So you keep telling us but we have no other choice but to stay at the Ricoh. Do you accept this?

What do you mean?

I quite agree but the point remains the same for the amount of money and time we have a stadium already built and just need to pay for it. Get rid of wasps. Might be paying slightly over the odds but the point is we would have our own stadium and no waiting times. Worth it

I will try and make this short and sweet. I've got a solution perhaps. All this talk of BPA has got me thinking, we need a home and fast right especially for long term success. We need to own. Now how much would it take in Time and money to build what's proposed for BPA? Arguments sake 10-15m...

I agree but the counter argument is well we don't want to rent off wasps well newsflash no one does. We are in a crap position and there is no easy answer but the only answer for now is a short term rent deal with wasps whether people like that or not that's the reality. I'm with Clint, if...

Yeah we would lose money but more to the point it's not the price that's the problem is it. I including many other would gladly pay £500+ for a good standard of football and to see some good players. Same in many walks of life, it's not the price most of the time that's the problem, it's the...

As I said yesterday, seems weird Tm was made an instant favourite. Why? Must be a slight truth in it to put a taken manager of a league 1 side as favourite. Also much closer to home for TM who we know commutes from Middlesbrough. I just pray he doesn't go.

Yes agreed. I think BPA and the timing to it coming out stinks to high heaven of a bargaining chip and pr tool being used. end of the season just lost another appeal to the appeal. Sisu have shown nothing of investing and certainly not a stadium in 9 years of being here so why now when they are...

Why keep mentioning wasps. No one wants to hand them money just so you know.

Why would he go fav? Seems a bit odd to me

I think it's more to do with not knowing the BPA full details. That's the main reason I support staying at the Ricoh because I can't support a 15k stadium that may or may not happen. I need certain details to be confirmed and concrete plans else I support a Ricoh agreement for now even though as...

Well considering Highfield road was 23k anything less is a step backwards to 15 years ago. Saying that we are in a league or 2 lower now though. Not the point though we should be aiming for minimum championship football and the fact this is our 5th season in league 1 is a disgrace. Something...

Good article and good quotations

We won't own any new stadium hence why getting the Ricoh was so key now we are told wasps don't want us there well I am sure they do but with current legals and our football club on a real low we are not the safest bet in the world are we. I still can't see better than staying at the Ricoh if...

At the Ricoh in the league 1/ possibly the championship.

Just for arguments sake one attendance next season of 30k at the Ricoh at say £15 average ticket price is £450,000 of which we keep all that as we know. So all well and good moving to a new ground which will cost millions and millions and endless amounts of time probably just to get this off...

Genuine question, why do you have to say "you cretin" it really shows yourself up very badly. It's a thick mentality and I would just have a think. That's all. Well 15k would be a couple thousand to away fans and 1k secretion probably so 12k I guess.

I think you don't have to look far past sisu won't spend a penny on us so how do we fund the 15k stadium in the first place? Sorry the more I say 15k stadium the more it just sounds wrong. We are not a tin pot club. 3 attendences over 15k in league 1 just last season. That's enough proof for me.

Right but can the butts but easily developed to 25k I'm not so sure and also with that theory if we did get to championship and premier league we expand but what if we were relegated back down to league 1. Do we start knocking stands down again. It doesn't work like that Nick. Surely?

I think the point is Nick even if we weren't surely we aspire to compete top end of the championship and beyond of course at which point 15k looks a bit silly then as we would easily cover it every game in the championship.
