They can't enforce anything until the trigger point has been met. Apparently it's Trinity that wanted the same deal as Cas but it's too late now etc etc. Box is picking and choosing what he says wisely.

Aye, Box throwing Cas’s 106 agreement about saying this what Labour does compared to Pickles half d attempts. He was rather angry lol

Conveniently fails to recognize the fact that Yorkcourt have been allowed to circumvent the trigger point altogether, also fails to recognize it was himself that said in public that he wanted 'the perfect deal for Wakefield, similar to Castleford's'. He was getting rather venomous towards the Councillor asking the questions, would love to see him head to head with MC.

Who was the Councillor asking questions?

Councillor Ahmed, who was getting involved on Twitter etc on Wakeys side of the debate earlier. Council say they will defend themselves vigorously as they believe they have acted correctly.

If I was watering the garden and caught sight of Cllr Box on fire I would continue to water the garden.



Up the Trin

Let’s hope his ‘ venomous ‘ response is based on deep down guilt feelings.

Then again some are incapable of that, so maybe it’s fear of being ‘rumbled’.

Still remains a mystery to me why the council are so hostile, antagonistic towards Trinity rather than genuinely trying to help in making the city’s only professional sports team a success , which would obviously be advantageous in further promoting the city.

If the stadium, were to go ahead, as per the plans, and with Manni's intentions, of creating entertainment facilities within the complex, and a hotel, the city could benefit with jobs, the profile of the city, and also revenue from outside of the city too.



Add in to that, if the stadium were to be used as neutral venues, for the challenge cup, and minor internationals (we hosted Wales v Jamaica not that long ago)



For me, the worst part of the city, appearance wise, in the past 20 years or so, has been Kirkgate. With the work that is currently being carried out near Wilkos, and the plans for Rutland Mills being developed near the Hepworth, if this did happen I think the area will start to look a whole lot better and more appealing on the eye, for both locals and visitors, whether you support the club or not.



It will show how short sighted the council really are, should they continue to drag their heels on this, and not deliver as per promised

If I was an outsider I would find Boxes response quite convincing. He does not however look comfortable , or could that be how he performs at all council meetings .

I have found many of the reports / statements made confusing by both parties and many of the main points lost .

I wish the club all the best in its endeavours.

Best form of defence is attack. He is rattled.

Could not agree more......just watched the video of the meeting . The minute he starts to make a joke of the situation ...trying to be funny/clever he loses the argument. Comes over rattled and very unprofessional .....
