I don't really see why we can't play 4 at the back with the players we have at the back. Its not like what we're doing is working. If 4 at the back is the plan going forward then just play it now with the players we have, at least the team will get used to playing that way.

Really? Odd then that I used to be so critical of SISU, and only SISU, that I got called things like council lover and even at one point accused of working for them. Looking at the available information and deciding it is not all the fault of one group does not me you are happy with one...

This post could be applied to a lot of things these days. If I'd ever been sent home from school for trying to get away with wearing the wrong thing I'd be in big trouble. These days you've got the parents having a go at the school and getting as much media attention as possible.

I must have missed the part where there was a property developer trying to buy the car parks at the Ricoh for a huge housing development that would mess up the clubs plans for expansion ;)

They definitely need to keep pushing. Think they also need to expand the questioning of SISU. Even if there is going to be a new stadium its not going to be in place by the time the existing deal runs out so they also need to be pushed on what contingency they have for that.

More than likely. The council should also be insured against that type of payout.

The fact they opened it would indicate it is available for use wouldn't it, and that is the point. If CSF aren't running the facility properly is not really a consideration in calculating the available usage. There's 5 pitches currently, Wasps have stated previously that they will be taking all...

This is more like it, shame this type of questioning didn't begin when Wasps were first mentioned. Says a lot if they will happily sanction the move but then take a head in the sand approach to the repercussions.

Millwall having their own council related problems. Their council approved, against huge opposition, a compulsory purchase order for part of the land where their stadium is. Won't impact the stadium itself but other facilities and Millwall's future plans will be out the window now. All so the...

He spoke about this on the radio. Said that when its Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday then you've only got time to prepare for the next match. I'm guessing the don't train the day after a game so they'd be off Sunday, in on a Monday doing prep for the Tuesday games, off Wednesday, in Thursday and...

What have SISU got to do with what Sport England have written? They were assessing against the E5 provision which is basically will what is planned provide a greater level of facilities for the public than what is current in place. Now its hard to check all the details as, despite Sport England...

Got sent this by a mate from a press release

we most certainly do

its massively behind schedule as they did the work with the wrong sort of concrete which started falling apart straight away. they couldn't work out how to fix it so they basically built it again around the original structure!

About to go out so will post more later but reading Sport Englands response they have clearly been fed a load of spin by CCC and Wasps and have taken it in hook line and sinker. They're allowing the plans to go through with a vague possibility of things happening and no assurances. Have a read...

To go back to the opening post I've said a few times that history will show the sale of the Ricoh to Wasps as the biggest single event leading to our demise. Today may not be far behind. Where do we go from here? Realistically we have no ground, and at best a crappy deal that prevents us being...

But when I look at it from that point of view I find it difficult to see how this meets any criteria. Higgs Centre was built on municipal land that only got the go ahead in the first place on the basis of it being a facility for the public. There seems to me to be a huge net loss in facilities...

Hang on, have they actually been given new information or have they just approved it anyway? Coincidence this is the day after the council agree to put £10m in?

Simple question for the SCG to ask, think they have a meeting tonight. When TF or CA refer to budget are the referencing the maximum theoretical spend or the real world amount and what, if anything, is the difference between the two.

And that's the problem, but for those at the very top there is no need for this facility. Are we applying this same thinking to other sports? If so we don't need to worry about Higgs as the council will already have plans underway to build us a Cat 1 academy just in case the next Messi happens...
