He won the ball a good 2-3 times, and his pass to Thomas should’ve ended in a goal. Had Thomas stuck it away, 2-1 up and Bayliss is probably getting rated 8 or 9s by most. A game of margins.

Had a good feeling after the first 15-20m of the game, we conceded a sloppy goal and stopped to Burton’s level really. Start it the second half was pretty good, getting the goal and Bayliss put through Thomas who missed an absolute sitter. That was criminal and at 2-1 the game changes, the...

I hope so. Frankly, Wasps should negotiate and remain the 'heroes' of the story because, despite SISU intransigence, they're willing to negotiate and protect Coventry City against themselves, essentially. That would be the narrative for most people in this case. It's a win-win for them. Very...

That's true, but this has reached a national newspaper and whilst it doesn't mean anything per se, to me, it suggests there may be some weight to these rumours. Of course, the official lines of Wasps and CCFC could be true and it is 'nonsense' or 'categorically not the case', but time will tell...

There’s been a few rumours a deal has been agreed... ... it makes you wonder if the saying ‘no smoke without a fire’ is ringing true here.

Good question, I don’t really know as I try my best to just enjoy the product on the field. Stadium crisis aside, the club seems to be in a decent place, good young talented team and hopefully when this mess is sorted we can try to push on and try for promotion to the Championship!

They and the council have also said the sale of the RICOH would not jeopardise CCFC. Yet, here we are and still the blame is almost completely on SISU by our fans and no uproar as of yet. So we would’ve been wrong to trust them then, so why would it be right to trust them now? Their words don’t...

In fairness, they’ve started to provide Robins with the tools to build a good squad up and the intention seems to be getting us back up to the Championship. Which suggests there’s something of a plan from them. I don’t really take Hoffman and his consortium seriously, yet. So I imagine...

Kind of see your point, but I think now the playoffs are done and dusted, the majority of our fans seem to be sympathetic to Notts County’s current plight. For the large part, banter aside, most football fans seem to sympathetic to another club that’s going through a tough time. Most of us...

A question: did the CCC or people from local government play a part in our previous owner’s decision to sell of the land around Highfield Road before we knew we could actually fully finance the RICOH? It’s really worth noting that CCFC’s decline and our current problems did not start when SISU...

Not really because let’s say SISU drop the legal tomorrow, what’s stopping Wasps from refusing to negotiate? If Wasps would say, we’ll negotiate, and agree in principle a long-term lease but we won’t sign the deal until legal action is dropped, that would be a lot more reasonable in my view. We...

I agree that SISU has themselves to blame for a lot of the mess they find themselves in. However, the CCC and the Wasps are gambling on our future by trying to blackmail our owners, rightly or wrongly is irrelevant at this point. I'll reiterate that I don't know what SISU hope to gain from legal...

He’s a politician, he’s not stupid and knows the ‘blame Sisu’ line is one that is willingly accepted by the majority of our fans. The situation is far more nuanced that you cannot possibly blame one party.

Of course. That’s why I think the wheels could come off the Wasps’ project very quickly, indeed. Relegation from the Prem would be a catastrophe and that league has a tendency to swallow the odd big team, like London Irish and Northampton Saints. Having thought about it, it could be a...

Wasps really aren’t in as strong a position as your average joe thinks. They are a one bad season away from a catastrophe. Their England internationals are leaving them, alongside a few other senior players. All of a sudden, the bumper crowds for big European rugby will wither away if they don’t...

Wasps aren’t in that strong of a position. On the field, results are getting worse and key players are wanting to leave, things could get worse next season. Off the field, they’re in debt, their losses are increasing and if attendances decrease because the team is doing badly — things could...

You’d hope so, everyone benefits from CCFC remaining at the RICOH in the short term.

Hahaha I think I’m too young to get the reference matey!

Frankly, I like the idea of building a up the Butts to about 12-15k at the minute. But, that’s only really suitable if we’re in L1, when really, we should be aiming for the Championship.

If we could downsize to a 17-23k stadium that would be good in the long term. But, again, we would’ve been far better off remaining at Highfield Road. If only we had a time machine!
