    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    I disagreed with the move to Northampton, because Coventry should play in Coventry and I also didn't like SISU's business methods. However you obviously missed my posts where I said if they had gone about things differently they could have got the backing of the fans for a short term move if it...

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    again, looking at things objectively trying to see how the deal may or may not work, or how it has come about doesn't mean people support the deal or agree with Franchising. Who is offering excuses and for who?

    Fight!

    Surely Grendel would have to fight a whole host of previous owners as well a previous manager? Would he know where the Council House is anyway? Coming to Coventry seems a bit beneath him, in fact I often wonder how he became a Cov fan?

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    The point is torchomatic you have taken some of those quotes out of context, you are trying to suggest they have been made in a way that supports the Wasps deal. Far from it, they have been made trying to look at the situation objectively or how certain parties may view the situation. I have...

    New stadium - Let's suppose for a minute ....

    It certainly is big land, in fact a whole continent....just right of the canal. The Suez Canal? But it is a nice map of Europe, Africa and the Middle East :D

    Can Wasps' consortium fund the deal

    I don't think it would have got to this stage unless the financial backing wasn't in place.

    Wasps deal is for 100% of ACL

    It shows what you can get when you negotiate sensibly.

    You would really watch it that many times?

    Joy seems to have her own view on what can be taken into the court room.

    Whatever floats your boat, but I think you are in the minority with the above!

    If councillors believe that CCFC will leave and build a stadium outside the city

    You mean like West Ham moving across London? The problem with Wasps they are already out of their London base. Most London Rugby clubs have moved out, which suggests the costs of land and stadiums in the capital in prohibitive for them. So if you are already nomadic, Coventry/Birmingham...

    A vote of no confidence in the City of Coventry?

    People mentioning ice hockey, basketball, franchise sport....what else do you expect from America...oh yeah hedge funds!

    Who's distressing who?

    SISU have been distressing me that's for sure!

    Forget the Wasps, hail the Bees !

    Gutsy riding through out the team, they wanted it to a man. An 8 point lead could have easily gone in the first two races. But the Bees turned up and made it look like they were the home side and turning the difficult track conditions to their advantage. Two matches away from becoming League...

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    Joy will probably try and use this Wasps purchase/sale in future litigation against CCC...trying to illustrate how CCC deliberately scuppered a deal with her and the whole world were against SISU. That is why she ain't opposing it or Wasps are SISUs Trojan Horse? Fisher has come across as...

    Wasps officials have held talks about making Ricoh permanent home

    I will give you the perspective of some of my Rugby playing mates. Most rugby fans support their local club, not necessarily Coventry, but the likes of Earlsdon, Barkers etc., that is where they go on a Saturday to either play or watch Rugby. Coventry has a high volume of local Rugby Clubs...

    Cov Rugby Club Not Opposed

    It says a lot when Wasps are considered to be encroaching on the development areas of Leicester, Northampton and Worcester...not Coventry Rugby Club. I'll be sticking by the Blue and Whites.

    Wasps deal is for 100% of ACL

    A deal was always there to be had, you just had to be reasonable about it. But SISU had to try and be clever and dick everyone around. i wouldn't have minded them selling a few players if it had funded a long lease at the Ricoh. Building from new will cost a lot more and hold also rats of...

    So Much for Ricoh Return

    Can I just point out what really kicked me off as a Coventry Fan....my school got free tickets to Coventry vs Liverpool. Not the best match 0-0 I think. But from that point on I started going regularly, Coventry was my team. Yes there were better teams who played better football, but they...
