Exactly! We were in trouble four months after moving into the Ricoh. Shameful, what Richardson did to our club. And I'm amazed so many think he isn't "the only bad guy". Saints alive!

A sell-out 22K every week in the Premiership could EASILY have happened if we had stayed put. We could have redeveloped like we did with the East Stand. The Ricoh is the single biggest mistake of our history and will prove to be our undoing. Meanwhile Richardson is sipping cocktails somewhere...

Richardson created the debts in the first place though. There wouldn't have been anything for McGinnity to wipe out if it wasn't for Richardson.

McGinnity and SISU were/are bad but Richardson tops the lot for me. Although the aforementioned carried the mantel he started the whole thing off by getting rid of HR. Not to mention the wages paid, the team of Hondurans, the salary he paid himself which was more than the Premier League...

Wrong way round. Adrian Heath is a kaka manager.

Yes, chicken and egg, however that drastic decision (despite all her "a club shouldn't be ripped from its community" nonsense), will still be dragging us down long after SISU have disappeared. In fact, we might never recover.

Totally agree, which is why I think the Wasps decision will affect us more more than SISUs tenure ever will.

Weird, on one hand you're saying that the current situation isn't viable but it MIGHT be, yet on the other you say a new stadium NEVER will be. Blinkered thinking to the extreme. It's my way or the highway, eh? I will throw it back at you, just because a new stadium might not make financial...

So what does make financial sense? How will the club survive long term at the Ricoh and thrive, not just exist?

This one for a start: Paying over a million pounds a year to rent a piece of grass with little income will be the death of this club. The failure of Wasps (fingers crossed) or a "potential" new stadium may well save us.* DISCLAIMER: I don't necessarily think a new stadium will ever be built...

It's not hypothetical really though, is it? Under the old deal we would have paid £52M for the life of the lease just to rent with very little revenue. Who knows what the new deal will be? As Dave points out you are very trusting of Wasps. And some of your claims are laughable.

There is no "safe option".

We'll now always be in debt to someone. Hardly breaking news.

Obviously, there's no guarantee but it would certainly help. Apart from the Gillingham game the atmosphere has been shocking.

Be careful, Jack. The Gentleman will be after you for posting links like this.

I've been in my same seat in the North Stand for ten years since we moved there but would move for the last three games if asked to. We did choose new seats for the Gillingham game as we were told the North was closing, then we moved back for the Y game after they changed their minds. No...

We really do need fans to start turning up at the Ricoh and get behind the team.

Ah well, we didn't lose.

Come on City!!!

They had one down at our end last year too.
