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...

This is the very least that needs to happen, and in my opinion what we really need is SISU to admit there is no new stadium and they want the Ricoh. Putting to the side any issues affecting Cov RFC or Wasps what argument are we supposed to make to CCC and Higgs? We're not staying but don't get a...

If they haven't got stock they should be giving people a firm date they will be in stock and taking orders. If someone walks in and gets told we'll have some in October you can order now to ensure you get one they might get some cash in the bank. A better option that letting people walk out...

I didn't say they would but you stated "The rental model has never ever worked (particularly now under FIFA's FFP Rules) and never will." I'm pretty sure the right rental model could work and is quite possibly the more achievable option so we shouldn't buy into the Fisher line of reasoning about...

I am perfectly happy to support any action taken by Wasps fans presuming they are against it (I assume they are but you never know), same with Cov rugby. It needs someone at their in both those camps to start something up and you would think the sooner the better. I'm sure the majority of our...

So if the club were offered a 100 year lease with a peppercorn rent and all revenues that wouldn't work?

Would be interesting to see if peoples point of view changed if Wasps were coming to play at the Ricoh but renting it from CCFC with the club getting the benefit of the extra income.

I get having the whole club setup to play one system but its ridiculous to stick with it whether it's working or not. People are not saying the whole thing should be abandoned, the point is in games where its not working we are basically giving up on the game as we're incapable of changing...

That's the conditional part, you make an offer based on what you know and then, if that offer is accepted, there is a due diligence process. If anything is uncovered that affects the valuation you revise it. Not an uncommon process in business takeovers. I would have a lot more time for Fishers...
