    Anyone have a favoured foreign team ?

    Celta Vigo - los celestes - they are the Spanish sky blues :)

    designed and delivered in three years

    Have been away on holiday this last week but read this forum from time to time. Kind of let me stand back a little. The prime function it seems to me of TF is not stadium locating but division management, and that works very well judging from what I see on here. What he says often has an...

    CCFC advertising events at the Ricoh

    The logo would imply it is coming from and with the clubs permission. Perhaps its part of the rent agreement. This has happened for other events in the past.

    Steve Brown steps down

    Good luck to him. He has put a lot of effort, time and money in to trying to change things for the better. He has taken a lot of stick and abuse from fans and others. Yet still wants to try to make a difference. Some may think his efforts failed, I wouldn't agree, but at least he tried You...

    no one, be it owners, council, directors, investors, should have used or be using our club in the manner they have or are still doing. To us CCFC is much more than a tool in clever wheeler dealing one-upmanship. Its about passion, belonging, identity and above all a love for our team and...

    Think we can all agree that the breaking of the Ricoh lease was a planned event with a known legal process and known outcome....... administration. Personally I think it was a clever plan and I haven't seen anything in it that was illegal, it was use of the legal process However that process to...

    Latest SCG Minutes

    Just my opinion................... There is really nothing new in what is being said. There are elements of truth, some nonsense, some poetic licence & embellishment, contradictions with previous statements and to be honest nothing much of substance. More words, with little proof and even less...

    QUOTE="Warwickhunt, post: 1179437, member: 4907"]In all this banter no one is questioning why the council sold our assett(Coventry Taxpayers) so cheaply to the WASP's! All this About SISU shit is not giving me that answer. If they had sold it for £42 million the correct valuation I would not...

    More news on Ryton

    sorry if I am being a bit cynical CD but the idea of moving the first team there as expressed by CA was after the transfer of the site to CAWAT and Wasps confirmed involvement. Cant help thinking it was a statement by CA to try make people think again rather than a plan. Did CSF actually get...

    More news on Ryton

    So taking the report (plus previous ones) and what was said at face value. The intention is to have this modern integrated site that covers the first team and academy needs. That the site at Ryton is not big enough. That the process has been on going for sometime. We know that the sale of Ryton...

    What is Norman Smurthwaite's angle?

    Am I the only one that thinks an owner of another club should concentrate on his club not be passing comments on a competitor in this manner. Selling Ryton gives ARVO money yes but leaves a professional club with nowhere to train. Ryton will be sold and ARVO will benefit in my opinion In my...

    £6-7m sale price?

    I think uniting CCFC with the stadium is some way down the list of priorities that Wasps have or had. Their focus is on the Rugby Club and driving the off field incomes at the stadium. CCFC is a small part of that, and the bigger and more entrenched Wasps become the less important CCFC are to...

    £6-7m sale price?

    of course you could turn it around, what if the whispers are wrong what if the valuation remains unchanged or improves what if the bond covenants are met or exceeded what if the group is profitable and has turned it round from last years losses I suspect there would be some raised eyebrows...

    £6-7m sale price?

    Fail to see where the wording guarantees like for like replacement of the Ryton facilities. There might have been more detailed wording in correspondence that does but that would require an FOI wouldn't it. Of course the club could clear it up easily themselves couldn't they Strange that a post...

    £6-7m sale price?

    The FL looks first and foremost at getting the fixtures completed, then look at protecting its members, then paying lip service to the fans and grass root football. Personally I wouldn't rely on the FL doing anything, especially not if said action brings with it the real threat of legal action...

    Tim Fisher

    I would think that "brand" value has been declining consistently over the last decade as the problems mount, and the competition cuts in to previously safe markets. It wont begin to consistently climb again until there is success on the pitch and new owners - just my opinion

    £6-7m sale price?

    It only affects the group or Compass if on the 23 match days they can not put other events on. I think the spend in 2015 per head on F&B from football supporters was something like 1.97 per head (disclosed in Wasps accounts) that equates to £480k. take out the VAT, the wages to staff the...
