It gets pretty rammed Andy, no guarantee that you and your mate will be able to find seats next to each other. ;) Joking aside, have a good day mate - and enjoy your 92 experience. I think you should do it in fancy dress, personally. A pantomime horse would probably be most appropriate for...

Actually, that's not really the way it should work. When selling public assets the council has a statutory duty to obtain the most that it can for them. I think that most people would consider that the best way to do that would be to put them on the open market - or at least offer all...

Actually there were a number of different options available to them in London, not least of which was developing a stadium in conjuction with Brentford. That's as close to Wasps original West London location as you'd like, but Wasps owner apparently saw Coventry as a better financial option...

Pipped me to it. Got to be scope for a prank call here... "I've got a load of Wasps I need you to get rid of... My address? Yes, it's the Ricoh Arena, CV... " :)

It was never tested because the council at the very point they were saying they wanted to wait and build trust before talking about ownership with CCFC, had secretly done a deal with Wasps. That's not a theory, that's a fact.

I'm well aware of that - although it's much the same as people saying they'll never support SISU going to games too. Are you supporting SISU by going to home games, Bazza? Presumably you are - and I am too. I'm aware that some of my money ends up in Wasps' pockets by supporting the club...

Seeing all of those logos for a franchise rugby team with no connection to the city, at the home for the football team, makes my skin crawl personally. I don't think the day will ever come when I'll accept it, and I'll never knowingly give any support to Wasps whilst they're here. No one here...

Plant just needs a little time to flower, then he'll bed in just fine. He's more a late bloomer than a hardy perennial. (Sub-editors everywhere are quietly praying that he makes the first team.) :)

Not saying you're wrong FP, but it would be madness not to add more trains or carriages for special events. However, you do wonder. They'll certainly need that crowd control if they're trying to get more than 70 people an hour away from the stadium with the current service!

Looks promising to me - obviously quick and seems to know where the goal is. I'm not convinced he's a number 10 either looking at the brief YouTube clips, definitely seems to prefer running in behind defenders and scoring. I can't see how it will hurt us to have him. Would still like a proven...

This is Wasps, right? That was down to the Council because they sold them the Ricoh - you might remember the deal, it was in the papers and everything. The difference between Wasps and Aston-Martin is that most everyone would accept that AM coming here would be a good thing. There's no issue...

Right. Were the council similarly responsible for Jaguar and Peugeot upping sticks and costing Coventry tens of thousands of jobs then? It's ridiculous to imply either, in truth. The council should be doing everything they reasonably can to keep jobs coming to the city, that's one of the...

Yep - and once they've finished they do a quick change and then clean your patio. :)

We were mate, but in the end we lost 5-2. Mowbray out! :)

I know the feeling mate, but I bet you're still quicker than me. I reckon you should give it a whirl. It's not the playing that really hurts me these days, it's the day(s) after...

It's not a proper sandwich until you put crisps in it. Just eating them on their own doesn't count.

Being around that kind of age, I know a few lads who do it. Some, like me, are still playing five-a-side as well as walking football. You need to be over 50 for most of the games I've heard of, and I'm told the standard is pretty reasonable, and it can be fairly competitive without being daft...

What a mess. The deal to sell the Ricoh to Wasps doesn't look anywhere near as good for the City if it ends up costing the council more than they got for it. Just to be clear here, regardless of how I feel about what's gone on I don't want millions of pounds of Council money ending up in...

It's an interesting thought, but I doubt it could work this way. Maybe some sort of prior, out-of-court settlement might work along those lines prior to the case, but SISU are all about the money and nothing else I suspect. I am utterly pissed-off by the council for how they handled the sale...

Bless 'em, that is a tad embarassing. It's good to see that they could get a picture of that Grealish lad standing up though, he seemed to struggle with that over the summer. ;)
