100% this. Its a CCFC forum, everyone on here is, or at least should be, a CCFC fan. The primary concern should be protecting the future of the club. Too many people suddenly appear when things like this happen and try and deflect any blame from the likes of Wasps, Higgs and CCC.

I was responding to a post saying younger fans wouldn't be able to buy tickets online. For anyone who can't use a computer they can phone up ticketmaster and do it that way. Or just pay on the gate.

Who sells out things like One Direction tours in seconds if kids aren't able to buy them? We're only moving to a system that the vast majority of events now use.

Exclusive use is probably either certain times of day or first option on times. So it could be used by others when not being used by the academy. That would make sense but its a long way from Wasps letting us hire it from them for a couple of hours at night.

It was a road subsiding wasn't it?

the rules state "shall be for the exclusive use of the Academy at all times" so I don't see how that can work.

Just a thought, what happened to Wasps buying the Severn Trent land? Isn't this all happening on Higgs land?

Do you know that for a fact? The plan on the CCC site only shows 1 pitch and shows that being changed to a rugby pitch with Wasps training centre being built in place of another pitch. So that's two gone. Wouldn't have thought existing pitches being changed from football to rugby would need to...

Also if Wasps are saying they will let us use their facility in the middle of the night to retain our cat 2 status doesn't that imply that the current facilities are going?

Depending on timescales could we knock something fairly brief up that shows the impact Wasps plans will have on those from the city. Hand them out at their games. Wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of their fanbase is oblivious to all this.

Seems to know all about it now, strange that he didn't a few hours ago.

Sounds a bit like 'Higgs share in the Ricoh is still available'. Basically what they're saying is we can rent it off them at night, how would that work? Clearly the academy need a facility to use in the day when they are actually training.

So where is the statement from CSF saying that the Higgs plans will not impact on the academy?

Was about to post the same thing!

I think once the players have the full kit and hopefully blue names and numbers on the back it will be enough blue.

100% agree with this. And as its out of season anyone who is doing this should write to Wasps and let them know.

Need to have a closer look at the plans and see what other facilities will be lost. Get people that use them onboard. Do Leicester, Northampton or Worcester rugby teams have a supporters club? Our trust could make contact and ask for their support as this no doubt means Wasps will be looking to...

That's a cracking idea. If you could get someone like Wilson to back it that could generate some press.
