No - I don't think I've met her have I?

Have I misunderstood the term?

All of a sudden, more information from Fisher in one meeting than we’ve had over several years. As part of this new-found openness, Mr. Fisher would do himself a favour by backing up the claim that a 23-25K stadium can be accommodated at the Butts. I dare say it’s technically achievable, but...

Nail on head. SISU had two choices - prove their good intentions, and work to build from the inside (on terms that knew about when they took over). Or try to be clever by attempting to bring the whole thing down from the outside.

This is the Ryton thread, right?! I did a bit of digging on the involvement of Sport England in Planning Applications (https://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/planning-for-sport/development-management/planning-applications/). There are lots of links and policy documents, but to try...

Well I think Fisher did say something about moving to a more modern and inspiring environment. It’s a question of how much faith you place in his pronouncements, which (to put it kindly) always seem to leave room for interpretation.

4th guffaw of the week kindly provided by Hill83. Luckily I had just put down my mug of minestrone soup before I saw it, or there could have been little tomatoey pasta hoops everywhere.

Are there covenants in place? The recent Rugby Local Plan out for consultation just says (on page 22) "Implementation of site allocation DS3.9 can only occur when adequate replacement of pitch provision is made to the satisfaction of Rugby Borough Council and Sport England in accordance with...

Sadly it has NEVER looked like our stadium, especially from the outside. OK, the RICOH logos needed to be red, but whose idea was it not to make the superstructure sky blue? And inside, the tiny badges always were an embarrassment, made doubly so now by the correctly-sized Wasps ones. If and...

I feel like a kid watching helplessly while a dog chews my oldest and most cherished toy to pieces. And all the adults just seem to be arguing with each other, instead of doing something about it.

Hill, although we are adrift in an open boat on this ocean of despair, you sometimes make me laugh out loud. It’s like one of the wreck survivors has salvaged a cassette player and is playing the Benny Hill music. Thanks for cheering me up.

Doesn't seem like it to me ... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/i-wont-burden-club-tony-11953597 And besides, Hill is watching the most authoritative source avidly for us, and not seen any confirmation yet.

“Positive and constructive” talks about the Academy, and (unless I’ve missed something) barely a response from anyone on here - not juicy enough material to argue about all day and night? I do realise it’s probably just another false dawn or somebody playing games, but there’s hope in the...

Crowley’s tweet claims it was “SISU’s unwillingness to budge on the BPA deal” that led to CA leaving. Does that wording suggest that CA saw a viable way forward at the Butts, but SISU’s intransigence somehow scuppered it? As I think someone once memorably said on here, we are being treated...

Some very creative suggestions, but surely it doesn't need anything more complex than the old Oggy chant ... Bigi Bigi Bigi! Oi Oi Oi! (etc.)

Hardly anybody was wrong - in reality just a small number of people on here wrote him off, based on what I don't really know. A few mistakes? I'm really glad that Bigi is back playing in a Sky Blue shirt.

There’s a photo of SISU’s legal team in the CT article. Is it just my imagination, or are they arranged in a downward spiral?

Great haul of China is changing European football and up to 30 more billionaires are looking to invest in clubs Might be worth the Trust sellotaping some ads in post office windows in Shanghai? We can at least dream - I mean some of these people must have the clout to sweep up the whole lot...

Have we now reached it? Losing tamely to the mighty Fleetwood Town in front of three thousand people, next to bottom in the third division, injury-affected squad full of mostly raw young players, no home to call our own, Academy under threat, owners universally despised, minimal budget, fan...

I didn’t know too much about Robbie at the time we signed him, except that opinion was divided on him, and going along to the game was hoping we hadn’t blown £6 million on a duff player. Within the first couple of minutes it was obvious he was pure class, and his debut goes down as one of the...
