    Sorry shmmee, talking about Canley station here - which is definitely t'other side of the A45 (there is a subway under it for the brave and reckless though, iirc). I'd say there's still a slice of land between the station and the posh side of the A45, that might still be considered 'Canley'...

    Tommy Robinson

    Just to help out with the terminology here: English living abroad = ex-pat Foreigner living in England = immigrant Ex-pats are expected to live in their own enclaves, and make a virtue out of not learning the language or following the local customs (especially if the local custom is to avoid...

    I think I'd have to politely differ here, Mark. Canley to Warwick's main campus is a fair trek, and you have to cross the A45. Canley to any part of Warwick Uni that hasn't yet been built on (i.e. that could hold a stadium), would need a base camp and a kilo of Kendal Mint Cake, if you wanted...

    Match Thread Coventry v Rangers

    Some opposition fans are quite good sports and it’s fun to have them on here, and some are arrogant pricks who you can’t wait to get bored and disappear. Guess which camp you fall into sunshine...

    Match Thread Coventry v Rangers

    Well if they’re not close to sharp and at full strength now then they ought to worry - their season starts next week. That was our first game in 140 days, according to the commentary...

    Wasps Statement

    i.e. “I’m too lazy and careless to bother doing any research but I’m pretty sure I’m right anyway.”

    Match Thread Coventry v Rangers

    I enjoyed that, in truth - we’re five weeks behind them in terms of preparation and there isn’t anyone out there letting the side down. Back line looks well organised and willing to get stuck in, midfield of Kelly and Hamer is very promising. 2-0 is no disgrace. If we played them again in a...

    Wasps Statement

    I honestly don't recall any NDAs for the club purchase - only having to give up our shares to allow it to go through. Regardless, I don't see that it changes things - somewhere here isn't telling the whole truth, quite possibly both sides. Either side can ask for the NDA to be dropped - if...

    Wasps Statement

    You could well be right but if I was running CCFC's PR and that was the case, I'd be making it a lot more public that we want to drop the NDA and allow the facts of the proposed deal speak for themselves.

    Maton at it again

    There are some decent councillors out there - I've met them. Some do the job out of an old-fashioned desire to help other people and improve the City, some do it to raise their own profile and climb the greasy pole into political office, and some do it because of the opportunities for...

    Wasps Statement

    Also, something that made me smile wryly (my piss having long since boiled away to steam), Wasps, formerly London Wasps, had the brass bollocks to say this... Ho ho ho. Hello pot, have you met kettle?

    Wasps Statement

    Just to summarise then, Wasps say... CCFC say... Personally, I sense there's a play on words going on here in regard to Wasps' definition of indemnity, and I find it hard to believe that the club wouldn't play at the Ricoh if there's an offer on the table broadly equivalent to the deal we...

    Wasps Statement

    Pedant alert: I think it's Richardson at Wasps - wasn't Robinson our sugar daddy? :) Regardless, even if there was an endless supply of money (which there clearly isn't, hence the bond issue), rugby operates a salary cap so it wouldn't make it to the playing side. Another twitter numpty with...

    Watching the Rangers Game

    I think it would be a public duty to say something like, “I can’t believe they’re showing this for free on <link here>, surely this shouldn’t be allowed?” How will people learn if they’re not told. :)

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Have a like, because I appreciate the effort to explain it. I’ll need to have a read through to get my head around it because I’m absolutely knackered in all honesty. It’s probably the excitement of some stadium news that doesn’t seem completely fictional! :)

    Russia Report

    It's odd isn't it. The same people who raged endlessly (and usually, incorrectly) about interference from the EU in regard to things like straight bananas have nothing to say at all in regard to Russian interference in our core domestic processes. Is it just me, or does Mr Cummings three years...

    Lord no, many thanks but I waste enough time already on here! :)

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Fair point, but two things to add here. The complaint to the EU was and is not legal action, and it cannot be dropped, I'd never picked up that Wasps were asking for indemnity against future legal action on the back of a successful complaint. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd be genuinely...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    To give credit where it's due, SISU have had no problems with landlords other than ACL/CCC and Wasps. And let's be honest about that, it's clear that all of the parties involved in that fiasco were playing their own grubby little games. For my money, you'd be daft to shake hands on a deal with...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    They're just not getting it on the Wasps forum, are they? Unless I've completely misunderstood the club agreed to cease legal action, but the complaint to the EU cannot be dropped. The sticking point then became Wasps insistence on an indemnity clause, in case Coventry City Council were found...
