I can’t work out if people genuinely don’t get it or are just playing dumb, it seems very simple to me. Lets compare the two situations. CCFC moved 35 miles to Northampton. It was a temporary move, said to be for a maximum of 5 years, as the clubs owners claimed they had no other option. Fans...

All we need is a Russian billionaire and we're sorted!

Has he done a John Terry and got his full kit on?

They had 2K on their protest march and I'd guess in the low hundreds for the on the pitch protest. We had 8K, or more depending which estimate you go on, on our protest. Which one do you think will get more coverage? Its not always the case that you're expecting the protest to have the direct...

The health and safety zone isn't a club decision so either the club are lying about it, wouldn't be the first time, or the blame lies elsewhere. Maybe something for the local media to follow up and ask the H&S people why it is not a problem at every other ground in the country but is a problem...

I think just football tickets and they added the Olympics when they were here. The get out is that you can resell them with the clubs permission so some of the big clubs have deals with the secondary sites and get a cut on the resold tickets. Bands do the same thing, in fact a good chunk of...

Isnt it actually illegal to resell football tickets? Think it is but a blind eye is generally the rule if it's supporters getting shot of spares at face value.

It doesn't really matter what the company structure was before does it? It matters what it is now as you're trying to raise £35m against it even though when you purchased it you didn't seem to think it was even worth £6m. The fact remains that the setup is designed to allow you to screw over...

So you're admitting Wasps have set up non-trading company to hold the only asset of value so that in the event of problems you can further screw everyone by selling to anyone who happens to flash a bit of cash. Sounds very similar to the setup SISU had and were universally criticised for. Nice...

If you ever wonder why Pompey got in such a mess they will still flying to games and staying in 4 and 5 star hotels after they'd been relegated to L2!

We're allowed to paint the smaller changing room they moved us in to blue. There was a quote before, think it may have been Mowbray, that very pointedly said we could only put CCFC things in the CCFC changing room. This is where Wasps really take the piss and are totally disrespectful to CCFC...

Wasn't it the Mail that said last week he was leaving?

Or they could have donated the cost of buying the wigs and still have a collection for charity.

Could well be but would the charities commission not be slightly concerned at a charity selling a 50% share in an asset valued at £48.5m for less than £3m?

Oddly can't seem to spot the front page story about the Crawley game selling out.

That'll be the new excuse next season. I'm not going again until I can sit facing south again.

The next thing will be to decrease the number of blocks open. They need to keep both stands open as one side is all corporate and one side all fans. Not too hard to imagine this time next season we're talking about less blocks being available in the future.

Which again raises questions for CCC and Higgs to answer. Why did they sell it for that price if its market value is over £40m as is now being claimed. Even if Wasps add value, which is debateable they certainly won't add that much value.

I'm not convinced the valuation in the prospectus stands up to any scrutiny anyway. Given that they just purchased ACL and the lease extension for under £7m I'm struggling to see how its now worth enough to provide £35m security, let alone the amount they claim it has been valued at.

Even if its paid upfront it would be unusual for ownership to be able to change without the permission of the freeholder and for it to fall into the hands of an administrator rather than revert to the freeholder in the event of an insolvency event.
