I like the don't rock the boat comment as if some random chap not believing him on facebook is going to cause the whole imaginary deal to collapse.

Would be amazed if he comes here. If he did I suspect there would be some agreement that he has to play.

Well at least it won't be 5-0. IMO this is where having such long tours is a problem. 3-0 down with 1 to go all England will be thinking about is it all being over but they're away until the start of April. 10 one days, 5 T20's and another 3 tests against New Zealand.

Why are you putting additional conditions on it? That's not how it should work, an owners fancies a certain ground arrangement so they up and move across the country. Stop making excuses for them. The primary consideration should be the history of the club and its supoorters not what type of...

Might as well abandon it now and let everyone head off and get ready for the next test. Chucking it down, even if they get back on at some point there's no chance of a result.

Are you deliberately being obtuse? As I said before I wasn't just referring to those examples. There are plenty of clubs, both football and rugby, in London who have moved to new stadiums in recent years. Therefore the assertion that it was impossible for Wasps to do so doesn't stand up. Not...

I'm not saying that specific site, I'm saying it is possible. Other teams mange it. They even manage it incredibly close to Wasps traditional home. Anyway Wasps moved temporarily to High Wycombe in 2002 so could easily have got involved with any plans from that point on as other Premiership...

Without examining all new stadiums I couldn't say but AFC seems to follow the model of the Ricoh in that a small amount of capital is required (in the Ricoh's case £10m) and then the rest can be access via grants and the development of adjacent land for non stadium purposes. In the case of the...

But the point is Barnet have built and moved to a new stadium. Something we are being told was an impossibility for Wasps.

Either way it shows that the claim it was not possible for Wasps to move back to London is completely false. I think Wimbledon are putting in £7m towards the project and in return get the lease for the stadium. So a similar amount Wasps have got the lease on the Ricoh for. At the end of the...

No its on the site of the old dog racing stadium which was owned by Galliard Homes. No, the land was (and possibly still is) owned by the council. Wealdstone were planning a new ground there but their investment partner went out of business so the plug got pulled on the project. The council...

For those heading to the game tomorrow

How does everyone else afford it? They were offered use of the Brentford Community Stadium which is just over a mile from their original ground but turned it down. London Irish will be moving there instead. How have clubs like Barnet and AFC Wimbledon managed it, not exactly clubs renowned for...

If you believe that Wasps could only survive hand to mouth as tenants of a football club then surely you have to acknowledge that Wasps being here and owning the Ricoh has the safe effect on CCFC.

Exactly, look how our crowds have dropped off when people have decades of supporting the club behind them and possibly generations of family members. If that happens to us what happens to a club who have been here for a few years if they start going downhill.

Thats a big problem for Wasps. It means those fans have little in the way of loyalty and certainly won't be turning up every week if Wasps can't sustain success on the pitch. That will push them to spend on players to maintain that position even though they are running at a loss.

Kieran, the chap who used to do the clubs social media, said he was really affected by the abuse he got from our fans when he left and was then loaded back. That was Joy I think, said we had a stake in the rest of his career.
