Yeah but SISU will pull us out when they want and suits them. They have previous for it. Contracts stand for nothing with them. Fisher said he wants an out of town stadium with academy on same site.

How much do you think it costs to have the academy there? More than it would to have a swimming pool? An Olympic sized one? Would it be more expensive to have a whole Rugby training base there? Wasps wanted a sponsor for the training ground so they didn't have to pay for it? Does that mean the...

You are unbelieveable Italia! He can give the commitment that they can help young footballers progress their careers and in turn go some way to securing the football clubs future. That a football team should be at the heart of it's community. That as a sports foundation they should be promoting...

Anderson has said they want to stay? What more do you want? It's quite clear they are not building a new academy. Struggling to build a stadium. Struggled to find land. CSF need to indicate whether they can accomodate the academy beyond next year. If so, at what expense? If they can't, why not...

Didn't Man City increase their capacity last summer? I know they have a bottomless pit of money but just thinking of timescale. If it's built with expansion in mind the cost and time shouldn't be too bad. Funny thing is about capacity comnplaining is, the Ricoh can't be expanded I believe I...

Thanks Jan. To me this is a far bigger issue than any new stadium or rental deal at the Ricoh. Without an academy to provide first team players and the occasional player to sell, the club will struggle to survive. Fingers crossed for a resolution. Is there anything us fans could do, do you...

More importantly, any news about the academy?

Give it a rest dongo. You're like a broken record. You think it should be 18k or above. You have made that point clear over and over and over again. Is the starting point not 15k because there is already outline planning permission for a stadium that big?

Any idea how far they have got? Discussed finance? I would love it personally, I'll even labour for free. How many fans would it take to dig a sunken pitch? Or has anyone on here got a JCB? :D

Whilst I agree with you. It's the cities football team that has been here since 1883. The same team who united the City under Jimmy Hill and an FA cup triumph. The council should rise above it, their elected representatives who should have the good of the city in mind. Irrelevant of personal...

Train? Make a day of it? This is why a city centre location is ideal, the shops and pubs etc would see an upturn in footfall and money spent. This is of course if you could get a ticket ;)

30 is more than enough but no to 25 thousand? How are you whining about 5 thousand?

I think safe standing would be brilliant. Similar to the Dortmund wall but bit smaller, unambitious I know, but it's a start. Depending on capacity of the other stands, whether one tier or two. The corners could be left out and filled in if required as part of the expansion? Would be easier to...

They want to kill the football club to vindicate their decision. It's appalling. Something needs to be done. SISU can wait. If no one stops the council/wasps/higgs/CET in their mission. We won't have a football club, never mind SISU having one.

Would there not be a penny in the pound kind of offer? Thus reducing the YB loan which was the original plan. Employees would have lost out? Only if the stadium closed? As you said SISU being the only interested party would be unlikely so a takeover/purchase/buy out would secure employees...

No text?

Because you can't get there by walking? Or that another hedge fund now has your heart?

Would love Turner if he stayed fit. Would take Tabb over Baker but would prefer we didn't sign players just because they once played for us.

Ahhhhh but this was at the same point SISU were only approved as they weren't interested in the stadium. Shapiro and Manhattan were and got no where. So whilst in theory you're right, the evidence would appear to say otherwise.

So as I have mentioned before there would have been an open bidding process for ACL in administration. The only people to lose anything being YB. I acknowledge the charity losing their share. Can someone tell me why this was such a devastating option? Other than SISU might have bought it. It...
