Really? I can seperate sisu and the club. Ie if the council had let the club have the ricoh and not sisu etc.Nick, its not that Wasps or anyone else doesn't want the club there, they will oblige for the club but only after they reach the other goal in this process, they have said they want CCFC at the Academy and Ricoh. The truth is they don't want Sisu near anything, so the play on words is being well and truly used and has been by all parties for a certain agenda. We as fans do not split the 2 in regards to owners and Club we say us, but all other parties have no problem in doing so as they will pick up what is left when or if Sisu leave.
Time is on Wasps and partners side now, Sisu are on a timer that is running fast, the other party knows this so bluff, comments or courts will not help Sisu now, delaying anything for them is dangerous. I don't like this Nick, i don't enjoy this but its why all the excuses are coming out about why not to talk instead of solutions to talk. Very important to remember in this situation of stalemate!! who does talks and agreed contracts of time benefit, if getting sisu out is the plan? it certainly isn't those who are putting the squeeze on....
My opinion by the way, i have no inside information, just a feeling on how things are playing out, so i don't mind if i get ridiculed or pulled up for the above.
Who has said that they will move us there?I honestly don't think the owners want an academy. Yes it may get them a few pounds every so many years through selling talent but I don't think they're interested. I have heard a rumour that sisu are looking at taking the club out of Coventry to either Rushden or Worcester, if they don't get what they want. This was mentioned at the scg meeting. Words to the effect of "if fans keep pushing for the owners to leave, they may get what they wish for"
Put a planning proposal in at the Higgs ?
I personally think they aren't prepared to put their OWN money in. So utilise other peoples.
That's what I.don't getWhat for a purpose built facility that is already built???

Perhaps for fear of losing money if they are not successful?
What the fuck do we want a kicking barn for?? We want to keep the ball below the bar.Nothing to stop us putting in our own kicking barn and moving the first team down there perhaps as well..
Why would we need a kicking barn?Nothing to stop us putting in our own kicking barn and moving the first team down there perhaps as well..

Sounds awfully similar to a hedge fund owned franchise club from down London way...
Why would we need a kicking barn?
there is one there?For those that play silly, for kicking barn read indoor pitch.
I have no idea why you think Wasps should look after the interests of another business. CCFC is nothing to do with them - it is owned by some uber capitalists who dont have a clue how to run the business they are in. I have no idea what Fisher and Anderson do to earn their money do you? The general idea in business is that you improve and grow it - any twat can cut costs and shrink a business. Apparently everything is always someone else's fault - so what are they responsible for and what is their ultimate objective?You are right it is the same, wasps don't want us there either so will sack us off and twist the blame...
there is one there?
Can we just make life for wasps unbearable?
How can sisu/ccfc put in a similar proposal for the higgs site when higgs have already agreed to let the land to wasps and there is legals that say the club can't have an agreement for longer than 7 years?That we rent on a 3 month rolling basis. Hardly a CCFC asset.
Unless you own something you will always be at the will of others.
If they were serious a similar proposal to Wasps would be an option. But I think Sisu want everything but pay nothing.
That would work, unlike SISU they seem to be bothered by it!
Not really, they have made a planning application to build something. We're still waiting on an exciting announcement in 3 week's on development's from 3 year's ago.
It's an application to rip up the site of the CCFC academy and replace it with a facility for Wasps. It's not even been approved and Wasps are probably out picking curtains for the offices. It is an utter stitch up.
We want the club to commit long term to Higgs - the same Higgs that put a clause in a contract stopping the club signing a long term deal.
We all know that the new stadium idea was not likely to occur on SISU's watch - even though we probably need it.
That does not excuse the deplorable actions of Higgs/CCC and CSF here.
A lot of people made a lot of noise on here about fighting this move... And it's just turned into an apathetic acceptance - why is that??
Is it all because Anderson wanted some information in a letter??
It's embarrassing.
Yeah, it was a bit weird how they were giving statements about it the day the actual plans got submitted. Stating whether they can help or not.
You are right, there was uproar when the news first came out. The trust were wound up, I got the impression they were going to go all out on everybody . People were asking others to Boycott Wasps.
They put a statement out saying "Look at SISU" and then it all goes dead.
New swimming pool announced for the city centre new union street, so wasps don't need to fund one for the council at AHC
It was on the radio on the way home from workHas that happened or just an idea?
Without a pool maybe the site could house both...It was on the radio on the way home from work
What's Joy's and Dermots personal wealth like?Perhaps for fear of losing money if they are not successful?

Somewhere that hasn't been mentioned yet is the Coventry University sports pitches at Westwood Heath.
There are 3 or 4 full sized grass football pitches and another astroturf style one. There are also several grass hockey pitches (so potential room for more football pitches to be marked out).
The place is now marketed by the university as a conference centre, so there are meeting rooms etc too.
Coventry University used to have a good relationship with the football club (it used to sponsor a game every season and the Vice Chancellor used to be a frequent visitor to Highfield Road),
Perhaps the club could work something out with the university?
Really? I can seperate sisu and the club. Ie if the council had let the club have the ricoh and not sisu etc.
I don't care if the sisu offices get blown up tomorrow, I don't care if they go bust and all end up on the streets in cardboard boxes.
It is still a possibly they know somebody else who they want to own ccfc...
