It would be interesting to know the process that took place, who approached who etc. There were rumours floating around that ACL made the move to bring the club back as the Wasps deal required us to be in place as tenants but there have also been conflicting rumours that the FL finally made a...

Obviously CCC can't force SISU to bid but I would very much like to know if SISU were informed they could purchase a 250 year lease for under £6m. That's a key point for me, ignore all the posturing and spin on both sides, was there ever any indication given that this sort of deal was possible...

If SISU got the Ricoh on a similar deal to that which Wasps have it would give them an exit strategy. Compare the value of CCFC now to a CCFC that came with effective ownership of a PL standard stadium. That value would increase even more if they put in a minimal investment and got us promoted...

The biggest mistake SISU made was the way they went about getting what they wanted. If at the point Fisher started banging on about rent they'd come out with a clear statement saying we can't go on paying £1.2m a year, we need ownership, we have submitted a bit for £xm for ACL I'm sure they...

I have never had any problem with SISU having a similar deal to that which has been given to Wasps and I can't understand why any fan of CCFC would. In fact the deal with Wasps is far better than any deal I would have expected to be offered so I would have been overjoyed if SISU had been given...

Is this so they can bring in new evidence, I believe they can't do that in the JR appeal. If so I wonder if they actually have any or are just hoping something will show up.

Do they normally make such a clear distinction between the club and the owners, maybe it's just the way this statement reads.

Lets hope SISU have a decent case. Quite frankly I don't care what grounds or tactics SISU use to get a win in this if it means Wasps get sent packing and we get a shot at a similar deal.

Lets hope for once they bloody win for a change! There is something that seems a little suspect about the sale to me, the way it was kept secret and then all rushed through with pretty much time for anyone to object, the low price, everyone claiming confidentiality. Even the unanimous vote, is...

Hang on, I thought MGI were brining in a PL team in a couple of years but now you're saying no football team can play at the Ricoh as they won't have primacy :facepalm: They would be crazy to not give us primacy, FL / PL rules require it while it isn't a requirement for Wasps in their league...

Unless the current seats are going to last 250 years at some point they will need to be replaced, what colour do you think they will be when it gets to that point?

Big exclusive in this weekends program.

It was a high risk strategy and to be fair to SISU it seems it worked perfectly the slight problem being they never accounted for anyone other than us wanting to own the stadium.

For that to be true you have to believe that there will be a new ground. If you don't believe there will be a new ground then the best option was always to have at least a 50% share in the Ricoh or ACL. Until CCC and Higgs handed everything to Wasps for less than we paid for 5 years rent that...

Hopefully he is actually injured and not SP falling out with someone again.

So the reason that we should see Wasps coming in as a positive is that there is zero chance SISU will ever sell the club? Equally I could ask what evidence you have to suggest that SISU will at no point in the future ever sell the club?

Prior to this there was a hope that if SISU didn't buy the ground someone would come in and buy the club and ground. Unless Wasps buy is, which is unlikely to say the least, we are now a lot less attractive proposition to any potential buyer, it's not like they were queuing up before so how hard...

But they couldn't get to the end of the 3 year or 5 year period without presenting some evidence to the FL of the new ground being built. As I said you can argue how little evidence might have been required but it just wasn't possible, unless what we were being told was incorrect, that they...

Couldn't they have done that at Leicester or Northampton if they were that desperate?
