Yet didn’t she refer to trinity as “our beloved rugby league team” or words to that effect in one of her earlier press releases?

It depends whether she is commenting on a local issue and to the people within her ward.
However if she is commenting on District issues, she should, first of all, remove her black and amber (sorry orange) hat.

And people call the casforum, the Nutjob forum!?!

I get that folk are well & truly cheesed off at the moment, quite rightly in a lot of respects, but some of the sentiment flying around at the minute is very 'witch trials' & Donald trump esque.
I'm confident that you'll find anyone who knows anything of Box, knows he needs taking down a peg or ten so you need to be mobilising support across the district and alienating whole swathes of the general public with the 'Cas are getting everything' & the city should be developed first above everywhere else is not helping that.

You mean a Trinity forum on RLFans is managing that. Wow, we are more powerful than we thought!

It's amazing what the 20/30 regular posters on here can achieve, alienating over 300k people.



I also haven't read anywhere that the City should be developed first above everywhere else anywhere.

I came in peace, as always, but thanks for underlining the point I was trying to make gents.

Your a decent guy, I will admit that but this is a very sensitive issue and a Cas fan coming on here being
patronising (albeit non intentionally) is not going to go down great is it?

I echo Wild things point.

No one was talking about Ground Share but a number of Cas fans raise the subject as if we are being stupid for not considering it, even though there is no Cas stadium, and equally no one with the authority to offer such a deal has offered anything to Wakefield......... don't then be upset when Wakefield fans find it an emotive subject and tell you their strong view on their own forum.
I have no sympathy on this one.

Guess who looks likely to be out of a job soon too through making the decisions she has! And I wouldn't be surprised if Maidenhead changed in the next election too.

We're getting stuffed by a Council lead by a Cas fan. I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve posting such a patronising comment.

They are two different developments with two different developers so it's hard to compare and contrast other than taking them at face value. The only similarity is that both developments required sporting clubs with good support to get them through.

There were definite learnings from the Newmarket situation, which of course will provide no solace to you guys on here. It could quite easily be us. However, the one benefit to us is that we own WR - therein lies your problem. The plan B is reliant on another developer, who also happens to be the owner of Belle Vue, and who has had zero to do with the Newmarket situation. By that nature, he has no obligation to give you the same deal (and from reading the comments, I do feel that it's slightly unfair he's being lumped in to this mess when he's tried to provide a resolution, no matter how much of a problem it may be for you guys).

The one question that needs answering is why Newcold didn't contribute to the 60,000 sq.m. There could be a fair reason for that but it's been poorly communicated (or rather not communicated) to fans and to the club/trust, and to the wider public. But the reality is that nothing else has happened on that site since Newcold. Again, that's not a question that I feel is fair levelled at the council but the developer.

For all the other ills, Yorkcourt are the ones that applied outside of it, the ones that sorted Newcold and ultimately responsible for Newmarket development. Ultimately, I think there have been things that have contributed along the way from all the parties to where we are now, but as an outsider I don't see it all on WMDC's fault, and I'm sure you guys don't either. But it does feel like you're solely hitting out at one party on here at the moment.

I genuienly wasn't trying to be patronising & I get that the tone of a comment can be lost in the written word quite easily.

I've held off posting since the news broke as I know it's a very emotive subject & people's nerves are shred, but I was attempting to calm a few "Nutjobs"

down before damage is done.

Certain fans are going to have to change their mindset though. This is not a trinity v WMDC fight, it's a district v developer/WMDC fight & the best chance of success is a united district, or at least as much of it as possible.

I chose this particular thread to post as I still believe that a ground share is possible & is actually the best & most likely to succeed for both clubs, but the jewel in the crown has to be the wider sporting facilities. I'm not talking about Glasshoughton or Newmarket either, I'm talking about Normanton & more specifically the newer part of the development (up around the new police building).
That area is a fairly central point for the district, has excellent links & has the land to deliver a truly amazing site; a centre of excellence if you will, for sport in the district. It could & would put the district in the map for sporting facilities.
All it needs is the egos to be left at the door & for the people involved to see it.
