I don't see anyone pouring scorn - the vitriol seems, quite rightly, to be directed at YCP and WMDC.
My only (unanswered) question is how the (then) Trust fell for the obvious strategy cooked up by both parties to get Newcold on a separate application, which was subsequently waved through by WMDC; that's the point at which the whole plan fell apart from our perspective.
I can understand the dullard Elston not spotting it - but wasn't Rodney Walker in that meeting? Surely he's a shrewd enough operator to have seen straight through it - and yet there was no objection?

| I don't think I can recall any pouring scorn or showing any type of disregard to any of the members involved in the negotiations.
The whole aspect of any campaign must be to release certain information on a fairly regular basis and unfortunately that for what ever reason simply has not been the case.
That leads to frustration and eventually people loosing interest.
The time allocated by all the Trinity participants should be applauded and hopefully will be rewarded with a favourable outcome.
Good luck.

For most it's pure frustration only a few are being genuinely vindictive.
I don't think it needs to become a them and us not that I'm suggesting that's what you are doing

Some may argue that it should have all been done differently, and perhaps, in hindsight, we would do plenty differently ourselves, but we have done nothing other than try something that others just talk about and, for those that are interested - yes, we have invited others to join, but few are prepared to commit / can afford the time it takes.

I back all you say. I know it's hard but try not to confuse genuine concerns with plain moaning if you can.
Might add that IMHO the club and the fans probably owe you money probably a considerable amount - what you've spent on paper alone could fuel a small town.

| There may not be vitriol as such, just "oh yeah no news", yawn emojis, "yeah of course you can't tell us, that sort of smug attitude.I've had one or two pops aimed at me from people who should know better but I chose not to bite. As I've said before, ten years since I went to what would eventually become a SWAG meeting, maybe ten people, yes TEN people in attendance, out of that four got involved with SWAG, a fifth joined a few weeks later. It's a pity the keyboard warriors snidely having a pop at TRB weren't brave enough to step forward then.

From the correspondance published regarding the letter of Joanne Roaney it specifically states the CHAIRMAN OF THE TRUST was present and agreed to this damaging planning condition. The chairman at that time was Sir Rodney Walker !!!!!!!!!
Phil and the rest were lead up the garden path and it was agreed without their knowledge and they were not consulted. I am sure if Phil had known he would not have agreed.
Looks like poor old Phil has not only had to fight the council and developer but has also had to overcome problems within the trust itself.
Nevertheless, its now history as they say. But I would still like to know why such a massive favour was granted to the developer and nothing was gained in return.

| Just had my usual daily visit to the nutjob forum and although it can be highly controversial , facts can often be found amongst the 'other stuff'
They have a different take on the ground situation and are suggesting we have not realised where the real problem is.

I think most people appreciate everyone's efforts. It has not been a straightforward priblem we have faced.

Bigalf seems to be the one in the know, his finger points directly and firmly at Rodney Walker. I'm pretty sure I can remember Bigalf coming on here a fair while since mentioning the fact that the original plans had been circumvented.

| The silence both officially and unofficially from RMW is deafening. I was at the "Hearing" when RMW was giving evidence and amongst the self-promoting accolades he was pouring upon himself, he claimed that he was instrumental in the provision of the new National Stadium at Wembley. Perhaps a small community stadium in a West Yorkshire backwater didn't carry enough prestige for him.
