Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I was excited to have a new ground at the time. Don't get me wrong I loved HR but apart from the new stand it was in a bit of a state and there was limited room for improvement. I think the problem with the Ricoh are more to do with our lack of ownership (for...

FFS, people are just looking for stuff to complain about. This kind of thing doesn't even cross my mind and I'm sure it doesn't cross the minds of the writers either. And if you're going to pick on any show then I wouldn't have thought TWD was a prime target, they've had a decent number of...

Interesting. If players like Marriott and Jones are coming in are we spending some money? Can't imagine we'd be able to pick them up for free when there is competition to sign them.

We can not buy Wasps tickets, merchandise or support them in any way.

Totally independent so we are told despite many of the same people being involved with both. Mutton is, or at least was at one point, a Centre trustee.

So its not about the fight but about goading people into a fight and then winning it? :thinking about: Why should others have to deal with this. If I wanted to have a pint in the Cherry Tree on the way to the match surely I should be able to do that without worrying about it all kicking off...

But surely the fact that a bid was put in makes a nonsense of Fisher claiming they wouldn't have done the same deal as Wasps.

Its on there somewhere, god knows where - their site is not the easiest to find things. From what I recall CCC, and most other councils, have guidelines which are basically an easier to digest version of various parts of the Local Government Act. At the end of the day the ownership structure of...

If these 'firms' want to beat the crap out of each other and pretend its still the 70s why don't they just arrange to meet up in a field or something. Couldn't care less then, let them get on with it as long as they are away from the general public.

Cricket has the same issue as football. As much as those in charge want to push it and seem to be all about equality the standard of the games is poor. If you've got Sky there's shedloads of top level football and cricket, there's no chance large numbers of people will start watching an...

I didn't dislike JOB, although he did have a touch of the headless chicken at times. The issue is that he seems to have fallen out with Mowbray. Given that we're not hearing rumours of any other in the issues in the dressing room I think we have to give Mowbray the benefit of the doubt here and...

Its a hell of an effort. Is he likely to have done himself long term damage from this? I mean its not like he's an athlete or anything, got to be a huge strain on the body.

There's various guidelines on the CCC website, and every other council seems to have documents very similar. The closest matches are probably disposal of assets and disposal of land both of which are very similar in that they require marketing and the seller to be able to illustrate fair market...

But again you can't possibly know that. How do you know, for example, that one of the other rugby teams who ground share wouldn't have been interested? How do you know someone wouldn't have been interested in buying it to sublet, or to convert it to another use. That's the whole point. Have an...

No that's not what they should do. Forget about SISU, assume we went to Northampton permanently and aren't ever coming back. Now how does CCC achieve the best return for the taxpayer? Do they agree a secret deal incurring a loss for them and Higgs whilst surprising the local media or do they...

Its all a bit of a shambles. Are they having a PL U21s or are they playing in the JPT? What happens when the top teams leave the PL to form a European League as has been suggested recently? The FL, FA and possibly UEFA and FIFA as well need to sit down and come up with a long term plan. To me...

That's correct. I've seen this justification from a couple of people now and its crazy. You're saying SISU and Grendel are stupid for thinking nobody else would be interested but also saying CCC were right to sell to Wasps as nobody else would have been interested! The simple fact is there is...

I'm not hanging on anything. I just think it is nonsense to suggest that Wasps will become the biggest club as a result of buying ACL and also asset that it would have somehow crippled us and we would have been unable to run it effectively.

But you celebrate Wasps buying it for far less. How have you drawn the conclusion the club could't handle running ACL while in L1? Are crowds are equitable to Wasps, and of course with more games the total numbers are higher. I see nothing to indicate that Wasps have done anything any other...
