Unlike you I don't see the loss of fans from CCFC and CRFC to a franchise rugby club as something to celebrate.

Maybe there should have been one, to be honest I was living abroad for a lot of that time so you would know better than me if there was a lot of opposition locally. But the point remains objections could have been made at the planning stage and there was years between the stadium first being...

Where in black and white does it make any mention of needing to sell or putting ACL up for sale? It's just not there. Even if it was there for something such as moving in a rugby team from London I would expect a local council to consult with those it will impact on such as CCFC, CRFC and the...

It would allow them to get a new smaller stadium in place very quickly and then as and when required it can either be expanded or the temporary stands be replaced with permanent stands. What they could do, as an example, is buy the land at Bermuda and put in one permanent stand containing the...

And there is exactly the problem. Wasps and CCC, as well as their new local supporters, claim no damage will be done to CRFC yet you are telling me it was full of kids who have a new hero and demand to go again, how many of those are now potential supporters of CRFC, or CCFC for that matter, who...

It was wasps themselves that over 90% of ticket sales were to CV postcodes, are you saying they were lying?

The Ricoh hardly appeared overnight did it? What was it 98 or 99 when it was first announced with no building starting until 02 or 03, seems plenty of time for people to raise objections.

I have zero interest in rugby but totally agree with you Lee, why are these 20K plus not bothering to go and watch our own cities team. I have no interest in rugby or speedway but still feel pride when our teams do well, Wasps winning is meaningless to me, they could win everything going for the...

As much as people seem to want there to be a falling out if both Fisher and Eastwood are saying it's not a problem then there's not a problem is there no matter what anyone else thinks?

How can you not see a difference between moving 3 miles and moving nearly 100? If we are to move to Bermuda there will be a planning application and plenty of time for people to raise objections, that didn't happen with Wasps move, by the time anyone knew about it the deal was done.

So you're saying when CCC kept talking about how well ACL was doing, CCFC being less than 10% of it's income, busier then ever diary that was all lies?

Had a quick look into this. Take a look at this, cost £15m to build, holds 18K and was constructed, start to finish, in less than 100 days. Is designed to last 5 - 10 years and can be expanded to 25K. From the sounds of things the expansion can be done very quickly as it mentions it being...

Yes exactly that. CCC are not a private company, this is not like BT buying EE or a similar deal. CCC's primary concern should be the city of Coventry and the requirements of it's population. We have a football team and a rugby team that have both been based in the city for well over 100 years...

Once again one simple question for CCC to answer. Did they offer the sale of a 250 year lease to SISU for under £6m. Forget what Fisher said or didn't say, forget what Lucas said or didn't say. If they did not inform the club that a 250 year lease could be purchased for under £6m they are in the...

Why on earth would you want owners who have just been shown to have no issue with moving a club nearly a hundred miles away from it's home? The same manner they have been showing since they have been here? So you want them to treat Wasps as a priority over CCFC at every turn. Wouldn't that be...

I've said before there's 2 options here: 1) CCC weren't being truthful about the current and future state of ACL (i.e.: Fisher was right) - in that scenario CCC have questions to answer as they have been deceptive. 2) CCC were being truthful about the current and future state of ACL (i.e...

This division is terrible and while I believe our squad is not as good as last years I don't think its as bad as our league position and form suggests. That then leaves either a lack of effort and / or motivation or tactics. Both of those are SP's responsibility.

Our own stadium either or the city or as near to it as possible.

I'm coming round to the idea that 12-15K will be fine. The key is how quickly it can be upgraded in the event the demand is regularly there. I'd be looking at maybe a permanent main stand with the dressing rooms, shop, offices etc and make use of temporary stands for the rest. If you do that...

I don't think the problem is if we play 4-5-1 or 4-4-2, the problem is how we play using either system. 1 or 2 upfront we are not giving them service and everyone behind them is sitting far too deep and allowing the opposition to come onto us and keep us under pressure. How often when we're...
