Lets all agree not to do cartwheels of excitement but also not moan like someone has spat on your granny too.There is zero downside to them putting their names to the statement, and they're not even the first major organization to be associated with one of our many imaginary stadium projects.
In terms of what I was expecting - I think meetings between CCFC and Warwick Uni was the absolute bare minimum I was expecting, so I'm not sure why I should be doing cartwheels that they've been holding them (but can't share any more details until next year)
How would they know it’s complete bullshit? It’s a meeting.
Being fair, you can’t hide all your stadium discussions behind NDAs and “commercial confidentiality” and then complain people are asking for more info.
I maintain they shot their load too early on this to try and counter the breakdown in talks. Clearly it’s not particularly far along nor moving at any pace.
Works for CCC & Wasps!
2020 strikes again.CCC rightly get a lot of stick
Load of shit. It's stuff like this that undermines all the good work that the club has done from a fan relationship perspective. If there was genuinely a constructive meeting and you can't give the details because they are commercially sensitive, just say what you were talking about.
Were you meeting to discuss the specific area of land that will be built on? Was it about timelines? Was it about financing and innovative ways to have it paid for? Was it about the commercials/contractual set up for the partnership and how it would work in practice? Have they decided on a model stadium, size etc?
All the basic shit that you know fans would be curious about. If there was any truth to it whatsoever you'd be addressing these things. Shit, even if you can't address them for whatever reason, address that you can't fucking address them.
Got one side naming meetings things like masterplan thinking it's funny, and another side playing stupid games with non event meetings and releasing them knowing it would frustrate fans. Neither of them give a fuck about fans

Damned if they do, damned if they don't...
Some have been clamouring for an update even though it's well known that not too much will have happened yet so it was obviously felt something should be released
If the statement had come just from the University it would be universally welcomed but unfortunately after so many false promises, everyone is rightly sceptical of anything released by our owners.
Gonna get shit for this but: literally everything CCC do is titled Masterplan. Station Masterplan, CCS Masterplan, etc etc. It’s just a buzzword for “big project“.

So big that they take no notes on it...?

Can’t even believe the University have been so daft allowing SISU to use them in this battle tbh
Respectfully, I don't agree mate. The update was that there was a meeting in November...nothing elseDamned if they do, damned if they don't...
Ah fair enough. Didn’t know that, and for those who don’t it’s a bit pinky and the brain lolGonna get shit for this but: literally everything CCC do is titled Masterplan. Station Masterplan, CCS Masterplan, etc etc. It’s just a buzzword for “big project“.

What did you expect? These things take time and with the way the world is burning at the moment probably even more time than normal. They really shouldn't have mentioned anything earlier in the year as it obviously isn't ready for public consumption yet but I guess their hand was forced with the Ricoh stuff.
Any update other than talks have broken down should be greeted positively but obviously until we see the work started everyone is right to be sceptical.
The only glimmer of hope I have so far is the fact that Tim doesn't seem to be involved which can only be a positive thing
My good pal is head of facilities & maintenance up there he’s heard nothing happening as of yet,doesn’t mean it’s not happening might not have filtered down yet I just think no ground will ever be built by SISU who’s goal is still the Ricoh just changing their aim slightly using the Uni.The people I have has dealings with at the uni certainly aren't daft and having them on board adds a (very small) bit of credibility to the statements which just brings them above Tim's previous drivel
The statement says nowt new but shows they are still talking which is a good thing and hopefully something comes of it, but like most people I'll hold off buying my seat until I see a spade in the ground
They're not trying to build a spaceship, they're talking about building a football stadium on a piece of land the university owns. The lack of any clarity at all about the points of discussion just makes me think this utter horseshit.

You do realise it's not just sisu and the uni who have to agree to everything don't you, there are so many other areas that have to be agreed with so many other people especially with the road and rail stuff that is still being decided on.
I get the scepticism completely but it is a very very complicated project to even get off the ground and with the way the world is at the moment that's going to be even more difficult with so many moving parts
I already listed this in my previous postWhat did you expect?

The next statement in early 2021 had better be a humdinger!
Let's find out...It's shite, even the least cynical person in the world would scoff at that pointless release.
Certainly has. Same accounts commenting on club, telegraph and cwr tweets....Very vague but it will still rouse a few wasp bots in to posting so at least it will provide some mild amusement.
