Yes, I think updates by the club are a good idea on the ground, just to give fans an idea.

The updates could also include things like how ticket sales are going, and updates on player injury news etc.

It doesn't have to be a War And Peace statement on the internet, but it would give fans an insight, which may also reduce some of the number on posts on here, who think they know the ins and outs, but in reality, don't

There's nothing to report.

I'll copy and paste that weekly if it helps?

Daily please

Is it beyond the realms of possibility that YC always intended to submit a separate planning application for Newcold, once they'd used the support of the WT fans to get the inquiry decision to go the way they wanted it to? I still feel embarrassed that I attended that event, and even arranged for a speaker to highlight the benefits of community sports facilities to the prospects of children.

These people aren't stupid, and developers are always playing the long game; it wouldn't surprise me at all if that was their intention from the outset, with a quiet word from Box assuring them that he'd see the separate application smoothly through the planning process.

Very much this. There is a big smell coming out of Wood Street and I hope Box eventually gets his comeupppance. Sadly it won't help the club with the current situation.

Best username ever. Well played.

I do think we can expect some morality though. Yorkcourt mobilised the support of the people of Wakefield to get a development on green belt land, intending always to shaft them once achieved. That is the very worst side of business and the council have let them get away with it. For a Labour council to side with the very worst aspects of Thatcherism, that the pursuit of wealth trumps everything, is surprising, particularly when you consider how Thatcherism ripped the guts out of Wakefield.

It's not only Wakefield trinity that's lost out what about all the other sporting facilities that were promised for the young people of Wakefield shouldn't the council be fighting for them there's nothing for the young people in the Wakefield area it's a disgrace.

Have York court ever said yes were going to revamp bv

In the current economic climate, there are more cutback than an Edward Scissorhands movie but, the Newmarket scandal seems more about lack of desire from the council to ensure that the developer proceeds with the plans that were passed.
Having secured an industrial development (including the community facility), it should have been all systems go and tenants found for the units that were planned (including Newcold) and had there been the will to make it happen by Yorkcourt and the Council, there seems little doubt that by now, there would be some units on that site.
Instead, we have the developer trying to wriggle their way out of their part of the bargain and the council standing by and letting it happen.

Perhaps (and call me a cynic), we have to wait until the "community stadium ) at Glasshoughton is built and then we will be told to play over there.
After all, they are trying to call the Glasshoughton project a community stadium when it will be owned by Castleford ??

Imagine if the council told us to play in a club owned "community stadium" that is not in Wakefield but is owned by the club the council leader supports and has shares in. Whilst the council make money on a development that was only passed due to a genuine community stadium been built, you couldn't make it up.

I think that I should start using T Bags

That was Box`s plan from day 1.

It amazes me that Sir Rodney has been impotent / lacking in 'clout' etc throughout this 'sorry saga '. Is it not possible to get the press interested ?
