Quote from the council in the CT today So doesn't sound like the "active not passive support from Coventry City Council" Fisher spoke about. Why can't the football club get the same level of assistance Wasps do with any plans. When it was them building at Higgs there were emails from the...

The indoor centre doesn't have the required facilities does it? And there's not the number of pitches required.

Leader of the council quoted in the CT piece odd thing to say as previously he has said if SISU drop the legal action and pay the council off they would assist the club.

Have I missed something, Fisher didn't say we'd already got planning permission did he?

Blimey, forgotten what winning feels like!

What's going on, is Robins the messiah?

From last May

Noise is pretty much a non starter. There will be an acoustic assessment, with that data it will be hard to argue against it. One issue will be how they establish the likely noise, the usual way for an application like this is to take readings at the existing stadium. The crowd at the Ricoh...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

And complaining about next seasons budget!

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?

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 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...

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...

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

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?
