| If this is another WMDC & YCP scam then why has Sir Rodney seemingly backed it?

| Sick of all this dishonest, smoke and mirrors bull crap - presuming what MC is saying is true (and I believe him, considering). All just to keep the status quo, ultimately for financial and political gain. York Court need to stick to what was agreed instead of engaging in, quite frankly, corrupt ways. More noise needs to be made about this whole situation in my opinion.

Wakefield Trinity Wildcats could stay in the city after a bid to buy the club’s current home at Belle Vue was submitted.
Yorkcourt Properties has made an offer to the ground’s current owners Bank of Ireland to buy the ground with the aim of then renting it back to the club at a reduced cost.
If agreed, Wildcats could then continue to play home games at Belle Vue until Yorkcourt Properties has built a new community stadium at Newmarket, which is expected to be complete “within five years.”
Last month Wildcats chairman Michael Carter announced the club had served its six months notice to leave Belle Vue saying the rent the club is paying is “unsustainable”, though they would be willing to stay if it can be renegotiated.
He also said he had met Dewsbury Rams chairman Mark Sawyer to discuss the possibility of a ground share and that the Cats could leave Wakefield by the end of 2015.
If the Cats did leave Wakefield it would leave the city without a professional sports team.
The Express contacted Wakefield Wildcats about the new proposal to buy Belle Vue but was told Mr Carter was unavailable for comment.
Sir Rodney Walker, chairman of Wakefield and District Community Stadium Trust, said

| Colin Mackie and WMDC collude once again to gloss over their fraudulent behaviour; with, it would seem, Rodney Walker's cooperation.
It gets better!

| Shame it appears to be a bit of a front, it the best news we've had for a while, something to generate a bit of positivity around the place.
I wonder why Carter wasn’t available for comment, was he just not asked?
What’s Walker’s angle?

| I suppose it doesn't really matter where we play next if we go down because the club won't survive for long in the championship.

Mc said on Facebook he was asked to comment yesterday by the WE but said there was nothing to say as the 'deal' isn't even a deal yet, so you can't talk about something when there's nothing to say!!!

| I find it very naïve of the WE to splash this literally all over the front page if there is no substance in it. Where the hell are their reporters in all this? They just seem to publish what anyone tells them at face value, without enquiring as to how genuine the story is! Assuming of course, that it is yet another false hope for the long suffering Wakefield Supporters.

That's the worrying bit for me. If the offer is as derisory as Michael Carter has suggested then why is Sir Rodney talking it up?? I don't doubt for one minute that this is a ploy to make Yorkcourt and the Council look good but why is Rodney not saying the same as Michael Carter?
Quite frankly, I could make an offer to BOI to buy Belle Vue and rent it back to the club but I can't see them accepting the £5 that I have spare this week!!
I realise that on the face of it it seemed like a really positive bit of news but to me they should either have said nothing until a deal was agreed, or they should make it known what they have offered to BOI to buy it so that we can see they are serious about it and not just looking for a bit of positive publicity.

The story was pushed by the Council & Yorkcourt. Michael would not comment as there is nothing of substance yet to comment on.

No surprise that a newspaper try's to increase it's readership with an interesting headline.
Plenty of folk will buy the paper to see what "the bid" is all about.
The Express could help Trinity by keeping the stadium issue on the front pages and help put pressure on the council and Yorkcourt but, it seems that they aren't bothered about Trinity, unless it helps them move a few extra copies.

| It could just be that the wakey exp have been given the story without much detail. It used to be that the express covered load of news on trinity and probably were given heads up on breaking news by the club. Now because of social media the paper gets the story well past its sell by date. I think the club could and probably should develop a much better relationship with the express.

So his comment to the WE could've been what he has since said on social media.
On another note is this the offer to the BOI that Carter referred to a few weeks back?

Newspapers do it all the time, so the local rag is no different. Hence why I never buy one.
