    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Well if SISU had acted reasonably they could have had at least 50% if not all of ACL but they know best.

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    CCFC is a bigger entity than WASPS, an established club linked to the Coventry & Warwickshire area, WASPS have been nomadic have enjoyed relative success for a rugby club but shouldn't be able to compete with us as a business. In 5 months time we may be playing to home crowds of 6,000 with the...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Andreas - they were warned about the impact of Sixfields - but they went ahead, they spent more money onn lawyers and administrators than the squad having sild good players for good money, they keep talking about a fantasy stadium whilst a perfectly adequate stadium was sold to another club - we...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    OSB58 - I worked for a company taken over by private equity and these people were focussed took chances but generally were one of the smarter more savvy operators I have ever dealt with, I always thought SISU had a trick up their sleeve, some master plan that they would deliver on, I am now...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    I didn't approve of anything they did at Sixfields because unlike you I didn't go as for what WASPS are doing, they are here for the long term they need to grow the customer base, Sixfields move wasn't designed about growing customer base it was a strategic disaster and it wasn't the cash they...

    Ray is back

    Saw him sitting with the Hoffmeister, Orange Joe at the Brizzle game - I don't class him as SISU, only as a consultant that they used who new more about the professional game than they ever will - hope WASPS buys us from SISU and think RR with proper owners would be good.

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    As my sadness deepens on my journey to work in Northampton, as I loose CWR reception Radio Northants kicks in - with Stuart Linnel - in Northampton, Saints Rugby dominates, the adverts on BBC Northants are about following Saints with matchday commentary. Will WASPS dominate local sports...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    To think I thought the car journey home from Sutton Utd in 89 was as low as it could get. I sit near Richard from Bedworth who used to call in after every game, tried to engage him in a meaningful discussion at HT on Saturday but he got too upset and stormed off - a bizarre reaction but with...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Michael what is even more depressing is the number of fans turning their back on the club, die hard fans telling me that we are finished it was good while it lasted but that's it for them.

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Shuttle busses from Warwick Parkway to the Ricoh - I understand the need but that 15 mile Journey on a busy matchday will take ages. I'm not anti WASPS but all this news is further confirming our demise and if we were ever to have any local derbies again we would be the source of much ridicule...

    Upcoming Changes At The Ricoh

    Would the last sky blue fan leaving the Ricoh please turn the lights off, probably won't have to as one of the WASP'S butlers will do it for us as the sky blue fans leave via the tradesman entrance - as we won't be allowed near the new concierge. I'm no working class hero but I hope Lucas PWKH...

    Some more Ricoh questions

    I doubt it was for that much, it wasn't then and isn't now a desirable area, there has been a property boom since it was sold and we also need to remember it was rented back and I could be wrong on this but the rentals were close to or exceeded the sales price received - again could be very...

    "a busy January"

    There is no real incentive to sell Fleck as Rangers are due a lot of the transfer proceeds anyway

    Some more Ricoh questions

    Interesting debates over the weekend re the Ricoh not sure I was certain of my facts Q1 how much rent did we pay since the Ricoh opened including the amount settled as part of our admininstration Q2 how much did CCFC pay into the Ricoh project before it was taken over by the Council in 2002...

    Fleck; The new Kevin Thornton

    In a 2 man midfield you need a good defensive midfielder to allow fleck the freedom to try to dictate the game, wasted on the wing has no pace was however still better than that madman on the right, JOB can't believe what I saw from him yesterday

    Is this Waggott's big test

    RFC old chap waiting for the stadium, it will take a minimum of 3 years most likely 5 years do you think there will be much of a club left to support a £30m investment - I think we all know its a fantasy stadium
