    Yes, it has been explained over and over again. Every club gets matchday and non-matchday revenue apart from us (Stockport I think are the only team in a similar situation to us), of course not all grounds have the potential to make as much as the Ricoh as the Ricoh has excellent facilities for...

    Even if they gave us every penny the club generated, i.e.: all matchday revenues, share of naming rights etc, we would still be behind other clubs.

    Shop being stocked

    If it was me I'd have at least 2 of these out on match days: If there's nowhere to keep them at the Ricoh (surely if one of the halls wasn't in use between matches Wasps would let them use it as storage without charge?) then just tow them back to Ryton between games. Added advantage that...

    Back to the Bad old Days in Coventry

    Is policing, or lack of, causing an issue? Reading about the recent issues at Carters the manager there said they could see trouble was brewing and called the police but they didn't turn up.

    CWR promoting live Wasps commentary

    My Dad listens to CWR a lot and regularly moans to me that the amount of coverage given to Wasps is over the top. In fact he sent in a complaint to CWR, basically saying that it amounts to advertising and CWR is supposed to be a public service station. I think it must be the first thing he's...

    Shop being stocked

    If they have a marketing team they are either incompetent beyond belief or there is a cashflow / money issue that stops them doing anything.

    Shop being stocked

    To be fair this has been going on long before SISU got here. I've always through we should have them in stock as soon as the season ends so people can buy them over the summer when you're more likely to wear a thin short sleeved shirt.

    wasps

    Success would be fantastic, I'd love a promotion season but then what? Try and survive as many seasons as we can before finally getting relegated back down to League 1? That's the best we can hope for at the moment yet a large section of our fanbase aren't prepared to admit it. They seem to...

    The other 19,000 are probably Leicester fans! In all seriousness its a shame you don't get home and away attendances for rugby. People wouldn't be jumping up and down about how fantastic it is if we were playing Man Utd at the Ricoh and 25K of the tickets were sold to their fans.

    Dumb rules in sports

    They do have electronic stumps, the stumps and wickets light up when the stumps come off and that's what's caused the problem as they are heavier than regular stumps. It's happened more than once during the world cup.

    Cov Memorabilia

    Post it to the Herbert, they've got a little section with random memorabilia in it.

    Mexican wave

    What's wrong with that? I'd quite happily wear a Cov shirt if one of our players ever got the nod to play for England.

    Away day memories

    Remember standing on an open terrace in the freezing cold and pouring rain before the Forest League Cup semi final. Kick off kept being delayed as it was being televised and it was the day Mandela was released.

    The mugs are terrible as well, god knows who designed them. Not sure this is the best time of year to get new stock in, can't imagine the shop being busy once the season finishes in a few weeks.

    Do they sell all the tickets before they know who's in the final? Seems an odd idea!

    Dumb rules in sports

    You could easily stop diving, just start at the top. All top level games and internationals are televised so have the footage watched after the match and any dive is given a severe punishment, say a two match ban. Would most likely be chaos at first but you can bet the diving would soon stop...

    Leyton Orient - Wednesday

    Blimey, not only is Waggott a fully qualified medical professional so is Tudgays agents. No wonder you can't get a doctors appointment, they're all working for us!

    Mowbray already planning for next season- SP took the database.

    Not sure, he doesn't seem like the sort of person who would be on twitter but then it doesn't read as a parody account or trying to stir up trouble.

    No scouts

    At the fans forum at the start of the season SP said players in and out were all his decision. Of course he didn't go into specifics, for example does he go I want this player or does he go I need a forward here's a list of 5 possibilities. I guess if we see a noticeable change in the players...

    England squad

    How do you solve that problem, 2 stages of qualification with the 'big' teams coming in later? Can't see that happening as they fixed it this time round so the teams in bigger markets were in the groups with more games. It's similar to the Sky / PL issue, while the grounds are still full and...
