I found the reaction all round, (trust, local media, supporters etc) infuriating. I can't imagine any other fanbase doing so little. If you look at the views of supporters of other football and rugby clubs they expect our fans to be up in arms and the local population to boycott Wasps. The fact...

You can't really answer this question without speaking to their legal team. On the face of it, from what is publicly known, they should stop straight away. But despite how it often appears they aren't totally incompetent idiots (except when running a football club!) and they must have some...

Given CCC have said there is no possibility of a new stadium within the city boundary are you happy for the club to move outside the city?

Away allocation can be as low as 10% so you'd be looking at 13,500 home in a 15K stadium. Certainly enough for us at present. If the capacity was increased to 25K the home allocation would only be 3,500 lower than the Ricoh.

Wonder if they are actually spending much. If they have an in-house legal team or counsel on retainer it might not be costing them all that much. Personally think there's zero chance that the playing budget would increase without legal action.

Also worth noting that in cases involving UK public bodies that reach the EU 80% of rulings go against the public bodies.

I'm pretty sure thats not right otherwise there would be absolute chaos as you'd have to undo every case involving a UK citizen or organisation that had been decided in the European Court. Also worth noting that a no vote doesn't mean we are out the next day! We will remain in the EU for an...

They can't think they're going to just pressure the council out so why keep going? Unless they think they can win it what do they stand to gain?

Didn't they ask for people to put themselves forward a while back as some of the current board were looking to stand down? Have a vague memory of that and nobody putting themselves forward.

That's what was happening. SISU were paying their costs and Higgs were paying theirs. Then Higgs decided to take SISU to court to get them to pay Higgs costs as well.

That's the key, the law is applied as it was at the time of the 'offence' not as it is now. Of course if we had a spectacular fall out with Europe off the back of a no vote I suppose we could fail to recognise the European Court anymore but there is zero chance of that happening.

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...
