A (factual) piece in the FT about how much investors money has been sunk into CCFC and what result the investors have had would have a much bigger impact than any petition.

Interestingly I was speaking to someone this morning who works at ACL who said Wasps were getting a little concerned that the paid attendances from locals, which they seems to class as CV1 to CV6, was dropping off. Couldn't get any details on numbers unfortunately.

Bit strange how its now £70m when 12-18 months ago they were making discrete enquires to potential purchasers and giving a ball park of less than half that.

Is it Byng, has he learnt how to use email yet?

Not sure that's right. Anyone can bring a JR. Maybe they mean the organisation that original started the JR being liquidated but that wouldn't necessarily happen if the club was liquidated would it?

Does raise questions though doesn't it. If ST tried to do the same and were told it wasn't possible so sold the land at a lower value to Wasps and then once Wasps own it suddenly it can be built on and is worth far more.

FA and FL scheduled to be there according to Les Reid.

Of course not but I'm sure our local media, who have never done a deal with that same council to suppress stories for Wasps and the councils benefit will be thoroughly investigating the rapidly rising number of coincidences to ensure nothing untoward is going on.

And strange that the council wouldn't let Severn Trent build on the land but are happy for Wasps to.

moved it to the other thread as people were talking about it in there. Sure its just another coincidence that Wasps who, according to their owner Richardson, aren't interested in property development 'I’m not a property developer, I’ve never developed anything in my life. I’ve never thought of...

Interesting that the council wouldn't let Seven Trent build there but are supporting Wasps plans. Another coincidence no doubt.

Sure its just another coincidence that Wasps who, according to their owner Richardson, aren't interested in property development 'I’m not a property developer, I’ve never developed anything in my life. I’ve never thought of this as something I might make profit from.' are now moving into...

Care to show me where I've made that claim? I was saying everything Wasps do is for their own benefit and about their brand hence their teams, including their new netball team, not having the city in their name and attempting to brand everything yellow and black, colours that have no connection...

You have to present a viable way out. SISU don't have one, if someone came up with one they'd be off like a shot. Selling the Ricoh quite possibly removed the only viable exit strategy.

That's certainly a valid argument. However at the moment we're short on options. If the Butts proves to be viable then its probably our best option. Get ourselves into a better position and we become more attractive for one of those foreign investors who want to put silly money in. Remember we...

By tweaks do you mean signing a player capable of scoring?

Or someone they know will agree to what ever crap deal they offer us.

The CRFC chap explicitly stated when he spoke about the Cov Utd deal that CCFC were kept fully informed. The clear implication there is that it doesn't impact any plans with CCFC. Do we even know how long the Cov Utd deal lasts? They have moved grounds several times already so another move...

While I agree that everyone should sign what is the plan? Lets say it gets 100K signatures and Simon hires a van to drive down to London and present it to SISU. What then? I can see them chucking it straight in the recycling bin. Doesn't there need to be more than 'SISU out' or 'sell the club'...

While in general I'd agree I think this time there's a difference. If people are being asked to push SISU to sell knowing there is a new owner waiting is a big plus. Unless you're suggesting, similar to the Wasps deal, there is someone lined up to takeover on the basis the deal is done on the...
