Presumably it doesn't have the required facilities for the grading we have. Maybe classroom or parents waiting room. It's also more accessible to the lads and their families at Higgs.
Can't see why they can't just train at Ryton. We'd save ourself some money that way.
pwkh- higgs centre and higgs charity have no trustees in common
cov tel - pwkh is secretary of higgs centre
maybe no common trustees - but certainly a common executive - who may seem open on here, but i think has his own agenda

PWKH on CWR said owed £12,000 re equipment maintenance and won't do deal with CCFC H unless it agrees to cover thay money owed by CCFC L. Says have written to CCFC H and heard nothing back. Asked by Clive if playing silly buggers said no must protect higgs centre. For me I do understand the stance bcos I employ the same and just got to keep fingers crossed that it does not hurt the kids.
This casts doubt (quelle surprise) on the administrator:
From CT: 'A source said the administrator had indicated there was nothing to prevent CCFC (Holdings) Ltd using the centre for the academy, claiming Holdings had always paid the bills for it.'
Seems someone's telling big porkies here, and I don't think it's PWKH.
The requirements of a Grade 2 Academy that gets us a £500k grant from the FL is demanding - with indoor pitches, classrooms, etc etc and Ryton simply doesn't have these facilities. The Higgs Centre was purpose built to satisfy these requirements and I doubt if there is anywhere else in the area that does. I would assume that short term, a few weeks we could get away with it but not long term unless investment was made at Ryton.
But that question should surely be direct at CSF who run it, shouldn't it?A question to mr pwkh, as a viable business surely the Alan Higgs can't afford to turn away that income??? Without the income from the club surely it will mean job losses for your own staff??
I am not a Cov fan but live in the midlands and a big football fan so I have been following these interesting developments??
From rumours I am hearing from a close friend CCFC are willing to meet your requirements and pay money for hiring and also to fix machinery.
So I ask you now what are your hidden agendas??? Are you know using the academy as a pawn to find out where the golden share is???? Surely the development and future of these young players shouldn't be threatened by your ego and personal arguments with sisu??
From what I see the academy is te only good thing this club has going for it, so if you and your merry little men are treating to force a sale to a new owner, surely you wouldn't do anything to damage one of its biggest assets???
Mr pwkh is calling all the shots with this one!!! Has nothing to do with csf from what is hear???
Who got the £500K grant for the operation of the academy?
Seems strange we're told Limited has the contract to play at The Higgs, but hadn't got the cash. If Holdings have the cash it's hard not to argue the two businesses are inextricably linked, as was proven when Southampton tried to distance a holding and operational business in administration a few seasons back (albeit the reverse relationship to ours).
The FA found against Saints. It's inconceivable they won't with us with what we're seeing
Can confirm (son is at the academy)their fixtures are on this sunday, for the age groups playing away . no mention of the 10-12 or 14, age groups who are supposed to be playing at the higgs???. Absolute disgrace,telegraph is printing quotes from pressley how the academy is the future,but the kids have no where to play or train.come on tell us the truth,the cov fans deserve at least that
That's why I am asking him...... For me the main thing should be here is the future of the academy???
As you are not a Coventry fan why are you getting so heated about PWKH. SUrely his activities are none of your business.
Unless you have your own agenda/issues which you haven't mentioned.
No, not a CCFC fan, but clearly a big fan of SISU. Curious..
