Yes, it’s priceless isn’t it? I love the fact that he said this having walked into the meeting late and missed what Cllr. Maton had to say!

If discussions have taken place which weren’t “formal”, Mr. Fisher must have gone down to the Planning department clutching a couple of maps with crayon on them, like a schoolboy doing a geography project.

To adapt what Saint would have said to Greavsy, “You kill me Dan, you really do”:)

I 100% share all of these concerns with the Trust.

Having had a go at our owners, I’d really like to emphasise the positive side of this. What prompted my original post was this – if Fisher is even discussing the reasons why he doesn’t want to get into bed with Wasps (ouch!), it does suggest that it is STILL possible. So to hear him say they...

I suspect that’s the case, and the way the bid was framed it looked awfully like it was only done for appearances’ sake. I think Grendel will probably agree with that, even if he sees it in a different way which I respect. Here’s Fisher’s comment on that from the same minutes. To me it just...

Minutes of the Stadium Forum Committee, 21st January 2015TF was asked whether the club could buy 50% of the Ricoh. TF said that it is unlikely that a deal can be done re a share of the ownership of the Stadium with Wasps. TF confirmed that the club’s owners and Directors are not prepared to take...

RFC - "No mention of CCC virtually giving it away £2:7m, oh sorry I forgot they also managed to ditch their £14m loan on them as well (with a reduced payment term, 20yrs instead of 43yrs).! Nice move." Is it just me, or are you making two completely contradictory arguments in the same...

Seppala only inquires after the results once a week … ... and having been told “Brilliant, exceptional, absolutely outstanding”, presumably thinks we are top of the table.

"The planning application could be straightforward or painful" We are talking about CCFC, right?

Maybe it was full of chalk or something before? They should reinstate the old recipe, which gave the “end product” a nice firm texture – dry enough to use it for a quick game of footy without getting your school shoes in a mess. But you try telling the youngsters of today that and they won’t...

I take Ms Garlick to mean that a land deal announcement is still coming. The details of these FAILED sites are being released in the meanwhile, to (very belatedly) demonstrate that other attempts have been made over the last couple of years. Unfortunately the 3 sites mentioned appear to have...

I meant CCFC buying rights to revenues from Wasps or (better) somebody else bringing the two clubs and the stadium together.

So these are three sites we are NOT going to buy, which is interesting - but what about the actual location which we are still told is coming. I notice that Cllr Maton was mentioned – isn’t he on the City Council? It would indeed be a pleasant surprise if a site could be found “in town”. For...

It’s at least a good thing that these details are now coming out. What’s utterly baffling is that this information could surely have been released as soon as each site turned into a failure, saving an awful lot of ridicule and reputational damage. Have the new PR guys had a word in Mr...

"White dog poo" dates you a bit Northern - I haven't seen any of that since about 1971! Whatever happened to that much-loved feature of the British street scene?

You may “LOL”, but in my view you’ve completely misjudged this. A quick look at the Wasps forum (not something I intend to do regularly) reveals Irish fans asking about the best hotels & restaurants to use for their visit. Wasps have turned these big European games, which they are pretty much...

In all seriousness, if SISU can deliver a great new atmospheric stadium which is clearly part of Coventry (the exact administrative boundary doesn’t matter much to me) and an ambitious team to go with it, I will happily congratulate them and will be first in line for a season ticket when it...

You're more succinct than me KingoKings!

I’m not being confrontational here G, but are you saying that Tim was just saving face, and that SISU would actually have paid £5.4 million for ACL and agreed to keep the £14 million loan in place as Wasps have done? They’ve always regarded ACL as a worthless basket case (chucking in a rent...
