Mike Harding is a good comeadian alright if he thinks he is going to stop the Newmarket development

Had a chit chat with some one in the know been told the outcome of the enquiry is 50/50 its in every ones interest to attend the demonstrations organised by the organisers on the said dates trust me its in the ballance it could go either way a good strong ballance Wakefields way could just swing it, nothings sealed.

Would get too over confident if I was you, this PI is far from a forgone conclusion. As has been stated its very much in the balance yet, we need to get there on the 6th and make our presence felt.

It was humour, makes a tasty change from acidic bickering.

Update on the Mike Harding/Ramblers Association rumour.

Rothwell Footpath Group (Affiliated to the Ramblers Association) have written a letter to the planning inspector dated 6th November 2011...

...that is it, oh, and it is a short letter!

As you were!

Booked the 6th off work. For the City of Wakefield, The future of sport in our CITY and for more civic pride in our CITY I'll be there

Top man! Thank you very much!

And a massive thank you to anyone who is planning to join us on the day - let's make this one the biggest yet!!!!

It's on the club website, in the WE and has been sent to all the press as well.

After Tuesday we reckon we'll get some coverage!

I'm booking morning off work. Couldn't make it last time, not missing it this time!

Finish my nightshift at 6am, and should be getting some zzz's, but I'll be there....who needs sleep anyway..

Just read a lovely and poetic rant on that other Cas site 'Wakey Planning' thread, total poppycock but poetic all the same.

Apparently Newmarket colliery is now almost a wildlife preserve and lots of ramblers and walkers who don't want to pollute the air by using their cars to drive into the Dales now use Newmarket as a substitute.

Apparently all Wakefield fans who say that Newmarket isn't used for fly tipping and say its an eyesore are being economical with the truth. There's beauty and serenity at Newmarket but no rubbish and it's not an industrial wasteland.

After reading this I felt moved, I felt ashamed!

So I did as the poster suggested and I went to Google earth and took another look at the site, I was puzzled by something, lots of speckles all over the site!
What on earth could that be, some kind of rare plant I thought, maybe a flock of rare wild birds resting in Eden like beauty, serenity and safety of this natural sanctuary!

Intrigued I zoomed in only to have my illusions shattered by the sight of hundreds of old rubber tyres scattered all over the place!

Give me a break!

So cas have a thread on their own forum dedicated to the Wakefield & district community Stadium. The rumour of it being their new home must be true then or they're obsessed with us and our City

They make very fine substitute nests for all the Ospreys down there.
