This seems to be going back to fundamentals.
Who was responsible for ensuring the s106 was fit for purpose?
Who accepted the unilateral undertaking?
This may be where the council messed up. With the SoS being involved they seemed to feel they were relieved of their duties. Maybe they sleepwalked into this deal and honestly felt it was nothing to do with them.
It seems like the legal case may be based on the LPA's failure to ensure community benefit from the planning gain.

Let's also not forget what they have done re the Cas s106 and the benefit to a private entity that deal offers whilst at the same time saying the Newmarket s106 was nothing to do with them until recently when national media exposure forced them to make it look like they were trying to do something.

There is also the "missing" legal advice around allowing newcold not to count towards the trigger point

Usually in these cases........
It's hardly a daily occurance is it!

Just try to be positive and support the club
Negativity will get us no where

Forgive me for getting the impression that whatever the club does you always seem to want to have a little dig and search for a little bit of fault. I may be totally wrong and will give you the benefit of the doubt. Therefore....

Can you tell me what possible reason the the council could give in order to justify all the Newcold development not being part of the trigger area.
Bearing in mind they have admitted in writing to Mary Creagh that this agreement was reached between, Roney,Wallhead and WALKER. IN a closed room with no minutes and have also failed to give any reasons for their actions.

Do you also accept it is extremely reasonable to suspect that if a further development is planned then the council will adapt the same policy. Their past actions alone would suggest they have clearly demonstrated they have no intention for a stadium to be built on Newmarket.

Regarding the rent I am led to believe that the club have asked for specific details. The architects of the Belle Vue scheme have failed to answer and I am sure they have not concocted a figure themselves. How can you deal in such a shoddy way with a financial situation such as that. If all you get in varying ball park figures how can the club be nailed down to the specific details.

I hope this helps.

Maybe you could provide professional oversight to the barrister, just to make sure he's got all his ducks in a row beforehand? Alternatively, and this is from someone who readily acknowledges to being a victim of above average syndrome, you could stop pretending to be an expert on everything?

I think everyone is aware that they (York C, council etc.) had no intention of ever reaching the "trigger point" while ever a club by the name of Wakefield Trinity are in existence in the top flight. hence I presume, little need to mention that particular red herring.

Got told today that the land at Newmarket is worth 80 million to York court so greedy is a under statement

Don't need to pretend.



No in all seriousness you’re right, i'll step back from the forum, i realise having views that might not necessarily 100% fit with with the status quo and is scorned upon and a united front needs to be seen right now. Lets hope the club come through the other side with potentialy the biggest and most important win of its history. Good luck to all involved. Go get 'em!

Just one question, anyone know of the boxing day game is still at Belle Vue?

Quote drdnght="drdnght"Looking at the Wakefield Express article they have published the whole statement minus 1 sentence... Which sentence.. "We are aware that the Tigers will own the freehold of their stadium at a transfer cost of £1." www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/ ... -1-8844761 #ExpressCasFans'" To me that confirms that the WE are pushing the narrative of Box and co. I mean why would you leave that line out?

You would have to expect when the land went into brown belt the value would increased significantly not to mention the value increase for land banking since 2011.

Whether you post here or not is a matter of supreme indifference to me; my issue is that you appear to have cast yourself as a renaissance polymath with expertise that goes way beyond opinion - and that's just annoying enough for me to feel a need to point it out.
