havanatopia Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Talking of Swindle, what ever happened to the rumour of Cooper going to be an assistant at Wed? Has that died a death? I cannot quite see them reaching the giddy heights of a failed play off this season somehow. Maybe mid to upper mid table sounds about right.

Guest Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 When my son went to Huddersfield Uni, I had a sudden interest in rugby league as that uni sponsored Huddersfield and had their name on the shirts. I did wonder how much of my son's tuition fees were going to a professional sports club. I'm told the coaches would go to the uni and run PE sessions for the students. Warrington are currently sponsored by the University of Chester, so there are precedents for university's helping local professional sports clubs. That sponsorship money has to come from the university's own income. I think that's the other side of the coin. In those instances the university is buying in services, in the hypothetical here UWE would be selling something, and then could they do that at an undervalue. I suppose the parity would be in those instances if the payments from the university exceeded the value of the advertising received. Perhaps that's why part of the deal is the coaching. But like you say, I'd be interested in where my money was going and how it was spent in those instances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemmyredjeff Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 You'll see, we won't; we'll be concentrating on Championship football - you know; the thing you bunch of dirty, shameful cheats spectacularly failed to win with a bunch of loan players last season? Enjoy your summer; pretty sure your season will be hell. BYE Trouble is, we may end up having to do the same ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 This bit from the evil post is intriguing: "Even if the club was to win on appeal, they would only be awarded damages instead of the multinational being forced to buy the Memorial Stadium." If this is the case; then regardless of the UWE's position, the project is dead in the water as of now. I was led to believe by someone itk that UWE were gifting the land to the sags in exchange for stadium naming rights in perpetuity. The money from the memorial stadium is needed to finance the build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
