It is our owners, whoever they are, that should be who we target for ridicule, Wasps, the owner of Wasps, acl or the city council can do jack shit about the football club until our owners come to the party, either sisu are hatching a cunning plan or they haven't a pot to piss in and are unable...

Yes and beyond. Top class sport will always attract punters, unfortunately when you drop to third tier rugby there isn't the same attraction. Back in the day CovRFU got gates over 10k regularly but had a team full of internationals.

Top class Rugby Union imo will attract crowds far in excess of 5000 at the Ricoh, Wasps will never accede that at Wycombe, They will have done their homework and won't be expecting full houses immediately but in time regular 5 figure attendances could happen. Years ago RU was very popular in...

What about TATA ?

If sisu don't leave we stay in the third division at best hasn't Tim Fisher already said we can't afford the championship let alone anything higher

No sisu use other peoples wealth, there's a difference.

The Wasps connection easily. I can't see an astute businessman coming out with a statement like that, he knows the resident football team takes priority it is part of the conditons laid down by the football league, he also knows he needs to get extra bums on seats at Rugby games. these guys...

Say what you like this guy and his consortium will own our football club and soon. I think if you look back I told you about our Ricoh return days before the announcement and I'm telling you this Richardson and his men will have our football club

I also think this has knocked sisu for six, what can they do ? or where can they go ? Nothing and nowhere, they haven't a pot to piss in and have only been kept going by transfer fees and lucky cup draws. Well this year there will be no stars to sell at xmas and unless they get lucky again re...

I know this issue has been on the back burner for a long time, over a year in fact. If it happens I believe sisu's grip on our club will be over, sooner the better for me. This Richardson character is one mean astute business man believe me, does he want to own a football club, perhaps and is...

Who would you all rather have take a chance on the Wasps connection and their owners or stick with sisu.

If I win the big one on the Euro lottery tonight I will put that right i'll buy it. I

That might be correct I don't know. So what you are saying if there was an issue and ACL were for and Higgs charity against ACL carry the vote, if that's the case ownership is not 50/50 or is it ?

If you step back a bit and look at the whole scenario we can perhaps see why sisu made the desperate decision to move to Northampton. They had the opportunity to buy into the Ricoh through their then c.e.o. Imre omre or whatever his name was,but he rejected the idea. SISU imo blew it big time...

I doubt if there is any ground owned by the football club or team. The Russian at Chelsea has tried a few times to sell and move from Stamford Bridge but been thwarted by the supporters.

A provocative statement Wasps to buy 90% of ACL, but that isn't 90% of the Ricoh is it. ACL own 50% of the Ricoh shares and the Higgs the other 50%, so as I see it if that statement is correct Wasps would own 45% and the council owned 10% leaving the Higgs half up for grabs and with the councils...

How do you know that are you privy to any discussion, I doubt it. The proposed Haskell deal seemed to include surrounding areas so lets wait and see.

Can I talk about Coventry RFC. I can understand their fears, but the modern day Cov. rugger club are victims of their own doing by past committee members many no longer with us. Cov were a major club , perhaps THE major English rugby club. in 60s/70s and when Rugby Union was changing...

In a word no. But this Wasp move has been on the cards for a couple of years and they moved out of London 10 years ago. Would moving elsewhere, anywhere for them be a franchise in the MK Dons/Wimbledon scenario ? not sure. Moves and amalgamations seems to happen more so in the rugby world than...

His name is Geoff Chater, an associate of mine.
