Have heard rumours from 2 different sources over last week or two that there would be good news regarding the ground and it would involve developing Belle Vue. But hey we have so many false dawns.

I’m just miffed the guy has gone on record again raising people’s hopes. If there’s nowt happening keep it shut. I simply can’t believe a word the blokes says, however as with all of us, I’m happy on this occasion to be proven wrong. I’m just not holding my breath!

Call me cynical: but if he's still spouting lies and excuses then following it up with vague promises of 'good news' I wouldn't hold my breath. I imagine this good news will be no more than another unrealistic proposal to drag this out even longer then blame the club for being unreasonable - again. And if it is another proposal to do up Belle Vue, IMO that's nothing but another red herring to get us off the Newmarket scent while York Court continue to gobble up the land.

No, I don't go with the redevelopment of Belle Vue thing either, its a bit too restrictive, its not the site you'd choose if you were starting from scratch.
Having said that, if its a choice between Belle Vue + a fair crack at income streams other than match days VS Newmarket and in hock, lock stock and barrel to a 3rd party, I'll take Belle Vue.

With where we are right now, I'd take a re-develloped BV all day long but, I dont trust Box and co on little bit.
How many times can they get away with the same delaying/non event tactics.

I just with that they (WMDC) would put as much effort into getting the thing moving as they do in thinking up crap to just delay, delay, delay.

Lying out of his backside as usual. The sooner someone gets rid of him the better.

Me neither that’s more wishful thinking. It too late for BV and I can’t see any scenario where that might happen but then this is WMDC so anything is possible with the least sensible option ending up the winner - see Sun lane bath.

Sad to hear Paddy Ashdown has died.

I can only imagine this to be possible if the current owner has been offered an incentive by the Council and or the contamination of the BV site is prohibitively costly - I’m led to believe the latter is true.

We will see but something is going on because the silence is deafening.
