You're right, it's perhaps the endless obsessed threads. However, I did find the unexpected translation amusing. No big deal.

I’ve put a few thoughts about this on the Wasps bit of the forum. I admire your principled stand, but think it’s more complicated than you believe. Tell me where Wasps should really be playing now - on the other sub-forum of course :)

I’m really not under-estimating the effect of a sports club moving. The switch to Sixfields had a massive impact on me and my family, and broke a tradition and a feeling which we haven’t really managed to get back. In an ideal world every club would stay close to its roots, and every fan who...

I thought I read somewhere that “SISU” was Joy’s business philosophy and in Finnish meant something like “fight to the bitter end even when everyone thinks you are wrong”. But I just typed it into Google Translate, and quite wonderfully it just said “Go” :laugh: (To be fair, it offered...

But now they are doing so for rugby matches, which I don't think people should scoff at. You never know, maybe some of them will take in CCFC v Hartlepool while they're at it?

But it still depended on the bank accepting a huge loss on the loan, which they weren’t going to do and the judge said so. I’ll happily give you £20,000 but it depends on the bank wiping £50,000 off my mortgage to help me out. I’ll ring them in the morning and let you know if you’re in luck...

Grendel, am I right that in replying to Noggin’s “£2.8 million” from 2014, you quoted the £5.5 million from 2012 (which Albatross has correctly scotched) and then jumped back to Wasps in 2014 without blinking an eye? Genuine question, in case I misunderstood.

Yes - the fact that Fisher has taken the trouble to explain why CCFC don’t want to buy into ACL. If Wasps had made clear that no stake was available, he could simply have said so. Instead, he's saying that it's too risky for CCFC.

Yes, it’s priceless isn’t it? I love the fact that he said this having walked into the meeting late and missed what Cllr. Maton had to say!

If discussions have taken place which weren’t “formal”, Mr. Fisher must have gone down to the Planning department clutching a couple of maps with crayon on them, like a schoolboy doing a geography project.

To adapt what Saint would have said to Greavsy, “You kill me Dan, you really do”:)

I 100% share all of these concerns with the Trust.

Having had a go at our owners, I’d really like to emphasise the positive side of this. What prompted my original post was this – if Fisher is even discussing the reasons why he doesn’t want to get into bed with Wasps (ouch!), it does suggest that it is STILL possible. So to hear him say they...

I suspect that’s the case, and the way the bid was framed it looked awfully like it was only done for appearances’ sake. I think Grendel will probably agree with that, even if he sees it in a different way which I respect. Here’s Fisher’s comment on that from the same minutes. To me it just...

Minutes of the Stadium Forum Committee, 21st January 2015TF was asked whether the club could buy 50% of the Ricoh. TF said that it is unlikely that a deal can be done re a share of the ownership of the Stadium with Wasps. TF confirmed that the club’s owners and Directors are not prepared to take...

RFC - "No mention of CCC virtually giving it away £2:7m, oh sorry I forgot they also managed to ditch their £14m loan on them as well (with a reduced payment term, 20yrs instead of 43yrs).! Nice move." Is it just me, or are you making two completely contradictory arguments in the same...

Seppala only inquires after the results once a week … ... and having been told “Brilliant, exceptional, absolutely outstanding”, presumably thinks we are top of the table.

"The planning application could be straightforward or painful" We are talking about CCFC, right?

Maybe it was full of chalk or something before? They should reinstate the old recipe, which gave the “end product” a nice firm texture – dry enough to use it for a quick game of footy without getting your school shoes in a mess. But you try telling the youngsters of today that and they won’t...

I take Ms Garlick to mean that a land deal announcement is still coming. The details of these FAILED sites are being released in the meanwhile, to (very belatedly) demonstrate that other attempts have been made over the last couple of years. Unfortunately the 3 sites mentioned appear to have...
