Sorry I can’t quote posts Poptart. This site is horrible having to press submit and quote numerous times before it loads or accepts a post.

Naturally I think we have to be wary but it’s just clubs trying to drum up positivity in Bulls/Toulouse’s case (Toulouse unprofessionally imo by trying to discredit trinity in poor taste).

Then you have London playing the violin and trying to save their hides with the ominous sad music playing.

I’m impressed the club is being professional and setting out its stall and backing it up. The club could easily have responded to Toulouse making suggestive comments about our clubs contract nagotiations but remained professional which was nice to see.

They're just trying to keep the morale of the fan base up IMO

Nearly as deluded as the Bulls

I've merged these as there are bound to be more teams with same announcement.

If Cas do what they say they'll be up with us.

These announcements are a sign of nerves to me. Confident? Say nothing.

Not sure how their wooden stand will be viewed by IMG

Multi post

Hopefully not the same as WMDC viewed it.

The facts wooden makes no difference

It's about the number of seats for supporters, number of seats for directors and media functionality and space.
They reckon they've sorted it. I guess we'll see.

Cas saying they expect maximum points for their stadium.

Maximum points for being a massive ****hole.

It will all be very basic and minimum quality to get points I suspect.

Things like sprucing up and re purposing rooms, throwing some comfy seat covers on some seats and putting a section barrier round them calling them media seats etc. Things like that I would imagine.

Yes, I said it before and I'll say it again, there are some clubs out there that are(granted with a bit of a push from IMG) that are genuinely looking to make sustainable improvements for all of the right reasons and become a better club with better facilities etc. I think just looking at the things we are doing as a club, we fall into the category.

Then you have the clubs that aren't buying into it, that will scrape the bare minimum with sticking plasters (quite literally in some cases) all over the place just to pick up points on the technicality that they do meet a minimum criteria on something, this is Cas, it's very clear to see. This is a club that is going to pick up points under financial investment because there "investor" transferred a million pounds into the clubs bank account, with zero plans to actually use the money on the club and will be back in his pocket the first signs they've picked that point up... Again a loophole in the criteria.

Lets not forget though, before Matt Ellis arrived we probably fell into this category too.
