Didn't want to derail the Ground update thread but mods feel free to merge if need be.

If you could sit down with anyone with any authority what one question would you ask regarding the 106 agreement, Newmarket, people's involvement etc what would it be?
I've plenty but I'd like to know.

When/if Yorkcourt suggested Trinity should step back from the purchase of BV as they were to purchase it themselves, why didn't they? Thus allowing 88M to do so, why did they do this?
Did they have an ulterior motive?
Were they so conniving as to manipulate the position they were in?

Not sure if that is classed as one question or not.

What question would you like to ask?

Price Buster is the best man to answer that question, he was making this point yonks ago.

Move to dewsbury immediately, perfect ground for a club

Of the hundreds of meetings with YC TRB alluded to over the last umpteen years I would love to ask for the minutes of just a handful of them to be released, especially those where "we are at a delicate stage". No criticism here, just out of interest, must be fascinating to read.

I have personally attended, I think 3 or 4 meetings with Colin in attendance. The majority of meetings were un-minuted and involved SRW alone. Now he has left the Trust and destroyed his records.

Destroyed his records?!

Looks like the Trust has been done up like a kipper by not only Box and Mackie - but the great and venerable Rodders has also played his part?

How can he "destroy the records"?! Surely the notes were taken in an official capacity on behalf of the Trust and are, therefore, Trust property.

Sounds shambolic at the best!

That sounds a very odd underhand way to work, what has he to hide?

As Sir Rodney attended many meetings alone how do we know whether he took notes.

The practice of any Trust Board Member attending meetings alone was stopped such that SRW could not attend meetings unless another Trust Board Member was also present.

I attended a meeting in the Town Hall with Yorkcourt, the Council, and 3 other Board Members when we were advised that Yorkcourt had a Contract to purchase Belle Vue. No official minutes of the meeting were taken but I made notes of the meeting and circulated them to all present.

Shambolic, you are right it was, but it stops now.

Playing devils advocate here, but could it be a simple case of 88M putting in a better offer to the BOI rather than something more sinister?

It was not as simple as that. All will be revealed shortly as soon as we have finalised exactly how the Trust is going to play it. I'm sure you can imagine the position we are in with the Chairman of the Trust just announcing his resignation without any warning and a new Chairman being elected. We have hell of a lot to sort.

I can imagine the position being a lot better than having a 5th columnist within your group.

I'm actually disappointed with RW, I always thought he had integrity, at this moment in time he's on nil poi in my eyes.

Agree with you there jinjer, I never trust anyone with wads of money and so called clout, apart from MC that is

I have often wondered where the term 'ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM' originated. It is probably down to an over sized person who likes to portray a larger than life presence and make a lot of noise. However at the end of the day produces nothing more than hot air and flatulence.
