I'd be curious as to how many from Coventry are going. I know quite a lot coming from Brum (never football fans) and places like Leamington, Stratford & Warwick - again who were never really football fans in the 1st place. I still maintain it's largely a different fanbase for the 2 sports or...

define a wasps fan. Is it someone whose followed them for years and is travelling up from London? Or is it someone whose just been popping along to the Ricoh for the last 12 months or so?

A true icon. RIP.

it has become a thing recently with several clubs when at certain points in a game the crowd performs a mass tribute or protest depending on the clubs involved. e.g. liverpool walkouts over ticket prices. identify a significant number at which that minute in the game a mass action can take...

it's difficult. It's the normal cynical tactic of announcing bad news in the close season - made worse with the distraction of the upcoming European championships. To start with people (under CCC) actually have to find out who their local councillor is and (in a sensible way) put them on the...

never read them myself.

or maybe Joy why didn't you get Blatter & his mates to invest according to today's news they had the cash? what a load of bandits they were!

it'd probably be for Joy. what would you have done differently with hindsight?

it's back to the point about a different time and different values. What could have been paid for 50% in 2007 and what was paid for 100% (and a completely different set-up in all areas) in 2014 are just not comparable. would Wasps have paid 20m for a 100% and a 50 year lease back then (with a...

have access to the guaranteed 1m+ rent some stupid football club were paying at the time :greedy: (poor taste i know)

that is a good question

Robinson, Derek Higgs & McGinnity. think was Higgs Trust. Who knows - probably just running costs

repayment of loans to directors of 2m which was then lent back to club, 2.5m cleared a loan and 2m cash.

no - the reason they became the preferred bidder was that ACL etc. wasn't a condition of their buying CCFC.

Mr Fletcher said: "It also appears that favourable terms have been agreed in principle with two separate credible purchasers and CCFC's major shareholder Geoffrey Robinson." But the Telegraph understands that neither bidder would be acceptable to other parties involved. Mr Fletcher said: "The...

"The other was from a firm called Shapiro, which offered #26million but wanted the club to pay off its debts and the city council to give it a longer lease on the Ricoh Arena and some spare land to the north of the site. Mr McGuigan said that deal would have cost the council #4million of...

they did have the veto on who Higgs could sell their shares in the stadium to didn't they? would have influenced prospective buyers at the time of the takeover.

we have had a procession of supposedly talented chief execs, chairmen, directors etc. since SISU came. None seem to have been able to make much of a difference. So either the situation is just too impossible or the internal framework within which they are working is just too constraining. PS...

I just think we've found ourselves on the backfoot against a high-energy campaign from Wasps to establish themselves in the city. I think the Wasps perspective is all about themselves rather than a specific attack on the football club. Our plight is of no material interest to them whilst they...
