A bit of an aside but it really pisses me off what he and his cronies have done with Higgs since the death of Derek Higgs. They've made it into a vehicle their serves their own interests while no doubt taking a good salary out. Doesn't sit well with me at all.

Can't see it being West Brom or Villa, would be way too big and the amount we'd pay wouldn't make it worth the trouble. Possibly Birmingham as they're skint and Walsall purely on size. Did they say Midlands clubs or are we talking within 50 miles?

Who was supposed to be stumping up the money to buy Wasps as was being proposed. Interesting that it ties in with the time the current owner, who didn't at that point own them, was talking to CRFC about a merger. All while Wasps were assuring their own fans any move from Wycombe would be back to...

I wouldn't bet against it with this council.

The trust are hiring a bus as we speak to get everyone to stand round Duggins and give him a round of applause like they did the Wasps chap.

That was looked at before. Rugby council confirmed it with the Telegraph and CBRE stated they were acting on behalf of the club and an agreement had been reached. Owner of the land confirmed the same. Then it all went silent and the next thing we heard was Fisher saying any new ground would...

Thing that people miss is that judicial reviews are basically looking at legal technicalities. And often relating to areas of law that haven't been tested before. You end up with strange situations like the Judge allowing SISUs appeal on the basis the previous judge had treated the sale of ACL...

Wonder which stand all the free tickets are in.

Who was it that said Wasps are just SISU with better PR. Looks pretty accurate right now. Don't forget in one of the court cases it came out that there was a deliberate PR campaign to turn the fans against SISU. Didn't take much as people were already pissed off with them but if SISU had...

I've still got a bit of rubble from the kop somewhere. They sold them in the club shop on little wooden stands.

As they did with the 'washing its face' claims. Blamed the council's officers at ACL for giving them incorrect information. That would have been Reeves and West I believe, don't think either of them were disciplined for this huge error.

Is there not a publically accessible registry of all council land? Can't be that many sites they own that are big enough and vacant or derelict.

There's a hell of a lot more substance than the council or Wasps put forward. Bet the council wish Duggins never opened his mouth. Blunders through interviews making vague statements to backup the council's stance but then refuses to answer more detailed questions or provide any evidence to back...

Timescale ties in with Rossborough being approached about CRFC mergeing with Wasps doesnt' it? Wankers is being restrained. Not sure what the council can offer up in response to this that doesn't leave them still looking up to their necks in it. Can't see how anyone can keep defending them as...

That council alarm is way quicker than the one Wasps used to have italia on :D

How on earth is that the key point someone takes from the Observer article?

You'd better let the Telegraph know

Something has to change but a big chunk of the fanbase get upset if you blame anyone. I suspect there won't be any improvement until the owners are prepared to stand aside and let someone else takeover.

The EFL can and if the council bothered to turn up to meetings they could all work together. The council say we have supplied suitable sites to SISU. The EFL say you can groundshare or stay on the Ricoh on a 1 year deal (remember their rules actually require a minimum 10 year deal) but we want...

Based on what? Robin's placed the blame on the council the last time he left and came back knowing exactly what the situation was. Not like this will have come as a surprise to him.
