Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Strangely I think there is a huge amount of sympathy for you , this situation you find yourself in was predicted by many of us lower tier fans 3/4 years ago
It seems we were right
The RFL are willing to provide Championship clubs with money to ' chase ' sponsorship and corporate finance , when as you have discovered , it is basically impossible without a cast iron guarantee of what you can achieve , noody with money will support any club with a glass ceiling above it , just as you are struggling to bring in finance as you are walking on a frozen pond
Franchising eh , great innit |

Did Ellery Hanley's dad play rugby league when he was growing up in the Caribbean? If there's loads of Poles in Wakefield, Trinity should be doing their damnedest to get them involved, not using it as an excuse.'"
no but they were born into a rugby league culture and spent there life round one. why dont they play rl in barnsley or newcastle because its not in there upbringing weve spent 100 and odd years trying to spread the game and we cant spread it 10 mile down the road to an area which was a mining area. i played with ikram but as a junior but even his career didnt actually help did it |

These fans deserve better!!
Its time for some cold hard truth on this forum and it will be tough to cope with, but stringing people along with pathetic petitions and new groups to join is a waste of everybodys time!!
The facts are thus
First week in January of 2011 and already Ive found post of the year and I doubt it will ever be beaten.

Now I can only echo your sentiments and have lost total interest in it all and wouldnt shed a tear if we ceased to exist in all fairness. In my eyes things are that bad, and there would have been no way Id have been saying that 5 years ago.'"
good post, think weve spent enough coin over the years mate. |

| Quote: allmatt "Which most of the objectors are concerned about. To say that they have been dismissed is misleading to say the least.
But hey, keep up the good work with the petition which probably will be dismissed in the same way. ![]()
Come on allmatt/BigAlf you know that is not what ChampagneTroll meant and what I said had been dismissed and you know it... you know I agree with you on the valid points (I mentioned above), we only disagree on the discharging of those points, I think then can be adequately discharged and you don't... now that is at least a valid debate so don't let your high standards drop!
As for the Statements, I still don't think it is about the numbers game and on reflection I think Leeds City Council was the primary reason for the call in. However, this "no one local wants it crap" being used by the NIMBY's is just that and that is what we are going to set out to prove. Also this other bit of Tory crap, the big society, has changed the game slightly and if people do want this then they need to say so, the argument being that if similar numbers of people say yes and say no then they cancel each other out and it will come down to policy. The idea of the public meeting and Statements is to hit the issues of the B8 head on and then understand how that changes things for people. We are of course presenting our strong views but I would still argue we are not telling any lies to get peoples support, we are speculating on the LDF change being accepted, but nothing more.
Also, I have been meaning to post this for a while. I got some clarity on the site specific LDF proposal and the 95ha direct from the planning policy team. The four sites have been identified and recommended, Newmarket was the largest at 33.28 ha and a site at Shilling Hill 23.88ha, Trinity Farm (ironic!) 26.23 and a small site at Cutsyke (don't have full details on this one but about 7ha) which takes them to around 90ha and they are hoping to pick up some other options during the plan period. Interestingly, Newmarket was a clear first choice because of former use and location, as all the other sites are agricultural (and Greenbelt of course). Now they didn't tell me this but there is a rumour that they might actual extend the Newmarket site and drop either Shilling Hill or Trinity Farm from the LDF as they are all either grade 2 and 3a use! If they do then that will cover all the planned B8 at Newmarket... so it would just be the stadium and B2 that would be the remaining issues!

If anyone wants a short break from this topic have a quick view of the RED PASSION forum where the Wrexham soccer fans are accusing MOSS and ROBERTS,the owners of Crusaders as being asset strippers as they try to sell the Racecourse Ground.( With your luck at the moment they will probably have a new stadium constructed at Aberystwyth by this time next month )
For The Clan
Rod Findlay was only at the RFL for 3 years.He was a solicitor dealing with medical negligence prior to that.

I worked for the RFL in 1999 and 2000 and Rod was there then, to mu knowledge he only left the RFL two years ago so by my deduction he was there at least 9 years. |

But he was brought in to oversee the first licence process , now he seems to have turned into some kind of RFL expansion troubleshooter , but a solicitor would not be my first choice of proffessional to kick start struggling clubs |

If you worked for the RFL in those years can I ask you a little question.
Have you seen the film Big ? With Tom Hanks in. If so, remember the part where he attends his first meeting about the transformer and answer this.
During the meeting where the top dogs of the RFL said they would revolutionise the sport of Rugby league, didnt you put your hand up and say "I dont get it".
It might have solved all these problems from the past 5 years. |

Had I been in such a meeting I would certainly have had my say and probably found myself locked out the following day.
If only life were that simple. |
