Not a bad idea, nice 15K stadium for CRFC and we could still use it for reserve games and things like that. If it ended up working out like that would be a win all round.

Jones contract is the longest since David Bell! Who cares if everyone else does it, we haven't been doing it and it has been identified as an issue which has now been corrected. It has been stated this isn't a one off and will be the norm moving forward. Maddison was sold to balance the books...

Credit where its due, much more like it. Would also like to see a statement about the councils attempt to block a move to the Butts before its even started.

So what you're saying is the agreement that was made did not require SISU to pay the bill in the situation that unfolded. Higgs then took them to court to try to get them to pay it anyway but its still SISU who are in the wrong?

Everything has changed. The old deal doesn't exist, what we are on now is a completely new deal. And even back under the old deal I recall Fisher saying the price the hospitality was sold to CCFC at was so high it was impossible for the club to make a decent margin on it.

If Higgs hadn't taken SISU to court would there have been a counter claim? The simple fact is, that unlike all the other legal action, this wasn't initiated by SISU. It was initiated by Higgs and the court decided the case bought by Higgs was not valid.

He says the club doesn't receive any money from it. So whatever the price being charged that all goes to ACL.

Thats the problem. People say it would be too small but if the Ricoh isn't a viable option for us long term then what's the solution? Plenty of people have said they wouldn't step foot over the city boundary and CCC have stated there is nowhere within the boundary for a new stadium.

Don't think they could answer that question themselves! If we go down that road then we'd have, as one example, a massive shortage of doctors and nurses. And what would you do with the millions of Brits living abroad, presumably they'd all have to come back? I'm not a fan of the counter...

I think you build up a picture over time. The problem is that some people took a stance on day one and refuse to consider anything else no matter what happens. Personally I tend to default to believing people until it is proven otherwise. I believed Maton, Mutton and Lucas but then things...

There was someone the other day suggesting we merge with Cov United!

That's not the case at all. You look at everything and form an overall opinion. We have a manger in place in total control of the playing side. Players are being signed on longer term contracts. We are signing young players with an eye for the future. We have been told, and there is no evidence...

You would have thought those questions would have been asked and if there was no response then that be stated in the article.

Great idea. Only really know what they do from their twitter but they seem to do a lot of good work in the city.

My concern is that there are things that suggest the attitude of CCC towards CCFC predates SISU. I fear people are assuming that if SISU went everything would be OK, I'm not convinced that would be the case. Under the old deal (prior to Sixfields) matchday costs came to around £400K a season...

Of course but I think what he means is we wouldn't need to sell at the earliest opportunity to balance the books. It seems that there was a need to sell Maddison as we were losing money, said to be in a large part due to the uptake of season tickets / match packages which considerably lowered...

It wasn't a random tweet, it was quite a way in to a conversation regarding the council and Higgs treatment of the club. He said he looked at it yesterday to check what he was tweeting was correct.

Shame that got fixed :D

Didn't Higgs lose their claim?

I just don't understand why people blindly support the likes of the Telegraph and the council. I mean I can understand italia sticking up for Wasps as he has a vested financial interest and I can understand that council troll going for Kieran and supporting the Telegraph. But why would you...
