we wont know our time scale now Pickles has called it in, its looking at least two seasons away from Wakefield at the least
It was always likely that Newmarket wouldn't be ready for the start of the 2012 season if the application hadn't been called in. The PI guidelines mean that it has to commence within 22 weeks of the decision being made to call the application in. It's not a major scheme that would need a ridiculously long PI (unlike a new international airport for example) so the PI should be completed with in weeks rather than months once its underway. The SoS then has something like 7 weeks to give his decision.
On this basis, the outcome should be known in late summer. While this isn't ideal from a franchising perspective, there's no reason to think that we shouldn't be moving into Newmarket at the start of the 2013 season.
In the meantime we share at a ground that already meets SL standards (presumably Oakwell) - the only difference from Plan A being that we're there for a full season rather than half a season.
It's clear that a good number of posters on this forum have lost a proper sense of perspective in what's happening. The various rumours of impending doom are ONLY on this forum - or do you really think that WTWRLFC has so much power over the press that it's surpressing all sorts of rumours??? Yes, we are clearly at risk of losing our franchise, but no amount of moaning about this, that or t'other will change that.
If you are really fans of this great club then take a & get behind the club FFS. If you don't want to do that then we'll be better off without you.

what right have you to tell anyone that the club would be better off without them, ithink youl find the club need to hang to all its got, stronger my backside, the clubs a shambles.

First I'm not a member of the BoD - just a fan & shareholder, albeit one who has worked with the club as part of a previous job.
As for my opinion about whether you want to get behind the club or not, it isn't about whether you go to the home or the away games. It's much simpler than that - if you don't want to support the club 100% then pi$$ off to Cas or Leeds instead.

Well unless you or someone you know has got a few million quid to spare you're going to have to put up with the current BoD & coaching staff for this season at least. I would be far more worried about the business credentials of someone buying the club before the franchising decision is known than I am about the current management (accepting that they do have their faults - but then again how many of us don't).

Buying the club may not cost the earth, but injecting the cash that's needed to transform it is another thing altogether. Like I said the current BoD have their faults, but there clearly isn't anyone with the combination of available funds & business sense to take things forward for the time being.
