    I think they tried to outlaw it but ran out of debating time 🤔

    But OSB wasn't guilty of it was he?

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I really hope she does 'want out', but where has that been said? The Times article a few months back suggested Sisu were looking for an investor to take the club on, but that was based on getting the Arena cheaply. Now that opportunity seems to have gone, could she just keep CCFC on life support...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Wow, reading that they have even less of a sense of belonging anywhere than I thought. As Duffer says, very little support for staying at the CBS, but only around half of them seem to be arguing for a return to London. ‘I think the London idea may not be a great business move. Attendances at...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I doubt if any thinking about Wasps is as short term as that. If Ashley wanted to own them, or at least be associated with them, he would see them as a Rugby ‘brand’. Maybe Frasers want a slice of the rugby clothing market? If they are in a lower league for a while and not making money, that...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    ' Whether owning either Wasps or Coventry is a longer-term goal remains to be seen, with neither part of a deal Telegraph Sport has been told nevertheless will see Frasers commit “100 per cent” to both teams continuing to play at the arena'

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Think the plans to extend the road to either the A45 or A452 attracted opposition, and may have been dropped or deferred? Anyway, accessibility of the Uni area from the A46 is still on cards.

    I think there is planned to be a new road circling the west of Coventry (basically from the Balsall Common area to that junction they are improving on the A46). But in IMO a new stadium out by the Uni would feel even less connected to the urban areas of the city than the CBS, and I’m guessing...

    When we get to 9,999 we should all just stand aside and let Hill post a suitable ‘chopper’ GIF

    Wish you'd mentioned this an hour ago, would have saved a trip to A&E (and a fiver)

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    They always seem to make catastrophic misjudgements. Assumed they were the only game in town. Treated local politicians and the charity as if they were just another helpless business to be distressed. Didn’t realise that if the Arena became available debt-free there would be bigger fish in the...

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    It’s unwise to assume that Joy will take the logical course of action or do the right thing. Sisu isn’t Finnish for common sense, it means something like bloody mindedness. Even Fisher said she was bonkers didn’t he?

    Good performances from all eleven, thoroughly deserved win. Wish we could play Blackburn every week on that showing from them.

    Only 3 tags on that article - Frasers Group, Mike Ashley, Wasps RFC. It does say he doesn't want the rugby club though.

    Excellent first half, with O'Hare's presence making it possible to get back to last season's style of play. Since coming back from his ban, I haven't seen Hamer launch into one stupid challenge, and by keeping his head and staying on his feet he looks twice the player.
