    Wasps

    If the rumours are right, the rent we are paying is minimal so cannot be a key part of wasps business strategy when they need to be covering the £3m losses they've been making each season and presumably they would like to make a lot more than that to turn wasps into a truly top franchise. No one...

    RATINGS v Colchester ?

    tbh I'd say no one played particularly badly and nor were there any stand out performances. Colchester were very poor, we got better as the game went on but in the end the difference was the goal which gave a whole new dimension to the meaning of scruffy. After getting the goal we dominated but...

    5 hours to remain optimistic about an away win (and forget about London rugby clubs, journos, scoreboards etc etc). Second half against Peterboro we were absolutely excellent. Didn't seem to be any great tactical genius just an early goal instilling confidence. How professional players can be so...

    Colchester Match Thread

    Anyone know a decent hangover cure? The older you get the recovery time after drinking seems to get longer and longer. I have a vague recollection of predicting an away win. Serious evidence of taking complete leave of my senses

    Colchester Match Thread

    Feels like it's been a shitty week on this forum with a reversion to arguments that were done to death a long time ago, so...anyone else going to CUFC? I was feeling v pessimistic earlier in the week but the pre-match optimism is kicking in. Any chance of an away win? (I may have had a drink. Or...

    Never thought I would see the day....

    In the build up to a City game I always feel optimistic or at the very least fall back on 'it's 11 v 11, you never know what'll happen on the day' etc etc. But I'm going to Colchester and unless someone can come up with a reason to think differently it just seems like a nailed on poor...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    Your grendel impression gets even better - anyone who disagrees with you is a mad man!!!! You are unable to provide a single fact to back up your argument and then anyone who points out wasps is wrong in principle and in the negative material impact it will have on CRFC alone, is dismissed as...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    You're doing a grendel, avoiding the question and asking a different question to divert attention. You said "From a business and commercial point of view, it was too good a deal for the Council to turn down IMO." I asked how on earth you can say that when the details are secret - your lack of an...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    What i think many people quite reasonably expected was a period of calm, allowing everyone to draw breath after sixfields and then start a rebuilding process. It was constantly stated that acl was doing fine financially so there seemed no need for an immediate sale to anyone at all - certainly...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I am anti wasps and come to the same view! I can see some people reverting to away games only not cos of a boycott/principle but to avoid what a depressing experience watching ccfc playing home games in someone else's home looks like it'll be

    So let's give it a go...ccc are no longer involved and sisu should go too; wasps should also buzz off (and I agree that their survival at the Ricoh is far from certain); the Trust should work with local business people to put together a fan led ownership model drawing on the experience of others...

    Victory for the City of Coventry yesterday

    Nick and LAST - is it possible to agree on some absolute basics? E.G. (1) we are in a dire position; (2) sisu are not good for ccfc (3) the council-wasps deal is not good for CRFC nor CCFC; (4) wasps do not belong in Coventry?
