Yeah, but OSB makes a good point about the club not having responded to the consultation before the required deadline, so the Council weren't under any obligation to allow them to speak.

I'm not bothered if the planning application gets approved in a form where our Cat 2 academy can still be accommodated.

I don't think it's a special exception. Speaking from personal experience, if you make a representation through your local councillor, for example, he/she should ask if you wish to speak at the planning meeting. And you get your 3 minutes. That's the whole point of a public meeting, I think.

The RECOMMENDATION from the planning officer is for the committee to approve the application, but they are not under any obligation to do so, particularly if they hear strong arguments at the public meeting. I know this is "cloud cuckoo land" thinking, but that is the process, and if CCFC want...

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.

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...

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!

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!

Thank you, Mystic Meg! #deluded

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...

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?

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.

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?

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!)

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...

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...

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...

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