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

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    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.

    A few things to be concerned about

    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...

    Cov RFC do NOT want a merger with Wasps

    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...

    A few things to be concerned about

    The lack of a plan b is worrying for me. When things are going well we're fine but if we're being dominated or chasing the game we don't seem able to turn things around. We seem to be getting dominated in midfield too often as well. Everyone seems to be having a pop at Thomas, is he just...

    Few good things from today

    Mate who lives in MK is certain they are signing him. Apparently he's been at the last 3 games and has taken his family along. Doesn't he have history with Robinson and he could play there without having to move his kids out of school.

    Cov RFC do NOT want a merger with Wasps

    When did it change from Wasps playing at the Ricoh to Wasps and Cov merging? The report on CWR said it was announced that Cov would be fully consulted. To me that's the correct stance at this point. You can't expect ACL or CCC to dismiss any offer out of hand, especially if they haven't even...

    Rochdale Match Thread

    It's been OK at times this season. Think the bigger issue is a lack of a plan B when it isn't working.

    Allsop

    Thats what I don't get. Unless we've made some agreement to take him permanently as he's not significantly better than our own player why are we developing his game for someone elses benefit?

    Somehow Villa have managed to let in 3 goals in under 4 mins :D

    What sort of position was the Rochdale chap in, was it worth conceding a penalty?

    Think it's a good move. The temptation is to keep him in as he's playing well but you don't want to get to Xmas and he can't perform for the rest of the season as we've burnt him out.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Statements like that and Wasps not saying anything to rule it out makes it seem like there is something to this. How does the rugby equivalent of the FA work? Would they just let Wasps move anywhere they feel like or are there procedures around a move? If there are do they enforce them or are...

    Expensive refreshments

    You know what the prices are going to be like so its your choice as a consumer. If nobody was buying anything ACL would have to think about changing the prices but, similar to ticket prices, they must think this pricing structure brings them the best return. It's not like you're there for 8...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Obviously the first thing that needs to happen is we need to establish if there's any truth in this. It's one thing to have 65 pages on a forum on the basis of a rumour but before protests and the like start up it really needs to be verified what the situation actually is. My initial thought...

    Be happy with a point today. Need to pick something up so we can stop one defeat become a run of bad form. Also be nice to show the squad can cope with a couple of injuries / suspensions.

    ST seats not reserved for the Exeter game.

    How can they give everyone their regular seat if they're not opening all the stands? As there's priority for ST holders I'd imagine most of them just buy their own seat if they sit in a stand that will be open. Just logon the first day of priority and order your regular seat. It's not like it...

    How many of our fans are based in Coventry?

    I've always wondered, given that the club holds everyone's details on a database, why they don't look for areas with a decent number of fans and trial running coaches to home games. How many people who moved away from the city many years ago only go to a handful of home games due to the cost of...

    Scunthorpe match thread

    Definitely a let down. Even if you don't headbutt you can't go into another player with your head forward these days. He's supposed to be the captain and senior player but compare how he's reacted to how Clarke reacted in the Gillingham game. Even worse considering we were only 10 mins in and...
