    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

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

    Stand up if you've never watched 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...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    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.

    James Maddison sell on clause? Bid from WEST HAM

    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.

    points taken against the teams in the lower Reaches of league 2

    I highly doubt the teams at the bottom of the league are better than those at the top so its down to tactics. Robins can't come up with a way to beat teams who are happy to sit behind the ball and take a point or hit us on the break. Doesn't help that are players struggle to convert chances. If...

    Terrible Christmas Presents

    Nasty, no broken bones I hope. We ended up at the hospital last Christmas Day. Dad collapsed, fair play to the emergency services, they were there in minutes and sorted him out.

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Well we don't have a lease to tear up now so if SISU decide it is in their, not the clubs, best financial interests to move CCFC 85 miles away can we assume you will be posting on here defending them and telling us they have done nothing wrong?

    Who is it you think meets the definition of benefactor to CCFC?

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    Our move to Northampton was purely an attempt by our owners to benefit themselves financially. Wasps move to Coventry was purely for their owner to benefit himself financially. Paid himself from the bond issue and eventually admitted in the CT that it was a move based on property development...

    Stand up if you've never watched Wasps

    How can you say Wasps had other options but its fine for them to move here but then say we were wrong to go to Northampton because we had other options?
