My cynicism regarding the planning process is unbounded (with apologies to those who work in the field). It always seems to me that the odds are stacked heavily in the developer's favour - given I quite like the idea of a stadium at the Butts, perhaps, for once, that's to our advantage...

CRFC have had a couple of good players from Wasps this season, but as a fan of Cov I don't think it's critical to them. In truth there's no guarantee it wouldn't continue in any case; the loan arrangements generally suit both clubs and regardless, there's more than one Premiership team that Cov...

Selling to Wasps was patently not in the best interests of the club - look at where we are now. It's not just SISU who can't be trusted.

What does posting this kind of tripe achieve? Tim doesn't have any fan boys. There aren't any SISU apologists here either. No one is having kittens but there are a few single-celled organisms having minor spasms, clearly. It's sounds a bit like the meeting last night. It's not a...

I don't recall the council ever offering or suggesting an alternative site to the Ricoh either SBT, so politely, I think you're mistaken. I can't see any issue with drawing all of the sides together to talk - that has to be a step forward. If it's SISU bullshit, and it may well be, then the...

I like him already - let me know if it doesn't work out for you. :)

SISU mouth piece? Hello pot, kettle here! This is a bit rich from someone who benefits financially from Wasps and then posts on a daily basis that the Wasps/Ricoh option is the only option. So I'd take a long, hard look at yourself before trying to accuse someone else of being a mouthpiece...

Give 'em a chance mate, maybe we can beat the record next season. ;)

Yep, Kirkland, Westwood, Murphy all crap and didn't improve a bit whilst at the club. When it comes to RCC and Burge I'd look at the raw material that the coach has to work with rather than necessarily criticise Oggy. Either way I'd settle for an average experienced keeper rather than a kid...

I do like the Old Cathedral, and will usually pop for a look in if I'm wandering around town (which isn't very often). Personally, I wouldn't pay to go in the new one though. The Guildhall is very impressive if you get a chance to have a look in there, as is Holy Trinity (the one by the...

Respect to anyone who does it, I get enough exercise chasing my first touch around the pitch every now and then. Doing a half-marathon requires training and discipline, so clearly no good for me. Saying that, when I was younger, I used to run three miles a day without fail. But by the end of...

If enough people ridiculed them, it probably would. But then football's a funny old game and I think there's still some who see some sort of reflected glory in having the hardest 'crew' or dumbest yobs, depending on your standpoint.

English my arse, if you can only go back to 1066 you could be one of those Norman buggers who came over here taking our jobs and our women (they were good plumbers, mind). If you can't trace your roots back to at least Stonehenge then it's back to the continent for you matey. :)

I know SBS was only joking. What kind of numpty would lob anything into a random crowd which will undoubtedly include women and children just there to enjoy a day out. Anyone with a genuine need to express how hard they are should step into the ring with someone of broadly equal size and...

You're just dodging the question and you know it. The fact is that there's never been a council that's threatened to make its home town club play behind closed doors in anything like these circumstances. You're trying to justify something exceptional by ducking and diving around. The point...

Here's the question. When did a council ever threaten to do this to a club previously because of a pitch invasion? Answer that one and stop whining about people not listening. We're listening fine, but you're not answering. Now's your chance.... waiting....

What, our owners, poor business acumen? Why that's an outrage - in just a few moments the thousands of SISU apologists who populate this forum will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. Or something like that. :) Enjoy the game, as I'm sure you will.

You don't have to nod in synchro*, you might just want to try answering the question though without endless whataboutery... Otherwise it looks like you don't really have an answer but aren't quite up to admitting it. The link you sent has nothing at all to do with pitch invasions - it's about...

What voids most of your comments is that you still haven't answered the question. Other clubs have suffered similar and worse issues, when did a Council ever step in to threaten them with playing behind closed doors? "Never" is the answer, quite obviously. You just can't bring yourself to...

Not by their council, that was the FA. Took about three seconds to find that out: Blackpool fined £50,000 for Huddersfield pitch invasion Any other examples you'd care to share of where a council took this very unusual step? Despite the multiple protests at Blackpool by the fans against...
