Has anyone got any updates from the SBT meeting tonight?

[I was eleven in 87]

I couldn't go tonight so was hoping that somebody who did could supply the details of the meeting?

Yes, my question got asked Whoever asked it is a legend!

 

[Nick]

Floor: Have you ever held discussions with Gary Hoffman, Joe Elliott or Ray Ranson?Nick Eastwood: Yes but I can't say which one.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The cracker so far:

'This move isn't franchising'

 

[Nick]

Nick Eastwood: This move isn't franchising.

Beat me to it. Just waiting for people to keep repeating it now.

 

[chiefdave]

I'm not sure how it can not be franchising. They could argue they had no other option but it's still moving a club miles away from it's home.

Thanks BSB, I am technologically inept and I'm not on Twitter ha ha!!

 

[torchomatic]

I think the keyword is "move".

In the same way Wimbledon "moved" to Milton Keynes?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That's the Q+A over. Not much new come from it except amongst other things revealing that Wasps started eyeing up the Ricoh at the end of last year.

 

[Nick]

Nick Eastwood: We don't have a PR machine. We've just done what we can. We want to be in the community and we love being here.

Hmmmmmmmmm

...and that they explicitly denied any interest in buying CCFC... and that somewhere a beast from the past lurks!

The CET said it wasn't Ray Ranson didn't they? 100%?

 

[Noggin]

Nick Eastwood: Derek Richardson owns Wasps not a Hedgefund. Wasps own 100% of ACL. No other parties involved.

so whats with all the mgi, maltese hedge fund stuff we've been hearing for weeks? more spin and lies?

 

[Nick]

They also said it wasn't franchising though and they don't have a PR Machine....

Don't be silly, Easters always goes on holiday in Malta then.

Mr Coventry back for more?

tbf he said he had no information to suggest, as far as I can remember.

The CT aren't the all-knowing eyes, even if they do have better contacts than most of us

 

[Nick]

Michael asked a decent question:

Michael Orton (KCIC): Please put forward an example of what you've done so far to help CCFC.

Nick Eastwood: Committing to upgrading and relaying the pitch is one so far.

I wouldn't say that is being done to help CCFC is it? Are Wasps going to play indoors?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Nick Eastwood: We signed an agreement with CCC that we wouldn't screw over CCFC and jack up the rent.
Nick Eastwood: Jimmy Hill and Memorial Garden are staying put. The bricks are part of the stadium structure.
Nick Eastwood: No not something we're considering (in regards to buying CCFC)
Nick Eastwood: There are ongoing discussions regarding these things (In regard to being kicked out the home dressing room)
Nick Eastwood: I couldn't even tell you what colour the seats are at Wycombe off the top of my head (About changing the seat colour)
Nick Eastwood: Could look into having a joint retail outlet at the Ricoh.
Floor: Have you ever held discussions with Gary Hoffman, Joe Elliott or Ray Ranson? Nick Eastwood: Yes but I can't say which one.
Nick Eastwood: We will provide a clean stadium. Any signage will belong to CCFC on a match day*.
Nick Eastwood: I think the majority will this year. After the summer probably around half as ST. The rest may go to half STs or lower (about Wasp season ticket holders)

Yep

It helps us but it wasn't done specifically to help us

 

[chiefdave]

I'd say it's just a happy side effect that we get a better pitch. Speaking of which someone told me rugby pitches have longer grass than football pitches, how is that going to work? Wouldn't want it to stop us playing the Coventry way!

 

[bradwellskyblues]

I have no anger towards wasps as they have done what they can for their club,but my anger is towards sisu/CCc for allowing this to happen

It's certainly spin.....ask whose financing the loan.

If the bricks are part of the stadium structure, it means that bloke who was planning to tear his out may cause some damage doing so

 

[Nick]

How does it work then if City Fans own part of the structure?

 

[pusbccfc]

Do we actually own the bricks, though? If so we could all demand our £50 quid back as its included as part of the sale of the stadium!

 

[Noggin]

do we though? didn't we just buy the right to have our name on a brick? we don't own part of the stadium and whatever deal we took on when buying these bricks certainly wouldn't have ever allowed us to take our brick home.

 

[stupot07]

What have you done to benefit ccfc?

Answer: committed to relaying the pitch....

Lol.

Being a rugby man, he may not realise that having a pitch like Arsenal's doesn't make you play like them.
