I for one would be up for a move to the Butts if it united the fans and put an end to all this shit. It would obviously have to be a proper stadium though, and if Fisher wants to get the fans on board with it he needs to stop speaking in riddles and just put in an application so we can all see...

Nope, because we certainly never became a Northampton club, and the fans fought tooth and nail to get CCFC back where everybocy knew they clearly belonged. Compare and contrast. Ask yourself the question, where should Wasps play? And if the most precise answer you can come up with is...

Except that 80% of season ticket holders were from the High Wycombe area: http://www.rugbynetwork.net/boards/read/s130.htm?129,14938011 It’s not surprising – if a rugby club from Birmingham moved to an industrial estate in Stratford on Avon, how many Brummies would still be regularly attending...

I’ve made this argument before and got crucified for it, and no doubt will again. A lot of the things on this thread would make perfect sense if Wasps were not already a franchise before the Coventry move. They went a long way out of London to Wycombe (which already had, and still has, a rugby...

Thought in his first couple of games that he looked a good player and decent acquisition, but he got a lot of stick because of the lack of goals. Strikers take time to settle, and if he could grow in confidence and start delivering the goods it would make a massive difference to the team.

Not even the organisation (CCFC) for which a stake in the stadium business was strategically crucial, which had relinquished that stake, and whose owners knew the agreed terms of buying back in before they took over?

You've just passed 60 years then OldFiver? Congratulations from someone with a mere 50-something on the clock:)

No - I don't think I've met her have I?

Have I misunderstood the term?

All of a sudden, more information from Fisher in one meeting than we’ve had over several years. As part of this new-found openness, Mr. Fisher would do himself a favour by backing up the claim that a 23-25K stadium can be accommodated at the Butts. I dare say it’s technically achievable, but...

Nail on head. SISU had two choices - prove their good intentions, and work to build from the inside (on terms that knew about when they took over). Or try to be clever by attempting to bring the whole thing down from the outside.

This is the Ryton thread, right?! I did a bit of digging on the involvement of Sport England in Planning Applications (https://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/planning-for-sport/development-management/planning-applications/). There are lots of links and policy documents, but to try...

Well I think Fisher did say something about moving to a more modern and inspiring environment. It’s a question of how much faith you place in his pronouncements, which (to put it kindly) always seem to leave room for interpretation.

4th guffaw of the week kindly provided by Hill83. Luckily I had just put down my mug of minestrone soup before I saw it, or there could have been little tomatoey pasta hoops everywhere.
