I'm sure they'd like us there - £100k+ per year plus added revenue from ACL is no small amount of money. But again, is there any evidence that they would allow us to buy into ACL? I see a lot of people here say that we need to get into partnership with Wasps - has there been even a suggestion...

I'm still confused as to what this 'partnership with Wasps' is supposed to be. Even assuming SISU had a change of heart and wanted to buy into ACL, is there any evidence anywhere that Wasps would want to sell? Edit: Just on the cost of land - the suggestion is upwards of £100,000 per acre for...

With respect Jack, rugby's not being priced out of London, but certain owners think they can make more elsewhere and the game's administrators are lax in taking control. The only team that's moved to the midlands, other than Wasps, are London Welsh - and that's turning out to be a utter...

The problem is SBT, is that if you don't keep it civil, then you run the very real risk that the door to the club is closed to the Trust as an organisation. You could make the case that that's fair enough because the club aren't listening anyway, but personally I wouldn't give the club the...

I haven't been on a CRFC away trip yet, but it's getting very tempting. The more relaxed attitude to booze probably helps on that front too. You'll have to let us know what it's like. :)

Again, not an unfair comment, but I think that the fact that Wasps have largely displaced CCFC at the Ricoh, and that there's already a well established rugby side in Coventry means that Wasps will have to live with the franchise tag a good while longer. And so they should, imho, that's exactly...

Fair comment this. I wouldn't deny that I've been to more games at the rugby than the footy recently, but personally I'd never go to Wasps and I'd much rather people didn't. Regardless the footy club is in an awful state now, and I'm not surprised that you and others will look elsewhere...

You can kid yourself all you want, but whilst I'd absolutely stand by your right to go (and others' too) Wasps will always be a franchise team, currently based in Coventry. Football might have been forgotten by you, and possibly the council (some of whom seem to regard the team as an awkward...

Ah, sadly I was around in the eighties (but I've done my best to destroy most of the photographic evidence of this). And you and tisza are bang on, it's a daft comparison for Fisher to make.

Hi Matty, appreciate you're not trying to provoke an argument, but I'll just make the polite point that there was a better chance of that happening and Cov getting in the Prem before Wasps landed on their doorstep. As an aside, CCFC being so crap probably isn't hurting CRFC's attendance either...

Why would you offer £10m for 20% of something that's just been sold to Wasps in it's entirety for around £6m? Are you saying the council have undersold ACL by over £40 million here? Tell you what Steve, how about this. You've made some contact with Wasps - why don't you ask them what they'd...

Funny, I only noticed two Wasps flags in the main stand, but there definitely was some overspill from Wasps - I met a couple in the bar just prior to the game, and there were others about wearing crisp new Wasps merchandise. Of course given this would likely have been a big attendance anyway...

Same here - free entry with the season ticket, and it was the only time I got to sit in the main stand. Boy, I must have been in love with the club then - I'm struggling to motivate myself to watch the first team nowadays.

Very nice of you to say so Astute - I think I better quit whilst I'm ahead! In fairness mate I know that everyone here is just trying to figure out a way through the pain. I'm not saying I've got any better ideas than anyone else - there's plenty here like you who make a lot of good points...

Kick off has been changed to 3:30 Wingy, if that helps. Suspect there will be a bit of a queue at the turnstiles though! I'll be there too, fwiw. With regard to the Telegraph on the rugby page in I counted ten articles about Wasps (including one that makes me want to puke frankly, talking...

And that's exactly what I'm talking about. If you went up to Fisher and said that, would you be surprised if he just ignored you. Sure, you'd feel better, but other than that where does this kind of approach actually get us?

I don't mind the trust holding a poll at all, at least there's an attempt to be democratic. However what strikes me is that once again the actions proposed aren't going to do anything other than alienate the club, who clearly already don't trust the Trust. How can you now sit down and talk...

I'm not sure the bank did reject it out of hand, but clearly they weren't going to sell it at the kind of discount SISU said that they'd want to buy it at in the original proposal. I think before any genuinely serious attempt was made by SISU the deal had already gone south because of the...

I don't think you would have been the person hitting me with the 'SISU apologist' line OSB, but some others here are a bit quick to chuck that one out without merit. I just thought I'd get my retaliation in first, so to speak. ;)

What other opportunities? What are the club missing out on?
