How can they confirm anything when they don't know where the academy will be?

It's based at Ryton now apparently.

This is about as good as news gets for us nowadays. Rioch and his team deserve credit for doing a good job in difficult circumstances.

Well the club have to put £500K in to match the FA grant, I hope that is being audited properly as it will be a huge percentage of the club's reduced turnover.

its because they were audited when they were still at the higgs.

Yes and PL have give them 3 months to find another base which meets the criteria at the moment the are training at the king Henry playing fields until August !!!,, there is no where else in cov which meets cat 2 status , therefore the academy will fold interesting ccfc (sisu)web site refused to publish the fact we achieved cat 2 on there website

Sadly I can see Gregor Rioch leaving before the end of the season, no sense in him screwing his career.

But they have - from today's offal: http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/academy-get-category-2-906441.aspx

Looks like they've set up classrooms at Ryton - surely dplzll is correct about having to meet PL academy criteria - can't see Ryton meeting Category 2 status.

More spin??

Excellent news that we've got CAT 2 again, hope it isn't reliant on us staying at the Higgs Centre or that'll go and that would be a disaster given the other things going on.
