    Spare a thought for Cllr Kevin Maton tonight. Worst week of his life.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    But Wasps had already moved a distance greater than Cov to Northampton when they relocated to Wycombe (without any fuss). They then moved again - they are a nomadic club and while there was some opposition from their London based supporters (and I feel for them), it was extremely muted in the...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Get you. Although, to be honest, most of the ill feeling towards wasps stems from the fact they rocked up here. The stuff about franchising was just a covenient stick to beat them with and allowed for some easy accusations of hypocrisy. Had they moved to Doncaster none of us would have given...

    Aye, probably, I'm all giddy right now.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I'm not really sure what your point is. Thing is, there was no real outrage when they moved, the wider Rugby community shrugged and tutted and London based Wasps fans rolled with it for the most part. The outrage was simply that they moved HERE, into our stadium with the aid of our own...

    That's of course true, but it may be that there just isn't time ahead of next Wednesday. In a normal season we miss a game and FL don't care, but this season that may put us in a spot of bother.

    Oh yeah no doubt, just giving one example of a local company that has been shafted.

    Apparently they owe 180K to the company that put up all the new signage.

    Again, so what? He probably had some info but jumped the gun a bit and it didn't pan out. His parents live across the road from me and he visits now and again. Did a really nice thing for my daughter once. Nice fella. Clearly a big supporter of the club and the city. Not going to get carried...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    All this hand-wringing makes me laugh. Everyone wants SISU out, but the moment there's talk of a potential buyer, people immediately find a reason for why we shouldn't go near them. These are the same people who are adamant that the only model that works in this division is for a filthy rich...

    I'm talking exhibitions more than concerts, there is pretty much one every week, always lots going on there - What’s on in Coventry near Birmingham How do we know these events lose money anyway?

    The exhibition hall is in use constantly. Barely a week passes without an event there.

    Aye. Always gutted when we lose, but well beaten by a team that barely got out of 2nd gear, so no point having a meltdown. Been a while since we've not had a shot on target in 90 mins at home I'd imagine.

    I get that it's not an exact science, and you have to try to balance between maximising revenues and setting pricing at a level that doesn't see gates fall and turn off casual fans - that's not a good long-term strategy. I like the model at WBA - a flat £25 for all games. I guess the issue...

    It isn't so much the category as the price for that category. Albion was Cat A, and 24 hours before the game they had only sold 2700, many saying they were boycotting because of the price. The rearranged game will still be £34 (£1 compulsory booking fee) and being midweek I doubt WBA will...

    Not getting the time and time again thing. Two occasions in the 1st half Godden was the better option, but the 2nd occasion you could see Vik was looking for the pass but it just wasn't on and Godden had strayed offside. 2nd half, Vik plays it in to Godden for his best opportunity of the game...
