Crikey, you've got incredible eyesight. Are you an Elf? :)

Wasps moving to Coventry was wrong at every level. I'm sorry for the people whose jobs might be at risk, but their actions before and since moving here means that anyone who supports them or (like John Dalziel, stadium announcer for Wasps) has profited directly from the move, is in no place...

We didn't have a £35m debt secured against our primary asset either. They're all out of wriggle room, that's why they've gone for Administration.

You're having a laugh, surely? Do you remember us playing in Birmingham? Do you remember Wasps promising to play on Sundays so as to not impact CRFC? Do you remember the Council talking about rebuilding trust with the club before discussing ownership of the stadium? You are Kevin Maton and I...

That statement is pretty much exactly the same as they've been saying since before the bonds were due for repayment.

I can see them dodging relegation - they'll claim it's all down to Covid (conveniently ignoring their endless years of losses and then the borrowing of £35m at 6.5% with no real idea of how to pay it back). The RFU will conspire with them because... well that's what the RFU do, look after their...

What a day. Will the good news never end!

There is exactly that clause in the lease CD, it was even in the bond prospectus as a risk. There may well be a proper legal bunfight between the bondholders and CCC over this in due course. (That's as long as the person at Wasps working Maton's gob takes his arm out of his arse for a while...

I'm not sure Worcester fans (best described as 'long-suffering') would agree. I wonder if a ground share would suit both parties though. Time for Wasps to pull that 'nomad' card again?

Well that's never going to catch on hereabouts, is it. :)

Quite possibly, but if you haven't already understood the visceral dislike of (London) Wasps pitching up here, fucking over the local rugby and football club, and disenfranchising their own supporters, I guess it's a bit late for me to try to explain.

And are 100% secured against the bonds I believe. Blimey, if only someone had told me how exciting accountancy could be when I was at school. I wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to make it as a fighter pilot. :)

So other than the immense satisfaction, where does this leave us, CCFC? Basically, as I see it anyway, at least where we already are and maybe even slightly better off. Our sub-lease remains on the same terms, and whoever takes over the CBS, be that the Council, the bondholders, or an as yet...

Just to add. The fuckwits running the council sold our club down the river for this bunch of slimy bastards. All for what. Kevin Maton, Kevin Maton, your team took a hell of a beating...

Why on earth would we want to get involved with the utter moral disgrace and complete financial ruin that is Wasps (and pretty much Premiership rugby as a whole)? That would be madness. It might however be a good time for a substantial investor to step in and negotiate taking on a 250-year...

This can't be right. A leader of the sole party of true patriotism, law and order, and common decency, obviously off his tits at the Queen's funeral? Surely some mistake.

Don't forget pounds, ounces, noggins and groats. We shouldn't sell Brexit short now...

Bile and hatred? Get over yourself mate, just some people thinking that it's a bit over the top. If anyone's showing their intolerance and anger here it's you. My vote for the worst people in society are the current breed of forelock tugging Tory wankers who will happily see the poorest and...

I'm not convinced either, two stands completely empty, and one less than half full. More like 4,000 perhaps. Wasps have got plenty of form for being less than honest with their attendances, and with good reason if they're hoping to attract someone daft enough to throw money at them...

Busy in the corporates too... :)
