Al is the fairest Wakey fan on RLFANS, save your raff for notorious Cas haters and obsessors like Vastman, Mr Brown and deeHell.
Am I a Cas hater Daz? Where is your proof??
All I have ever stated is you have a funding gap, nothing more yet no one seems big enough to admit I may have been right no matter how obvious it is - I assume just because I said it. Ditto Westerman, it's just an opinion which some Cas fans take personally. People should read the posts I put before the become defensive and over react, that of course will never happen.
I think Cas have been hugely let down by Richard Wright - but again that doesn't make me a Cas hater.
Due to my involvement with SWAG I have been lucky to be in the loop for the past five years as regards Wakey and WMDC, as a by product of that I have received some, not all, but some info on Cas which I have shared with you - if that's agenda ridden then so be it.
I can tell you this much, I'm no longer in the loop out of choice. However I still get updates. That said in the last 5 month I've found out nothing, whatever is happening at both clubs they are serious because no one is talking. Sure some people on both forums seem to have bits of the picture but despite what they think they don't know the full story, in fact they know less than me and I have half the story at best. I have never known Trinity as secure as this on info as they are now.
Good bit is I can speculate now without breaching confidences.
Daz FWIW I think the following is happening. Both clubs will receive no Council funding and will have to persue private developments. Neither club has the cash to uphold their part of such a deal. The only people who can bridge the gap are WMDC. As was stated in council meetings I attended and are minuted for public consumption Mr Box stated catagorically WMDC will not use public money for either club.
So what I think WMDC are trying to do is create some sort of funding mechanism for both clubs which does not directly involve the Council. However said mechanism will allow the council to drive the projects without actually funding it. I won't speculate as to what councils can bring to a development other than cash, but it's a lot as you can imagine.
The main aim of the Council IMHO is to create an environment where the projects are so attractive and viable, any cashed up developer of which there are still a few would be foolish not to take it on.
This will remove a 5 year old thorn from Mr Boxes side without him having to answer too many awkward question yet still look good - he is a politician first.
Again this is utter speculation - but it's logical IMHO.
