    New Training Ground Update

    The report does say "CCFC have secured an option to purchase land to develop a new state of the art training ground, on a site which is significantly larger than the current 8 acre one at Ryton" 'Option to purchase' - good. "CCFC have secured", very good. Owned by CCFC is a must. There is...

    Actual Carl Baker Day - It has happened!

    Baker isn't actually earning anything. Pay per game time deal only.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Seeing people continually defend the indefensible is disheartening "a facility that is designed and built to facilitate and future proof a Category One status" is a line from the article. Who's designing it and who's building it if not CCFC? If you recall, I started a thread about getting the...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Because it was bullshit then, it's bullshit now and it's contradictory to what has just been publicly stated. Even Kieran Crowley admitted it - BUT IT'S STILL THERE!!!! Who the fuck's going to build that for them? There's no room for the 1st team at the Higgs and certainly no willingness from...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    No Nick, deleting the article doesn't make the sham they've created go away. We've stated and still publicly declare on the official website that we're building an integrated first team and Cat 1 Academy facility. We've issued a contradictory statement stating we're staying at the Higgs long...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    That's not what I said Nick. One statement says we're staying long term at AEHC. The other still says we're building an integrated Cat1 academy and 1st team facility. We can do both and will probably do neither. The fact that it's still on the club's website shows how badly run we are. Sent...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    The thread was about the fact that CCFC had finally put in writing their objections to the Wasps development at the AEHC. The response does say they want to stay there long term. Fine. I've made my feelings clear about how I think they should be going about it and sitting around a table to...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    No, I meant in general, you've got issues. You clearly revel in playing the pantomime villain on here, but I think it makes you look like a bit of a tool.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Agree it looks like an afterthought, but is also after the meeting CA should have turned up at.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    For those interested, and granted, it won't be many, this briefing paper describes some of the things that happen when Councillors go against the advise of the Planning Officer. http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN01030 Some worrying points though: Councillors can...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    CA's point was that it wasn't 'normal commercial terms' and that it had been offered after the email from Oxalis to the Council. His claim that normal commercial terms should include length of contract, break clauses etc. Stuff that can be worked out in a meeting most likely ;)

    Good find - thank you.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Maybe a Freedom of Information request to the Planning department? They would have need to have at least have had informal discussions about the proposed sites to gauge viability. Get on it Grendel.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Possibly, but it won't be any taller than the existing building though and that's probably one of the reasons they chose the site in the first place. A kicking barn requires a tall structure and normally adding to an existing development requires any new addition to be no taller than the...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Agreed Dave and finally a proactive step by the Club. As already mentioned above though, it does have the feel of a preamble for legal action.
