Hopefully we're not building it too close to the Stour, don't want to get flooded out now do we.

Well then I shall look forward to our new stadium near Shipston, that's still within the CV postcode.

According to everything I've heard the Higgs were only supposed to be holding on to the share temporarily whilst we got our finances sorted out, and we all know how that went. Sisu obtain the shares in our club (clearly didn't have a problem with funds) and then didn't buy them back. They made...

It would/will (or am I hoping for too much) to see what the full details of the "very generous offer" from the club actually amounted to. Having read the article it appears that the Higgs are going to be getting cash from every Wasps game, assuming that they sell any seats in the North stand -...

Great to see we kept a clean sheet, shame the same can't be said of my phone network. :(

That's not sounding good. :(

What? I've got the BBC teletext on and they haven't changed to showing a core yet. Where does 1994 come into it, unless that's a score prediction.

Still says 19:45 kick off on Ceefax not 0-0 :(

I'd agree with that, it'll be shocking if they haven't been shamed by the performance at the weekend.

Sorry I was talking historically before Wasps entered the picture as buyers. The Higgs had to offer CCFC Ltd first dibs but assuming Ltd. (or Mr Appleton) didn't want it, then other than that they were free to sell to anyone they felt like*. *The council could then have vetoed the sale but...

I have actually been converted by Grendel to the position that the charity had made an investment in ACL (as Sisu did in our club) and the value of investments can go up as well as down. If they lose money then that's tough luck but the same applies to Sisu and our club. The Higgs own half of...

Yeah it would be nice that they got their just deserts after being so hypocritical and two faced.

For the record I'm not saying that's what happened, as I have no first hand knowledge, only what has been reported. It's possible that Wasps were in contact with the council the full two years ago (or some point in between) and the council only met with them face to face this summer. If they...

So long as he doesn't do silly things that earn him a ban......

No idea what she said on Sky I don't have it. Do you subscribe and do you know?

Probably was 2 years in the planning, but that doesn't mean that they approached the council at that time.

According to the Telegraph Lucas said on CWR on the day the deal was announced that Wasps first approached them in the summer.

Why would the council have vetoed the deal? I'm talking in this thread about when the relationship with the council/ACL wasn't soured by the rent boycott etc. Why wouldn't they have green lit the sale to the club, the entity the stadium was built for, just after Sisu obtained the club? Or are...

Where did the council come into this? I'm saying that we had the option for the Higgs share of ACL (at a formula price) and buying that would have given us what I listed earlier. We'd have certainly avoided being sidelined by the council being approached by Wasps. I've said all along that if we...

I never said there was a comparison to the deal on the table now.
