There was a deal. September 2012. A price was agreed between Higgs and SISU. Why Higgs pulled out at the last minute nobody knows for sure.

It is frustrating. There are so many people I know who care about the club - but not quite enough to actually support them in person regularly. The first thing I talk about on Monday morning at work is the football club - I'll spend the first half hour talking about the city. Pretty much...

Correct, my wife works with her.

It's a horrible place full of knuckle-draggers. This is pretty standard for a comments sections on a news site - but some of the stuff on their is very questionable. It is so damaging also because it gives a very warped impression. I tried posting there many times - but you are fighting a...

I wonder if he has the same hostility to all those local rugby fans who were so desperate to watch the game they follow that they turned out in their thousands when London Wasps showed up, having completely ignored their own local rugby for decades.

They wouldn't be going to 'protest'; they would be going to watch the game, cheer on the local rugby club and show some solidarity. Where have you been? Both clubs have been working closely with each other recently. We use some of the facilities. There have been joint ticket offers, the clubs...

Didn't CRFC see a significant boost in attendances after Wasps arrived. It was widely reported. Also, I know a few people who took to watching Cov when city were exiled in Northampton - were they not welcome too?

I think it was 90% from CV and B postcodes - which is a big old area - well over 3 million. The only two people I know who watch Wasps games are from Birmingham. Actually, one is from Telford, but was originally from Brum.

Somebody mentioned green and black, but not sure if there is any basis to that or if it is assumption because there is a Nike template that sits right next to the home version on this graphic. I guess it'll be one of those, and green and black is the most obvious given that it is traditional.

Not sure what difference it makes. Wasps fans who travel up from London - well that's up to them. There were Wimbledon fans who travelled to MK, and some still do. Don't get it myself, but then since there is no prospect of a Wasps phoenix club (it's Rugby after all, nobody cares that much)...

Think we're getting a bit hysterical. Is there one example of a city fan being 'hateful' to a Wasps supporter outside of online trolling? At least any more hateful than city fans are to each other most of the time? Think I must have missed something, because Coventry seems to have rolled out...

Loving this from Port Vale. The best kit I've seen in a while. Love the retro feel

The constant switching from solid colour to stripes and back again is a bit odd, no other team does that. But then, looking at the graphic above it is something we have done throughout our history and so is probably unique to us and perhaps we should embrace it. Not keen on the new shirt, but...

I don't know for sure. Think they'll sell it and then just say you'll have to present it later, either send it or call in the the TO at some point and show it just so they can confirm. Just going by what happened last season but might be different this time.

Yeah, this is a bit of frustration, although £25 quid for a ST is a snip. My mate is in the same boat, he can't purchase the JSB ST online, so was all set to go up today but it is closed and he won't be able to get up there this week. But I think you can do it over the phone and then you have...

I seem to recall at the end of the EB last season we were at 4900 and went on to sell 5700 by the time the season started.

I thought we were at 4100 last count? Still, its pretty encouraging.

All the hassle is in the beginning. Once up a running it is maintenance free pretty much. The website don't do much, but the app does all right. Get about £600 a month now, which is pretty good for doing jack shit!

Not sure there's any mystery here. The deal that was being negotiated was a 25 year deal on improved terms for the football club. I am sure the option to extend on a rolling basis under the current terms is there. Unless we think Wasps would actually kick us out? On a completely different...

5700 by the beginning of the season, rising to 6300 by Christmas (iirc).
