Agree with that Steady and it's just a pity our own local paper keep referring to it as Trinity's stadium, it's almost mischief making because they know full well it's meant to be much more than that, plus also don't report the charade that's gone on and inform the people that are clueless.. Also just on past experience, I hope that the Councilors involved think the same way you do and not out for their own individual ward.

Is it too late in the day to get written support from local sports teams? This would demonstrate to the Council its not just about Trin

Exactly shifty! Allowing Yorkcourt/WMDC/Rodders/Press to control the public narrative, without significant challenge, has done massive damage to any challenge in my opinion.

Not in my opinion mate. I can’t think think there’s many clubs who have an over abundance of facilities in the district that would be daft enough to cut their nose off to spite their face.

Steady,



Look I understand your point but the fact is there is a divide in the council and the recent no vote of confidence in Box proves that. I have very recently spoken to one Labour councillor who voted against him. He basically summed up the situation in a single sentence and I will quote you what was said, "Many of us are sick of him and want a change, but it is his F***ing Cas mafia that is keeping him in power.

Anyone on here associated with local teams who can help out?

Surely all the more reason to highlight to all constituents that they are having their pocket picked then. With the precarious position Box finds himself in, timing seems to good to be true not to go & attack on this front.

Steady I will add a bit more. Unfortunately many of our councillors are not in it for the public good, they are in it for their own interest. Box knows who they are and he knows how to buy their loyalty.





Your faith in human nature and decency is admirable and I really hope that people make the correct call and do 'the right thing'

However from the years of being close to all this I do not share your optimism. In fact if people were honest and forthright and did the right thing, we would not even be having this discussion the stadium would have been built. The fact that this council has allowed this situation to fester and deteriorate to this situation suggests to me morals and decency are sadly missing.





And your final point , the public will not wake up and see the injustice ,they don't care. The council are LABOUR they have always backed them because they labour and they always will, no matter what they do. Sad but true.

PM sent Buster - I take your point mate & I’m sure it’s beyond frustrating.

I keep saying this, and I have already tried it to no avail, But why don't influential people (the Trust), who have more clout than an old b****r like myself bring it to the attention of the "Rotten Boroughs" section of Private Eye magazine? WMDC have already been named and shamed this year in an article (not stadium related), but it would be the perfect arena to bring the whole sorry mess into the wider public domain.=#FF0000 Box does not like being publicly shamed!!!

I'm the chairman of one of the cities community and I have on many occasions written WMDC, all my local councillors, my local parish councillors and local MP, only my MP has shown any interest in helping, and most of the Wakefield public hate her for her stance on Brexit.

I've also made it clear on here and on other public forums And directly with MC himself that's I am willing to put £1000 in to the legal fighting fund, so yes there are people associated with local sports clubs willing to help out

Sorry to sound thick but the letter mentions 60,000m3, it does not say this has to be the footprint. If a building is multi story does the area of each floor add to this?
