Don't know why people are slagging off IA, TRB, Sandal Cat etc. They've done more for. the club than I and others probably ever will.

I'm just as frustrated about the ground situation both with BV and NM but I'm angry at the council and the goddamn Labour Party more than anything else. I suggest people direct the anger at them and Yorkcout, what a bunch of slimely sneaky twonks.

And that's putting it lightly

Hard to disagree with the general sentiment of your post. But:
The thing is, if you don't say anything it's not hard to expect the vacuum to be filled in this way by frustrated people. All it takes is a statement with an apology for the delay in things getting sorted, it's out of our control blah blah blah and then there is at least a pretence that the fans are important in all this. Without it then Carter just creates an unnecessary problem. If he has said something then I have missed it and take it all back

Bang out of order imo

I agree.

And can I just congratulate you on the word 'twonk'.
Top effort.

Sorry to pick you up on this but there was no covenant placed on Belle Vue when it was sold by Ted.

When the planning consent was granted to develop housing on Belle Vue there was a condition placed that stated that Belle Vue could not be demolished and developed until an alternative playing field was identified in the district. When the planning consent expired there was an application to extend the consent and when this was granted a new condition (Condition 38) was inserted to remove the previous condition that stated that Belle Vue could not be demolished or redeveloped until the stadium at Newmarket was built. As much as I'm no fan of the Council I believe the credit for Condition 38 lies with them.

Condition 38 still applies and can only be removed by another application which we would object to, as we did successfully before. If the Club has left Belle Vue we would still object as Newmarket has not been built and we ultimately would be looking for it to be built to facilitate a return to Wakefield.

Bit of an old chestnut I know, but has anyone on here worked out yet why an old former council rubbish tip fifteen miles down the road was considered "Iconic" two years ago by the RL, yet Belle Vue (God bless her) isn't.

Well, that's good to know, I think most people (including me!) thought that might have gone by the wayside on us leaving Belle Vue, there's hope yet then!

Am off to watch Wakey play at Belle Vue tomorrow, anyone coming, if so i will see you there

Not sure when I was being pompous - I do try and communicate what and when I can, as do my colleagues who give of a significant chunk of their time for nothing to try and drive the stadium issue forward.

The current issue is very much about the whereabouts of the club over the next few years, not about the long term, although that is clearly linked, and it is so very complicated and so very difficult to sort. MC would have loved to have announced by now what the outcome was, but whilst it is not resolved that is impossible. Something will have to give very soon, and then we will all know what we are dealing with and where we will be headed.

I can tell you no more as there is no more to tell as yet!

Any fan in their right mind on this forum should have nothing but praise for all your and your colleagues efforts in the clubs cause. Let's hope we get some good news on our clubs future home soon

Think you agreed with me in the first part of your post sandal cat ....in the first paragraph.
