| I suppose you, TRB and SC do it for the love of the club - although it must be the first thing you think of when you wake up!
So, I can understand why you do it but why does IA do it - is he not a Rhino?

As you say he is a nice guy who believes in what we are doing and he is a local living in Stanley.
This has taken over my life almost and like TRB's wife, Mrs Sandal Cat cannot wait until it all end but as TRB has said of me,. I will die in a ditch before I will let this go.

Brilliant attitude Sandal, you and TRB are an absolute credit to the club and the sport and that's not ing up your back, it's just how it is.
Keep on fighting and dont let the b'stards grind you down

We need to brace ourselves that we too could be on a very long road back from here, albeit we have a strong club with great leadership - at the moment (and hopefully for a long time to come, but I could understand any move Chris and Michael make).
My Mrs was getting angered by all this on Monday after I had a conversation with Armadillo over the phone in the car. She wasbemoaning the years and years spent chasing this and the time lost whilst the family grew up. But in the end, when it come to the question of 'why me', the only answer I can give is that someone has to do it as if we don't, who will, and now we are crammed with all this knowledge and history of the subject, we are committed to see it through one way or another!
The phrase SC likes to use is that we will 'die in a ditch' before we will give in to the injustice that is happening right in front of our faces, and that just about sums it up for me!'"
Life is ultimately futile and pointless, at least all this gives you some purpose before you pop off

I thought it was resistance that was futile?

Has she come around yet?
You were lucky in that your wife (a very pleasant lady I might add) is a fan. I know it's a strain even then so if it helps hats off to Mrs TRB she's also made a huge sacrifice - really hope it pays off.
We should be demanding that Walker is stripped of his un-earned knighthood and it be shared amongst you lot still fighting.
Keep at it Sir Phil and Lady Phil

| HEPWORTH Costings vis a vis a Community Stadium: from what I've gleaned from radio 4 plus quick google. Pls be suspicious of my maths, as I graduated from the D Abbott school of finance
A propos WMDC funding a community stadium.
Cost of Hepworth £36 million plus £6 million grant for 5 yrs.
Money made in first 5 yrs £20 million
Visitors 1.5 million
Apprx. Annual Equivalent for £10million investment in stadium: 75,000 punters spending £800k
Assume 15 home games, need 5k average spectators per game, spending £10-£15 each ( not sure if this is including admission).
From above, would seem to be equivalent viability on financial grounds, tho' kudos of beating Tate modern ( no, it's not a Southern Union team) would be lacking, though Radio 4 do mention CC & grand final-albeit briefly.

| I won't knock the Hepworth. Its a great place, brings a lot to the City. I visit it quite often, probably once a month for a coffee and a wander around. You never see huge crowds, if you did it wouldn't matter as its free entry. I would say the members of staff on duty when I visit always outnumber the visitors.
For the life of me I can't see how the place with all its overheads makes a penny.

| Okay, so if we assume that Mackie has got the Newmarket site nicely tied down and is clearly never going to build us a stadium, then what alternatives do we have ?
Combining several suggestions that have already been put forward, what about asking the council to give us some land down off the new relief road (Neil Fox Way ), then have a word with either Mr Caddick at Leeds, as I am sure he would be more than capable of building us a stadium, looking at that huge TK Maxx development that he has just erected alongside the A1 and M62 at Ferrybridge, or the company that are set to build Cas' new stadium, or the likes of Keepmoat who built Donny's stadium ???
There are plenty of developers out there who I am sure could be tempted to build us a stadium, if the terms are sweet enough for them, but I admit that Box would be the one that would have to provide the sweeteners !!
MC...can't you take Caddick out for a few beers and whisper sweet nothings in his ear ??
