If he hasn't done this then it's what I would expect. If its his personal team supporting coming into it maybe he should question his own role and position.

It is not true, in fact it is absolute rubbish. As a council employee for over 30 years i know the workings of such meetings. Peter Box wants all clubs in the area to survive. How come we have had considerable help both financially and logistically. WMDC gave us mindful to approve.

I know we are all on edge on what will probaly happen come the 26th, but to start rumours like this is ludicrous.

By allaccounts he wasnt scheduled to be at the meeting but turned up anyway and insisted on dealing with both clubs at the same time, ahem, all in the interests of saving precious time for the WMDC employees.

Youngcat, Its true!

Hopefully Savilles will have smelled a rat

I will ask, but i do not believe it for an instance. He his a stickler for protocol etc and there is no way he would jeopardise his integrity. Believe me he wants all 3 professional clubs in the area to prosper.

Get back to slagging us off on VT fully you big eared boy stop boring us

Diddums.

Everything I'm hearing regarding NM is positive and to be honest with Newmarket community stadium and AGs running of the club I think we have a bright future.

You really believe this guff?

They should have told him to off back to where he came from then, saying that only a idiot wouldn't be able to tell what game he's up to. Pretty embarrassing stuff really, for the head of a local council, if true.

I know it to be true but you seem to think you know better.

You say he turned up and sat in on the meeting in order to deal with both clubs at the same time whilst Sesquipedalian claimed he was blatantly pro Cas and anti Wakey.

Are you saying what Sesquipedalian claims is true or just that you know he turned up and insisted on dealing with clubs at the same time?

I know he turned up to the meeting, for which he had no invite and wasn't scheduled, he took responsibility for answering questions regarding planning matters, for both NM & WR, which have always been dealt with by Andrew Thompson the WMDCs Chief planning Officer.

He wasn't disparaging toward Wakefield but did avoid painting the full picture regarding timescales and likelihoods of planning approvals because WR is likely to hold up Castlefords stadium build significantly beyond that of Newmarket.

If that is proven fact, then he should be held to account. At best, it was a clumsy and misguided attempt to fool Savilles into keeping both teams in, which is most likely to do more harm than good; at worst, it smacks of corruption in public life and warrants further investigation.

Someone needs to forward this info to the RL presses and Wakefield Express.

Lets not forget how quick the documents regarding BV's sale status were forwarded by those over east.

With his connections to CT Boxy should be nowhere near any discussions that have ANYTHING to do with them/ their business dealings. For me that just smacks of a complete conflict of interests. Typical of that political nobody though.
