    Sporting England / Higgs

    OSB, I take your points, which are well-made. However, the absence of the "sufficient information" which they requested 5 weeks ago WOULD be regarded as grounds for objection of the application in its current form.

    Sporting England / Higgs

    It is unfortunate that the guy from Sport England didn't have the balls to say "Sport England is a statutory consultee for this application. However, insufficient information has been provided to assess the application against Exception E5 of our policy, despite this information being requested...

    Look like we will go with what we have....

    There was a professor of sports business from Salford Business School on BBC CWR this morning, who said that due to the restrictions of lower league clubs shelling out more than 60% of their income on wages, and we have no income from stadium revenue, we are mid-table in terms of salary budgets...

    Yeah, well pretty much everyone in the ground knew he shouldn't be taking it!

    Pressley in at Fleetwood!!

    Why does the Telegraph think people give a shit enough to lift a story from their Lancashire counterparts? Oh yeah ... cos it's lazy journalism!

    Tony Mowbray explainswhy he sold Coventry City fans' favourite Romain Vincelot to Bradford City

    All these "undisclosed fees" are bollocks. In what other sphere are limited companies allowed to sell their assets without having to inform their shareholders and publish it in their accounts submitted to Companies House? It's a fucking scandal, and needs to be looked into by the appropriate...

    Simon Gilbert Announcement

    Whether he cares or not is hard to say, because he works for an organization that clearly sides with the council, but I sense not!

    Having Tom Hanks playing PWKH is inspired. Who better than a Villa fan to rub our faces in it?

    Orlando Shootings

    They are trying to dress it up as Islamic terrorism (to avoid having to look in the mirror), but the issue is that he was nothing more than a homophobic (mentally-unstable, according to his ex-wife) lunatic, with all-too-easy access to massive arsenals of weaponry at short notice.

    Simon Gilbert Announcement

    Maybe he's leaving the Telegraph to go back to college and learn how to conduct investigative journalism, rather than scouring the internet and social media for half-truths and groundless rumours?

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    Bri, Warwickshire County Council are not the planning authority. You probably mean one of Nuneaton & Bedworth, Rugby, Warwick, Stratford or North Warwickshire District Councils (heaven forbid!)

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    Yeah, right. All this is SISU's fault. I forgot that. Thanks for the reminder KoK. You may recall that have been many rumours (admittedly) about sites for a new stadium, and SISU have concentrated on sites in neighbouring local authorities where CCC have no jurisdiction. But the fans said "No...

    Higgs have legal clauses inserted to block CCFC and back Wasps only

    Well it is entirely within the control of Higgs to extend or renew the lease for the Academy and tell Wasps to fuck off and "invest" (JLR-style) else-fucking-where. WHY have they not done that? I'm sure CCFC could find £400K to pay Higgs' blood money. What if the Trust were to organize a...

    A sad state of affairs...

    The "SISU out at any cost" believers among you are deluded (in my opinion, of course). Do you really think that CSF's refusal to enter into negotiations to extend the Academy's lease on the Higgs Centre is because SISU, the devil incarnate, is in charge? No. Wasps want the Higgs, and will harm...

    Planning Application Objections

    Good plan to do something proactive against CCC and Wasps, rather than just slagging SISU

    Sisu bullying back-firing?

    One direct question which demands an answer: Why was CCFC's offer for the second 50% of ACL rejected (which would have allowed us to have a true financial ground-share with Wasps), in favour of a lower offer from Wasps, an act which defrauded the people of the City of Coventry out of the...

    New kit??

    Worrying that Nike refer to it as their "Division 2" shirt! Maybe it's expected to show up better against yellow and black seats! DON'T like the idea that it is a generic Nike shirt rather than being unique to us. How can they justify the mark-up from £15.72 to £52 by putting a big "&" sign on...

    Butts park arena?

    That is pretty damning, isn't it? I'm not up on property law, so I don't know if a freeholder can just add covenants as they see fit, but I'd like to see their justification

    upstart crow

    Did they use the same sets as Blackadder II, as well as the same gags? Can't stand Ricky Gervais at the best of times, but the parody of him is even worse! Saw Episode 1, but won't be revisiting!
