Nope

No idea, i cant work out whether or not it is a good thing for us or a bad thing.

My suspicion is that has nothing whatsoever to do with Newmarket.



Clearly Yorkcourt are for some reason challenging Wakefield Council in the Administrative Court over something, but looking at what the Administrative Court hears and rules on (and of course the clue is in the title of the Court) it is likely to be some sort of challenge over some administrative legal decision Wakefield have made that Yorkcourt are challenging them over.



Given that Yorkcourt own lots of land and property in the Wakefield district it could be anything and also it is probably just a routine legal issue. What I mean by that is that Wakefield may have taken a decision that Yorkscourt want to challenge and they only way to do that from a legal perspective is to go through the courts.



Given the recent headlines over the new West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Control Centre, which is built on a Yorkcourt owned development site, it might something to do with that?

Thought the Leeds Councillors had been told to pipe down? This article would seem to say different. www.guardian.co.uk/leeds/2010/se ... dium-plans

The land on the opposite side of the M62 actually in Leeds territory is currantly up for sale, presumably they will have the same objections, also the article says it's in rothwell!?!?!?!?!

Well the last part of this paragraph shows the councillor has not looked as the drainage strategy. There are plenty of attenuation ponds and ditches are incorporated into the development and the exist foul water drainage has capacity for the extra waste water connections. The pumping station the water goes to also has spare capacity.

Yes thought I had heard about the SUDs before. It's not the accuracy of it I am concerned about, because if it was true then we would really struggle to get it passed, its the damage it can potentially do as yet more negative publicity, and cause those not aware of the full plans to form the wrong opinion and become anti the development.

Yet another nothing story.

Lazy journalism prevails once again.

For me the thought patterns of some journalists regarding our club is all too clear.



"What can we slate them on... Taxes!!! Brilliant!!...Right can't use tax man any more, what else have we got????.....Stadium!!"



Anything to add fuel to the fire!



Well come this time next month they just might have to think a little harder for something else to slate us on if this comes off.

Everything is coming together on that front IMO. The right people are making the right noises so to speak.

FWIW is the adjacent land that is up for sale part of the "green belt"?- Could Yorkcourt purchase it with the intent for it to become natural greenbelt land?- As a sweetener so to speak?- Just an idea..
