The alternative trust is probably a group of old men looking for one last dip in the trough.
I just feel they want more than delivery of a stadium, it feels to me they want the club as well.
I don't have many fond memories of SRW at Trinity and think like many on here, we have the best organisation this club has ever had.
The progress and stability all around are an absolute credit.

After 60 years as a supporter, I left the ground after the Warrington game in despair.
The facilities are shocking. The Labour council should be made to pay for this at election time.
Jeremy Cross, my old neighbour, where are you? Time to name and shame these ratbags.
up the Trin

I thought we had told rodders to bugger off

Some you just can't get to flush away

Read Kear's book not long ago, I am sure it made reference to Sir Rodney paying off our tax bill in the not too distant past - at the risk of going off on a tangent wasnt this the case?

Rodney has saved the club more than once I believe.

and I believe reimbursed more than fully.

If there is another trust, my thoughts are that they will be in it to make money at the clubs expense.
You get nothing free from businessmen - just ask Yorkcourt.

They have only been referenced by WMDC, I've never seen anything to confirm that they exist and you wouldn't think that there could actually be two trusts ?

Turned out later to be a "loan".

Much as I hate to be fair on rodders it may have been a loan but it was one that he knew he’d never get back. Despite what another poster states I doubt he did get it paid back but maybe DC could clarify.

He did save the club for a short while as he did once before as far as I can recall which only makes his current actions even harder to understand.

I don't know for definate, but sure I had heard someone say a while back that this was being paid for in instalments during the Glover era.

Maybe wrong here, but maybe MC can clarify either way

He used the club as a P.R, vehicle for his own long term benefit on his way up. I'm sure his current "position" is of similar personal benefit.

Before his involvement with the Trust, most people in Wakefield would have been delighted that SRW was on "our" side but, the sale of BV and how it appeared to be done changed all of that and until, he (and his new trust) come out into the open and offer some kind of valid explanation and state their aims/objectives, they are just an obstacle and seem only there to muddy the waters and hamper the negotiations regarding the community stadium.
They (the other trust), assuming that it exists either need to show themselves or bugger off.

I know that politics is far from straight forward and property development even less so but, while all of the cloak and dagger stuff rumbles on, the very future of Wakefield Trinity remains in doubt.

Time to put up or shut up.

Well said Wrencat.

Totally agree with you.

If SRW is a honest man he should be open about his trust and explain why it exists and let everyone know why he signed what he did with regard to Newmarket.
