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...

Think you've missed the point. According to that article CCC dismissed the offer from Shaprio as derisory as they wanted some land by the stadium to develop. They then spent the next few years moaning that SISU wouldn't develop the land around the Ricoh for them.

If Wasps had been playing for over 100 years in Nuneaton but were in a similar situation to us, had sold their old ground for some reason and ended up with nowhere to play so had been playing in Northampton for the last 10 years (similar distance they moved away initially) and purchased the...

Wasps have played in various places in London from 1866 until 1923 when they moved to Sudbury in London and stayed there until 1996 when they moved to Loftus Road before moving to Wycombe, which is approx 20 miles from London. They've now moved to the Ricoh which is over 90 miles from what Wasps...
