    Academy future?

    Seems there were a number of us at Whitley Abbey and in Stoneleigh. I was the year behind Keys and left in 1975

    Except the accounts show nothing of the sort. They show - losses of £3m even after £2.7m in transfer fees (there wont be such sales every year although in year to 31/05/16 following the sale of our only significant asset there will be) - that the Gross assets of the club have decreased by 1/3...

    Academy future?

    or did the club say no we don't want to renew - neither of us knows for sure The special treatment comment was far more general than is CCFC being told about this particular deal at the right time.

    Academy future?

    This rolling agreement. I assume that this is still encompassed in a deal that says the agreement to be a rolling arrangement lasts to a specific date. I can not imagine the arrangement had no end date. Also that the purpose of why it was done this way was to allow the Club to walk away on short...

    Academy future?

    And are they under any obligation to take decisions that are always positive for any 3rd party? As with the details of the Academy arrangement we don't actually know the financial details as to whether its viable or not either. It is not in any case like a decision that say a private company...

    Academy future?

    I am not holding my breath on that but it could happen. We are repeatedly told by everyone at the club the future of CCFC is a strong Academy, that it is vital to their viability. They have to do something or partner someone

    Academy future?

    They wont want to use Ryton because it will over use the pitches that the 1st team use I wouldn't have thought 3G pitches they could hire at venues across the city but could they get primacy of use at all times?. But what about all the other facilities (classrooms, meeting & admin rooms etc)...

    Academy future?

    If it is so important to the club to have a Cat 2 academy then I find it strange if the club has not safeguarded such an asset from the effects of third party actions. Especially given all that has gone on in the last decade. It should not be about what Higgs do or changes to the site. It...

    Academy future?

    certainly a lot of truth in that I would think stupot. However I have a suspicion that CCFC's agreement was not open ended and probably ended 2017 or 2018, that the club have refused to confirm that they would extend beyond that - everything they do seems short term (not necessarily a bad thing...

    Academy future?

    As for whats gone on well you can choose to believe its all part of stitch up of CCFC by CCC et al or that Wasps want the site so get the benefits from this in some way - they are supposed to be interested in a site nearby according to other threads on here It could be part of the...

    Academy future?

    I wouldn't blame them at all from disengaging from anything to do with any sport to be honest. Hasn't been a particularly edifying involvement for them and has brought a lot of troubles

    Academy future?

    They could - anything is possible given some money to do it Had a quick look at the Alan Higgs Centre Trust accounts. If the property is transferred to C&WAT then it looks to me like the AHCT is insolvent and may well have to be wound up. In which case its going to depend on who CCFC has their...

    Academy future?

    The Alan Higgs centre has changed hands and there could well be plans to build a swimming pool where the indoor pitch is That could threaten the Cat 2 status of the academy for CCFC and £500k of funding http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/deal-clears-way-new-14m-11056672...

    There are more important things coming up that will significantly impact on the future of CCFC far more than a CT advert, events that happened over 14mths and more ago, or name calling of fellow CCFC supporters. Every thread on here seems to descend into bickering over the same old often...

    Thats a good idea to start Nick. Use the local media to cover it too newspapers, radio, tv etc. Simple but if done properly effective and positive wouldnt cost much
