| Quote: Theboyem "Most people i've spoken to who aren't regular wakey fans couldn't care less about the stadium fiasco one way or another. In fact most couldn't give a damn about the election period. Quite sad really.
Myself i would never vote for any particular party based on a single issue, whatever it was. The stadium being just one element. It all goes into the pot and the best of a bad bunch chosen from that. And then watch as nothing changes whoever it is that gets in.'"
I would generally agree with you on this.
However IF (and it's a massive if), one of the political parties were able to guarantee a new stadium (or massively improved BV), I would definitely vote for them.
Any other wrongs that they were responsible for could be rectified after the next election, but, the stadium would be worth any other pain.
Having said that, I don't think any of the current options are in any position to guarantee the stadium.
Although the current rulers of the district appear to have done all that they can for the stadium not to be built  |

I guess the problem we have is how local elections work. Labour will still be in control come the the 8th may and Box will still be leader, no matter how we vote. There just isn't enough councillors up for election to oust them and most people will still vote for them anyway. Personally i think the only chance we have is if a Labour government with a healthy front bench presence of local MP's can exert enough pressure on the council to move things forward. I just can't see the tories going against business in a case like this, it just isn't their way despite the rhetoric they are no doubt coming out with. The old saying 'How do you know when a conservative is lying? Their lips are moving' still rings true to this day. It's only my personal opinion and others may think de=ifferently but i think the only way the stadium will ever get built is by the council pressurising Yorkcourt in to doing so by refusing any further development on that land that doesn't comply to the original planning decision. To get this co-operation from our great leaders they will need leaning on from above from Creagh, Balls & Trickett who will likely have a good amount of government influence.

Agree with all that, it's just a case of whether the bigger players in Westminster can or will put pressure on Mr Box & Co to play ball.
Yorkcourt must be sitting back laughing at just how they have managed to get so much for so little and at just how easily they have managed to get away with things so easily.

All politicians lie, it's what they do. This saga proves labour lie just as good as the Tories

| Quote: asmadasa "The alternative is to get organised and form some sort of pressure group with a strategy to target those key organisations responsible for this mess to try and resolve it to get a stadium for the future of the club.
Labour/Conservative/Liberal/UKIP they are all as bad as each other. A visit to the ballot box in a 'first past the post' electoral system to vote Con by several hundred disgruntled Trinity supporters will have no impact on the stadium issue in my opinion.'"
We have SWAG, the Supporters Trust and a Stadium Trust - I think that's enough organisations involved!
I can confirm that the Tories and UKIP have been extremely positive and helpful in their approach to this matter. The LibDems we have not heard back from and Labour are offering platitudes. These comments relate to the Stadium only, but people must decide what they want out of this election. I want someone who is going to do the best for this community, my community and the City of Wakefield, and that is how I will vote! |

Same here TRB,been a pit man (and still am)until this year some time that is thanks to Tory AND Labour's support I have been Labour all my working life but I'm afraid having met Cooper and listening to her patronising voice ,who ever could deliver a community stadium for this great City may get my vote.They are all as thick as thieves so it's a tough decision  |

Based on the positive sounds coming from the local conservatives, for the first time ever I'm gonna vote for them locally (although 100% not in the nationals)
Probably just another set of politicians full of mickey and wind but they may surprise us yet.

The sad thing is at local level people still vote for the party rather than the person. You only have to look at Ossett last year the UKIP guy that got in didn't even run a campaign and got in.
