Does it surprise you that an inept central party would support an inept local council?

Most of that is about right but, it's not the investment (or lack of it) from WMDC that is the issue.
It's the lack of political will from WMDC to make the development happen and the granting of planning permission for Newcold, outside of the original site, hat is the issue.
Did he say whether anyone thought that WMDC may have hindered the development ?

They won't fight against wakefield council, they need to support councils and areas such as wakefield to try and restrengthen their position in the labour heartlands

This is why the club/trust should put the truth out in the public domain surely. There can't be a one sided propaganda story put out all the time....the fact we are being discussed in such a negative false way needs addressing ....

Think that has been the problem all along.

The people we really need to help spread the message are members from the opposition parties; the people who represent and stand for Tory, UKIP, Lib Dem and others. They will be able to use this as a way to expose how poor the labour council have been for the city and the region. It will give them something to hold over Box and Labour and they can help to try and hold them to account

To a certain extent yes but in the past no-one has really discussed the matter in a open way like Redcats described . Where was the meeting ? who was actually present and speaking about us?........

WMDC still have it in their gift to make this right.

It's up to them, but they know the situation as we see it!

Why do i get the feeling you'll be waiting a while for Box to back down.

What are the reasons for refusing Featherstone's offer? Having visited both Dewsbury and Fev.'s grounds last year with Leigh last season I would say Post Office Road was a no brainer!!

What's a no-brainer is having a strong opinion on a subject you know nothing about; this is a deep, complex and circuitous saga, of which you know only the briefest of headlines. In those circumstances, it's best to keep schtum, rather than be perceived as an ultracrepidarian.

Cheadel leyther makes a good point and does not deserve abuse for making it

Only asking-Wigan have borrowed our ground several times so why the hostility?

A simple answer would be: a move to Fev would weaken the position of the club/trust when dealing with the local authority as they're both in the same authority, Dewsbury comes up Kirklees so would strengthen the position that the councils inaction has forced the club to leave the district. That's far from the right answer as in reality it's a very complex situation spamming three decades, but it's a very simplistic one
