I guess that is precisely the point of the Trust statement; he threw his hands up and blamed it on Eric Pickles and a crappy Tory deal - and used the Cas example to illustrate how it would have looked if he'd dealt with it - now that statement is on the record, he can't deny it, so one would hope he'll be forced to deliver.

The next step will be what, if anything, YC do; they've shown their colours in terms of enthusiastically reneging on their legal obligations - so I wouldn't be surprised to see more chicanery.

Meanwhile, what's happened to Rodders - there is a deafening silence from him and his 'new' Trust...?

Slightly off topic, but everyone keeps alluding to castleford having a perfect agreement.....

If anyone would like to point out our new stadium then please direct me.....

When the plans first got announced we were told we'd be in by 2018 season.

We're about 9 updates and 0 bricks on from that.

Mmmm....where have I seen that before

It was Cllr Box who described the Cas development as the "perfect deal". I think that you have got a pretty good deal from it, but have been hit very hard with companies not really wanting to take up the site, probably because the more ulcerative site in Case is a mere stones throw away from the proposed development

When are the council writing up the new 106?

The application closes in March, I'd guess it will need to be done before then. I'm not sure if we'd fall back on the original UU S106 I'd a new S106 cannot be agreed

If you care to look through the council video meetings on the web Cllr Box stated himself that Cas had the perfect agreement for their ground!

What if Belle Vue development was now offered on peppercorn, would we settle for that or hold out for Newmarket?

Up the Trin

Have both, it seems that contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on when it comes to stadiums in Wakefield

If they were 10 minutes long I would do.... I can't find a spare 4 hours to listen to pensioners talking politics with a small P

I have heard SC mention they want a similar perfect deal as castleford have... It'll be perfect if we ever move in.

Everyone is saying it's moving forward because e the highways are going to be built. But the highways were built at Newmarket a good few years ago.... And, you know the rest.

I care about my club as do you, but it's just statement after statement after statement, and the frustrating thing is all I wanna do is watch my team play rugby.

Hopefully though this is a step in the right direction for you guys. (I'm gonna copy that and just keep pasting it when relevant I think lol)

I don't think Dave was saying Box didn't say it, I think it's more to do with his cynicism regarding Cas's ground.

Wakefield express have tweeted new hope for Newmarket sorry can't share it

The council, as one could predict, seem very unenthusiastic,

Also another very cryptic tweet too in the last hour or so by Manni
