    Given that Wasps paid less than £6m you would have to say paying £27m would represent poor value.

    Come on, stop playing dumb. You both know perfectly well ACL wasn't marketed for sale. A throwaway sentence in a statement from Lucas is not the same as properly marketing something. If 100% of ACL was available with a 250 year lease that should have been placed on the open market. If for no...

    Finance Director Steve Brookfield

    Is it coincidence the finance director disappears at around the same time its revealed SISU have had to put more money in and the break even point wasn't calculated correctly in the budget?

    Academy future?

    We can if the facilities are going to be in place. We can't if they are going to be removed. At present as far as I am aware we have a rolling deal in place so I would expect anything such as redevelopment at Higgs to have been communicated to the club at the earliest opportunity. If it was a...

    Academy future?

    I would say it depends on the 3rd party in question and if that 3rd party is someone like CCFC then the council very much should be looking to ensure decisions they make don't have a negative impact. Of course. Just hope the club haven't had the rug pulled from under them and have been kept...

    Academy future?

    Well the are certainly going to build them and then build them again unless they are lying about Broad Street being temporary. No one is saying its to get one over on CCFC - you've just made that up yourself. Look at what we know, Wasps have yet to reveal the location of their permanent...

    Swindon Match Thread

    Not at all confident about this one. At best a scrappy 1-0 win.

    We know you prefer Wasps and CCC to benefit rather than CCFC but for most of us the football club is the priority.

    Academy future?

    More to do with the fact that people claim to know for a fact that Wasps have purchased land on the boundary of Higgs. Along with the previous rumours that Wasps would be moving into Higgs causing our academy to be thrown out I think it is a valid concern. And the Broad Street commitment is...

    More from Anderson

    What he's saying is that all options are open and ownership is not an overriding factor. Isn't that what we've all been asking for? Lets look at all the options and decide the best way forward based on the facts available. Not saying he will follow through but I much prefer the conciliatory...

    Academy future?

    I love how this is already being spun as totally the fault of CCFC. For all we know the first they knew of this was when it was in the CT. From what we are told they have a rolling deal, did Higgs give the courtesy of informing them of any potential removal of an essential facility. The...

    The guy seems to talk sense. Now we just have to wait and see if he comes good on what he has been saying.

    Why We Love Football ?

    I remember watching some American sports show during the last World Cup and they were saying the diving etc had a big impact on the sport over there as viewers just couldn't get their head round it. I watch a lot of ice hockey and in that getting a reputation for being a diver is a terrible...

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    I did wonder that when there was all the complaints when they first said they were shutting it. Never really found an answer. Can't see that it makes a huge difference, not like they could never practice in a 50m pool if they travelled.

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    In more good news for us according to the CT Higgs Trust have offloaded the Higgs Centre to the Coventry & Warwickshire Award Trust. They are planning to put a 50m pool in to replace the one in the city centre that is closing. The pool could be where the indoor pitch is, without that we lose...

    Walking Dead Season 6

    They seem to cherry pick bits out of the comic rather than sticking too it religiously. I'm with Nick, someone kill Carl. Reckon Rick and Daryl are safe - they wouldn't risk killing either of them off. Anyone else is up for grabs, for it to really have any value its got to be Maggie, Glen or...

    So long as we don't end up with nobody as he's left Haynes at Cambridge and can't get anyone suitable in.
