    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    If it's not up-to-date, then by definition it's not current. ;)

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Where's the evidence that SISU will leave after JR2 and Ryton are sold? Are you sure that you're not playing your own little internal charade here John? Even then JR2 could take years. I suspect that you've become so obsessed with 'beating' SISU that you'd be happy for that to happen. And...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Isn't the point here that it would be a lot easier to do if all parties were on board, including by definition the council? You've accepted now that they've tried to block a possible move to the Butts already, I think. Unless you're a bit daft, and I don't think you are, I think you'd also...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Sounds like you'd kill the patient to cure the disease. You've realised that SISU aren't going anywhere at the moment, right?

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    If that's the attitude then it's also not rocket science to suggest that you're facing the real possibility of the club leaving the town, tumbling further into the abyss or folding entirely - perhaps all three! Maybe that's OK for you if it's the price of getting rid of SISU. but I'd rather find...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    What strikes me also, is that this seems like a circular argument. If Wasps become insolvent, then a key part of the asset value is supposedly that of the Ricoh lease. But what is the value of the Ricoh lease without Wasps playing there - surely it must be substantially impacted? It could be...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    The condition about not playing professional football at the BPA? That has never been in place - the council tried to get it added when discussions about a ground share with CCFC became known. This is a matter of public record, SBT. EXCLUSIVE: This leaked email reveals council bid to block...

    Mediation talks underway

    That's a good post shmmeee. Personally I'm not asking for the Council to do another Ricoh in terms of putting public money in, I'm just asking them to support us finding somewhere else within the city given that the Ricoh is looking less and less like an option. At the moment everything the...

    Have you ever heard of a man named Pavlov? ;)

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    It's OK, that's the Nuneaton line to the Ricoh. It's not like there's more than one train a day anyway. I'm sure they won't mind waiting whilst the opposition take their corners (and subsequently celebrate their goals), for our side it's obviously academic. :)

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    We should just submit the application as Wasps. It'll get waved straight through then... ;)

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    No - the JR2 sits entirely separate to this. The council couldn't be seen to deny PP just because SISU are taking them to court. They could make it much harder though, I'm sure.

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    My cynicism regarding the planning process is unbounded (with apologies to those who work in the field). It always seems to me that the odds are stacked heavily in the developer's favour - given I quite like the idea of a stadium at the Butts, perhaps, for once, that's to our advantage...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    CRFC have had a couple of good players from Wasps this season, but as a fan of Cov I don't think it's critical to them. In truth there's no guarantee it wouldn't continue in any case; the loan arrangements generally suit both clubs and regardless, there's more than one Premiership team that Cov...

    Mediation talks underway

    Selling to Wasps was patently not in the best interests of the club - look at where we are now. It's not just SISU who can't be trusted.

    Mediation talks underway

    What does posting this kind of tripe achieve? Tim doesn't have any fan boys. There aren't any SISU apologists here either. No one is having kittens but there are a few single-celled organisms having minor spasms, clearly. It's sounds a bit like the meeting last night. It's not a...

    Mediation talks underway

    I don't recall the council ever offering or suggesting an alternative site to the Ricoh either SBT, so politely, I think you're mistaken. I can't see any issue with drawing all of the sides together to talk - that has to be a step forward. If it's SISU bullshit, and it may well be, then the...

    Mediation talks underway

    SISU mouth piece? Hello pot, kettle here! This is a bit rich from someone who benefits financially from Wasps and then posts on a daily basis that the Wasps/Ricoh option is the only option. So I'd take a long, hard look at yourself before trying to accuse someone else of being a mouthpiece...

    Is it too early to say Port Vale is a must win?

    Give 'em a chance mate, maybe we can beat the record next season. ;)
