You'd think that, but maybe the crowd provided the perfect cover via the discarded cigarette argument that the investigator accepted. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/15/bradford-fire-martin-fletcher-stafford-heginbotham I don't know the truth of it, I don't think anyone does, but...

But Torchy, I can't smile without you... :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebSYPnllFx8

I still think that we'll go to Crawley with a mathematical chance of relegation - but that it would take a remarkable set of results on the last day for it to happen, and therefore we'll end up safe. Being Coventry we won't do this the easy way, we have to have something to worry about on the...

It's a franchise. It's just embarassing that he'd pretend it's anything else. As for all of the other bullshit around "we looked at other areas", come off it, where else was there a 32,000 seater stadium available for the £5.7m Wasps paid? Wasps didn't have to move, it was all about money...

Naah, what's sad is pretending that Wasps isn't a franchise to justify getting one over on SISU. And then some even advocating that we sell the club to them because somehow Wasps have become model owners and champions of the city of Coventry at home and abroad. Or is that just embarassing...

As for Wasps paying off the loan in full, that's good news for the taxpayer I'd say - as long as the council aren't loaning them the money to do it. ;) I wonder if this means that there is some nervousness from CCC/Wasps about the next proposed JR by SISU. It's academic if the loan is paid...

If I can borrow twenty quid off you mate, I'll have four. :)

My gut feel is that Mowbray at least sends the team out with the intent to try to win games. Sometimes I got the feeling that SP was more worried about trying not to lose. For all of that I don't think SP was quite as bad as some are saying, but I'd certainly rather have Mowbray.

More bars are always welcome I'd say. Drinking in the casino is a soulless experience. As for Wasps succeeding or failing, I still think it's wait-and-see. I suspect that is the club's plan too, given the singular lack of progress on the new stadium. We are where we are, and it's all a lot...

If this is some sort of attempt to call me a SISU apologist, then you're talking rubbish Hobo, and you know it. I'm pointing out that Wasps haven't been able to give us permanent space for retail, and on that basis I think it's highly unlikely that a deal for the much more serious business of...

There's no conspiracy here, it's just the simple point that Wasps aren't going to give us anything, and they are clearly a hard-headed commercial organisation in it for themselves. What tires me out is the pretence from many here that it is somehow different - that we only need to ask Wasps for...

The evidence here is that the club have asked for permanent space, and Wasps have knocked us back. It's a bit of a leap to say this is down to the club solely - if Wasps are so keen to have us as partners, as is oft claimed here and elsewhere, surely this would be a simple enough request to...

Which distracts not a jot from my point here. Our merchandise is crap, given. That isn't linked to the fact that we've asked Wasps for permanent space and haven't got it.

Permanent space. That's what the club say they have asked them for. Wasps don't seem to be able to meet their requirements. Do you think this bodes well for coming to an agreement on say revenue streams? It just makes me laugh how many people say that we just need to ask Wasps for stuff and...

Why did they make the disastrous decision to move us to Sixfields against our fans wishes? A: Apparently because the original Ricoh deal was unsustainable. Also, because they don't care about the fans wishes. This, of course, is precisely the same as Wasps' owners - I look forward to PSB...

I can't think of anywhere that isn't either private land belonging to ACL or the shopping centre that would work for what you're talking about here. Unlike Wembley, there isn't a single route into the ground that all fans feed into. They could presumably put a temporary unit on ACL's car park...

I'm not blaming Wasps for how crap the merchandising situation is, I'm just pointing out that those saying that we've just got to ask Wasps for stuff and we'll get it are talking rubbish. If they can't even give us a bit of merchandising space, then how likely is it that they'll share their...

But surely all we've got to do is ask, and Wasps will give us whatever we want. Anyone want to tell me again that Wasps will do us a great deal on the rent, or even better give us a cut of the ACL 24/7/365 revenue?

We're very big in North Korea, specifically in the gulags as punishment for the miscreants who aren't breaking rocks quickly enough. They've also got us on the big screen at Calais, to deter the flow of asylum seekers. :)

I must confess that I'm now following Wasps progress with a lot more interest than I used to, this in the hope that they lose every game that they play. I don't hate them, or their fans, or their players, even in the slightest. I just hate the fact that they're a franchise club, and even worse...
