MY HEART sank last week when I heard the news that the Warrington Wolves Stadium issue must go to a public inquiry.

Wasn't the democratic process we have in this country carried out to the letter last summer?

Anybody opposed to the move to the former Tetley Walker site on Winwick Road was given time and space to raise their objections.

Some did including Widnes (Halton) Council. They objected about possible loss of shoppers to the Tesco store! But in my opinion their objections were to do with Widnes getting into Super League at our expense.

Some people chose not to attend. Councillor 'Red Fox' Hughes for one. Clr Hughes is well aware of how a democracy works but chose to spit the dummy out and subversively wrote to Parliament. You snake Hughes. I hope the good people of Warrington remember you at the next Council elections. Our role is to serve the people of Warrington and you have stabbed them in the back.

To cap everything off I read in last week's GUARDIAN that one of our very own MPs, Helen Jones, has not offered the people's team her backing.

Do the public of Warrington know where Helen Jones is from? Take a guess...Correct, "Smogland' (Widnes). Does anyone 'smell a rat?'

My late father worked at Wilderspool and so I've been watching the team since I was two, but now 31 years later the fate of our beloved proud team is being dealt hammer blows by people paid to serve us!

To the public of Warrington, please support 'Your Team' this year. Write to John Prescott and remember Clr Hughes and Mrs Jones at the next elections.

Wire forever...Hughes and Jones again NEVER!
