Isn't part of the plan a petrol station operated by the supermarket? Theres only the 'big four' that operate them isn't there? Unless they can get a seperate company (shell, jet etc) interested.

They don't necessarily have to be on the same site!

Shell, BP, Conoco, sell fuel to each other, just because you fill up say at a Shell garage does not mean you've got their product in your tank, Lindsey Oil Co. at Immingham also supply fuel to those 3 companies'.

Fair point!

That's an utter disgrace!

The bloke needs a serious reality check

So why are we letting get away with such an indifferent attichude? The developers have taken the proverbial out the council and our local MPs as well as ourselves. So close to an election I hope we don't miss the chance to make this into a political issue.

Who's getting away with anything? Don't assume we ain't already active just because its not public at this time.

Does Mr Box have a twitter page we can bombard him on? He obviously has put his priorities exactly where he wants them

Why don't you stand as an independent so you can see how much support you will receive. I think we are getting a little carried away we are one of 5 clubs in the WF postcode. We are not that important to the majority of people in the Wakefield area, if we were our crowds would be much higher.
I believe people will vote on how they feel about their lives not the fact that we have been unsuccessful to get a ground built. I have not read much support from the Conservative council members or any of those standing in the election, so as I say there is a gap in the field for you to stand on a ground for Trinity ticket.

Apologies. I thought you were on about when the site was an option for Wakefield's ground. At that time it was a desolate ex sand quarry miles from civilisation on a road generally used by Wakefield folk once per year to go see the worlds biggest meat pie.

I knew that, no need for apologies though the sentiment is appreciated.
I was trying to be humorous and failing.

Still, without a doubt, in my mind at least, that stretch of Denby Dale Rd would be an ideal and superb location not matched by any other SL club

I could be ignorant or not fully understanding of the situations regarding Cas's and our application for a new ground.
I'm as frustrated as the next person but wasn't our ground going to be surrounded by industrial units, whilst Cas's will be an extension of the Junction 32 complex?
I know which I would approve.

I'd love to offer you an alternative argument, but the harsh reality of it is I fear you are right.

I won't stand because it wont make a difference, of course you knew that you just wanted to misrepresent my point of view. I was making the point that raising it as a political issue would have most effect sooner rather than later due to the election.

Local political issues very rarely come into play at local election times. I stood many times in my younger days and was beaten by a proverbial donkey most times.
