As a mere distant but interested observer the 'it's nothing to do with us squire' stance of the WMDC does my head in. I don't know how those directly involved keep their sanity (what's that? they don't? Oh OK.)
As Jackie Brown suggested, I think we need to up the ante somehow. I'm sure someone from WMDC keeps tabs on this very forum (and other fans' outlets).
What I'd suggest is that if we are even considering the possibility of a judicial review we should be raising the funds now, so that if/when the time comes we're ready to go. I'm sure WMDC's current plan is just to do nothing in the hope that we'll eventually just go away. If we have the funds in an ESCROW? account or something, we can call their bluff and say to the LPA 'we're ready to take this further, are you?' It will also give some focus for the common fans and increase publicity for the issue. We may even get wider support if the council suggest they want to fight the case using council taxpayers' money.
Should action not be required, or the case is won and we're awarded costs, the funds could be returned.

Don't want to be awkward or funny with you, but please don't mess with what you don't know or understand!

We are not sitting idly by and letting the water run under our feet - although that may have already happened when NewCold was approved. We are working hard here to deliver a Community Stadium. We represent something larger than just a bunch of Wildcats fans, albeit they are major beneficiaries of it.

I also note, that whatever we all think we know and understand that the various parties have done in this process, it is the delivery of the Community Stadium we want at the end of all this. It might be seen as fun for some to try and give the council a bloody nose, but I'm not interested in that unless by doing so it puts us in a better place to get what we came for!

I don't think we'll have either a yes or no answer anytime very soon, but some things a are becoming clearer every week that goes by.

Rest assured, every idea that is out on here is either in play, or will be / has been considered. Your collective thoughts and frustrations are ours too, and we are grateful for the thoughts and input of many of you on here.

Confused? You will be after this episode of........

Go on then cosmicat, educate me, what new ideas do you have? Which one were you at the SWAG, Trust meetings? It seems that you're frustrated and want to input your help, then fill your boots my friend.

The frustration of the whole episode just rolls on and on the one thing that drives everybody crazy is the lack of updates I can't remember the last update we have had,some information would great

Don't you think everyone involved is frustrated, I'm frustrated to funk but I've been involved in this and done a thousandth of what TRB, IA and Sandal cat have done, how do you think they feel with all this?

Everybody is frustrated about the lack of progress. God knows I must be up there in the top 50 myself but hard though it is to prevent myself venting my feelings, I would not for one minute want to jeopardise all the endless work put in by everyone who is directly involved in trying to move the mountain and get the stadium.
In the meantime I am perfectly happy to go to our spiritual home next season, I have many happy memories there and I for one (though I know it's unlikely) wish we could stay there.
Put the stadium to the back of your minds and look forward to summer rugby in February!

No what you're after is not updates what you seem to want is someone to manufacture you some good news regardless of whether it's true or not.

There have been plenty of updates but most are not positive - tough - that's how it is. Truth is we can't afford to build our own stadium and thus want someone else to do it - that was never going to be easy and still isn't.

The bargaining chips we have on our side are limited thus we have to tread very carefully which in the real world usually means very slowly.

So sad though it is that you can't contain your frustration or your sense of entitlement I'm happy to let those involved get on with us and let us know what we need to know when we need to know it.

I think if you read IAs reply post it tells you everything you need to know. And while I think the reply from the council will tell the trust little. They will know where they stand, and will be able to move forward from that....

I agree with that coco.. 50Gs is a lot of money to find if the trust decides to go down that route.... And that's if we come out the other side on top! Double it if we loose

As a Cas fan and believe it or not a wildcats fan (except for 2 or more games a year) I think the stadium issues are ridiculous and a awful lot of debate and even falling out between supporters has taken place.
I still read the posts and see the same conversations.
For what it is worth the people who have worked from the start with great resolve are still their and deserve credit and all the others who ok are frustrated seem only to be council bashers which really does not help.
It would be helpful if those who are attending meetings were left to focus on the job in hand and report back every now and then.

Just saying, but good look for the future.

I've not really paid much attention to the new stadium proposal but having just read all of the responses to this thread I'd love to know if there is any way us simple fans can help out? Do you need help with fundraising or support for publicity?

My hunch and that's all it is, is that there'll be some sort of call to arms in the next twelve months, you'll then notice all the doom mongers blend into the shadows.
