    New stadium meeting with RBC

    I think in many ways this is good news. SISUs bluff, assuming it is a bluff, can now be called. Although its not a final deadline its pretty clear that to have any chance of success the September deadline is key. That puts the ball firmly in SISU's court, they have until September to get their...

    New stadium meeting with RBC

    I don't think there's that many clubs who don't get the income from their stadium. Even if you discount the extra facilities the Ricoh has, such as the exhibition halls, we still need to have access to all revenues to be on the same footing as other clubs. When was this? Was it just ruled out...

    new kit details

    On the club shop this years away kit is listed as 2014 - 2016 but if we're changing suppliers I would expect it to change.

    When do we expect to hear about Mowbray ?

    Can't see it taking long. He seems to know what he wants so it just needs a yes or no from SISU. If its a no he'll want it known ASAP so he's considered for other jobs.

    North Stand petition

    That's what block 25 is reserved for. According to the club the health and safety bods won't allow that. Think they get referred to as the safety committee, not sure if that's part of the council or ACL. I have no idea why at every other club you only have to be separated by a couple of rows...

    Saturdays confirmed.

    They more than likely will however its a FL rule that we get first choice over dates and other rugby premiership teams seem able to work round this so I think we'll be OK on this one.

    Waggot is hurting too

    With FFP couldn't you make a pretty good estimate of the maximum each club could spend from their accounts which are publically available.

    North Stand petition

    All those that sign the petition should have to give their card details, if enough of them sign the club can take a payment and send them all season tickets!

    Election 2015

    that's the problem, it's great for people who actually want to own a home but if you aren't building new social housing at least as quickly as you're selling it off you've got a problem. Should also put a restriction on them so they can't be let out. Seems to be a large chunk of social housing...

    Stokes released by FGR

    He can't cost much in wages, a decent enough squad player. No problem with offering him a contract but if he asks for silly money not worth pursuing.

    Cashless System is Back!

    I was told that the issue with using the season ticket cards was that Wasps wanted an unreasonably large admin fee for us to use it. The stance, as I was led to believe it, is that it would be nice but not worth throwing money at.

    Early bird prices out:

    The budget will no doubt have been based on selling a certain number of season tickets. That total is likely to have been broken down so they have an expectation to have sold a certain number by a certain date. With your plan those numbers will be way down, at that point do you think it is more...

    Cashless System is Back!

    I liked the cashless thing, don't know why so many people had a problem with it. The bigger problem is it seems to surprise the kiosks that at half time there's a sudden rush of people and they struggle to cope, they need to work on getting stuff prepared and served quicker. Wouldn't be...

    Season Tickets

    They don't use the cashless anymore do they? Or is it making a comeback. I've still got my old card somewhere that probably has a few quid on it.

    anyone know of any good Tv, phone and broadband packages

    With the latest Sky price hike I'm paying over £100 a month for TV, broadband and phone (which I never use). Seriously considering binning the lot and moving to freeview. Already have Netflix, maybe sign up for Hulu Plus as well (not too hard to get round the geo restrictions by the look of...

    Realistic good signings.

    He'd be on my list for sure, pretty consistent throughout his career. Has experience without being over the hill. He signed for Crawley last summer and it was a 2 year deal so unless he has a get out for relegation he might cost us. Not a huge amount I wouldn't have thought, worth it to have...

    Early bird prices out:

    I believe that is just simply the FL generate their fixtures first and supply them to whoever it is that sorts the rugby fixtures out and they ensure theres no clashes. Fixtures in general aren't as random as some people think. For example the police can request that Villa and Birmingham don't...

    Early bird prices out:

    It wasn't always 0% when they did have that option was it? Could always get a 0% credit card and do it that way.

    No reason to celebrate-Got to act quick now

    The few quality loans should be the final pieces and we shouldn't be reliant on them. If we are relying on them becoming available and then they don't materialise we've got another season similar to this one. Get our own squad together and if loan players become available that will add to that...
