Wasps lost £9.7m last year so don’t think they can afford to cut us free.

If people want to or don't want to go this time, either for principle or logisticaI reasons, I totally understand it . Can't get my head around away games only though. Prepared to give up the time and expense of travelling up and down the country every other week but not to contribute financially to that team that you still care enough about to want to watch. Feels like punishing the hostage to me. And I don't mean that to be an inflammatory statement, people will and can do whatever they please, I just don't personally see any logic in it.

That’s what I’m getting at!
What if we got to Wembley? Would people go then?

No.

The only way to really show against how moving a club we are is to sell out MK Dons.
Don't give those bastards a penny.

It’s not over yet said months ago this will go down to the very final second a deal at the Ricoh if to be struck will be at the very last minute,although I’m not confident Sisu must be hoping for a miracle we all know legals are not going anywhere if wasps do crash & burn the Ricoh falls back into councils hands their fucked,build a ground ? On what land ? Are the council gonna sell them some land ? Can’t see it.

so if SISU one day leave, and Hoffman takes over and agrees with Wasps that we can play at the Ricoh what then?
Do the stay awayers refuse to play at a ground leased by the Scum that are Wasps - and ultimately owned by the council


You mean the scenario where CCC squeeze CCFC to leave the city or sell. Hoffman then gallops up with support from the SBT ( and unknown backers ) and takes over the Club then WASPS join in a consortium and allow CCFC to play at the Ricoh?

I wouldn't rule Sixfields out again just yet.

I imagine it has to be them as one of the two.

It’s certainly my preference for sixfields and it’s way ahead of St Andrews or the Bescot in my thoughts.

I still think Leicester Tigers is an option. No reason it has to be somewhere that's a current football stadium.

Maybe Northampton is the one they have agreed but not preference for me St Andrews over that shit hole sixfields

Please not Sixfields could not stand that dump again. St andrews would be great way closer good pitch etc:

St Andrews is just as big a dump as a smaller dump in sixfields.

Reality is both are not ours but you don’t need a 30k stadium to rattle in with a possible speculated average combined attendance of anywhere between 3500 and 5000.

I think we will take a lot more to St Andrews than Sixfields Steve.

Yeah possible, I couldn’t call that either way other than for me I’d renew a season ticket at Sixfields but not St Andrews on my own pros and cons work commitments etc...

I really don’t get the preference for some to go St Andrews other than the ease of location to attend potentially.

The match day experience for fans and players would be horrendous and give a huge advantage to the well supported traveling clubs.

We thought the checkatrade trophy games and early FA Cup games last year at the Ricoh were flat lacking atmosphere at St Andrews it be a repeat if not worse every other week. That would be detrimental to our form.

At a smaller stadium a better or at least a more positive atmosphere could be generated.

From center of Coventry St Andrews is less than half the distance of sickfields.

Yeah I don’t dispute that as a positive in some respects. I just don’t see it as the best reason to do a deal with Birmingham either commercially or match day experience for the best of the players or club

Looking forward to the banter with the locals again if its Northampton. How dull.

I would be surprised if it was though, as the Cobblers are under different owners now, and I am can't see any real benefit to them for having lodgers there, especially on what would be a long term basis

Agree Northampton over those two, the only good think about Brum is train links.
Only takes half an hour on the train to Northampton. 15 minute walk or quick bus journey up the road to Sixfields from the station.
Not that I want us to go there.
