The obvious solution here is for Just Sports to polybag the tops being sent through the post.

all sounds fairly positive.

Are they talking about trying to make this viable using the player budget they have for this season or extra money from SISU to fund a pre-season tour? To be honest given that we will be getting players coming in well after the season has started I'm not sure there's a huge advantage to a...

That seems very low to me with the sort of crowds they are hoping to attract. Given they want crowds 2 - 3 times the size of ours shouldn't they be aiming to have sold 10K - 15K season tickets by now?

You can't separate the sale of ACL and the fact that Wasps moved 85 miles to facilitate the move as they are inextricably linked. SISU would have reasonably assumed that it was a 'one horse race'. Who else in Coventry would have need of a 30K capacity stadium? There was mentions of CRFC moving...

We'll hit the same problem the men's game has. Lack of facilities and lack of qualified coaches. Suspect if someone like Cahill had done the same thing in injury time in a World Cup semi we wouldn't be seeing the level of praise we are seeing now, think it would be more likely he would be...

But without the lease that has little value. My understanding is the lease is not tied to Wasps and is held in a separate company, also a separate company to ACL itself, so if either company fails the ownership of the lease does not revert to CCC I said full time as anything else really is...

According to the CT this deal runs for 15 years, up until 2030 so that makes turnover £13m a year. That is only £0.5m a year higher than was claimed when the original deal with Compass was signed. Be interesting to see how accurate that projection was and how that equated to profit for ACL...

I can imagine what this forum, the CT comments and CWR phone in would have been like if SISU had purchased the stadium then immediately asked fans to loan them millions to pay off the money owed to themselves.

TF says a lot of things. He said they wouldn't have bought with the loan outstanding after they had put in an offer to pay the same as Wasps with the loan remaining outstanding so SISU's actions would appear to contradict Fishers words. What did anyone expect him to say after the sale? That he...

How about if you went to speak with your neighbours and they said they wanted £5m for the house but they'd retain ownership of the garden, if you wanted access to the garden you'd have to pay extra. A few months later they sell it to someone from London for half the value of your house?

Are you sure about that? Any evidence for this? How many full time salaried posts have been created for local residents with Wasps arrival? I would doubt that, I would say having a successful football team would generate a much higher profile than a rugby team. As we know, confirmed by the...

No, what he is clearly saying is you are holding Wasps up of a shining example of the correct way to do business and something SISU should aspire to. Their method of business involved moving their club 85 miles. Either you think this is acceptable or not - its that simple. If you don't think...

If you don't like sitting with the commoners!

A is nice but does look at bit like a rugby top. Think I'd go for B as I'm a fan of the green & black kits and it makes a difference to the vertical stripes we usually have.

You stated that Wasps took the 'right approach'. Given that this involved moving the club 85 miles purely in the interests of making a deal which was financially advantageous would you be happy if SISU moved us 85 miles to take advantage of a similar deal? Would you think this was the right...

I get about 4 or 5 episodes in before I start getting confused about which family everyone belongs to!

Lets go through this again. One thing its worth remembering is we ended up with SISU as owners largely because CCC refused to deal with any of their other interested parties as, with the exception of SISU, they had all identified a need for ground ownership as part of any takeover. Ownership...

That's the key question. And a question the council have so far refused to answer. Was ACL available to SISU on the same terms it was eventually sold to Wasps? Personally I take the refusal to answer as a strong indication that the answer is no. If they wasn't the case I think the council would...

I've tried getting into this 3 times now and never make it past the first few episodes.
