Exactly. If there's 30K every week at the Ricoh nobody is going to support moving to a 15K stadium. And Wasps won't want us to go so will offer us a much better deal. 7-10K at the Ricoh every week and its hard to object to moving to a smaller stadium.

No need to be obtuse. The point is the construction cost is not the same as the amount CCFC would need to finance.

What about 1992 - 2001?

I can't that's why I have repeatedly stated that the financial side has to stack up. What I am not doing is dismissing it out of hand.

Odd that the article didn't include the percentages as it seemed a pretty even split.

Based on what? A city centre stadium I would argue would be much better for supporters. Easy to get to, more local facilities etc. And as for the financial side unless you have seen the financial plan for both the Butts and whatever Wasps are offering for a long term deal how can you know which...

We were in 5th with only 2 losses in 7 when attendances dropped back to 11K

We all thought there was no chance we'd go to Northampton but we did.

We did and the attendances crept up very slowly and dropped right back down as soon as we lost a game.

Funny how when SISU announced the season ticket refund scheme they got a load of stick as there was no way that many people would turn up. Now all of a sudden Wembley wouldn't be big enough for the ticket demands.

If only we did something like that, oh hang on we do. This is where we need the face palm emoji back!

Of course the preference would be for our own PL standard. But thats not an option. And the position we are in at the moment it is highly unlikely we will attract a new owner who can make it happen. So what do we do? Stay at the Ricoh under Wasps for the foreseeable future just hoping for the...

Why? Unless you think a new stadium is going to appear overnight then we will have several more years at the Ricoh. As a landlord that should mean we get consideration. If you're a landlord you don't ignore your tenants because they might move out in five years time. Why? Its not unusual in the...

I think that's a mindset people need to use. If there was a realistic option on the table, or even in the distance, that could match people PL ambitions then great but there isn't. We have to make the best choice out of the options available to us, just wishing there was a better option doesn't...

Nope :wacky:

But the point people seem to be missing is we're not in a great position currently. People are banging on about what happens when we get in the PL but staying at the Ricoh we have virtually no chance of getting in the PL. If, when all the options are examined, the Butts is the best option to put...

Can't have it both ways. Either things stay as they are and 15K will be fine or we have success and its full every week. I haven't seen the budget for the new stadium so I'm not sure where you've pulled tens and tens of millions from. The council only put £10m in for the Ricoh, less than 10% of...

The Wasps flags were put up by ACL, they have now replaced them with MTV flags. Strange that they seem keen to promote events at the Ricoh but not CCFC matches there.

Has anyone said they have no aspiration to be in the PL? Maybe we have no option that allows for that.

Why is it more likely we will move up the leagues staying at the Ricoh if it is shown a move to the Butts is the better option financially? Nobody is suggesting doing it on a wing and a prayer but there are a small group on here who wish to dismiss the idea out of hand and sign up as Wasps...
