| Quote ="DAVE@CAS1990"Wowzer. This statement from Mr Carter this evening has just linked all the pieces together for me. And I must say, what a devious and clever little game the other 3 parties (SRW, PB & YC) have played. Outrageous, but clearly used their years of experience in these matters to well and truly back WT into a corner.
SRW stepping down from the Trust all of a sudden, PB becoming empathetic and finding a new desire all of a sudden, the secret un-minuted meetings..... It all makes perfect sense to me now.
Forgive my pessimistic approach, but I see it in very basic terms:
They've found a way to publicly and collectively show unwavering support for the development, whilst finding a way to offer completely unsuitable terms for it from the off (MC and CB to stand down, revenue constraints etc). Hence when Wakefield reject the terms, they can walk away saying "we did all we could but WT have shot it down themselves.
What MC appears to have done, quite rightly, is say "right, ok.... If they're the terms, and we must stand down, then we shall! Off you go and get the stadium delivered!"
It'll be an interesting next move from the other 3 parties. But the opaque nature of the proceedings suggest that not everyone is working towards a common goal here.
It seems absolutely impossible to me that a stadium can be built from now, to be ready for the 2019 season, 18 months away.
They've operated like a python, squeezing and literally suffocating the life out of the club. It's a disgrace to the people who have worked so tirelessly for absolutely no personal gain.'"
Extremely well put Dave. Good that others can see what has been going on over the last seven years. |

Sir RW who spearheads the new Trust named "Wakefield Community Stadium Charitable Trust" has said in his latest interview re the new Stadium that leading business figures and Lawers have been appointed. He then goes on to say "i'm hoping that we can make real progress,start building later in the year and get it in use as soon as possible" |

Not sure on that TBH Tricky.
Going back to revenue streams briefly, I was in a discussion the other week on a forum page on FB, comparing revenues in SL to NRL. Away from the sponsorship and advertising deals that are bigger than ours, they make a lot of money from casinos and gaming etc.
I spoke to a mate of mine who has strong links with Penrith, and their memberships clubs has about 1000 slots. That is food for thought as to how much that brings in.
Not sure but wasnt the Wakefield Theatre Club initially intended for something similar.I was a 70s child so not old enough to elaborate there on the history of it.
Maybe something central to the city would have worked better

Prior to it becoming the Wakefield Theatre Club it was the Wakefield Trinity Social Club. I was only young myself so you can see know long ago it was bu I recall that it was supposed to be like the Aussie League Clubs with slots and gambling but I think it was prevented by the gaming laws at the time. It failed and was sold and became the Theatre Club. |

Dont know how long the post has been on the WT website but, it makes for a depressing read.
We appear as far away as ever, from having a new ground and you have to feel for MC and CB (plus the other members of the Community Trust), who, yet again are being shafted by WMDC and Yorkcourt.
It's just beyond me that SRW needs to form a new trust to deliver the stadium, as without some input from those in charge of the club, how could the stadium ever be delivered to meet any of the clubs needs.
