same thing - authorities are the media there.

largely irrelevant in this situation. Certain conditions were put before the council to get their agreement to sell to Wasps in the 1st place. Most of these conditions have not been met. Had they been excluded from the original debate would the council still have made the same decision?

it would be so toxic who would want it? the legal battles SISU have been prepared to fight so far would be nothing compared to what they would do if they felt certain parties particularly CCC were responsible for forcing them out.

no now it's in spite of SISU. Going too far. If they break it too much or if SISU do decide to sell up no-one is going to want it. It won't be about just buying a football club it'll be about completely rebuilding it from nothing - new academy, new stadium all of which would take time.

PWKH Nov 2011 " As people the trustees want the club to succeed just as much as any other poster on this forum"

so with all these statements about talks & helping etc from Wasps & CSF execs they must have known about this clause.

People need to remember it's difficult signing good out-of-contract players this early. Players are going to wait to see what their options are. The same with loans their clubs like to get them back for pre-season before making decisions.

or maybe we should change our name to "Coventry Wasps" - the rugby club don't want it so we should use it!!!!!!!!!! It's bad enough we could end up sitting in black & gold seats let alone wear it as a kit. Would take a bet it would be the lowest selling away kit of all time.

isn't there still a charge on Ryton from ARVO anyway?

i hadn't realized quite how highly our academy is ranked 10th out 92. That really is impressive and worth fighting for.

was anything actually said about Ryton?

didn't the option revolve around the proposed stadium area subsequently being chosen as the new National Stadium site and the club being compensated if it was?

whilst replacing old debt with new debt

no it was mainly part of the construction costs taken early in the build process. fit-out was originally costed at 4.4m but there was an over-run of 2.6m (total 7m). financed 1.1m ACL & 1.5m CCC. here you go Nick you can start your knowledge base :)

seriously Nick can we not pin some of the basic documents (maybe in the Ricoh/SISU section) like the Arena costings, maybe a link to the Trust's Arena timeline, court findings so we don't have to keep repeating the old basic facts about the Ricoh & its history?

it's good but i would change perused to pursued.

if you're down Wood End could just be new curtains;)

I'd be curious as to how many from Coventry are going. I know quite a lot coming from Brum (never football fans) and places like Leamington, Stratford & Warwick - again who were never really football fans in the 1st place. I still maintain it's largely a different fanbase for the 2 sports or...
