    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    Not at all but if you are of the belief that Wasps are issuing false statements to manipulate the public perception of their move I would suggest you should be more worried about what else isn't true, particularly with reference to our stay as their tenant, than how many people are staying in...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    The huge % of people who Wasps claim come from a CV postcode are not likely to be staying in hotels when they go to a Wasps match.

    I got the transfer fees by googling and taking the most commonly quoted figure so its not a case of just picking a number as you seem to suggest. Anyone you are totally missing the point. The fact is that when SISU arrived there was a period in which they appointed a 'name' manager and spent...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    I seem to recall that prior to Richardson even getting involved in Wasps he approached CRFC about working with them to bring a premiership side to Coventry. Rossborough (I think, might have been someone else from CRFC) spoke about it on CWR.

    Wasps to pay back Ricoh Arena loan "within days"

    Not just people who have signed up since the move either. I was taking a look at their forum a while back and there was comments that long time posters had been banned for daring to speak out against the move to Coventry.

    Actually if you look back it proves the point. Season before SISU: 20,370 Season when SISU arrived (in December): 19,123, signed Coleman as manager, Dann (undisclosed, reported to be over £1m), Fox (£400K) and Westwood (£500K) SISU's first full season: 17,407, signed Eastwood (£1.2m), Bell...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    I would guess the spend per head outside of the ground is higher for CCFC than for Wasps. If, and at the moment it seems a million miles away, we were successful and 30K a week were turning up 20 or more times a season that would be a boost to business around the Ricoh. Of course you still have...

    Plus of course pressure could then be applied to SISU to increase the player budget. We're not really in a position to moan about the budget at the moment when this board is full of people saying they aren't going anymore and won't renew their season tickets.

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    We've been down this road before when we buggered off to Sixfields. It's an incredibly hard thing to calculate accurately. Lets try and break it down. In terms of job creation you are looking at a few more hours 11 times a year for people on zero hour contracts with a low hourly wage. Of course...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    I think it's less to do with not agreeing with people and more the fact that someone on a Coventry City forum has managed to make over 200 posts without once talking about the club or football! If he wants to come on here as a representative of Wasps then he should be open about it, although...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    If a member of the press could actually ask the questions needed I wouldn't need to post about it again ;) Have tried getting the answers myself but everything gets batted away as confidential. If you were the suspicious type you might think they had something to hide.

    Wasps to pay back Ricoh Arena loan "within days"

    So nothing like buying a house as you claimed :facepalm:

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    Is it April 1st? That piece has to be a wind up surely? These are the sort of questions the CT should be pressuring her on. There's so many inconsistencies in the council's story. When are the important questions going to be asked?

    Wasps to pay back Ricoh Arena loan "within days"

    Even if you ignore the fact that buying a house is not even remotely similar to a bond issue it doesn't' even work as an analogy. If I wanted a huge mortgage but when the bank looked at my bank statements I was spending millions more every year than I had in income I don't think they'd be very...

    Sisu make official complaint over Coventry councillors' conduct

    For someone who's supposed to be intheknow there's a lot of uncertainly in his posts. For Wasps sake I really hope he's not someone involved on the business side, god help them if he is!

    Sisu make official complaint over Coventry councillors' conduct

    Just google Michael McIndoe and you'll get the idea ;) Basically part of the new debt they've created is money to pay the interest. If they aren't completely stupid, and the jurys out on that one, they will ring fence that money so the interest can be paid. They don't need to repay everyone...
