    In your opinion will we eventually move to the Butts

    The only opportunity would be when planning permission is applied for and any objection would have to be on valid planning grounds not just 'we don't want them next door'. It will be a lot easier to get planning permission to expand an existing stadium which they have chosen to move next door...

    You ever been the first person in a stadium?

    Used to get there really early at HR when I was a kid to watch all the warms ups and everything. Don't ever remember being the first though.

    Mondays meeting with Fisher

    That was the reason for the deadline for the club going into admin I think. Basically he was made a pence in the pound offer but thought it was too low so didn't accept. He was then faced with either accepting or the club going into admin and him potentially getting a lot less. The key here is...

    Mondays meeting with Fisher

    The full debt won't be paid off but surely Arvo are going to expect a return of at least the value of the assets they hold a charge over.

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    No, we need revenue access. You would have to assume that Sharp sees this as a as good, if not better, option or he wouldn't be open to the idea.

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    If you read between the lines of what Sharp said when announcing Cov Utd playing there that will stop if we move there. Bears is in the summer so less of an issue, hasn't there been rumours of Wasps wanting them at the Ricoh?

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    What I took from last night is that CRF own the site. There would then be a prop co, presumably a joint venture, which would be the company the investment was put in to. The site would still belong to CRFC and both us and CRFC would rent from the prop co. Of course rent can mean many things, £1...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    The way I look at it is if we all back it there's two potential outcomes. 1) its all a load of rubbish and by supporting it and trying to push things forward that will be exposed conclusively a lot sooner; 2) there is actually a plan and I'm perfectly happy sharing a stadium in the city centre...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    A statement from Cov rugby’s Jon Sharp, revealed for the first time here, reads: “Following the reports of the mediation process, we at Coventry Rugby Club ( CRL ) are pleased to see some progress in attempt to bring closure to what has been a disruptive period for all parties in this city. “If...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Also notice no far no response from the Council and Wasps saying they aren't attending mediation.

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Can't really argue with anything Sharp has said. Don't think any of our supporters would want a plan that had a negative impact on the rugby club. If this is all a smoke screen I don't get what Sharp stands to benefit by assisting Fisher / SISU?

    Mondays meeting with Fisher

    Basically that the Welsh and Irish supporters clubs should have been given their own allocation for Wembley (not sure why). After he'd rambled on for what seemed like forever it turned out the Irish lot did have their own allocation and the reason the Welsh didn't was that they hadn't bothered...

    Flintoff & Savage podcast

    Anyone been listening to these, think its also a show on R5. Some great stuff on there, would recommend giving it a go.

    Mondays meeting with Fisher

    Can make a pretty good guess at what he was going to say, essentially who would buy the club in the state its in. That chap saying he would give them a pound for it and then when Fisher asked him how he'd fund running the club he just said local sponsors! Fisher should have asked him how he'd...

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    I just think arguing about the exact capacity, the engineering of it, parking, planning, the old boys flats etc is jumping the gun. Don't give Fisher excuses, just tell him its a fantastic idea and get on with it. What's he going to do if the Trust, local media, supporters, council, all the...

    You already planning the opening ceremony for the new stadium?

    The Butts - CRFC Confirms it is willing to join mediation talks

    Give the old boys free season tickets. They've moved into a retirement village in the middle of student housing on the outskirts of the city centre next to a stadium. They can't be expecting silence.

    Mondays meeting with Fisher

    Wasn't that when he was asked about selling the club? Before everyone interrupted I took it as meaning if we want the club sold we have to make it attractive and not be on the pitch, chucking tennis balls etc. The sound did drop on my stream a few times so I could easy have got the wrong end of...

    What's the point of having a salary cap where you don't include your most expensive players?
