    Will there be further punishments

    There is no precedence for that. Brighton were allowed to play in Gillingham, Rotherham played in Sheffield, we played in Northamption and Bristol Rovers spent several years in Bath. The only circumstances where we might face sanctions is if the EFL are not satisfied that the club are working...

    The people of this city

    Amazingly you've managed to post that with using the words 'apologist' or 'lover'. Well done. While you're here though, could you point me in the direction of a post (any post) from a regular poster that has said anything positive about SISU. Time starts now...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    ...and those naming rights, which are overdue for renewal, will be worth a lot less without us being there. On top of that, there'll be 300,000 fewer visits to the Ricoh next season (possibly more if we get a couple of big cup ties), impacting on everything from parking revenues to catering to...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    Yeah, collective responsibility and all that. You'd like to think there would at least be one or two dissenters in there who would put their neck on the line and speak out. CCFC is this city's biggest civic asset. Nothing has the power to move and unite the city like the football club can and...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    Isn't the Conservative leader a regular at Wasps games? Figures I guess. From what I can tell there is literally nobody in the council chamber fighting on behalf of the football club.

    St Andrews confirmed!

    If it was built next to the city border, CCC would have to be consulted and would have input because of road infrastructure etc. However, crucially, they would not be the planning authority. If it was Warwick DC, then there is no reason for them not to engage with CCFC , so it might at least...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    Well yes, I meant from a legal standpoint. In reality though, they can make it practically impossible. One thing that will happen now is that a site will be identified and the planning process will begin. Not that I have any confidence in it being delivered, but the EFL will want to see...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    They can't stop us, but can of course make it very difficult. I note in the statement, it spoke of returning to the 'Coventry area'. Not sure if anything can be read into that, but perhaps they'll look to build outside of the border. I say 'build', you can take a view on that, but I do expect...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    Villa and Blues have been known to play at home on the same day on occasion (when we played Blues in the cup a few years back, Villa were home to Blackburn), so I doubt it will be an issue. At Northampton, the majority of our fixtures were on a Saturday, so I am sure that will be the case next...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    All these people declaring that they will not attend St Andrews, why? What is it you're hoping to achieve? To force the club back? Well, that isn't going to happen this time. The option to return to the Ricoh was always there when we played at Northampton, so I understood the boycott and its...

    The Ricoh..

    Cov Utd just announced 10 year deal at BPA. That's the end of that then.

    This Week

    He's now saying Les Reid has blocked him on twitter so he genuinely had no idea and still can't find the article. What a circus.

    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    Is it apathy or fatigue, or both? There have been many well attended protests over the years. Was it 6000 who marched into town, and a similar amount a year later? I was at the Charlton away march in decent numbers. The Rochdale protest was very well attended. We've had pigs x 2, sit-ins, pitch...

    Saturday, 3pm, Jimmy's Statue

    So hope they lose today. They miss out on European CC qualification and it would surely make it more difficult to deny themselves income from CCFC.

    Taken a quick look on BT sport, never 16K in there today.

    Back your football club

    The circumstances are such that I have no option but to back my football club. At Northampton the option to return to the Ricoh was there the whole time. That option isn't there this time. I'm in for the renewal of 4 STs.

    The Next Statement

    The stadium was mostly funded when the council bridged the funding gap. And for that we were crippled with an insane rental deal. In the first few years, we paid more in rent for use of facilities 25 days a year than Wasps paid up front for the entire facility on a 250 year lease. Wouldn't be...

    The Next Statement

    Yeah, maybe you're right. I despair.

    The Next Statement

    If there's one small positive that might come out of this, it's that the eyes of some people will be opened to the fact that Wasps are a bunch of parasitic shysters.

    The Next Statement

    This is uncharted territory I guess so I'm not surprised we haven't heard from the club. The position of Wasps/CCC has always been along the lines of 'do this and we'll talk'. What can the club do at this point? They cannot possibly provide some sort of indemnity to Wasps that protects them...
