So where is the statement from CSF saying that the Higgs plans will not impact on the academy?
Paul Breed, chief executive of Coventry Sports Foundation which runs the Alan Higgs Centre, said: “We are delighted to be the leading potential site for Wasps’ new training base and will work with them in any way we can to help make this happen.
Could you dream of him saying this about the football club
Wasps have now offered to rent us usage of there planned indoor kicking area for 3 hours a night at a 'generous' ratewhere does it say they offer to help?
Its a done deal, if you ever needed proof then here it is.How can they offer to help when it hasn't gone through?
More PR shit.

There you go Italia, absolutely no chance the indoor footy area will be kept when the swimming pool is built.
Mr Breed "probably not", I would say definitely not.

And he's also admitted the plan was to kick ccfc out for Wasps to take over on the basis that we said about 18 months ago we were moving our academy out.
Exactly, they will be played as heroes. It makes me sick.
Sounds a bit like 'Higgs share in the Ricoh is still available'. Basically what they're saying is we can rent it off them at night, how would that work? Clearly the academy need a facility to use in the day when they are actually training.Wasps offer to help Coventry City keep Academy at Alan Higgs Centre
Seems to know all about it now, strange that he didn't a few hours ago.Paul Breed, chief executive of Coventry Sports Foundation which runs the Alan Higgs Centre, said: “We are delighted to be the leading potential site for Wasps’ new training base and will work with them in any way we can to help make this happen.

Could the planned 50-metre swimming pool for the Higgs be built and the existing indoor pitch retained?
“Probably not.”
Its a separate application from the Wasps training centre.
17:28 todayHe wont get called out on it though.
20:05 todayDo you believe plans for Wasps to build training facilities next to the Higgs Centre will impact the club’s academy?
“Wasps have been working up plans for a centre based at the Higgs Centre but while that is the intention, nothing is certain.”
21:28 today“We are delighted to be the leading potential site for Wasps’ new training base and will work with them in any way we can to help make this happen.
“The Alan Higgs Centre plays a major role in community sports and leisure in South East Coventry, and the creation of a new complex for Wasps would add greatly to the site as well as providing the club with a permanent training base in the city.”
“To that end, Paul Breed (chief executive of Coventry Sports Foundation) had to go out and find other tenants and found us.
“That plan has been coming together for a while. What I'm not clear on is whether CCFC have found another location for their Academy yet.
Just for once Italia, have a fucking day off! The pool is mentioned as part of Coventry having world class training facilities.
Also if Wasps are saying they will let us use their facility in the middle of the night to retain our cat 2 status doesn't that imply that the current facilities are going?Thanks.
First time I have seen something that actually confirms the pool is likely to be in the indoor pitch area.
The problem is the indoor area where the new pool is supposed to be built. If the pool wasn't happening I think the facilities would be there to accommodate both. I'm not sure how big the Higgs is/will, so even if the facilities were available is it even logistically possible that two massive sports clubs could coexist there 7 days a week?Also if Wasps are saying they will let us use their facility in the middle of the night to retain our cat 2 status doesn't that imply that the current facilities are going?
He needs to be called out on it. The trust need to be on his caseThe land is owned by Coventry and Warwickshire Awards Trust.
Higgs have a charge on the land dated March 2016 (when it transferred ownership?)
In the charge it says higgs received 400,000 from CWAT and Wasps paid 150,000 to underlet. Including building training facilities.
In march 2016 paul breed was a director of cwat, yet this afternoon he said nothing was certain in relation to wasps building a training facility.
our club is just a laughing stock
You can object onlineWell. At least we know what we're fighting now. Time to stop bitching about the politics and come together. The application only went in today. That means it's not approved and has a process to go through which means it's not too late to start fighting it.
First question. Does anyone know more than your average Joe on here about planning application's? What's the first opportunity that the residents of Coventry will get to fight this? How should we be fighting it? What's the legal basis (if there is one) for fighting it?
Seems to me that this is a battle that's going to have to be fought on many fronts. This planning application being just one.
You dickhead. It's quite obviously been kept hush hushYou are not very smart are you, Anderson should have had his ear to the ground, its been clear something has been afoot for a while now, why hasn't he found out what's been going on?
Theres always the possibility they are lying, but if Wasps latest statement is true about offering to rent some of there new facilities to ccfc then he does look a bit silly now.You dickhead. It's quite obviously been kept hush hush
Yes, Wasps are already giving the answer to the objections. They are one step ahead. Yes, I do blame our owners. Wasps are walking over CCFC. We can all object, but where is the CCFC counter attack? Money talks - a 10 year rent guarantee slapped on the table may help.. But it should have already been offered. Where' s the CCFC/ CRFC planing application for the BPA? Might also show that we still need the Higgs and are not building a training centre elsewhere.
