I'm in the trust, and there are a couple of things I don't like about that letter. First off, "Dear Tim" - that's not very professional, sorry, especially for an 'open' letter like this one. If you're going to make a set of formal statements and requests, then at least give the person that you...

That's the gamble that CCC and AEHC have chosen to take. Personally I don't feel obliged to support Wasps to back them in it. If the Ricoh ends up being turned into housing, or something else completely different now, so be it. I'd rather it was used by the club it was built for, but given...

CRFC just won ten on the bounce mate. Ten. How many more do they have to win before all of the people suddenly desperate to watch rugby in Coventry turn up at the Butts? And if you think Cov rugby are happy at the level they're at now, then clearly you've got no understanding of the game...

Otis mate, I take your point, but the more Wasps lose, the more likely the franchise is to fail. In the same way that it's just business to the owners, it's just business to me too. I don't wish current Wasps fans any ill, and I'm truly sorry that they find themselves in this situation. As...

It's not bitter mate, it's pragmatic. I want Wasps to fail because in the long run I think that offers the local football and rugby club a better chance of success. It also means something that I think is immoral, the franchising of a club away from it's core support, might ultimately fail. As...

If we can get some furniture around the edges and corners it should hold it down a bit - anybody got a spare sideboard kicking around? I'm going to guess that the landlord will insist that everyone going on the new pitch wears slippers, and I hope Tim's not expecting the damage deposit back...

C'mon mate, it's less security because now the club will never have a chance to buy into the Ricoh streams, regardless of who owns them. As for Wasps arrival meaning that we had to move back, I can't even begin to untwist that logic. I don't think anyone was aware of the Wasps deal until it...

In fairness mate he does pretty well. I mean have you tried typing in a strait-jacket? It's hell on your nose, capitalisation is particularly tricky, and Ctrl+Alt+Del is a total non-starter... ;)

Tell yer friends, I'm here all week. ;)

Might as well get some of the seeds too while we're at it. From what I understand it would calm the crowd down, increase snack sales, and we could sell a bit and use the profit to help fund a few new signings. In fact, isn't there a former Wasps player who could advise on the latter? They're...

Why would they need to? They've got the use of a facility that cost £118m to build, for less than £6m, and for 250 years. And with a sitting tenant contracted to boot, and naming rights still to come. It's just a pity that such a stonking deal was solely offered to the wrong team, imho.* Ho...

Yes, but it would keep the missus quiet during footy. There are some things that are worth risking armageddon for, surely. ;)

It is good news. I still don't like them being here, mind, but they don't dick about that's for sure. I'm guessing their expert took one look and said that by February the pitch would be more or less unplayable for either side. Fair play to them for acting quickly.

If it would shut the missus up I'd buy one tomorrow. However this presupposes that my driving is the *only* thing that generates complaints. Having said that, if my driverless car comes with a robot that can do DIY, mow the lawn, change nappies, take the rubbish out, and make well-thought out...

I believe October is traditionally the Wicker Man thing. Or is that just in Hinckley? Either way, I nominate Tim. ;)

Fair comment SFP, and I'm all in favour of peace and understanding - the one thing that's clear is that Wasps fans haven't got any blame in all this. Lovely as Coventry is at this time of year, I don't doubt you'd rather not have to come up here too often. ;) And you're quite correct to point...

This Wasps fan certainly doesn't see the move to Coventry as right... http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/oct/09/wasps-coventry-move-london-fans-rugby-union You might not have had a permanent home, but then I'm guessing that's true for a lot of rugby clubs. More than a few football teams...

Indeed. I get massively frustrated here, because people seem to think that challenging how the Council have gone about this seems to imply that this disregards what an absolute mess SISU have made of things. That's lazy thinking, and it's vaguely insulting to my mind - I won't accept being...

Rubbish. You've been asked the same, simple question three times, yes or no, and you won't answer it. It's not complicated, but it's embarassing seeing you squirm around like a politician trying to dodge the question so I'll answer it for you. Were SISU offered the same deal as Wasps, 100% of...

I completely agree that I'm wasting my breath G, and in truth I give up. If anyone here thinks that by asking hard questions of Wasps and CCC that I (or anyone else here) is somehow pro-SISU then frankly they aren't thinking straight. And that's about as politely as I can put it.
