Did the council offer that though, or did Wasps request it? Much of my criticism of Sisu over the last 2 years has been their lacklustre approach to negotiations. All of their sound bites and press releases but an angle on it that it was up to the council to put together the deal they wanted...

Yes he beat me to it! Pretty much the same question.

NW, based on what we all know about sisu, and the last 7 years under their management, what evidence is there that they are capable of creating a profit making stadium? Everything they attempt they fail at. They have even admitted themselves that they make investments into areas of which they...

Well like you say, regardless of the particular possibilities, I would just like to see them try something new for once. To me its illogical to build a football stadium because you want to host a jobs fair or the local WI meeting.

I don't think Sisu have the financial clout to get something like this up and running. But lets just say if they have the money, and the will is there, I still don't see where they could put it. For a development on the scale that they were talking about (60 acres was it?), there simply isn't...

Having a different opinion isn't odd. None of us share all the same opinions. The whole point of this forum is to present different arguments and viewpoints. I try to argue my points in a civilised way and respect others that do as well. Although I admit I probably sometimes fail on that front...

I don't think its strange that people love the club. For a start those are the sort of people that keep it going. I am not one myself, but I respect those that are. That comment I made was only in retaliation to RFC's rather offensive remark about those who choose to go to the rugby. As for...

I never accused you of running the forum in a dictatorial way, just in that post that is how it sounded. You suggested that I "Spend all my time defending a rugby club and the Council". That comes across as though the content of my postings are not suitable for this forum.

Ok. I will be sure to PM you all my rantings in future for you to approve the content before I post them.

Are you suggesting that only those that agree with your views should be allowed to post?

You just don't get it do you? Wasps haven't moved from their home city to Coventry. They have moved from an adopted home to Coventry. If you want to compare it to our situation, it would be like sisu moving the club from Northampton to Manchester. The damage would have already been done by...

I didn't blame Sisu for damaging CRFC, I blamed them for having a part in Wasps buying the Ricoh.

I think its more the sense of community and seeing players that actually care. Just like in football, if you see the players care and trying their best, a loss is always much more palatable.

Yes I agree. But as I haven't done that I'm not sure why you've quoted me in on that.

Well that's your opinion. Personally I think its pathetic to base your life around a 3rd division football club.

I blamed sisu for creating a situation where Wasps moved here. Again CCC can be blamed if it damages CRFC, Wasps have no responsibility there though.

See you also seem to think it was ok for Wasps to move from London to Wycombe. Once they have moved out of their traditional home, what difference does it make where they play? I am really struggling to understand your point here. The situation has been caused by this: Years ago Wasps left...

I am not saying that Wasps haven't wronged their fans (but imo that wrong was back when they left London), but I am arguing against those who say that Wasps have wronged CCFC and CRFC. The fate of those two clubs is not the responsibility of Wasps.

Shifting responsibility from who? Who do think Wasps have a responsibility to?

Grendal was posting on here the other day that the Wasps chairman had said they would go bust if they had to continue to rent. Are you saying that is wrong?
