Funnily enough, I was a Labour member around this time last year. We certainly need new blood in our local government. SISU lost the PR battle a long time ago, the average person believes they are in the wrong (and they have a lot to answer for too). This has allowed Wasps and CCC to act and...

The relationship is so toxic and with both sides are seemingly beyond reconciliation, I just can’t see that happening. Wasps cannot be looking at their position and think they can last this out. Their position has been steadily getting weaker year-on-year. I took my little brother to 2-3 games...

Pretty sure support for Wasps and the RICOH Arena debacle has cross-party support. If the Tory (or any other party) councillors had a stance scrutinising the role of CCC and Wasps in our exile, they’d get my vote. My experiences with councillors (at university) has been very negative so far...

100% agreed. As A fan base, we need to do everything we can to hold the owners (and possibly even UoW) to account on making progress on this partnership. Before this potential partnership was announced, I could accept that there was considerable difficulty finding land for such a project...

Agreed. Until this ruling comes out, no sensible or rational actor would take that risk. Particularly if it was their money on the table. Wasps and CCC know the RICOH is the only place we can play football in Coventry. All parties know this. It makes the club completely dependent on Wasps. The...

At what cost do we return to the RICOH? Last season the indemnity was the issue, I can’t see what’s changed to see why it wouldn’t still be an issue. Assuming this still is the case, is the risk of signing up to an indemnity and restricting your own manoeuvrability to pursue legal action too...

Aren’t Wasps owned by hedge fund? If true, what a self-aware man.

For sure, but SISU’s original argument that the stadium rent agreement was not sustainable is fundamentally true. Who wants to go back to paying £1.3m in rent with no access to match day revenue at games? If we cannot get a share in the RICOH, which doesn’t look likely at all, then we need to...

I spoke to my Wycombe supporting mate about their run ins with Wasps and he dislikes them. Found an interesting article summing up their state of affairs - see screenshot for a summary. Link: Wasps 'have abused' supporters

The club has a ‘partner’ to work with on the project that is outside CCC jurisdiction. For the first time in those 7 years, there’s actually an opportunity to press on with their aspiration of building this new stadium. I do doubt that without the good will of the CCC, a stadium project would...

With this in mind, it would appear something very, very dodgy is afoot here. Especially factoring in the pressure applied by CCC when the idea of a project of CRFC was floated. All parties know that the RICOH is the only viable stadium in Coventry. It does seem the CCC and Wasps want to keep...

Let the mudslinging games begin. I really want to believe it is the Club that is in the right. Tangible progress on this new stadium needs to be delivered this season. No excuses.

Salary caps are a bad idea, just look at the issues caused in rugby. Club should also be personally responsible for running themselves. They wanna run themselves into a lot of debt in the pursuit of the Premiership? It’s up to them.

This is why Robins will stick around for Cov for a while. Something about Nathan Jones and Luton gels really well.

Just a quick one from myself. The new stadium announcement is a positive step in the right direction. However, the statement was, in effect, only a statement of intent and nothing substantive agreed as of yet. Like most of us, I’m concerned that our exile from Coventry is set to be continued...

My FM save had Cov to yo-yo between L1 and Championship before I came in...

NO!

I was surprised by this transfer since he didn’t feature much. It seemed Robins rated him, just never felt the opportunity was there to play him. We had some tough fixtures and we were on a role too, I can see why he didn’t get game time. Frankly, I hope Giles hasn’t been brought in as a first...

Ok, point taken. But, don’t you think investors will only part with their capital when solid plans are laid out? The sceptical view of the statement is legitimate (of anything). After all, this announcement is only a statement of intent and nothing solid in place, yet. The cynical view: this...

A sore point for me too. The balti pie and a hot chocolate/fizzy drink was a Saturday staple for me as a young ST
