They clearly said that they are taking Tim's New stadium at face value. CCFC are leaving in just under 4 years, so WTF.

If we were gifted a stadium tomorrow, we would mortgage it to the hilt and buy players in an attempt to get out league 1. By this time next year we would be struggling to meet the mortgage payments - assuming we missed out on promotion. Knowing us, we would do that.

Sorry, don't agree ( about planning ). I don't know the füll story behind Leicester, but I know that whatever happens, it wouldn't be easy in Cov. Firstly there aren't that many sites of the size SISU wants and then, apart from CCC, there are the residents who would prolong any application. I...

Why are the council going to look difficult? If they give CCFC precedence over more pressing projects they will get more problems. The Days of the council putting their necks at risk to bend the rules in favour of a football club are long gone. Any planning application will be judged on its...

How do you know where the stadium's likely to be be built? Please Tell.

If that was the only alternative, then yes I would have to support it. I think that it isn't the only alternative at the moment. It's up to SISU to do some sort of a deal with Wasps. Being involved in some way at the Ricoh is the easiest way forward ( it won't be easy either though - if you get...

1. It's not Wasps fault that they are here and it is not necessarily a bad thing long term - with the proviso that we at some time in the future belong to the same group. Sharing the stadium will bring financial benefits. At the moment to Wasps, but I sincerely hope that we will join their group...

yep. up shit creek and dependant on Wasps - and our relationship to them....

True, although the council is secondary. The owners are primarily responsible for our demise. The present owners have had 7 years to stop the slide. They haven't- they have increased the Speed of our decline and should be pilloried for this.

I have never Met Lucas, but I have had dealings with Mutton. He seemed passionate about CCFC and had no reason to put on an act about that in our conversation. So, I would say that it is an incredible achievement by SISU ( in the negative Sense ) to turn the council into supporters of a Wycombe...

Some of them say they do love CCFC E.g. Mutton and Lucas ( both council leaders ) and we are still fucked. Leads me to think that the owners may have more to do with our demise than ex landlords.

Have SISU ever said that they would have?

It is very worrying. If they have Cash flow plus, they could plod along a bit longer. I would rather they throw the towel in sooner. But the end of the agreement ( if they get that far ) will be the decider- they won't have a stadium and Wasps have the keys to the Ricoh.

I don't think the council will be the main problem in Cov. There has to be an inquiry and there will be objections from the residents wherever you want to build it. You may need government approval - as with the Ricoh. There would have to be planning for roads and maybe bus routes. I can't see...

I think they have tried to find a site - to cover themselves for what's happening now. Cov is out of the question for lots of reasons - as is green belt. It's not going to happen. We should be "embedding" ourselves with Wasps. They need us to an extent and we have to get a good deal for the time...

Was there mention of conference space when they showed us their picture? They mentioned a modular system for the stadium - sounds cheap. Where is the stadium to be? No-one wants a conference in the sticks - unless it is in a beautiful setting. Retail park or housing area? Not beautiful. I don't...

Yes, but they can share the costs - more money over for FFP. Idea being get them to cover as much as possible freeing money for CCFC - as they are doing with us now.

I hope it would be drinks all round in the Newlands first... And then buy or invest in MGI. Having done that then run the club as a sporting business with the priority as achieving sporting success. Form a joint company with Wasps to take care of the stadium and facilities, and another to take...

Well they don't have to own it. But as you say ( and everyone else ) we need to move forward. What's the latest on the stadium?

I don't overestimate it, but I think we should be working at getting him on our side and the Wasps fans - who may have influence with him. Our (SISU) mistake last time was the relationship with the landlords. If we slate them and say we hate them, they are hardly going to put a good word in for...
