Did I not see a Tweet earlier suggesting that the Inspector found it rather amusing?



No need to be po-faced about the Inquiry; you could even argue that DC represents a massively important part of what WTW brings to the local community, as a spearhead of the work that the club does in schools across the district.

if it went well then i retract it!

not a risk i would have taken though.



i also take your point on board too.

I think it's fine that he turns up today during the latter stages of the final summing up.



The rest of the inquiry has been very very professional and a timely reminder from DC that this is as much about the kids and communities as it is about councils at war and greenbelt is OK by me.

I hope DC was taking notes!

I secretly hoped that he'd be doing somersaults at the back, handing sweets out to the audience and goading the objectors with some classic DC moves.

Could have turned up the other day with his water pistol and drenched that June Fender

Sounds like it is all done and dusted now

One of the tweets that made me smile today was the comment from the Yorkcourt barrister that Belle Vue was 'fit for purpose' ...... in 1900



Say what they want, but I still love the old girl

Overall I think things have gone well for us. The mysterious Mr Gubbage made another last minute attempt to throw a spanner in the works but that was about it. In fact the guy has probably been their best objector but he made the mistake of leaving his concerns too late in the day IMHO.



Soon be back to rugby and we can now put all this on the back burner and hope for PP granting in the spring.

I don't get the whole Twitter thing

What's with all the '@soandso' and half messages? It reads like a twelve-year-old's text message inbox!

Well its fingers crossed time and it sounds as though it has gone as well as could be expected. Lets hope sense prevails and it gets the green light and the stadium development proceeds as promised. Time will tell on both those hopes. Lets hopethe LDF review goes our way in january to help matters along.



Glad its done with now and we can concentrate on something else for a while. Like rugby!
