Is it compulsory to play or can we withdraw? Hope the club voted against this. Suspect they haven't as the clubs that did have been quick to announce it. Best bet might be everyone boycotting. If nobody turns up it will be complete farce. Its hard enough to get people to go to JPT games...

I certainly don't. I guess the difference would be at that point everyone was going it alone. Now we'd be going it alone with everyone else in a group. Again its the unknowns isn't it. We pretty much know where we are staying in. Out is very much unknown. Before the campaign I wasn't...

I have my doubts about Wasps not being involved with the pool at Higgs. Money seems to be going round in a circle through these organisations. Are Wasps putting up some money for the pool as they want to use it but keeping it out of their submission so they can say its not their fault CCFC lose...

And who gives an annual 6 figure grant to CSF every year?

I'm still on this

Well we have some idea. That gives us an idea and I'm sure Wasps would have been quick to mention it to the Telegraph if anything unreasonable had been asked for.

So your definition of the academy staying at Higgs is it moving off site and using the Ricoh? The same Ricoh we weren't allowed to stage a Jimmy Hill tribute game at as the pitch wouldn't be able to cope with the extra wear. Here's an idea, if there's other sites in the city that can be used...

Exactly, so if SISU decided to repay themselves by taking on external debt that wouldn't be a problem?

Conveniently it seems their suspended points deduction for actions at the last Euro's has just expired: http://www.kickitout.org/news/russia-dealt-suspended-points-deduction-and-fine-by-uefa/

Look at the plans, they're on the CCC website. We won't be able to run a Cat 2 academy from Higgs once Wasps plans are implemented.

You wouldn't care if the club was moved 85 miles away or loaded with tens of millions of debt to pay SISU back?

My hope was that when they left a new, and significantly better, owner would come in. However since the Ricoh was sold and now the academy is likely to go you are correct there is very little hope. We could get the greatest owners in the world but it has been made virtually impossible, unless...

How do others manage it then? And why enter into talks if you have no intention of concluding them? The legal action hasn't been some secret that's just been revealed.

This isn't the first time they've caused trouble either. Is their suspended points deduction still in place? You would think there would have to be serious talks around it not being in Russia. You got the violence we've seen, the actions of the sports minister and the racism and homophobia...

So you wouldn't moan if SISU moved us 85 miles as it would be financially advantageous? So you would be happy with SISU taking out tens of millions in debt against club assets to pay themselves back?

You're making the argument that it doesn't matter who a sponsor is, merely the fact that they are the highest bidder. You're also stated that morals or having a link to the organisation or event being sponsored don't come into it. So take that to its extreme conclusion and you would be...
