Shame the issue hasn't been sorted but we're more than happy to have you back at ST Andrews, really hope you do well next season. Thought your fans were very classy last season during our cup tie and over the course of your games at ST Andrews. You'll no doubt finish above us next season as well haha.

All the best over the break folks!

We actually did start a 2nd season at Sixfields and then moved back to the Ricoh after the 1st game. It might be better to play the behind closed doors games as St Andrews and possibly revisit negotiations before 1st Oct.

Sounds more like the third party which is obviously CCC. Do they know anything more about this investigation than the rest of us?

The fanbase need to stick with the club and not side with the people who strive to see us fail..

There will be a day when we can finally put our fingers up to the council and London wasps.. It will happen

Indemnity for a third party too.

So the council want their arses covering too? Interesting how wasps want another party to be covered too.

The reality is that the day Wasps came to town was the day that this sort of thing was pretty much baked in, no matter who the owners of CCFC are.

Problem is, they've as much chance of getting an away ticket with reduced capacities as I have of tongue punching Kelly Brooks fartbox in the next 70 years

We played at SA on a Saturday when Villa were at home at the same time a number of times last season. Won't make any difference them being in the same league.

Could take a long time and is not guaranteed. Imagine they found new owners with cash. I know doesn't happen too much in rugby but it would scupper any hopes we have

Can cov council stop the new ground at Warwick uni?

Wouldn't hope for anything too quickly. Northampton, a short term Ricoh deal, and last season at St Andrews has hardly resulted in a turbocharged rush towards a new ground.
Click to expand...
Agreed but i think there will be a clamour for something tangible before many will commit to following the team to Birmingham, more people will be able to forget the Ricoh if the club can do this.

Within twelve months, the Commission will, in principle, endeavour to:
- adopt a decision for priority cases pursuant to Article 4 of the PR, with a copy
addressed to the complainant; or
- send an initial administrative letter to the complainant setting out its preliminary views on non-priority cases.

The above instructions are "Best practices" and therefore do not constitute legally binding deadlines. The specificity of an individual case may indeed require an adaptation of, or deviation from these instructions, depending on the case at hand. Nevertheless, since the Commission must examine complaints "without delay" (Article 10(1) of the PR, as confirmed by the Court in Athinaïki and NDSHT), the rules enshrined in the Best Practices Code should be used as the normal milestones for handling complaints.

Should have heard something by now to indicate if they are going to proceed to investigation.

Given that we have repeatedly been told there is zero chance of any issue being found you'd expect it to be thrown out at this stage and no investigation undertaken.

Although that does make you wonder why Wasps and the council seem to be so worried and insistent on indemnification.

if they knew it for sure, they would have done a lot more to encourage ccfc by now. i suspect its more they dont want it hanging over their heads.

Expected this from the outset. The indemnity was never going to be dropped. We should never return now as a tenant only equal or total owners. If they want to play the shitty game let them onwards and upwards.

It's actually got to the point where I genuinely can't stand the arena, and for me it's just a tainted wank hole that I hope we can watch rust up when it's vacated

I'm not fussed by this. I'm actually glad we are standing up to Wasps and the Council.

Hopefully more people this time will start realising there are other guilty parties.
