Isn't the Conservative leader a regular at Wasps games? Figures I guess. From what I can tell there is literally nobody in the council chamber fighting on behalf of the football club.

If it was built next to the city border, CCC would have to be consulted and would have input because of road infrastructure etc. However, crucially, they would not be the planning authority. If it was Warwick DC, then there is no reason for them not to engage with CCFC , so it might at least...

Well yes, I meant from a legal standpoint. In reality though, they can make it practically impossible. One thing that will happen now is that a site will be identified and the planning process will begin. Not that I have any confidence in it being delivered, but the EFL will want to see...

They can't stop us, but can of course make it very difficult. I note in the statement, it spoke of returning to the 'Coventry area'. Not sure if anything can be read into that, but perhaps they'll look to build outside of the border. I say 'build', you can take a view on that, but I do expect...

Villa and Blues have been known to play at home on the same day on occasion (when we played Blues in the cup a few years back, Villa were home to Blackburn), so I doubt it will be an issue. At Northampton, the majority of our fixtures were on a Saturday, so I am sure that will be the case next...

All these people declaring that they will not attend St Andrews, why? What is it you're hoping to achieve? To force the club back? Well, that isn't going to happen this time. The option to return to the Ricoh was always there when we played at Northampton, so I understood the boycott and its...

Cov Utd just announced 10 year deal at BPA. That's the end of that then.

He's now saying Les Reid has blocked him on twitter so he genuinely had no idea and still can't find the article. What a circus.

Is it apathy or fatigue, or both? There have been many well attended protests over the years. Was it 6000 who marched into town, and a similar amount a year later? I was at the Charlton away march in decent numbers. The Rochdale protest was very well attended. We've had pigs x 2, sit-ins, pitch...

So hope they lose today. They miss out on European CC qualification and it would surely make it more difficult to deny themselves income from CCFC.

Taken a quick look on BT sport, never 16K in there today.

The circumstances are such that I have no option but to back my football club. At Northampton the option to return to the Ricoh was there the whole time. That option isn't there this time. I'm in for the renewal of 4 STs.

The stadium was mostly funded when the council bridged the funding gap. And for that we were crippled with an insane rental deal. In the first few years, we paid more in rent for use of facilities 25 days a year than Wasps paid up front for the entire facility on a 250 year lease. Wouldn't be...

Yeah, maybe you're right. I despair.

If there's one small positive that might come out of this, it's that the eyes of some people will be opened to the fact that Wasps are a bunch of parasitic shysters.

This is uncharted territory I guess so I'm not surprised we haven't heard from the club. The position of Wasps/CCC has always been along the lines of 'do this and we'll talk'. What can the club do at this point? They cannot possibly provide some sort of indemnity to Wasps that protects them...

Arriving in the pub at Donny yesterday there was a sizable group of lads from Sunderland. They were there for the races. No issues at all, spoke to a few, had a bit of banter and they were shaking hands with city fans as they left. It makes all the hand-wringing and hysterics on RTG all the...

I think we got 2-3 seasons from the Ricoh effect before gates started to fall away notably. It's interesting to see the significant variation in our gates over the years. Even if you discount Northampton, that last few seasons represent probably the worst period in our history as far as...

Oxford United v Doncaster Rovers

I thought that was the same night . The Lynx Africa got me thinking about that pre-season game at Blues. Bunch of animals in the corner of the pub about to eat us alive, we down our pint in seconds ready to make a sharp exit and G just takes a sip and sticks another quid in the bandit. Not sure...
