    "How do I tell my son/daughter they can't go to the match

    Was a comment from GVA to the Telegraph. Suspect it is still on their site if you want to search for it. The point I was making was just because a site is over the border doesn't mean it is beyond the reach of CCC's influence.

    "How do I tell my son/daughter they can't go to the match

    For planning only up to the border but they have a say if it impacts the cities infrastructure. If you recall we were looking at Brandon at one point. CBRE indicated an agreement had been made, the landowner confirmed (without mentioning the football club by name), Rugby council also confirmed...

    England cricket 2019

    Think they might need to look at this issue with the ball keep hitting the stumps without the bails coming off. Is happening way too often and only a matter of time before it has a major impact on the result.

    Could they be still talking

    There's no way SISU, or any future owner, will indemnify Waspa and the council. That is a completely unrealistic request. There's no way to stop the EC investigation. That is a completely unrealistic request. SISU have already "signed an undertaking to irrevocably cease all proceedings...

    "How do I tell my son/daughter they can't go to the match

    I struggle to see a way back. It either needs Wasps to do a complete 180 or a new stadium. The council seem to be unwilling to do anything but the absolute minimum required by law when it comes to a new stadium. That means if, and its a huge if, SISU actually are going to build a stadium we...

    Some Boddy Is Furious

    It's council owned land. Before you apply for planning permission you would want some indication they are prepared to sell the land. No different to what they did for Wasps. Still, its a bit unreasonable to expect the football club to get similar treatment.

    Some Boddy Is Furious

    Its not just you. This is a perfect example of a major issue. Anything that doesn't fit with the desired narrative is pushed aside and forgotten about never to be mentioned again by the local media. That passes through to fans who are having an alternative version of events constantly pushed.

    Why will they not sell up

    We don't have any of those. You've listed reason someone might want to take over Wasps. How does that make us a better option than other cities? Plenty of one city clubs and plenty of clubs with Premier League history. The player investment needed at CCFC is no different to any other club.

    Why will they not sell up

    Why would they apply for planning with no indication from the council they will sell the land to the club? Is it too much to ask of the council that the football club gets the same treatment as Wasps. They've given them an option on land for a hotel once planning is approved.

    Does Anne Lucas still go to games?

    No idea but the current council leader definitely goes to the Ricoh. Shame its not to watch us.

    They're at it again

    Which club are going to get the blame this time?

    Some Boddy Is Furious

    Exactly, but all that has to happen is someone says 'but SISU' and all pressure is off the council again and they are left to do whatever they want no matter how much is screws over the club.

    Why will they not sell up

    Not a great deal but I suspect you're not asking what is the cost of buying Otium but rather what is the cost of buying the assets while leaving behind the debt and that is the problem. If you buy the assets the debt doesn't disappear, that remains in the old company. Any deal will have to...

    Why will they not sell up

    If you were interested in buying a football club and you weren't a CCFC fan what would make you want buying us a better option than every other club in the country?

    Why will they not sell up

    The same one that got us into this mess with Ranson? Do you seriously believe if Hoffman made a genuine offer for an amount SISU deem acceptable they would say no just because it was him? Every time he offers something it turns out to be not quite what it seems. If he offered £20m up front...

    Could they be still talking

    They could be talking who knows. I'm struggling to see the benefits to Wasps in their course of action. There is no legal action ongoing and CCFC or SISU can't stop the EC investigation. That doesn't change if we're at the Ricoh or not. If anything kicking us out is more likely to mean further...

    "How do I tell my son/daughter they can't go to the match

    It will do as much or as little damage as we allow. If as many people as possible go to Birmingham the damage will be minimal. If a boycott gains traction there will be a large amount of damage.

    Why will they not sell up

    Unless you are a fan we are literally the last club in the country anyone would buy.
