destroy the club, keep Yorkcort, 88m and Walker happy and rich. There is no deal to do whilst ever Box is around or when BV is the amswer

Unfortunately, we'll only find out at the end of everything. Thinking pragmatically, if Box and Co don't intend to deliver a stadium, one will not be delivered, regardless of who is on the Trust. If, however, Box wants to deal with different people because he wants to avoid blame for the delay, by saying that it was the attitude of the original Trust that was the stumbling block, but a stadium follows, I can live with that. Let him have his day on the winners podium.
The issue is whether any new Trust delivers a stadium on terms acceptable to the club. If not, then it stinks. If so, fine. It's the desired outcome that matters, not how it is achieved.
The fact that Eric was on the Trust until last week, and is a fan of the club, just makes me think it might be okay, and that this is Box's way of saving face when the new Trust achieves the deal.
If the end result is nothing, it was always going to be nothing, and we've lost nothing, but I cant see Eric wanting to be part of that.

| How utterly depressing are the shenanigans of Wakefield Council. Box, Jeffries et all have zero interest in a future for Wakefield Trinity and it makes my blood boil just thinking of what they are scheming up now to yet again shaft our club.

I understand what you are saying, however, IF you are correct in your assumptions, that would point to MC & CB being the "stumbling block" and quite frankly, after all that they have done for Trinity since they took over, I just dont buy it.
Of course they have a substantial stake in Trinity and they would be expected to, first and foremost, protect that stake.
However, this just smells like Box STILL not wanting to enforce any stadium build, despite what has gone on at Newmarket and with Newcold and that he wishes to deal with his "cronies".
The issue that irks most Trinity fans is that any new stadium/re-build / community facilities, looks further away now than they have ever done and as a Trinity fan for 30 years and having been through thin and thinner and protested outside County Hall and the Town Hall, it breaks my heart that the political will in the district, to get this done, still remains at ZERO.
Massive credit is due to MC & CB for the position the club both on and off the field, which apart from the stadium, is the best it's been for all of the 30 years that I've been following Trinity and this is utterly in spite of those who have put and are still putting self interest above Wakefield Trinity.
Box must laugh when he considers the cul de sac that Trinity are being driven down and it's an utter disgrace that this can happen in a democracy, both at local and National level.

| Such a shame as I always knew Ted was dodgy even though I quite liked him but Eric I always found a gent and I'm surprised. However old men who have had power find it hard to let go and Eric has clearly sucummed. However I have no doubt Ted has been involved and along with Walker is lurking in the shadows which as already noted would be a total disaster.
One thing I would like to implore MC to do is not give way to these two parasites, you've done some tremendous stuff don't let them rob you of the rewards and the credit,
I'd honestly rather the club go bust than have that Walker and Ted back. Don't normally indulge in back slapping but they don't deserve to get their grubby hands on what you two have created
