    Have I missed an academy update?

    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.

    Have I missed an academy update?

    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...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    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...

    Council request for ‘help’ to ‘justify’ Wasps move into Coventry City academy

    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!

    Council request for ‘help’ to ‘justify’ Wasps move into Coventry City academy

    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...

    Trident

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

    Trident

    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...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    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...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    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.

    I notice you didn't ask him why I was the only person that didn't get sent a car sticker :D

    Ellipt ward

    Not seen him play for years but I would say no unless he's got a lot better than when he was here before.

    Have I missed an academy update?

    Excellent news indeed, one less thing to worry about. Hopefully there's not a sting in the tail :wacky: Was on twitter. CJ was tweeting, as he always does for those who can't attend, from the SBT meeting. Said SBT had met with Wasps and CSF. I asked if they had answered the question about if we...

    Maybe if we weren't paying Wasps they wouldn't have £100K to give their community team and we'd be able to afford to give £100K to ours.

    Have I missed an academy update?

    Not had much time to come on here for the last couple of weeks as I've been busy moving back to Cov. Thought I'd caught up but following the SBT meetings tonight on twitter it sounds as if the issues with the academy are sorted but I can't see any reference to it on the Telegraph or Observer...

    I bet all the kids checked to see where the funding was coming from before they accepted a Wasps flag :facepalm:

    Trident

    Waste of money IMO. The cold war era has gone. The enemy know is the likes of ISIS and having nukes is zero deterrent to them. How can we go to war with Iraq claiming (falsely) its because they have weapons of mass destruction, and go around telling other countries they shouldn't have nuclear...

    Adam Armstrong

    Saw this blow up on twitter, is that the original source? Suspect if he is loaned out he would be quite happy to come back here so hopefully TM is staying in touch with Newcastle.

    Chris McCann Signing Number 3.....

    Looks a good signing. Wonder if he plans to get a replacement in the Jan windows or things one of our younger players will step up.
