I spoke to Kevin Trickett at a WCS exhibition on one of the Wakefield Artwalk evenings, seems a decent bloke. He showed nothing but disdain for Peter Box and Wakefield Council, referred to them as 'this bloody lot'.

its a good that we have their support, I'd never heard of the group until now

Whilst I admire your optimism, I think you'll find it only counts as one objection.

maybe all the members of the WCS will object.

Anyone see Box's answer to Clr Ahmed's question regarding on going talks about the stadium? Could have wrote his answer on the back of a fag packet it was that laughably brief, and was even submitted to Box before hand by the sounds.
When pressed for more details Box comes back quite arrogantly then persists to put Clr Ahmed down with some unnecessary comments. In the very brief response he did say there were on going talks with Yorkcourt, owners of belle Vue (Manni) and 'other interested parties' but no mention specifically of the club....

Unfortunately, this has been Box's stock answer for the past few council meetings and that doesn't look like changing anytime soon. He also makes a comment to Clr Ahmed that you wouldn't expect business negotiations to be made public, no i wouldnt, but it would be nice to know what your plans are and provide some proof that the negotiations are actually taking place!

I must agree that the way that Box speaks to the his opposition is quite uncomfortable to witness, he clearly attempts to belittle, humiliate and attack them at the earliest opportunity. Sadly there is no fight back.

Can i ask the a question of the Trust, are we just waiting for the legal advice to be finalised before starting legal proceedings? Or is there another step before that?

Not your problem is it, but if you want to help and aren't just trolling then details will become available when the time is right.

Yep, more smoke and mirrors with the 'no business negotiations are made in public etc' line. I suspect at the same time he's being careful with his words with a potential court case on the line, and it was likely no mistake him not mentioning specifically that he was still working with 'the club' - just Yorkcourt, Manni and 'people concerned'.
The mans attitude stinks, and it's not the first time we've seen him act this way in public (again, towards Clr Ahmed) when poised with the same question a few years ago. Either the actions of an arrogant individual or a man on the defensive - or both!

And yet I think he is a very poor orator!I think anyone who is used to public speaking would soon put Box the bully in his place.
