    Of course they are entitled to sell to whoever they wish. But that wasn't being questioned. It was being asserted that CCFC made no attempt to purchase which is simply false. They submitted a bid and it was rejected while Wasps bid was accepted.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Sounds like you're agreeing that being in the EU wasn't the issue and leaving won't solve it. You still haven't said what you want changing with regards to EU citizens post Brexit. When did we give total autonomous control to Junker? Will he retain that when his term ends in two years? The sort...

    55-5, what a shambles. Need 113 more to make them bat again and they declared in their first innings!

    Match Thread Cambridge United - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 16th Sep

    Definitely a winnable game. We know the plan now, Solid at the back and then hope Jones or Vincenti can come up with a bit of magic or a hoof over the top comes off.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    His speech, at least the scenario six part of it came across more like his personal wish list than a practical and achievable way for the Union to move forward. The reaction it received gives early indication he is unlikely to be able to cross off much of his wish list. I can see the benefit of...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The ability to go and work in another country without having to deal with the time and expense of obtaining a work permit. The better question here is why did the UK authorities ignore Hamza and take no action against him for years? Had they done so he would more than likely have been locked up...

    The same article you reference has Eastwood finally confirming they were invited to talks, which he had previously denied, and stating that they had rejected that request. If they are open to negotiation and happy to talk why when asked to attend talks do they say no?!

    I think you're a bit confused. The whole reason we ended up with SISU in the first place is they were the only bidders who didn't want ownership of the stadium, that wasn't part of their plan.

    Wasps ended talks, CCFC invited them to talks with someone independent observing, Wasps refused. Yet we're supposed to believe Wasps are ready to talk and any problems are down to SISU. Nobody gives a toss if SISU have been hard done by or not. Its just that some people do actually care what...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    OK, so if we can't enforce the regulations now how are we going to enforce whatever new regulations come in? That's what makes no sense. We vote to leave to 'take back control of our borders' when we already have the right to control them but not he ability and / or manpower. Hamza is Egyptian...

    Was reported in the CT as £2.8m which Higgs didn't deny when saying they were rejecting it.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    So lets just for a second imagine that post Brexit EU immigration is suddenly zero. Where do we get the labour we need from? Don't say we'll let in people from the EU to work because that's what the directive is now and you've said we need to leave to take control. And besides that how are...

    Not really millions is it? but of course its all the bloody immigrants fault, nothing to do with the decline in number of homes being built.

    Because they aren't lived in. There is a record number of empty homes and its increasing.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The EU Citizens' Rights Directive 2004/38/EC. Clause 9 states EU citizens have an unrestricted right to visit for 3 months only. Further clauses show some of the restrictions on stays over 3 months, for example clause 10 states the EU citizen must not be a burden on the host countries social...

    But ACL was doing just fine without CCFC. I distinctly recall the likes of Ann Lucas and PWKH telling us that at every available opportunely.

    I believe they offered more than Wasps for the Higgs 50%. They were never given the opportunity to bid on the council's 50% on similar terms to Wasps.

    No at all concerned that is was being reported as a close vote until the councillors met with Wasps in secret, a meeting at which no minutes or any record whatsoever were kept, and came out of said meeting voting unanimously to sell ACL at a loss.

    On what are you basing your assertion that most people are happy that Wasps purchased ACL at a loss to the taxpayer?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    That doesn't make sense? The present rules do prevent it but he UK government doesn't, or can't, enforce the rules. That being the case it doesn't matter what the rules are changed to. EU Directive 2004/38/EC (which only the UK and Ireland opted out of) states EU citizens can only stay for 3...
