St Andrew's it is then (6 Viewers)

[Elseb]

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.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Wasps once again being cunts

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

 

[Evo1883]

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

 

[clint van damme]

fucking pissed off with that to be honest. Expected it but still pissed off hearing it confirmed.

 

[covboy1987]

Knew that was coming as soon as they announced the land deal - Real issues now - 5 years at Bimingham

 

[no_loyalty]

Fuck those stripey W***s bastards, I hope they go bankrupt asap.

 

[ccfcway]

Knew that was coming as soon as they announced the land deal - Real issues now - 5 years at Bimingham

just look at it as more away games.

 

[ccfcway]

is there any news on date for outcome of the legal challenge ?.

 

[Evo1883]

We're going to have to proper Brighton and Hove albion this shit aren't we...

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Absolute joke, seriously fuck wasps they need to fucking go bankrupt

 

[ccfcway]

Absolute joke, seriously fuck wasps they need to fucking go bankrupt

quickest way is sisu claim to win the court case and ccc have to take the ground off them

 

[Nick]

So the issue is still the indemnity. Something that BBC C&W and Cov Tel have never questioned wasps over

Indemnity for a third party too.

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

 

[Nick]

cwr still not picked up on the news - Quality reporting

They will be waiting for a wasps statement I expect. "Drop the legals"

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

our own council fucking us over after getting promoted, they should be ashamed

Have said all along they seem to still be pulling wasps strings.

 

[ccfcway]

could it be ACL ?

 

[shmmeee]

FFS. Expected though, said I couldn’t see any changes in the fundamental issues that stopped it last season.

 

[fernandopartridge]

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.

 

[ccfcway]

our own council fucking us over after getting promoted, they should be ashamed

agreed. if only an independent candidate stood and made ccfc return to cov their number 1 priority in manefesto, would create some waves

 

[cc84cov]

Dawkins was correct then with this & westbrooke seems

 

[Evo1883]

Obviously we have alot of away day only fans on twitter right now..

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

 

[cc84cov]

Tbh I’m glad we need to leave wasps to rot & get the new ground built

 

[jordan210]

Maybe someone is worried that they broke state aid rules

 

[cc84cov]

Council are flapping it then of this EU comes off them and wasps will be in some real shit

Tells me they know their gonna be in the shit tbh

 

[theferret]

true -we would be at home the same weekends as villa - lots of sunday games ahead

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.

 

[covcity4life]

Tbh I’m glad we need to leave wasps to rot & get the new ground built

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?

 

[Evo1883]

Council are flapping it then of this EU comes off them and wasps will be in some real shit

I'd love nothing more than for CCC and the wasps to be the receivers of a huge fucking fine... Seem very keen to put that on us

 

[Johnnythespider]

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.

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.

 

[chiefdave]

is there any news on date for outcome of the legal challenge ?.

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.

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

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.

 

[Evo1883]

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

 

[clint van damme]

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.

and how long will it be before grounds are fully open anyway?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

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.
