Whilst I still take great issue with a number of issues to do with WMDC, the columns need some balancing:

1 They have upheld the newly imposed clause which states that any housing on BV can only go ahead when the club is in NM playing.
2 Subject to enough people signing the e-petition we are confident that they will grant us ACV status on BV
3 We would not have planning at all at NM without them a) passing the plans themselves and b) funding the PI
4 They provided finance to allow the detailed plans for NM to be drawn up.

Now I'm not saying that they should be given a halo, but they are also not the devil incarnate.

Fair do's TRB - I'll trust your right on that one.
I still don't think WTW fans should feel threatened though on such a trivial thing as owning a few shares.

you might feel differently if the boot was on the other foot

I do not trust one person on the council

Watching LUFC at Rotherham on Friday night and their new New York stadium would suit us down to the ground.

A stadium like that built in Wakefield should I add.

Isn't it the design originally intended for Salfords ne stadium.

Agree it would be a superb asset to the City and our club but

.........but it cost £20m so it's a touch out of our league unless I win the Euromillions tomorrow.

It seems clear there isn't going to be a City of Wakefield Community Stadium; WMDC have totally distanced themselves from any involvement, and the silence from our elected representatives is deafening - they were too busy pouring water on each other at the Cas ground to respond to any messages. Meanwhile, the formidable Sir Rodney is uncharacteristically quiet and the Trust are pushing a petition to stop BV from being sold out from under the club.

I'd suggest that what's happening right now are increasingly desperate attempts to get some money - *any money* - out of YC to tart up BV, and that's where we'll stay; another false start to add to the ever-growing list.
