Although I would be happy to see someone with his assets supporting our club, I said in the winter that I was concerned that he saw us as a way of furthering his football ambitions. Nothing I've read today changes my mind on that. All that's changed is the identity of the rugby club.
I'm happy with a chairman who is interested only in the rugby club, and is doing what he can to turn a complete mess in too short a time-frame.

| Quote The Clan="The Clan"That was never the plan, the idea is to keep the whole Guiseley set up where it is in terms of juniors, Academy, & Reserves but the senior team can not move up the leagues if they remain in there current home.
So they either accept that they've reached the ceiling or their league ambitions or they move home. Developing The stadium might offer some improvement but they are limited to what they can do and the ambitions of the Guiseley board exceeds the potential of their current ground, so they don't want to spend money to develop it.
The other factor is Leeds Utd, the thinking at Guiseley is that even if they went all the way to the Championship their crowd potential will always be hamstrung by Utds presence and strength of support. Wakefield offers the countries largest City without Football League representation and luckily for them it's not that far away when you consider it in terms of creating a new powerful Club capable of doing what Wigan have done (Wigan went from the league below where Guiseley are to the PL in just a few short years).'"
It sounds almost like the scenario with Emley FC.   |

| Quote vastman="vastman":CLAP: To quote other threads he is an investor I just don't get!
So far he's been a monumental non event yet somehow his myth as saviour has grown to epic proportions. I'm still not 100% sure AG is the answer but at least he's here and doing stuff. The fantasist on here who see him as the new messiah need to give their heads a shake as he strike me as user wanting a club totally for his own purposes. If he cared for Trinity in any genuine way he'd own it by now, he's been offered it at least twice in the last 6 month - what's the problem for a man with an estimated wealth of 200 million.
I don't trust him at all, he's no Ken Davy.'"
Hear hear! Looks like an opportunist with a hidden agenda to me |

Agreed. A football club in Wakefield will not attract any support unless it is in the Football League. Why would it otherwise? People in Wakefield, and their families, have had over 100 years to grow allegences to Leeds, Huddersfield, Barnsley, the Sheffield clubs and further afield. If they want to watch football, they don't have to go too far away.
We can see with what happened to Emley, the demise of Wakefield RFC, and with our crowds which are on the rise after years of poor attendances, the Wakefield public is apathetic to sport in the city. Guiseley at Newmarket wouldn't change that a bit. |

The differences being Emley had zero money and were playing Unibond North Premier League football.
Th Guiseley/Wakefield club would be cash rich and playing in the Conference proper or Championship2 division of the Football League.
Then there's the probability that they would be playing at Newmarket and have much closer working ties with the rugby club.

From what I was told Parkin and Ferres walked away at the death due to the access routes in and out of Newmarket.
I was also told to watch this space ref Cas.
I have no reason to believe or disbelieve but it came from somebody who is very close to them.

Not saying you're wrong but when did Ferres become involved, first I've heard  |

Ferres' name was definitely mentioned at the time of SP's interest, prior to administration.
Not 100% clear how he was involved, but his name was mentioned.

I think it was along the lines of if Parkin bought the club he would get Ferres to run it. |
