    Have I missed an academy update?

    That pre supposes that CCFC are a priority to Wasps and I do not think they are, certainly not at current net income levels for Wasps in any case . What they are doing is managing perception, just like CA/CCFC. It hasn't got as far as any sort of agreement or commitment on anything by either...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    The reply from CA seems to me to be closing doors. If they don't get a reply in writing then they wont talk. Someone will have to compromise surely. Whilst the easiest thing would be for CSF to send a non binding email of the facilities that could be available, at some point surely the club has...

    Wolves bought for 45 million

    for various reasons this is an interesting page in the accounts in terms of perhaps our Championship aspirations. Take a look at the split of incomes and how they might relate to (a) owning a ground (b)the totals (c) our situation. Then look at the wages bill of a team that missed out of the...

    The Balance / When Will You Be Concerned....

    This was the 2013 accounts analysis when I believe ticket prices were similar but average crowd 10906. No point looking at the Sixfield year Since then the shop has been franchised out, F&B is a small percentage share and car parking apparently non existent (old lease ccfc had 900 spaces to...

    The Balance / When Will You Be Concerned....

    Just a guess but I would think with 6000 season tickets sold that will increase income by 300k (if the overall mix results in a £50ph increase but that might be a bit high) excl VAT if we then average 12000 in total for the year then that should put turnover by another 300k or so (that's 23...

    The Balance / When Will You Be Concerned....

    Is that the budget that apparently over spent even with a 20% increase in gates or the corrected one to keep us within cash flow though or is it the SCMP calculated one which would exclude the Academy players promoted to first team this season or a figure set for all wages? Teams, not just CCFC...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    I think the Academy has more than financial benefits, it is the community and aspirational side of things that sways me towards keeping it. Hard cash it is impossible to tell what it actually costs and certainly there might well be other ways of doing things. Lets look at the problems 1)...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    wasn't the meeting CA pulled out of on 6th July ................ or is the suggestion that there are other meetings where that has happened and this is not the first time ? .............. the article was published 19th July so not a month later at all You could view it as PR if you choose...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    not really about making news though but about finding an academy solution. Assuming the objective of all concerned is retention of the Cat 2 status Academy would immediately pointing the finger be the diplomatic course of action or would giving a bit of time to make a new arrangement be better...

    even if there are gaps in the current provision we now know there could be the potential to fill those gaps by other means. Just requires a little thought, co operation and organisation. So the threat to the Cat 2 Academy is.................

    Have I missed an academy update?

    I can see some merit in a statement from the Trust however................. What tends to happen is that the Trust say something, others hide behind it or use it as an excuse not to say anything, blame the trust for saying things, then fans start going on about the trust doing nothing and the...
