it seems fashionable to have a club captain and then another captain in actual games, could be that kind of set up.

Have they run out of money already?

Can't be any worse than being owned by SISU!

I suppose it could just be that as the football club is more establish and has more data available to them their approach is more targeted. Or it could just be that their marketing isn't up to much! Maybe the trust or SCG could look into doing something for the old folks, its a great idea and...

Interesting, never knew that. Always thought the councils role was to be independent and apply the planning regulations with impartiality. Of course I would expect them to give advise where appropriate but giving advice is a long way from talking about managing the PR and how the planning...

Agreed, said similar earlier. Lets get a statement from the trust saying what they have been told by Wasps & CSF, then a statement from Wasps & CSF confirming it is correct. Tend to agree with you, hence why I would like some public statements issued to get everything clarified. Otherwise it...

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it! I have concerns that the trust are being played a little here. We've had Wasps saying the two can't co-exist at Higgs, CSF breaking off talks with Anderson and the chap who manages CSF saying in the Telegraph there wouldn't be the facilities required...

Hopefully there will be another article in the CT shortly with a response from Wasps and CSF confirming the availability of the required facilities to enable the academy to continue.

That's what we've always heard. That planning is dependent on the rules and the council have no influence. At least that's what we get told when there is any suggestion the council could make the process difficult for CCFC.

It does but if that is the case why be so secretive about it and why did CSF suddenly stop talking to the club right before Wasps application was fired in. Wasps even stated in the Telegraph that they didn't think it would be possible for the two to co-exist.

This is what concerns me. That reads as if the netball facilities are going, not to be replaced. And our academy can stay until the end of our current agreement. Doesn't address the issue of facilities being lost and certainly doesn't tie up with what the Trust have been told. If what the Trust...

Why is it the responsibility of a council employee to justify Wasps proposal and the potential removal of the football clubs academy facility. Strikes me as odd, especially when combined with the other mail from the council about managing the PR. I certainly hope what is being fed to the Trust...

Compare the response from the council here to the councils response when the news of a potential ground share at the Butts came out, and that hadn't even got close to the planning stage!

Can't see any commercial reason for Wasps refusing to say where sites they decided not to pursue are located. It says it would adversely impact Wasps moving forward, not sure how if they're going with AHC. Interestingly the earlier emails refer to Wasps using land adjacent to AHC, presumably...

Same time and place next week for a Armstrong might return article?

Thought that last night during the debate. The pro-nuclear speakers sounded very similar to gun lobbyists in the US after a shooting.

We are members of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. In fact very few countries aren't (Israel, Pakistan, North Korea, South Sudan and India). The stated aim of the treaty is nuclear disarmament. At present only the US, Russia, China, France and the UK officially have...

The clubs PR is not brilliant, I can't see how anyone can say differently. However to try and pick apart the differences between CCFC and SBITC compared to Wasps and their charity arm just seems to be searching for a stick to beat the club with. The issue for CCFC is what can they do with a...

That's what I took from CJs tweets last night: "Its pretty much what we get now. In some cases it's more than before" "the key point is it can continue there. In better facilities than it has currently and for less money" "At the new facility all parts of the academy can be based there and in...

Well the key is that the question has been answered. Now we've had a positive answer that the academy can stay at Higgs then we need Anderson to get cracking sorting a long term deal and Wasps / CSF to publicly confirm what the trust have been told is correct.
