There does seem a lack of urgency in safe guarding the Academy. Yes the club need the co operation of others like CSF but the prime guardian of its Academy has to be the club itself. So what is it they are doing, how can we support the efforts they lead with, what are the alternatives. CCFC and...

Always have been and remain very much for an Academy, but some thoughts..... The new academy system (cat 2) started in 2013 didn't it............ when did Wilson and Christie graduate from the Academy? before this new system was in place I think. What was the funding under the old system? How...

You see my response to that is to question the nature of what caused Wasps to suspend talks (not cancel) - I suspect it was legal "noise" other than the JR. It would be interesting to know when it was CCFC actually told CSF they wanted to stay wouldn't it? Others on here go on about PR being...

You don't need 23 events if the spend per head is greater. If the spend per head is higher then they don't need to put 23 events on or they could find 23 events of higher spend per head and go with that instead One Wasps match of 12000 crowd raises Wasps 70K in F&B plus match tickets £216k...

you sure of that? and the reasons behind it ? Many times what has been said in this whole saga somehow has ended up being something different in reality. All I would say is keep an open mind, and perhaps ask where most of the "information" actually comes from

Perhaps a better observation would be ask why that would be, rather than make assumptions. Both CCFC and Wasps regularly use various forms of PR to promote particular agendas or even more simply their brands. One hasn't been very good at it though or has failed to back up much of what it has...

well i can think of three events this closed season that made up getting on for half of such a number and spent a lot more than £1.97 per head. It isn't necessarily about the number of times it is the type of event and the income created from that footfall. Rugby has what 16 events? with crowds...

People made the assumption that there is nothing to replace CCFC with previously ................ that turned out well didn't it.................... and that was under a less commercially aggressive council and charity. Yes probably between 700k and £1m gross income .................. then take...

I would agree NW. I think that it is plain to see that attitudes towards CCFC are hardening and that any leaway that may have existed is quickly fading. I would image that come 2018 there will be a significant increase in costs from the £4375 CCFC pay to rent the stadium each match. I cant...

Rent £100k F&B Gross take from football circa £550k inc VAT after deducting costs the profit is split 50:50 with CCFC 72K Parking 2000 spaces 23 times per year tops Bars the average spend of a football fan at the Ricoh £1.97 per head inc VAT Casino relies on gambling not the fact that football...

It would be good but how does it solve the Cat 2 Academy status? The sports hall is exactly that, not an indoor pitch. The plans show the sports hall laid out for badminton courts

"There is a strict set of technical requirements we have to fulfil to retain our Category 2 status, which are non-negotiable – not from our end, but as far as the Premier League are concerned in order to fulfil the upcoming audit by the football authorities. It’s not simply a matter of finding...

Its all sorts of reasons I would think, holiday season, closed season, battle fatigue, fans disconnect etc - you name it and it will be a reason given. Aside from an article in the Ct and mention within another campaign by the Observer then it hasn't been covered that well. Its the old saying...

TM will work his budget and have a squad in place ready for the season. Whether that squad will be good enough given the budget restrictions who knows only time will tell. It is a way too early to be panicking about the squad size or quality though. A lot of other L1 teams are in the middle of...

my understanding of the arrangement at Higgs centre is that it was not a lease at all. What was signed was an agreement for a specified period that gave CCFC first call on block bookings so long as they booked it (and paid for) at least 3 months in advance. As such there would be no rights or...

comes back to a point I have made repeatedly.............. CCFC needs to build strong partnerships to get what they want, partnerships with the key decision makers not confrontational relationships. If they really want to stay in Coventry sooner or later they have build positive relationships...

obviously they are part of what went on or is going on, but please show me where there have been any meaningful long term plans by CCFC on anything. Would remind you BPA is not capable of being done as it stands, and whilst CCFC/CRFC and its owners might have "allowed" that "plan" to somehow...

that's the thing though 4 years on and CCFC have identified nothing that works...... two years in Wasps have picked their best assessment from 18 and submitted planning application........... begs a few questions of different sides certainly not least CCFC in terms of commitment imo

I would guess that the reasons Wasps went for this site is that it best met the criteria they had and was cost effective. I do not want CCFC forced out of there but the owners need to show more commitment in long term infrastructure of CCFC, to date they have failed miserably in that. Although...
