Agree. They simply need to undertake a feasibility study of the options in relation to the facility and prospects for any redevelopment. It would be a positive step if both parties sat down face to face and discussed this! It's not good practice to air views via the media. However, it is a reflection on the appalling state of the relationships between all the parties.They need to be pressured then.
1. If Wasps and the pool are moving in, is it physically possible the club can still be there?
2. If not, why not? Costs / space etc?
3. If yes, get sorting it then.
That is the main one.
Things are coming to a head now, Sisu will have to stop the court actions and pay up, to get a seat around the table, and even then they will hold no cards. They are being pushed into a corner in an attempt to get them of the club and city in my opinion, so the quicker Sisu make a decision on which way they go this tit for tat will go on and get even more messy.
The CCC and all involved are making it very clear that they will carry on in the direction and road they have set without it harming them, Sisu have to work out if the rd they have taken is going to allow them to carry on. Either way and as always our club is used, smeared and smashed to bits, for a game of who has the biggest balls in the play ground, i truly believe that having new owners will help create a better future and the only way this club and city can move forward as one.
I'm hoping that the council and Higgs are playing the long game where they are trying to get SISU to sell the club. Once new owners are in place then everything will be different. CCC will do anything and everything to get the club back to the top. Butts Park Development - of course great idea....... Need the road infrastructure changed - of course no problem. Etc etc....
I know this is pure fantasy but this is all I've got to cling onto in terms of our clubs future. Sad times.
Pay up for what though? Have they refused to pay rent at the higgs or anything like that?
Re-read what I posted. I don't support SISU, CCC, Higgs or anyone other than CCFC.And all the time that CCC and Higgs 'play the long game' the actions they undertake become irreversible. Unless of course you are thinking about when SISU leave and the Wasps lease expires in 247 years...
If SISU leave - which will be when they choose to, how do you expect new owners to salvage everything that has already been sold off to a franchise???
As usual the victims in this 'game' are CCFC. But you go ahead and support the people who are intent on driving us into oblivion.

SISU have been told to stop legal action before CCC will talk to them about moving to the Butts.Sisu have been told stop court actions and pay the costs and things can move forward, do you not think this is all connected and its not all parties coming together to squeeze Sisu into making a decision on the road they take.

I hope this mess gets sorted tomorrow. But that's not going to happen. So I simply hoped that eventually SISU leave. Not because of my love for CCC. But simply because new owners look to be the only way CCC will help and support the club. Juvenile I know . But that's how CCC and Higgs seem to be acting. Like kids.
SISU have been told to stop legal action before CCC will talk to them about moving to the Butts.
That doesn't or at least shouldn't have any impact on CSF talking to CCFC.

CCFC owners are multi millionaires, yet all they own land wise in Coventry area is Ryton. Why haven't they invested in their own infra-structure including an Academy instead of relying on someone else
Coventry Sports Foundation is a charitable Trust and limited company with a mission to;
provide a wide range of sporting, recreational, educational and social activities to under-represented and disadvantaged community groups and individuals within Coventry.
So my question is why is it their responsibility to bend over backwards to support some investors in the Cayman Islands
How is talking to ccfc about extending the academy lease at the Higgs mean that they are bending over backwards to support some investors in the cayman islands?CCFC owners are multi millionaires, yet all they own land wise in Coventry area is Ryton.

Sorry Nick please see edited comment
So my question is why is it their responsibility (a charity) to bend over backwards to support some investors in the Cayman Islands or Malta
It wasn't Maltese investors that took YOU and CCFC to Northampton, so they ain't my enemies so go back to your keyboard and be happy that I join a long list that believe you are just a twatIt's only the Malta one they are helping which - given you never mentioned then in your original post - I suspect you are more than happy with.
The higgs Q&A doesn't make good reading.Q&A with Anderson in the CT

Would be a struggle to argue with anything he's said there, sure some will try!

Could the planned 50-metre swimming pool for the Higgs be built and the existing indoor pitch retained?
“Probably not.”
Nope, pretty much shows we are being forced out and hiding behind the "They said they were moving out" line.The higgs Q&A doesn't make good reading.

When you have supported CCFC for over 55 years then have a go at me. Just because I don't often post on your forum don't mean I don't care. But hey I guess it's your toy so that gives you the right to have a go at meThere's a very strange influx here of people who don't post for a while then re-appear.
I am pretty sure that saving the academy is something everybody can agree on isn't it?
Indeed it doesn't. Personally the conclusion I draw from reading the two sets of responses is that we want to stay but Higgs / CSF don't want us, possibly as it clashes with Wasps plans.The higgs Q&A doesn't make good reading.
