    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    Objectivity isn't needed because it shouldn't be happening. Wasps should not be upping sticks and moving 75-100 miles from their fan base. Did you and others look at the move to Northampton "objectively" or did you think it was wrong? Did you think "Hold on, I will think carefully about this...

    Fight!

    I'd like to book tickets for the Rob vs PWKH battle royale please. Hope I'm not sat next to Jack, Astute, Dongo et al, I wouldn't want to be covered in the underwear they'd be throwing around. :)

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be any objectivity. ACL are parachuting a team in 100 miles from their natural base, and 75 miles from their current one. Franchising in it's purest form. No different to what SISU and MK Dons were vilified for. In the case of CCFC it was only temporary. This...

    He was a little like Elvis in Vegas on here.

    Wasps deal is for 100% of ACL

    No, with the tag-team combination of SISU, ACL and CCC I think you'll find we did.

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    Well on here, we've had a full range of corkers: 1. Wasps need a home 2. It's business 3. Yeah but, it's all SISUs fault 4. Good for the people of Coventry 5. What can ACL be expected to do 6. CRFC don't mind 7. Wasps fans don't seem to mind 8. They are a nomadic club anyway 9. It's...

    Can Wasps' consortium fund the deal

    Really can't understand any of it. Who are going to support the Wasps, what will the crowds be?

    Can Wasps' consortium fund the deal

    Oh, they'll be leaving town tonight, will they? Good stuff.

    Absolutely. Imagine the uproar if you know who were doing this today.

    Can Wasps' consortium fund the deal

    Don't worry, I think you'll be a happy chappy by the end of the day.

    That's that then.

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    Totally agree. What ever anyone's political hue they really should admire politicians like Nellist. Guys who are genuinely not in it for themselves. And as you say Lucas has really sold out on this.

    Wasps deal is for 100% of ACL

    Out of context? No, because I would never ever type "Wasps need a home", well apart from just then. :o If they need a home then find one in London. You, CCC and Cardoza are a right little Band of Brothers, aren't you?

    Wasps deal is for 100% of ACL

    Four words. Four words and a pretty piss-poor excuse if ever I’ve seen one. “There wasn't any plan for us to try and tempt another club away from their local community for our financial gain. We are simply helping a fellow football club at their request.” That was Cardoza, he was simply...

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    ALways liked Nellist. Years ago me and my mate used to take our decks and play records in quite a few pubs around and about. On the front of our decks we had a sticker "Vote Dave Nellist". One landlord told us to take it off, we refused, and he asked us to leave, which we did. It was a New...

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    Yep, not what I expected to hear. And who knows, not what ACL expected to hear either. But people can't have it both ways. Previously fans were writing to councillors asking them NOT to sell to the club and fans still do that now, so they're getting what they want at least. Not sure about...

    Don't agree with you there, Fred. The team was getting investment and that was the problem, too much investment. So much so that wages accounted for 125%. Crowds were dropping and 22K was more than adequate for us and still would be. The new stadium should never have been built. It was a...

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    I agree, but they would only have been met with a chorus of "it's all your own fault". The CT did it anyway.

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    But the contract was surely signed before the Wasps deal was known about - as has been mentioned somewhere or other. Surely, those kind of things should be discussed with the current tenant? Do you not agree? Or do you like to keep sidetracking so no questions are asked of ACL?
