The whole retro shirt thing is dieing a slow death thankfully. Was mostly people trying too hard to be different. Never understood adults buying replica shirts. Anyone over 40 who does (for any other reason than for playing football in) should be put on some sort of list. And yes, I am grumpy...

Some silly predictions here. We're not as bad as people are suggesting. We're mid-table fodder, and Bristol City will lose games this season. Not saying we will win the game, but can't see us getting hammered. But if we do then that edit button will come in handy.

Yeah, just seen they have sold 3400. Even more reason to make an effort.

Don't usually post stuff like this, and wouldn't normally judge people for not attending, but really hope people make an effort tomorrow. We're playing a good side in front of 2500 away fans, so we need some backing, and I think it's far too early to say the season is over. I know some people...

Correct me if I'm wrong, Wasps have paid around £5 million to secure 100% ownership of a 250 year leasehold. They are not clearing the loan, they are just taking it on. SISU bid for the Higgs stake (i.e 50%) on a much shorter lease and their offer would have seen the then mortgage cleared and...

The suggestion was that the council retain ownership of their profit making stadium management company until some inevitable future point when the club (perhaps under SISU, perhaps not) would make an approach for the stadium. The council have chosen a different path, and now the club is fucked...

Yeah, because what this club really needs is to extend the period in which it generates all its income from gate receipts and merchandise sales and practically nothing else. The really is the recipe for success. It has worked wonders since 2005.

I liked the bit about the last visit of Wasps generating £6 million for the local economy. Absolute guff.

Of course there are. There are more important things in life than conceding a 2 goal lead against Crawley, but it still matters to people.

And the alternative? Playing second fiddle to a Rugby Club (and subsidising them) with little opportunity of generating new income streams. A new stadium is the only way forward if this club is to build a sustainable future. Fuck me, I sound like Fisher, but given the situation we now find...

It is symbolic. It would only increase the sense of detachment. A new stadium is now a must imo.

10 people going tonight from work, 8 don't have tickets. Think there could be a sizeable walk-up tonight. Won't be breaking any attendance records but would be nice for a decent turn-out.

Some people still so obsessed with scoring points against SISU that they're almost willing this to happen. Pathetic. Of course the statement is full of irony, SISU have acted abominably throughout their tenure, but the contents of that statement are correct and after today SISU will be here...

Who are you to speak for Wasps fans? There is a lot of outrage here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/394/130/032/keep-wasps-rfc-inaround-london/ There will be a shitstorm coming at the city council from the national media if this goes through.

Absolute rubbish.

But they're not going to do it, it's already too late. The debate has been had, votes will be cast today. You do get that? We'd be wasting our breath, the only people with the power to safeguard the future of our football club are the city council, but they have chosen not to. Absolutely...

People making stuff up again. SISU, at the time the new deal was made, said that were still intent on owning their own ground, and that they were prepared to build one, but the PREFERRED OPTION was ownership of the Ricoh. It has NEVER been ruled out categorically. And we all know, those of us...

This argument that the council have 'no option' is just rubbish. Also, SISU are not crying about it are they? Again, they seem indifferent. It is the fans that suffer again - and some people are applauding the council for selling our home to a bunch of people none of us know because of an...

I really don't think we need to pander to those few who think this might be a good idea. For the good of two famous old sporting clubs it has to be no, and it has to be a no now. I know you are very diplomatic by nature Otis, but sometimes people are just plain wrong and they have to be told.

No information was forthcoming, and the deal is being rushed through tomorrow without any consultation. The horse has bolted. Cov RFC have been royally shafted.
