    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    That worked well the last time they tried it. We ended up in Northampton with a huge points deduction.

    Academy Protest Idea's

    CSF are a charity, wonder if there is any mileage in the trust opening dialogue with the Charity Commission? There's an argument to be made that the course of action CSF is pursuing is at odds with their charitable aims.

    Academy Protest Idea's

    I'd like a meeting with Anderson, Breed and Duggins all at the same time. Would cut out some of the back and forth and contradictory statements. If one side claims something the other side will be sat there to either confirm or dispute it.

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    I'm guessing something that was sent in by CSF rather than a two way conversation as the obvious response if it was Reid / Gilbert actually talking to them would be to question why they are referencing statements made years ago but making no mention of the more recent dialogue with Anderson...

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    You've missed off a key part of that quote. Where he's saying part of the long term vision for the centre he's distinguishing between the centre itself and the academy based there. The suggestion being that the club allows its resources to be used for the benefit of the community in line with...

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    Think its very telling that the response from CSF makes absolutely no mention of any possibility of the academy remaining at Higgs. Said earlier in the thread who cares what happened last March. Since Anderson has been here, which was prior to CSF taking ownership of the centre, the message has...

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    Aren't they all connected though? Higgs, CSF and CCC all work together. Wasps are also involved with all three.

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    This isn't two blokes down the pub having an argument down the pub and refusing to speak to them. It should be possible for them to deal with each other even with a background of legal action. Happens all the time in business, apple have been taking samsung to court since 2011 yet samsung are...

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    Hopefully the trust are on the case with that. Although the Telegraph seem to be able to get a quick response from CSF generally so maybe they can get them on the phone and ask some questions.

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    Anderson was appointed in November wasn't he? News about a 50m pool at Higgs broke in March so I'd guess you'd be looking at that timeframe.

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    The Reid article says CSF have made no contact with the club to say they will be unable to continue using the centre. In fact the opposite is the case, Anderson says they were previously talking about a long term deal. That being the case its not surprising they weren't aware. Common courtesy...

    CA: Lease Extension At Higgs Ignored

    Once again this thread shows that people are more concerned about finger pointing than the immediate danger to the club's academy. Who cares how he contacted them. The important point here he has now made it very clear he has contacted them and wants to extend the lease. So either CSF are...

    Mowbrey and Venus

    Quite a few people apologised didn't they?

    New kit??

    That would be a great way to announce a new signing. Just release a picture of a new player wearing the kit.

    New piece up on the Observer. Some worrying quotes in there:

    Trust statement regarding the AHC

    I wasn't doing a full financial analysis. Just saying its not a cut and dried financial argument. Based on the lifespan of the current pool we're looking at the next 50 years. I'm not sure over that length of time replacing the current pool with two new facilities is not going to cost more. A...

    Where does everyone see CCFC .............

    Pretty simple really. At the moment we have no ownership stake in any stadium. That means we are at the mercy of others, currently Wasps. There's nothing to stop them, believing they have a monopoly on a facility we require, to put the price back up to £1.2m or more. If we go in with CRFC on a...

    SISU/ARVO appeal turned down

    Have I just walked through the cupboard in 11.22.63? Why are we going over this again?

    Captain next season

    If we do manage to sign Turner, as some think we will, I'd give him the armband. Out of those that are still here there's not an obvious option. Wonder if Fleck would be more likely to stay if it was offered to him? I'd make RCC vice captain. Apparently he goes around the training ground...
