But the fact is that sadly they are out of their depth and don't have the qualifications, experience or expertise of these kinds of dealings, the only one that did was Sir Rodney and he hasn't exactly covered himself in glory.
Firm - Maybe that is why they have invited him back onto the original trust - to steer the ship so to speak ?

I imagine the original plan was for Walker to guide the way but that ship has probably sailed now. They need a couple of experts in their field in there though to fill the gap, a group of triers no doubt but need help on the knowhow and influence, preferably from outside to look at it with fresh eyes.

D-day next week. Wakey are releasing details on season tickets along with where they are playing. I'm tipping it's their last year at BV.

The thread on their rlfans page is all a bit muted and whilst understandable the trust members who post on there probably can't say too much at the minute, reading between the lines of the posts they have made it doesn't sound like it's the outcome they want. Could be totally wrong of course and looks like tomorrow all will be revealed.

Strange that the council have called meetings for today and tomorrow but not invited any members of the trust. could Sir Rodney be involved again ?

Michael Carter and Chris Bretherton are both members of the trust. Regarding Rodney, not an earthly, he and MC don't get on, as far as I understand it, the meeting was between Peter Box, MC, CB, and Manni Hussain the owner of BV. Read what you will into that. I'm gonna guess, one more season at BV and in the meantime efforts will be made to find funding for a scaled down stadium, which MC and CB will refuse. MC has already Tweeted that, not just any old community stadium will do, suggesting he's not 100% happy with the offer.
All speculation on my part here.

Interesting Jinger. See what tomorrow brings. I don't think you will be far off the mark with that assessment.

its already being said that our new stadium (10,000) won't be big enough if we continue to grow at our current rate.
if the council were to lend wakey £10,000 they could buy our stadium. then the council lend us £10,000 and with the £10,000 we got from wakey we could demolish the jungle and build a 15,000 capacity stadium there.
we've both then had £10,000 each from the council and both got the new stadia we need.
only kidding jinj mate. ;)

Bellevue to be redeveloped.

I'll be the first to admit I haven't been following this very closely, but I have a few questions.
1. Didn't Youcourt say there was no money for the new ground? But suddenly they're paying for what's quite clearly going to be a new ground. Just in a different location
2. Will the council be giving Cas and Fev an equal amount to whatever it's going to cost for the lease? Or will Wakey be paying the council back? If they are going to be paying it back why dont Wakey take the lease out their selves
3. Since there's no spare land around the existing stadium (other than behind the main stand) where's all the extra land coming from around the other 3 sides of the ground.

Whole thing seams like a stalling tack tic to me

Just been looking on google earth and I can't see how they can fit a 10,000 stadium on the bv site. Unless they build one massive stand on one side and nothing on the other 3. Bigger pipe dream than ours I reckon. When you factor in what's required for planning in terms of access, car parking, emergency services access, impact to neighbours etc it's unlikely to get past outline planning even if the council own the leasehold. On another note, bet everyone in the five towns area will be thrilled to see their council tax being spent to please 5000 fans of a privately owned enterprise. Not for the first time as I seem to recall .....

Lot of negative assumptions and wishful thinking Spanish. While understanding the cynicism it does look very possible now. A proper funding stream from YCP and 88M looks set to deliver. YCP get the extra land to develop at Newmarket (Houses) which releasing extra funding. Beats sniffing round Pension funds who demand an aggressive return on investment. Roll on 2020. Well done to Carter whose taken the club from near bankruptcy on the verge of relegation to a top 4 fully solvent club about to get a secure future with a New ground. Truly outstanding achievement. :clap:

We're gonna have a really small playing area. :)
1.I'm in the dark as much as everyone, but on the artists impression the roof of the North stand has 88M super imposed on it.
2. Can't answer that one.
3. No spare land, how about the bloody massive car park, move the playing area over to that side a little, not sure if you've been to BV but we have four sides now, albeit one is temporary, There is a fair bit of room behind the Benidorm flats, whether there's enough to build a stand is up to the architects/builders. If the impressions are supposedly accurate the North stand looks much shallower than the existing North stand so the playing area could be moved up towards the church.

Aaron Bower‏ @AaronBower 4h4 hours ago

Plan is: WT remain anchor tenants. Council will borrow the money to build the stadium before transferring ownership to @WakefieldTrust
