No because that's a ridiculous as the pretence that there's nowhere to build a stadium in the whole of RBC's patch. Which I think we've shown is a bollocks argument, frankly. Whether it makes sense financial sense or not is a different story entirely, but I get a bit tired of people saying "I...

We've been here before NW. I worked on a big industrial/warehousing/fleet movements site in Long Lawford close to where the Church Lawford airfield was. Plenty big enough to build a stadium on, and miles and miles away from the river, and about a mile off the A45. No floods there. (Edit...

It's entirely relevant, but you're trying to say that it's impossible, perhaps because you'd like to believe it isn't going to happen. But it clearly isn't impossible. There are locations in RBC where a stadium could be built, and a few have been highlighted here straight off the bat. It's a...

There are mixed/industrial sites with reasonable infrastructure that could be redeveloped in RBC, and some have been highlighted here. Politely, just because they don't meet your preferences in terms of location etc. doesn't make them unrealistic. I'm not for a moment saying that a new stadium...

We've already mentioned sites around Long Lawford/Church Lawford too, that might be possiblities. Currently mixed industrial/warehousing, just off the A45. Regardless of whether we should build a new stadium, it's daft to pretend that there aren't places where a stadium could be built.

So Wasps didn't really need to own somewhere to be successful then? Why did their owner turn down similar offers to the Madjeski in and around London, one wonders. He's justified the move to the Ricoh by saying Wasps wouldn't survive unless they owned their own stadium - surely he's not lying...

Personally speaking I'd like an experienced keeper, plus Leon Clarke and Jake Cassidy (both of whom know where the net is). Then a bit of pace down the flanks, a player with grit in centre midifield, plus someone to cover Reda if we're keeping him. So basically, a new team then. ;)

The high rising terminal? Which implies a question where there isn't one? As in... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtVjRG7PB_4

His hair would probably fall out first, if he saw his old pupils putting spaces before punctuation marks! ;) It has gone quite quiet though, to go back to the OP. I'm starting to think it ain't going to happen...

Simon, Don't get me wrong, but we've had more than a few dreamers say they want to takeover the club, buy the arena, etc. etc. What it tends to do is build up fans' hopes, only to dash them again later. I don't think that's a particularly nice thing to do, personally. On that basis, I think...

Utter rubbish. I know a bit about mortgages and lending, having worked in consumer banking and credit risk for a good few years. No bank in this country offers you a mortgage based on your asset value (or at least not any more) - they lend it you based on your ability to repay (edit: as...

I'm not saying that at all - I'm saying that the right course was the one the council outlined on our return, pause and build trust. Instead they sold it to a franchise. As if that's not bad enough, then there's this pretence that she's sad about it. Get real. It's absolutely fair enough to...

Anyone who likens the bond issue to a house purchase hasn't got a clue about either one or the other. You wouldn't be able to get a mortgage to buy a house if you showed that you consistently were in debt and relied on your father-in-law to bail you out every few years. However, you might be...

Sad my arse. If she cared about the club then she could have done what CCC said they were going to do, sit tight and build trust before talking about ownership. Instead they encouraged, of all things, a franchise club to buy ACL in secret. It's absolutely cowardly, this pretence to care about...

With our strikers you could give them real bullets, it's not likely that they'll hit the target anyway. ;)

That doesn't really make sense does it? Grendel doesn't profit directly from Wasps being here, other people possibly do. If true, it's easy to see why that might slant their opinions. I'm not saying that it does, by the way, I have no idea of the circumstances here - but you'd have to admit...

Two lies, one about ACL profitability, one about rebuilding trust before discussing ownership with the club. Two sodding great lies on public record - and yet you continue to pretend otherwise. Let's move on to the Wasps love-in. With regard to the 'high profile for Coventry', remind me where...

Forgive me, but this is bullshit. At what point after we returned from Northampton, and before the sale to Wasps was the sale of ACL opened to all bidders? This is delusional. The council said come back and rebuild trust, and negotiated to sell ACL to Wasps in secret at exactly the same time...

It's OK, I'm going to stick the internet on a disk and post it to them. :)

In your opinion. Even if you took a purely financial view, then if we lose CCFC in Coventry as the result of selling to Wasps, then it's going to cost the city more than it gains. If you move beyond the purely financial and look at the moral obligations of the council, then as a council tax...
