Fair enough, it's obviously crossed my mind where the money is coming from, but I just can't see MC and co getting us into unmanageable debt.
As for Yorkcourt, they've managed something Houdini would have been proud of, albeit with assistance it seems.

I would've hoped any funding plans for the ground did not rely upon YorkCourt. They have shown their hand and will not stump up.

Fat chance of that! I can't see a single "real" socialist amongst the Wakefield councillors! The only one I have any real respect for is Tish, the Fev councillor.

As for the current deputy, she has always made her way on other b*ggers efforts! Incapable of making a coherent speech.

You are way more knowledgeable on these things than humble supporters like me but, surely, the rent that was payable previously would be enough to service the loan ?
As for any funding to rebuild the ground, I've absolutely no idea but, the very fact that this is being spoken about, has to be a good thing and at least, while we are in SL and while we are allowed to continue playing in a "sub standard" ground, at least we have some level of control ?

Whilst Box has moved on to now spread his despotic ways over all Yorkshire rather than just Wakefield, I'm afraid it's gonna be a long time before the Box "effect" disappears from WMDC. Surely after the whole Verity affair re finance and bullying, the selection committee at Welcome to Yorkshire should have been aware of Box's reputation, and known better than to appoint him.

What's Mackie going do with out his mucca ?

Ought to hang his head in shame what this once beautiful and proud city has been turned into .lets hope whoever gets in start the long process of building this city back up ,and be held accountable for their actions unlike the untouchable who has gone before .

Unsurprisingly Denise Jeffrey voted in as the new council leader. Don't expect much to change.

This was my fear.

I don't think she will be as strong

So Castleford is going to continue to prosper to the detriment Wakefield and the rest of the metropolitan area, then. She's as bad as her predecessor.

Yes she is, she used to live in the thornes area but looked like loosing her seat ! So she moved to Cas area & bingo, if a donkey put up as Labour it would be voted in, enough said so put on the tin hat, button down the hatches, get set for a bumpy ride, she was the councilor who spoke out against us !
