| I think you've missed my point
The reason I asked the question was because I was aware that the ground is still for sale and Sanderson weatherall are still accepting offers, this was brought to my attention by someone telling me they enquirered this week, which to me indicates that this isn't a done deal and I've not read anything on here that makes me think otherwise, there may well be an offer accepted and contracts looking to be exchanges, but that's still not 100% (ok ok maybe 99.9% but not 100%) I asked a sensible question and apart from the "in the know" getting the name of the main player wrong, there is not yet 100% certainty that this is a done deal. I did say I didn't want an argument, I have stated facts, all other views are speculative, I'm not sure why I should be on the end of your angst, but it's Friday and a long weekend so I'll say no more on this until the contracts are exchanged between the interested parties

Enjoy the weekend mate, I've read this thread through and as usual you seem to be "the voice of reason"

Whilst remote possibilities exist, the fact remains that contracts HAVE been exchanged. Don't tell the new owner he doesn't own it! If someone 'steals' it from him now, he will most likely sue!

Who's professing to be "in the know" and I'm not the one being pedantic about whether it's 100% or 99.9% and m88 or 88m
Wind your neck in

| Quote: Dreadnaught "The issue with taking the council to court is 1.) its expensive and I doubt WTWRLFC have the funds to do it, and 2.) if we do do it, the cost of fighting the case will also be expensive for WMDC and will need to divert funds from elsewhere to fund the fight, once the other 98% of the WMDC population who don't give a flying rats backside about Wakefield Trinity see that their services are being cut to fund a fight over a stadia for a sports team, any public sympathy is likely to disappear petty quickly.'"
How much did the hearing re the Secretary of State 5 years ago cost the Wakefield council tax payers, I wonder.

| Would it not be beyond the realms of possibility for MC to put OFFICIAL weekly update bulletins ( for those who wish to know sooner rather than later) re the ground situation discussions on the WTW web site?

| What I don't understand is how there could have been any discussions around revamping belle vue as an alternative to delivering the community stadium at Newmarket, especially as a revamped belle vue would be nowhere near the spec of what was supposed to be provided at Newmarket.
Surely the council trust and York court can't decide to agree to a dumbed down alternative and circumvent the sos ruling?

I can assure you that the Stadium Trust are not looking to circumvent the Secretary of States ruling, infact the very opposite.

But how could a revamped belle vue be an option and comply with the sos ruling and negate the stadium build requirement at Newmarket?

I'm not a Lawyer but if Belle Vue was to be redeveloped there would still be facilities provided at Newmarket in accordance with the planning consent but not the stadium.
All options are still under consideration.

You do realise we've been doing this for years and scrutinised every option mentioned on here and every possible outcome, always with the intention of trying to drive out the best deal for the citizens of Wakefield? I know we can't please everyone all the time... But to read some of the comments (not yours in particular btw), you'd think we've been having a tea party!
The Trust was formed originally with Ted, then it was Andrew and James, then just Rodney, David H and Eric (as he had knowledge of the early history). We then managed to get Jonanthan and myself on, but this was after NewCold had been passed, then we managed to get Michael and Chris on and, just last week, finally voted Ian on formally. Most of us have been trying to repair a situation that had already happened so our hand is weak, but we continue to try. There will be an update when it's real and appropriate, which we hope will be soon.
We are not interested in BV and a lick of paint, we are interested in a genuine Community Stadium resolution, but I personally don't care if it's at BV, NM or another site, as long it serves the City of Wakefield!

I wasn't having a go at the trust just curious as to how the bv option would discharge york courts obligations when it would always be a sub standard option compared to a new build,at Newmarket
