I hear what you're saying, but in some ways I think you've summed up the problem in a nutshell, Prefect. Millions playing the game, and very little chance of making it, but despite that five of your side played or had trials for professional clubs. That, to me, suggests a rather lazy 'shotgun'...

I'm with you on this, I think the crowds will very quickly drop off (entirely possible there's some wishful thinking from me here though, in all honesty). Fwiw though, I understood that Wasps will stick with playing their home games on a Sunday for the time being.

I'm impressed. I doubt I'd have got half of those if they were un-pixellated. They are pixellated, right? Fwiw, I spent a good year at the last place I worked grumbling that I'd been lumped with a cheap, old, out-of-focus screen. When I finally bullied the IT guys into replacing it the new...

Spot on. Even if my lad turns out to have any talent (which is unlikely given I've seen the milkman play and he's crap) I'll be telling him to just enjoy the game and play with his mates. It's supposed to be fun, ffs. Scouting kids at 7 or 8, and then taking the best ones away from their...

I must confess that I can't see a merger of Wasps & CCFC happening, but I can see that Wasps might be interested in taking over ownership of CCFC from SISU when they finally give up. I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing by the way. Alternatively, SISU may think that Wasps have bitten...

Was that you running on at the end in the donkey jacket? ;) I was there too. I'd been to a few games before when I was even younger, but this is the first one that I really remember. Ah, nostalgia's not what it used to be. :)

Hi Dai, appreciate what you're saying here, and it's all fair enough. But as I see it there was always the hope that SISU would either see sense, or sell to someone that did, and either way the club would sooner or later have to get serious about a deal for the Ricoh/ACL. Almost everyone other...

It's an absolute insult that - they must think we're bloody idiots. The future of both those teams is now at the whim of Wasps. Whatever 'promises' might have been made clearly they are under no obligation to help either side, and it's hard to believe that an owner who doesn't care about...

Entirely fair points OSB, but again as much as Wasps might want a successful CCFC, I think we agree in that they only want it in so far as it makes more money for them. Reverse the question, and tell me what they're likely to offer for that. Rental discounts, a share of the profits from ACL...

Were your reasons for accusing him of being biased based on him reporting on what Sepalla has said? It's just that I don't seen much commentary from him, just direct quotes. Would you rather we didn't hear what she had to say? Les certainly offered an opinion at the telegraph that maybe the...

And how much money do you think Wasps will give CCFC to achieve that dream? Do you think they'll be offering a rent discount? A share of the profits from ACL? Like the council, it's easy to say that Wasps will want to see a successful CCFC - but also like CCC, I'm not sure (politely) that...

A lot of that is fair enough mate - but it's really not in Wasps interest that CCFC do much more than pay the rent. Wasps and SISU are now in effect in competition for the revenue from ACL - they both say they need 365/24/7 income and not just matchday streams. However Wasps will have 100%...

And with apologies to those I've insulted, which is probably pretty much everyone - I'll leave it there I think. I don't think, for all of the press stuff, there's any more mileage in this for me as a fan. The decision is done. The 50% won't come to CCFC, the new stadium won't be built. I'll...

I'm not trying to get anyone to say it, but it seems that there's a lot of people inferring it because he had the audacity to offer a different opinion. That's unworthy in my book. Accusing a journalist of being bent or biased is some special kind of insult. The same goes for anyone accusing...

I'm happy to answer this. I blame SISU 100% for the hugely stupid new stadium stuff, especially and most damagingly offered just after the return to the Ricoh. I blame Coventry City Council (and the Higgs Trust) 100% for selling ACL to an out of town franchise - especially when it was done...

I wish people would step away from the personalities involved here. This was an interview with Sepalla, and she's made her points clearly enough. What we ought to be doing is discussing the merits of her argument, rather than calling it a PR piece, or insulting a journalist who has at various...

Personally I think Clarke's been going backwards for a while at CCFC. I don't think it's worth blaming either the player or the manager for it, perhaps it's just the combination of the two that's not working. I hope, like Christie at Derby, he returns to some decent form at Yeovil and it all...

Fans of Wasps are bothered - it's simply not correct or fair to suggest otherwise. You can read their boards, or simply put yourself in their shoes. Some will follow Wasps up here, many, many more will not. Rugby fans are not happy to 'go anywhere' to watch top flight rugby - look at the...

Looks like an athlete to me. Given the distances that footballers have to run and the fact that the game has got less physical, at least at the top end, I can't see why for most players carrying less weight around would be anything other than advantageous. I doubt he's a weakling. Skinny...

I don't think it's unfair to ask for clarity. The council and others have made a big thing about Wasps building a training facility and encouraging kids into the sport - indeed it's one the justifications they've used for the deal. Where's the harm in pointing out that at best, it looks a...
