You make it known, through social media, local press etc, that CCFC fans are attending to show unity with CRFC so in that sense it is a protest. But once at the game there would be no disruption of any sort.
Thats what I thought we were talking about. And then hopefully some CRFC fans coming to one of our games. Show that the clubs that have been in the city over 100 years are united.
I don't think anyone is proposing to disrupt a CRFC game are they? Just to turn up in large numbers to add our support and make a point about the impact of Wasps arrival on the cities existing teams.
If the academy drops to Cat 3 you lose £250K in funding so if you want to continue to provide anything approaching the same level a further £250K a year has to be found to fund the academy. That is not money that is funding facilities, it's funding the day to day operation. If you don't find...
Should have checked the document before I posted! The £21m was used to repay the Prudential loan that was taken out to cover the shortfall in funding for the build. The fit out costs were on top of that and included in the amount ACL borrowed from Yorkshire Bank.
Still you would have thought...
Think the £21m was for the fit out once the build was complete. So they had the actual stadium but not in a useable condition. No idea why that wasn't in the budget in the first place, seems a big oversight.
If you could use the existing building it could probably be done relatively quickly and cheaply. If you've got to knock the building down and start again its a much bigger project.
Is it big enough to fit a pitch that meets the requirements in or would you need to knock the building down? Will have to take a closer look at what the other requirements are.
Might be worth a look then. Unless he's improved a fair bit I wouldn't have him first choice but I wouldn't be against TM bringing him in to pre-season training to take a look.
No idea what standard that is. He wasn't terrible but not what we need now I don't think, not if we're mounting a serious promotion push. Guess he could be a backup if the wages are low.
