Don't forget about the Wasps fans either. I would hope that after all of the grief that we've suffered, that CCFC fans wouldn't want to be involved in either franchising another club to our area, or damaging an historic local team, regardless of any potential benefits. In truth though, I think...

I did. I had a proper pop at Northampton - not so much their club or fans (I hope), but their money-grabbing sh*te of a chairman who tried to pitch it as a philanthropic rescue mission. Happy to have a pop at ACL if they're planning on doing the same thing to Wasps. Moving clubs away from...

I've got to say B.A., your dinnerlady is a bloody good source. ;) Embarassed me a couple of times! I was hoping for some inside info on the Wasps thing. Go get yourself something to eat for God's sake. :)

I've got to say that the Andy Turner article summarises exactly how I feel about all this. Shortest 'honeymoon' period ever. So, so sad.

To me personally, as soon as you get into talking about freehold and/or extending leasehold, then things get complicated. To me, what we want is a relatively simple deal to start off with, CCFC buying into ACL and starting to have an interest in that business. The proportion, to start off with...

I can't see much hero-worship of ACL here, except in the eyes of those who seem to search for it in every post so that they can take umbrage. Most people here seem to be saying that ACL are wrong to propose that Wasps move to the Ricoh. However whilst the club are taking the line that their...

The point was to get us home, to the immediate benefit of the extra 9,000 that are going, to the occasional and future benefit of the others that now at least have the choice to go, and to the financial benefit of the club itself.

Appreciate your honesty Rob, but why are you saying Wasps are being forced out if you're not sure? http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/apr/10/wasps-owner-derek-richardson-stadium http://www1.skysports.com/rugby-union/news/12551/9450298/premiership-wasps-issue-statement-on-ground-move The...

Hi Rob, I'm not sure where you've got the idea that Wasps don't have an alternative. As far as I understand it they're not being kicked out of Wycombe, but their owners would like to move them elsewhere. For the average league crowd that they get, circa 7,000, Wycombe's plenty big enough for...

Show me another club that have been what we've been through for the last thirty years and then maybe you can complain that we've got uniquely fickle fans. Why is there so much whining about this, if you enjoy going, then go. If you don't want to go, then don't go. When we get some success...

Absolutely - I agree it's a smart move and a real step forward. I think if we see even a small amount of success on the pitch to go with these kind of deals we'll definitely see attendances moving up.

Other teams in similar cities who have been on a downward path for almost thirty years, and are now in League 1, and who have just returned from an unpopular groundshare 35 miles away, and are still taking the local council to court whilst talking about building a smaller ground somewhere...

I feel I'm being called. One moan coming right up, would you like it ordered alphabetically or chronologically? Hold the swear words? Right you are, sir. ;)

Good luck to the bloke, I'd say. No point in opening all of the old arguments about whether he was any good for us or not, he's clearly a decent chap and for that reason alone I'd wish him every success, personally. I don't much care for his team though, if he ends up at MK, but again that's...

Hold up a moment. What you're basically saying is that you're not sure and can't be arsed to check, this because you've spent so long saying that you're not sure and you haven't got time to check. I'm sorry, but that's a pretty poor argument. You can see what Wasps say, you can see what Cov...

Don't forget Shmeee and Rob S. We're going to need a bigger bed. ;)

Otis - it's not a guess. Use some empathy and put yourself in a Wasps fans shoes. Failing that, go read their message board - I've posted a link in a couple of places now. And if you want a Coventry RFC fan's take on it, use mine. I've been going for a good few years now. My opinion is that...

In truth I'm leaving it there - I've no desire to wind up Otis or anyone else. I doubt we're far apart in truth. I'm even getting on with Grendel at the moment - maybe this is a good place to stop! :)

It's not a hard concept to grasp, but like a few others you seem to suffering from the idea that most Wasps fans might want to come to Coventry. Now that is a hard concept to grasp, for me at least. It sounds a little like wishful thinking to justify holding the opinion that it's somehow...

Otis mate, I'm not disagreeing with you for the sake of disagreeing with you - but (politely) remember how you felt when CCFC was taken off to Northampton. That's how a lot of Wasps fans will be feeling now. If you don't believe me go and read their forums...
