Stopped posting on here as i am so fed up of all this crap (ccfc have been such a massive
part of my life for over 30 years). So for what it is worth here is my 2 pence worth.

WASPS:
FFS stop saying drop the legals; as a club WE CAN’T but the fans would love it to happen,
all we want is a team to support and follow, if you did do a deal with us you would get alot
of good will from locals instead of (if we are forced to move, the amount of ill feeling you
will get. I for one will start wanting Coventry Rugby Club to do well and force you out of
Coventry like you are doing to us).

CCC
Again, stop saying drop the legals. As supporters all we want is a team to follow/support.
Do they want voting back in, tell you what, support the club and we will all forgive the past,
help us find new ground to build on, (if SISU don’t have the contacts/money to build one)
then it will soon become clear, but IF they do have the backers then we can move on from
all this RICOH drama).

SISU
Tell us WHY, Wasps/Council should drop blocking us. If you have an idea of somewhere
where we can move to SHARE it with us ALL. Tell us where you think a new stadium can
be built in COVENTRY, if it is viable we will all get behind you and realise that
WASPS/CCC are blocking you from developing our club and turn the blame fully on them.

TRUST
why are you not asking these questions? and if you are, why are we not getting your
answers to these questions.

Things need to stop being confidential or assumed to be, we as CCFC supporters NOW
need answers as things have gone to far.

TO YOU ALL
the supporters/fans of CCFC are the ones caught in the middle of all this, just as the
team are showing improvement and in the next couple of years be back in the
Championship if not sooner we have YOU ALL, fighting inhouse against each other and
destroying all of Mark Robins and the TEAMS good work.

Come on, all of you. The first one that blinks will be seen as OUR saviour,

WASPS
blink and we might not resent you being here.

CCC
help us and we might just vote you back in

SISU
show us where you want the NEW GROUND to be, if you do and it’s shown where the
council have blocked you, we will support your move of OUR team (temporarily).

TRUST
show us you are asking these questions and show us replies and you will have many more
join you and give you much more strenght to deal with the above groups.

Sorry for the rant, but i had to get this out off my head. I am just so fed up off ALL SIDES,
come on, please even if just one of WASPS/COUNCIL/SISU try to help and drop your
stance, we might just have a team to support for ourselves and more importantly the kids
who are now growing up.

I second this. I can't help but feel for my six year old so whose life is Coventry city football club, he's a bigger fan than most home fans, lives and breathes the club, yet here we are with the club's future in such disarray. Breaks my heart when he asks me "Daddy, do Cov have anywhere to play next season yet?"

Actually I am no longer sure we can reasonably expect SISU to drop the legals anymore. Nor am I sure I want them to.

I actually say "show us where you want the NEW GROUND to be, if you do and it’s shown where the
council have blocked you, we will support your move of OUR team (temporarily)." So if SISU have really tried to find land to build us a new ground and been blocked or stalled (on buildable) ground then i am behind them including legal action (even thought they may never win as if true what we read then it is morally wrong but legally maybe ok). BUT that needs to be shown, just in the same way i have asked the council to show either way.

Back-up your words, show us what you say is true (to both SISU/CCC) . All you are doing is destroying OUR club, for us and future generations. If SISU show us plans/ideas of available land, then i think most supporters would back them, if they don't then they are risking alienating us again.

Remember London Wasps first played at the Ricoh in 2007 in the Heineken Cup in front of 16,186 and the following season played Munster again in the Heineken Cup. Maybe that was where both/either London WASPS/CCC got the idea from to move/move them here.

I didn't know that. Well remembered/researched.

For me, the smartest move by any of them, would be for Wasps to offer a deal, but make it public (e.g. 3 years, no rent increase, or just plus inflation) They know the legals are here and not going away, and know CCFC have alternatives, so may as well take the rent, regardless. That will put SISU in a position where they either accept (great) OR they decline, at which point fans will see that they really are aiming for Wasps to go bust, through extra distress (whilst dumping on us fans)

You are absolutely correct pipkin sisu should identify the land they have identified to our council where they say a new ground could be built, we can then see perhaps how genuine they are to build and/or identify these so called five options to rent, again we the fans can identify how viable any ground share might be.

Revealing location of the land would be silly until the deal is complete, what I would like to know is why the Council have done nothing with this for 12 months and when they will? the silence is deafening! Come on CCC what's going on?

Just ignoring all his other points then? Are you part of the trust board by any chance?

He will get back to you when he is told what to reply.

Like an Indian Call Centre.

"What is the weather like over there today?"
"Pardon, I don't understand. Can you let me know the problem?"
"The weather, is it sunny?"
"Can you let me know the problem you are having sir?"

Go off script and it blows minds.

Although I find the guessing of potential sites entertaining I think that so long as SISU provide evidence of the land and that they have been seriously attempting to negotiate with CCC to the EFL and the EFL confirm that this has been done I would be happy with that.

No business should be revealing plans like that before a deal is done and I doubt that anyone on here has the expert knowledge to say whether a particular site is suitable or not other than guessing
