Also if Wasps are saying they will let us use their facility in the middle of the night to retain our cat 2 status doesn't that imply that the current facilities are going?

Depending on timescales could we knock something fairly brief up that shows the impact Wasps plans will have on those from the city. Hand them out at their games. Wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of their fanbase is oblivious to all this.

Seems to know all about it now, strange that he didn't a few hours ago.

Sounds a bit like 'Higgs share in the Ricoh is still available'. Basically what they're saying is we can rent it off them at night, how would that work? Clearly the academy need a facility to use in the day when they are actually training.

So where is the statement from CSF saying that the Higgs plans will not impact on the academy?

Was about to post the same thing!

I think once the players have the full kit and hopefully blue names and numbers on the back it will be enough blue.

100% agree with this. And as its out of season anyone who is doing this should write to Wasps and let them know.

Need to have a closer look at the plans and see what other facilities will be lost. Get people that use them onboard. Do Leicester, Northampton or Worcester rugby teams have a supporters club? Our trust could make contact and ask for their support as this no doubt means Wasps will be looking to...

That's a cracking idea. If you could get someone like Wilson to back it that could generate some press.

And its an exclusive!

Correct. Why people are more concerned with having a go at SISU than the club losing its academy is beyond me.

He'd probably speak to both managers to see what his role was going to be. If one was significantly better than the other he'd take that, for example if one said he was a key part of plans and would start most games. All things being equal I suspect he might pick Cov if its only a slight wage...

But it is usual for your landlord to let you know what is going on. My lease ended last month, my landlord wouldn't have been happy if I'd just packed my stuff up and moved out without telling him.

I posted the planning link on my twitter and I've already got 3 people having a go at me for objecting to our academy being closed!

The FA promote grass roots football don't they. As well as losing the academy local facilities would be lost so that angle could be tried as well. Get anyone who uses the Higgs to raise objections.

Definitely. When you speak to people outside the city they are amazed at the way they have been allowed to walk in with so little resistance. That needs to stop now.

Good idea. Get on to councillors as well. Someone that knows planning regs inside and out needs to look over this with a fine tooth comb and advise on what objections can be raised by local residents. Then get as many lodged as possible.

Think 13 products of the academy played last season. That's a lot of players to replace if we don't continue to produce our own.
