Are we getting the ground back before these fancy projects?

No. But the length of time this New Ground issue has been going might take beyond my allotted three score and ten (plus a bit more hopefully).

And believe it or not Charlie I agree with all the sentiments in this post, if only you came on here when there is the slightest positive news and added a positive note but you don't, it's always negative, if we beat Leeds by 50 you'd complain it should have been 60.
As I say, I'm as sick as the next man, how do you think we involved SWAG feel? Gutted isn't the word. I can't imagine how TRB felt when he found out, he's put far far more time and effort into this than the rest of us, he must be ragging his hair out.

Best ground in the Pennine League.

Well, we got it today Lampy Boy...and of course I didnt go..serves me right I suppose. I call it the I dont go effect.It is weird how often that happens. I go for a few, gt p'd off..stop at key point...like today!It results in me only ever seeing defeats! Glad to have some good news though and in a strang way, driving back from Wakefield to Hull at 4.30 having been to see my old, cant go any more 94 y old, there in 1928 Wakey fan Dad, and hearing the delerium of the last try score, made me laugh a great deal. Well done. About time we had some good news.

Hello SandalCat. Thank you for your reply. I can see you have put a lot into driving Trinity forward. I genuinely deeply respect that.It is not the people like you I distrust. Look, I do not pretend to know chapter and verse on all of this, but the time all this has taken, the referrals to secretaries of state, the Leeds Council shennaggins, the time and grinding slowness of it all..it is people in the corridors of power I dont trust. Something looks mighty funny about all of this. The ones it seems you have been remonstrating, negotiating and campaigning with are the ones I don't trust. Something is fishy about all of this I do NOT mean from hard working and club passionate people like you. Or at least that is what it looks like to those of us not as close to it as you. It frankly looks as fishy as high heaven...but we shall see.

I'm not sure I understand this.
Is it a definitive decision to redevelop Belle Vie or could Newmarket still be possible?

I can't tell as there is a lot of "if"s and "maybe"s in the thread.

I'm genuinely shocked to hear this.

How is it possible to wriggle out of a s106 agreement? My understanding is that they are site-specific, so the development at Newmarket Lane was considered unacceptable, but was made acceptable by the agreement to provide a Community Stadium.

Sounds like York Court have played a blinder.

Indeed. I know there are people fom SWAG on here who have put years of work into this and I am not having a go at them. I have just thought the time, delays and to-ings and fo-ings nver looked right at all. It should not take 5 years to get a project like this. HS2 will probably happen faster. Never right and I feel SWAG and the rest of us have been hoodwinked..but I know nowt so maybe those that do would keep enlightning us as much as they feel able?

The situation now is the club has no money, erm, it’s never has any money!

So no grant money either, just the developers “bribe” how much will that be?

Therefore the only money available is the developers money, yet B.V will bear no resemblance to what’s there at the moment, perhaps they will issue fans with a crack pipe on entry.

Gutted for the club and I hope BV will be redeveloped I had many happy memories at BV Do I miss Wakefield? yes Do I miss RL? No
Good luck the club will always be in my heart
