I do like this one.

It's pretty simple. Rugby fans don't sensationalise, we react to the facts.

Even if it is for some sort of improvements at the stadium why should public money be used? Its a privately owned company, if they somehow managed to make millions in profit one year would they be handing it all over? Other businesses aren't getting handed millions on a regular basis.

And lets be honest, if its work that is needed then even if you give them funding for that it still impacts the bonds as its money they no longer need to find themselves.

I just don't see any way it can be justified.

Yet we all know people like Reeves will be doing their very best to justify it as they have a personal interest in it all.

Look at how the Wasps fans are now, they literally think it is all because of COVID and that they should just be handed the money. I really hope every sports team in the Midlands goes to town also claiming for millions if that is now a valid reason.

I really think they will get bailed out.

Grants are very easy to attain - if funds in a pot are available those who have the pot want to find a home. There’s spare EU funding post Brexit washing around every where

Can we apply for a grant to do up Ryton then? Or build a new training ground?

I think every club should then bombard. St Andrews needs work doing too.

Thing is, how many council bosses have personal interests in those?

The issue is really they are two hedge funds and Sappella fisher and Boddy are Barry Mcguigan and Richardson Eastwood and Vaughan are Mike Tyson. They are ruthless brutal and don’t care who they stamp on. Our team in comparison are a lightweight hedge fund with zero spine and hapless tactics

Nah, they don't throw any blows. They just get the local council and the trust to do it for them.

I'd take that boxing analogy and run it another way. The Wasps side are like Anthony Joshua, talked a good game but now one decision away from fading into obscurity.

They are more ruthless and more efficient - Sisu have been punch drunk for years - they should have bludgeoned a 50 year sub lease instead of this nonsense we are getting a new ground

Then this really would be a side show

Wasps would stab their granny for a tenner. Sappalla would want twenty then turn up at the wrong place with a spoon instead of a knife and still say it wasn’t her fault

If we had enforced a 50 year sub lease this would all be a laugh and a sideshow would it not?

Why would it if the lease holder goes out of business, what happens to the ccfc lease?

Barry McGuigans was also a featherweight not a lightweight. He also had a better win rate and knock out rate than Tyson, he also achieved more as an amateur than Tyson. Other than that though…

Classic Tony - not interested in the subject and only when Grendel posts and even supporting a poster who identifies himself as a full time wum

A true gift that never stops giving

I’ve had a serious conversation with serious posters on this thread. Which is why you weren’t involved.

You’re analogy was ridiculous. Pound for pound and round for round McGuigan was a better boxer, just in a less glamorous weight.

this Tony is one I believe of 4 posts you’ve made on the subject since the news which as ever was inaccurate - i actuality think you’ve averaged 1 post in 100 on a ccfc related matter on average this year. You aren’t interested so why pretend you are

It’s the weight Tony the power - do you even follow anything now about the football club? Since the sleeping bag and Dave Johnson’s love in you lost interest didn’t you?

Im sort of being serious - do you actually follow the club at all? You are just obsessed with brexit and O Day now aren’t you?

I think he is RJC on the comments here at the end of this blog and Al is Alan.

Certain regular poster on here seems a trifle emotional as well

Yeah, something is going on then if those dickheads are firing up.

Funnily enough, (not) Chris West is buddies with the Trust as well.

Looks like the game will be "deflect onto SISU". Half expecting some newspaper articles as well.
