It could be yes, I did not put Outwood on purpose of the moment as the more local the better, but if you could PM your details I might call on you if needed. Would that be ok?

Slightly off the main topic but still reacting to part of your post, IF the WCCG are really a Wakefield CCG then what if anything have they done or are they doing about any other conservation issues in Wakefield?



If they are genuine then they will be AS ACTIVE in other issues as they are about the Newmarket Colliary site, however if they are the NIMBY's we suspect (know) them to be then they will have done nothing with regards to any other issues in Wakefield.



This might be a route by which we can expose these individals for what they really are!

You can count me in ... I live in Stanley and so do my parents so they will swell numbers too if required (in fact my Mum's father worked at Newmarket Colliery)



Will pm you later on with details Inflatable_Armadillo

Doesn`t Bruce Grobelaar live in Methley, as a former player sponsor I`d hope he would be backing the development? No harm in asking him anyway.

Thought he lived in Heath, but was then moving to Canada.



Anyhow, is there anyone else out there who will answer IA rallying call?

I have someone from Methley who PM'ed, which is top news and of course now Catwoman1 and her parents but need more from these and other areas.



I am thinking about timing and also planning to speak to the politicians (PPC's and councillors) and as such, depending on what they say, I might leave this until after the general election (once they are elected and willing to speak more freely) BUT it could be as early as late this week/early next week!



So I need your input ASAP as we might run with it sooner rather than later if the timing is better.



I also know that while I will try and pick a very convenient time for everyone, everyone who does reply might not be able to make the time chosen for the photo, so need as many people as possible.

IA, perhaps you need to make a slight amendment to the thread title to generate more interest, I think something along the lines of ‘New Stadium Planning Application to be Rejected; It’s all Ted’s fault’ should do it.

As a Rhino I am going to exercise my right to say 'no comment' but genuinely will change the title of the thread to something more 'eye-catching' if you think it will work?

Sorry Clan, yes, that is exactly what I am going to do in my press briefing but need to be careful to be factual and not to appear hostile towards them. Luckily once I have written it all down my wife, who is the Communications Manager for a rather large distribution arm of a rather large UK retailer, will professionally edit and probably 'tone-down' elements as required.



You have seen the length of my posts... I often need a good edit!

I'm from Stanley, all my life........I'll include father, still in Stanley.

For the record I am a Wakefield fan, but also my grandfather worked at Newmarket back in the day so have some connections there too.

This is a cause worth getting behind. I'll PM details.

Inflatable_Armadillo - firstly thank you for all the hard work you are doing on our behalf. Secondly, I live in Wrenthorpe which is probably too far away from the development, but on the off chance it's not I'd be happy to show my support.

Happy to help, will pm you also.
