Well it was Richardson not Eastwood but ignoring that I would say all the evidence suggests on this matter they are telling the truth. If they only wanted a 50% stake they could have left 50% with Higgs or let SISU buy the Higgs 50% unchallenged. They did neither of those and then said the move...

Would depend on the details but if we assume a straight 50 / 50 share with CCFC receiving the revenues from all football at the Ricoh and Wasps getting the revenues from all rugby with everything else split evenly then it may be workable. The extra facilities at the Ricoh should mean additional...

Wasps have already said there's no chance of that happening.

That wasn't the question!

So you don't want it in Coventry? :D

The whole thing stinks and the more people dig into it the more it stinks. I read the other day that prior to Wasps moving another club had requested that the RFU allow them to move or they would go bust, the RFU refused and they went out of business.

Is this just based off one letter in the CT? Can't find any other references to it.

I think that might be the same interview I was talking about yesterday. if it is it actually happened before Richardson took over at Wasps. Would seem to indicate that his plan from day one at Wasps was to move them despite constantly assuring their fan base it wouldn't happen.

Has she been to a game since she boycotted over that? The last time I heard Lucas interviewed on CWR when talking about being a CCFC supporter she always used the past tense.

How dare SISU the club working with a local charity on community projects. Disgraceful behaviour.

Will definitely be watching MOTD tonight:D

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...

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.

Dann (undisclosed, reported to be over £1m): Dann signed for the Sky Blues from Walsall for more than £1m Source: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/gossip-southampton-chasing-scott-dann-3015780 Fox (£400K): it is believed that the club will receive in the region of...

3 minute hat trick!

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...

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.

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...
