Its great how he lifts stories from here and the Observer and then claims them as exclusives!

How was CCC refusing to even consider CCFC owning a stake in the stadium prior to SISU coming in a consequence of stunts pulled by SISU?

The original condition had to be removed as it forbid all football, not that the condition was ever enforced. If the condition was still in place Cov Utd couldn't play there. It was when the condition was being altered that CCC wanted to add a clause to prevent professional football. When that...

Come on, you have to be blind not to see the council fall over themselves to assist Wasps and do the very minimum they can legally get away with when it comes to us.

That's not a planning issue. That's a restriction the council tried, and failed, to have added to the BPA lease when ownership was transferred recently to Jon Sharp / CRFC.

They've had to take out an overdraft and had a loan put in by the owner which doesn't sound like they're sat on a huge pile of money.

Houses is further down isn't it, past the primary school on land that comes under WDC.

No they purchased both the council and Higgs share for £2.77m each. They then extended the lease for £1m. So a total of £6.54m. But we're not talking about how much they paid we're talking about the debt. At the point Wasps took over ACL the debt was £14.4m of which they council paid back...

Really? How much was owed to the council at the point Wasps took over compared to how much Wasps owe on the bond issue?

Portsmouth used to train in the local park, they've now moved to the local Roko. Who cares where it is as long as its the right standard. If this does happen surely its a win all round. At minimum an improvement in the current facilities there, at best in the long term you could see additional...

If the academy is moving in the pitches will be looked after by CCFC and the required improvements made. They're not just going to turn up one morning and hope for the best. Potentially there's room at Finham to move the whole thing there down the line if future owners want to put a bit of...

Quote from the council in the CT today So doesn't sound like the "active not passive support from Coventry City Council" Fisher spoke about. Why can't the football club get the same level of assistance Wasps do with any plans. When it was them building at Higgs there were emails from the...

The indoor centre doesn't have the required facilities does it? And there's not the number of pitches required.

Leader of the council quoted in the CT piece odd thing to say as previously he has said if SISU drop the legal action and pay the council off they would assist the club.

Have I missed something, Fisher didn't say we'd already got planning permission did he?

Blimey, forgotten what winning feels like!

What's going on, is Robins the messiah?

From last May

Noise is pretty much a non starter. There will be an acoustic assessment, with that data it will be hard to argue against it. One issue will be how they establish the likely noise, the usual way for an application like this is to take readings at the existing stadium. The crowd at the Ricoh...
