    Have I missed an academy update?

    Honestly do not see how all the facilities will be able to be on the same site. The best CCFC I think will get is that they have use of indoor facilities, a floodlit artificial surface, 1 maybe two grass pitches and pretty much most of the other rooms they currently have. The AHC will turn in to...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    the netball courts have been effectively lost for 6 years though, well before any wasps proposal or interest at AHC. So really it isn't going to cause any problem to the Wasps planning application. Is there a shortage in netball courts in the last few years? Apparently ceased being used because...

    Council request for ‘help’ to ‘justify’ Wasps move into Coventry City academy

    sorry after reading the attachments I am failing to see what the point is that he has "evidenced" that makes any real difference I would have thought it was quite normal for planning officers to request extra information in order to put forward a positive case. Quite normal to question existing...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    so doesnt actually say it has to be on one site - so say Warwick Uni could be used for second site or some other venue Didn't Wasps say that they could have the kicking barn 15 hours per week - we only use for 12 They need access to 4 grass pitches, how many are left after development, is it...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    I know what he said stupot but not sure it is anything more than word play. I very much doubt any major deal/contract is signed off by the directors without first getting the owners say so. Would need to be a directors signature to bind the company to an agreement but the real power is with one...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    We all have the facilities details required by the rules (see above) CCFC & CSF have the current facility details at the AHC under the current user agreement As facilities provider CSF would be able to say what they can provide at AHC going forward after development, Wasps could indicate what...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    "Over the last 5 years we have recouped around £5.5 to £6 million for 2 players." Did it? Was that down to the academy Cat 2 status I assume you mean Wilson & Maddison? A deal worth x is not always the same as the amount ultimately received. The true cost of the Academy should be the club...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    not the primary responsibility of CCC, CSF, Wasps at all don I agree. Responsibility for CCFC's current & future welfare primarily lays with the current owners/directors as custodians of the club. That doesn't mean that the others are absolved of all responsibility though. Bottom line is that...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    I know what you are saying stupot. In the scheme of things are the extra costs of multiple sites that much? People have to travel to the AHC in any case would it be so hard to travel to say the Warwick Uni site? Would it be possible to rent a room or two at another site? We don't know what the...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    I had a conversation with someone from the FL who deals with the Academies. He was aware of the CCFC Academy situation. This was an informal chat so any proposal would still need proper assessment and approval by FL. No emails etc to post up so up to you if you take my word for it or not. The...

    So how prepared do you think the UK is for a terrorist attack?

    There is no way to catch every terrorist or prevent every attempt. The best the security agencies & forces can do is to minimise the risk. Wasn't it said in Parliament that the security forces had foiled 7 or 8 possible/credible attacks in the last year or so If a terrorist wanted to get in to...

    Going with what we've got????

    I don't know if we will be going with what is, I doubt it, TM will need more than what we have now and wouldn't talk about players due in if it couldn't happen. He has said it might take till end of August though. Staff can put two and two together and get to five sometimes However it would not...

    RIP Labour

    Personally I can not see Corbyn leading the country I think he would be a disaster. He doesn't come across to me as a someone strong enough. He is single minded yes but leadership is more than that. Cant help but think of him more as a kindly old grandad who you go to for advice. Yes I know he...
