Think you maybe mixed up re Pugney's when the Asda was originally built there was an opportunity for a new ground there as Asda wanted the ground as a site for the supermarket. It was reheated at the time by the council I believe. Then thee was the issue of Yorkshire leaving Heading let and a new ground in Wakefield just off Junction 39 Yorkshire decided to stay and develop the HQ at Headingley.
Following that we had the bluster if a stadium at Sharlston on the pit site. We had Queens Drive on of these opting resulting in McAlpines building the toilets and putting barriers in at BV.

Moving on it was Thorne Park and a possible at some point with Ossett Town rejected by Town. Then Newmarket.

So in 30 or 35 years nothing has changed it looks like a distant dream to me

Sums it up for me.

I just don't understand why the people involved in delivering the promise of a new stadium (other than those we know and admire for their tireless work) remain silent in this saga. Who are the faceless people seemingly reneging on a hard fought for scheme which had the potential to work to everyone's advantage?

I'm also really surprised that the W.E. haven't picked up on this by now and done what journalists are reputedly good at and done some 'digging' to see what's going on!

The press are our ally, but we want to use them when we feel we can gain maximum benefit from them.

I heard something else yesterday that heartened me in this quest and we are confident that we have a strong position to take forward.

Nothing involved in this is quick, but in terms of the overall progress, what we are seeing now is a frantic pace.

Meetings meetings meetings, but all with a purpose!

Keep up the good work it is appreciated despite the occasional moans!

TRB - what discussions are taking place ? Are they trying to get us the stadium at NM or are they simply trying to get a sized down community stadium down there for everyone ?

We've all had a good moan, but we can't / won't give up until justice is served!

One thing I'm not clear on.

The changes/errors that are allowing the development to progress without the stadium.........are we saying they just don't have to build the stadium at all if they get their way, or that they are trying to delay a long time so they can build all the other pieces first and earn money on it?

Anyone can put a new application on the land removed from GB - the B8 land - without it having to contribute to the stadium. The land with PP which remains in GB is different.
