    CCFC reponse to Ricoh affair

    Think they need to make a stronger statement than that. You can't say you're moving out but should be involved in discussions anyway. Just come out and say our first choice is to stay at the Ricoh long term with an ownership stake. They don't even need to stop talking bollocks about the new...

    Open Letter To Coventry Council

    Letter seems spot on to me. No one really seems to know what is happening so a chance to breath and hold some consultation would be good.

    100% of ACL, 250-year lease, £20m. C'mon Mr Fisher!

    They should still submit a bid in my opinion. At the moment we're a bit in limbo as everything the club is saying states they are building their own stadium and have no interest in the Ricoh. If they said our first choice is an ownership stake in the Ricoh and here is an offer at the very least...

    Labour group votes to approve £19.5m Ricoh sale to Wasps

    Blimey, away from the forum for a few hours and there's thousands of posts! To save me reading them all are we screwed or not or do we still not know whats going on?

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    Did either of those get an answer from Fisher?

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    Surely if they need primacy it will be in the contract they've just singed with ACL? I think this kind of thing is distracting from the bigger issues. Is Fisher trying to sidetrack people by getting them whipped up about things that can easily be resolved (already been said tonight that Wasps...

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    And it was only last week his boss was saying they had no interest. If they could all get their stories straight it would be a start.

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    What happens when we're top of the PL and Sky want to put our game on every Sunday?

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    Which makes the point even stronger, the less Wasps are actually paying the less sense it makes for SISU to build a new ground rather than make a similar offer.

    Questions for Waggott and Fisher at the Trust open meeting

    Can you ask Fisher how many turkeys it takes to make an eagle.

    A vote of no confidence in the City of Coventry?

    They should have the Bees racing round outside the pitch at the same time.

    A vote of no confidence in the City of Coventry?

    What are you on about? It seems to me if Blaze formed in 96 and moved to Cov 4 years later that is more comparable to Arsenal (formed in 1886 and moved in 1913) than Wimbledon (formed in 1889 and moved in 2003). How have you got from that to not being able to complain if we moved to Dublin?

    A vote of no confidence in the City of Coventry?

    To give it a football reference probably closer to Arsenal and people don't go round calling them a franchise team.

    There was another chap on the radio just after the story broke from CRFC, wasn't Rosborough, but he didn't seem too against it either. Biggest concern seemed to be that if they moved their academy up here that it was linked up to CRFC rather than any other local team. I've been surprised, to be...

    A vote of no confidence in the City of Coventry?

    No idea if it's true or not but someone once told me when having this type of discussion that Solihull couldn't complain as they moved the team from Birmingham in the first place. As I say could be total bollocks, anyone of those more knowledgable on this subject know if there's anything to that?

    sisu on the ropes

    I'm not a local taxpayer but I'm sure for those that are it is fairly easy to speak to and question your councillors. I would imagine what councils do and don't disclose is covered by some form of regulation so if they aren't revealing information that should be in the public domain there would...

    Took my wife to a boxing day game a few years ago as she didn't want to be left with my Mum at home, she still complains about how terrible it was! I just say to her, think what its like for me, I've had decades of this.

    sisu on the ropes

    Exactly, how many statements have we had from SISU over the years about transparency and engaging with the fans and every time they're basically saying just go with what we are saying at the moment and we'll improve things in the future. There's only so many times you can try that trick before...
