Supporting this club has taught me assume the worst, it will probably be worse than you imagined it possibly could be.

If nothing else who thinks I'll take a club who only pull 6K based vaguely close to London and move them to Coventry where the local rugby team struggle to get an attendance in 4 figures? Doesn't seem a sound business move. Coventry doesn't strike me as a city champing at the bit for a higher...

If you'd stuck with her we might not be in this mess now, you could be our new Joy!

The problem would be any caveat would see us remaining as tenants so unless its something like CCFC must have first say on all dates, pay no rent and get all matchday revenues we will most likely end up, at best, in a similar situation we have been since the Ricoh opened. Unless this is some...

Once again, I will support any action they take. If you can find details of any action either Wasps or Cov RFC are proposing then I would suggest posting it on here so we can all support it, I haven't been able to find anything so far. Maybe the trust can approach their equivalents at both...

Someone should buy him a map if he thinks the Ricoh is near London.

Got an email from the club earlier in the week about player sponsorship packages and they start from £100. We should have a whip round and get a player sponsored by SBT.

Is Haynes likely to be back in tomorrow or will he be held back for a few games. Difficult to strike the right balance sometimes bringing young players through, you don't want to piss them off and have them leave as they aren't getting enough time on the pitch but equally you don't want to over...

I'm still not convinced this isn't the purpose of the whole exercise. Wasps would be crazy, looking at their attendances, to move to a stadium the size of the Ricoh but saying they have a deal in place would put pressure on Wycombe council. Similarly if CCC can say we have a buyer that puts...

I keep coming back to the same point, how can we protest about the ground not being sold to us when we're not trying to buy it and saying we are going to move out in a couple of years? Personally I think the Ricoh is a great ground and would love for us to own it and be able to put more of our...

Didn't even know this was still going, used to get it years ago. Do they sell them online?

Grendel, not sure how you've drawn those conclusions from what I have posted on this subject. Depends which sport. I wouldn't give a blanket yes or no to that. For example I was against the Wimbledon move to MK and against any attempt to turn us into a franchise. On the other hand I think the...

Decent move for him, won't need to uproot his family. Be interesting to see how much game time he gets and if they will keep him if they go up.

Could getting SISU to match the offer be the plan? Like putting something on eBay and getting your mate to bid on it to bump the price up. Totally made up figures but say CCC have a valuation that say it's only worth £20m, what if they say we have a bid for £30m match it or we're selling. Could...

To me any protests either about Wasps moving or associated issues for Cov RFC should be initiated by their fans, we should support them fully in any way we can but I don't feel it's our place to organise things on their behalf. So that only leaves us protesting about a business deal. Are we...

So essentially ACL would have new owners, all existing contracts would be honoured and I'm sure Wasps will at least play their European games there. Looking at Wasps forum they don't seem exactly up in arms and Cov RFC seem to be more concerned they might have been a bit slow off the mark and...

This comes back to the same old thing though, if SISU want to own the Ricoh put a bid in! They don't need anyones permission to submit a bid. They can get their own valuation done and make a conditional offer subject to due diligence confirming any assumptions they have made. A simple statement...

Is McQuoid even fully fit? Effects of concussion can last for months. Reda will still be out as well. Think we're going to find out if some peoples fears about the lack of strength in depth in the squad are correct.

It seems to do a decent amount of business and seems to be improving. With the station in the pipeline its not too much of a stretch that someone would see it as a decent investment and if they do then buying at a time where there is uncertainly with the status of us playing there and the JR...

The idea that they would invest in the Ricoh and only use it for Euro games has been mentioned on the Wasps forum as well. Interestingly there seems nowhere near the level of outrage on there that there is on here about the idea. The majority seem to have taken it will never happen stance with...
