I question why it is that Wasps can form a good relationship with CCC, present a business plan, sell tickets, get a lot of season tickets holders on a sight seeing trip to the Ricoh in advance etc. etc. - all in a short period of time, and get the stadium lease extended sixfold - and SISU...

Show me the quote. Or have you just made that up to score points?

oh really Grendel...... Are you saying CCC are only thinking of twats like me? They do not sell freeholds usually. Nothing to do with twats like me, more to do with stopping twats like SISU doing stupid things for short term gain. I am surprised that twats like you don't realise this.

if it is written into it. We don't know if it is, but if CCC weren't bothered what happens, then why not sell the unencumbered freehold?

you have a point. Ours don't know how to run a football club ( in that respect they are hapless ), but maybe they are successful in other fields.

To be fair to hedge funds, not all are so hapless as ours.

Freehold means freehold. A contract on the freehold is a lease.

Meet you in 200 years to see how it effects CCFC.

Whichever school playing fields we would build on, I think it would be the end of the road. That people even consider CCFC may be involved shows how far down we have come. Any news on the stadium from Tim?

The point of having the lease, is that you can write into it what they can or cannot do. Joy wanted an "unencumbered" freehold which would allow her to do exactly what she wanted. Hence the lease.

They can't as they don't own the freehold - which Joy wanted.

And the team get undressed at every available opportunity, sing lewd songs, run up and down the street naked with the cup on their head ( assuming they won a cup ), let people throw ice down their trousers, drink a pitcher in 7 seconds ( never works ).... to mention a few things "my" ( I sponsor...

If we knew, she knew and lots of others knew, then presumably SISU knew. What have SISU said in the meantime? We are building a stadium and are continuing with the JR. So, they, by their inaction, implied that they werdn' too bothered.

I am selfish. I want CCFC to come out of this hole. Let the Wasps fans decide if the move is a good one. It is rely ( really ) their problem and we have more to worry about than their future. City fans decided that messing around in Northampton was a bad one and showed it. Let's see what the...

shock, collapse, faint.........

Did I say that? I said I won't slag off the new leaseholders yet - because although I said that the council did get rid of a dodgy tenant, it could well end up that the new leaseholders prove to be dodgy as well. In 4 or 5 years time ( assuming the stadium ever takes place ) it could well be...

That's what I meant. I think they could insist that Higgs extend the deadline before taking it further though. We don't know the füll facts and Les Reid is not always correct.

Maybe SISU will claim that their bid was hampered by Higgs and sue them for damages?

Court case brewing?

My concern with Wasps was that it was an obvious consequence of SISU messing around. Whether it is Wasps or another "Franchise" doesn't matter. It was clear that at some time a new tenant would have to be found - even the judge at the JR said that. So have fun with your new stadium. Enjoy the...
