Mainly because I prefer my journalism without any bias or agenda. I've a problem with what Les now reports as it's clear he's moved away from the NUJ code of conduct. He is now using a free paper to promote what I consider to be an agenda to negate SISU's failings by apportioning...

Ridiculous position from him and I tweeted to say so. He's @ me in the reply (@ukorca). I also got someone who know me from on here tweet me to accuse me of being a Council or Wasps employee, or at least not a CCFC fan. Go and look at the tweets. Conspiracy theories make me laugh. Sent...

Well I know the site and if the current indoor pitch is becoming a swimming pool and other facilities, the current caged pitch is becoming the kicking barn and one of the other grass pitches (which are usually under utilised from my experience) is being redeveloped by Wasps to meet the needs of...

and this.... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-md-pulls-out-11635112? It was CA who pulled out of the meeting. Paul Breed says the door is open for them to meet. Why aren't they? :banghead:

I suspect there might be a few i's to be dotted and t's to be crossed before they can. If the facility ends up being different, but better in some ways, maybe a bit worse in others, roughly the same cost for CCFC, acceptable to the FL and passes planning, doesn't everyone win? That's left me...

I've also found this, which is the reply to the Council from the Wasps planning team.

He's claimed on Twitter that using the word US in the sentence, "which will help US to justify the proposal to planning committee when the time comes" is the Council colluding with Wasps. I've pointed out that the planning officer stated the proposal should have included information about "the...

http://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/save-city-council-request-help-justify-wasps-move-coventry-city-academy-home-foi-request-reveals/ Les Reid's bias comes to the fore again. Have a read of this article and then let me know if the following phrase might have been completely misinterpreted by...

On what basis is it wrong? Richard Branson doens't run all the aspects of Virgin day to day, but he's still the man pulling the big levers. SISU are involved in everything major that happens. Who would the club go to to get funds to redevelop BPA for example? They wouldn't be able to just get a...

Except that Anderson has already admitted that any serious decision gets referred to the owners. I'd say continuing a 600k p.a. investment with no guaranteed return might need SISU's approval

Completely agree OSB and exactly in line with the thinking of the Championship Board member I spoke to. He didn't want to give it up for his club because he knew it's importance for the fans and the community. Our owners however.......

Seriously? I wasn't thinking of anyone specific when I said 'people', I was making a general comment about the fact that these 'people' exist. You then said..... Why would you even ask that as you appear to know what answer is coming or that I was specifically thinking about those two people...

So you already knew the answer to the question you asked and then you criticise me for answering it?

I would suggest you apply for a job on the board. You've just done more work on understanding the Academy requirements than the rest of CCFC put together.

There are 'journalists' such as Les Reid, who constantly defends them as the injured party in a mess that is all of their own making. How about Jonathan Strange, the former Chair of the CCLSC who quit his post over a disagreement with fellow members. He thought fans should go to Sixfields. He...

Forgive my cynicism, but why is that important? The FL have agreed it will be sufficient for the purposes of a Category 2 Academy. If the club needs more pitch time than can be provided, other pitches are available. If the important thing is to 'save the academy' - you know the one where you...

I think their bluff has been called. Will they tamely fold, or call?

I wonder why so many people are anti the board and the owners? People still feel the need to defend them though. :banghead:

£25 gets you a free season ticket if taken up when buying a full price adult season ticket. For U13s only. Wasps equivalent is free. U16s get to go for free with a paying adult. Individual games - no season ticket requirement. A friend of mine, who is a football man but supports Leeds, has...

Yes, I specifically mention the JSBs, but I didn't think I needed to go through everything I knew existed. It would now appear that you're unhappy that I didn't. I'll get over it.
