I am a Coventry ratepayer, well Council Tax at least, and I'd politely disagree. If selling to Wasps damages the local football team significantly, as it clearly is, then that's hugely disadvantageous to the city from both a commercial and a cultural point of view. And that's before even...

I'm not convinced that if Wasps want to be fully accepted in the community that they can afford to upset those who support CCFC, I know a fair number of city fans who go to Wasps. It's one reason why the PR wars have started. A point worth making as well perhaps, the action is against the...

Entirely fair, ISB, SISU have been at the root of our woes and I'd never dispute that, but it's the Council's deal with Wasps that will really stuff the club forever. And regardless of all of that, there's nothing stopping Wasps doing a short-term deal. I'm sure they'd like the legal stuff to...

If you're going to assign blame, then I'd start with the people who sold to the rugby franchise without putting something in place to guarantee that the club would have the right to a deal at the stadium. You know, the ones who said that the critical part of the deal was that the football club...

You are now allowed one post about Wasps. Use it wisely :)

Fwiw it sounds like a proper end to end game on the radio. Crowd sounds good too...

Personally speaking, I wouldn't bank on the EFL to stop us moving out of Cov again, they're utterly spineless.

I know Orca of old, and he's a top bloke and a city fan through-and-through. I might not agree with everything he says, but this ad hominem stuff is ridiculous. If we want an open forum where differing opinions are tested then let's give people a chance to state them without calling them...

Hi OSB, there are only two possible strands to further action then, as I read it. 1) Damage to reputation. This is covered by defamation and I think SISU would have to find some kind of statement made by one of the parties within the last year, that would cause their reputation serious harm...

Absolutely mate, but what grounds are there for a case? There's no breach of contract between SISU and Wasps and if the JR goes the Council's way then they've been proven to have acted within their powers. The civil court can't re-judge the JR, that's a specific decision that will have already...

The current litigation is about trying to prove that the Council didn't take a legitimate decision when it sold to Wasps. If upheld in court or on appeal, then I'd guess SISU would seek damages from the Council. Because Wasps might be impacted by the decision (I think the suggested remedy was...

Civil courts can't award fines, that's for criminal courts. They can award damages, but I'm struggling to see on what grounds in this circumstance. Wasps haven't broken any contract with SISU that I know of, and there's no obligation in law for them to deal with SISU for (say) a new rental...

And that to me is exactly the issue. A lot of us lived through the eighties where the dickheads almost ruined the game and then the fences went up. We know how that ended. There's no excuse for going on the pitch like this. None. There's a significant minority of coked/pissed up arseholes...

Too much carping on here, just because the bloke's a little coy.

I doubt you've ever been to Damascus mate, but clearly you've got an issue with people of a different colour. Let me start your next post for you, just to save you a bit of typing... "I'm not a racist but..."

Better a waste of resources now, than searching for a child's body later. Unless it's a malicious hoax or an act or gross stupidity I've no real problem with erring on the side of caution here.

Yes mate, that deal. Well that one plus the 250 year lease extension. Imagine if we'd have been offered that, publicly. How could Fisher and SISU really have stuck to the £20m,15000 seater out of town stadium bollocks, if that was on the table? I think the lie to this article was the attempt...

What date are the Wembley playoffs this season? If I book now I might even be able to get a seat on the train before Otis gets in. :)

The blunt truth about the convicted fraudster and football thug Tommy Robinson is that he's got very wealthy by doing nothing except provoking race hate. If you support him, then quite bluntly you're supporting a move towards fascism and racism, not free speech. Painting him as some kind of...

I'm not actually in favour of either, but I can't see that painting rocks and square bashing is a required skill these days, and that's what a lot of National Service was. As I recall professional soldiers didn't much care for it either, having to take time to manage or find work for a bunch of...
