It's an out of town site in another councils borough or nothing.
No future whatsoever at the Ricoh, may get 5% more pie money but what future is that.

Starting to hate the Ricoh , bloody soulless bowl. Build a German style stadium with stands close and steep by the pitch side.
SISU continue with your JR's , engage with another council and get the investors to put their money on the table and build the fucking thing out of the reach of the worst council in Britain and their insect bum chums

Must have been one of the many councils that they were talking to or the environment agency or the highways agency that blocked it. Did the FOI's all confirm these talks? No, I didn't think so.

Dave. You seem like an intelligent bloke, do you really buy all this nonsense?

I didn't but over time I start to wonder if there's more to it as more things get revealed. I don't really see what Kieran has to gain tweeting things that aren't true when he doesn't even work at the club anymore.

An out of town a stadium with a combined first team/academy facility it is then...........
Click to expand...

Given that SISU are unlikely to invest the amount required to build a stadium from scratch, is anyone concerned they'll try to move the club to the vacant Nene Park? I think there are some sort of Academy facilities there, but obviously not Cat 2 standard. The FL might "reluctantly make an exception" to their rules and approve it. Nothing would surprise me anymore.

The squeeze is well and truly in, been said before that every base, turn or twist Sisu make is covered. Decision is to move out the city, build out the city or sell. Build is unlikely, move,if Sisu want to carry on owning the club this is the only option and did not go well before. Lastly sell, to who? if this is the plan then my guess is a few select already know.

So not shocked, surprised by latest news all part of the play that in my mind is coming to the final curtain close.

Its largely irrelevant if any of us thought it was going to happen. The fact is CRFC and CCFC have been in talks and already there has been two attempts, both connected to the council, to block the project before it even gets off the ground.

As a CCFC supporter doesn't that worry you? Seems to me that whatever plan is put forward by the club the council will do their best to ensure it does't happen.

is that an assumption?

That's the way I see it, looks like a concerted effort to force them out, let's hope it works.
Whatever the outcome it ain't gonna be pretty.

A spokesman for Sisu said: "Any potential ground share at Butts Park, and any continuation of the Club’s academy at the Higgs Centre, are both CCFC challenges."

I.e We don't care, don't bother us again.

All this damage that people are now purposely inflicting on the club is designed to get SISU to comply to what they want, its falling on deaf ears as SISU's response is basically do what you want we don't give a fuck.
