I am in Leipzig at the moment. The RB Fans are well happy. The 'Franchising' criticism is Seen as anti East jealousy and they point the Finger at Bayer Lev Schalke Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim. I would take Red Bull any day as they need to be associated with success as part of their image and are...

Rugby JS is in talks - real talks - as opposed to "talk". Millerchip has confirmed it. The Rugby club has outline permission for a 15000 rugby stadium. Rugby JS has a good CV - as posted by Old Fiver. The known facts fit with the talk of Rugby JS - as far as the Rugby club is concerned. The bit...

I think it would be great to have some contuinity for once. On the one hand TM is following up on some players he thinks we need, and then, if he goes, whoever comes in has to be interviewed with others and come to an agreement. Then the New guy starts with getting a team from scratch. A lot of...

You could argue that Rugby JS is well aware of how SISU operate by now. He also knows our predicament as much as we do. He wants help financing his stadium, but he will - because according to his CV as posted by old fiver he seems to be very smart - protect himself against future bullying by...

I thought you went along with just talk - or is that only when it "sounds good" to quote you?

Yes, I remember running around it as a kid. Probably took up too much space... Don't know when it 'vanished'.

To base, or partly base your opinion on "talk" that "sounds good" is at best naive. How much talk - from all parties in this disaster - have we heard? Where are we now as a result of talk? Up until now we have heard nothing more than talk. I do believe that Rugby JS wants to get things done. How...

So, the negotiations are over. Is that a fact? Where did you get that information? If so, we have 2 years to solve all problems and get a stadium with a two tier stand and sunken pitch built - with the cooperation of people we are war with. The plans will have to be put in very quickly to...

Many problems could be overcome with lots of financial backing and the will of CCC. You could build a car park over the road to where the Butts Retreat is and/ or have buses bringing people back and forth from carparks elsewhere. They do the bus system at Bayer Leverkusen. You come out of the...

And Chapelfields..... And Allesley.....

I agree we don't have much choice at this moment in time... But I would be careful of tying us long term to the Butts and I am not going to keep trying to convince myself and others that a 15000 stadium is progress and to be desired. It is not. BPA is in area that is convenient - but that is...

If we Commit to the BPA there is also a time factor - first problem is getting approval from Millerchip and then the board at the Rugby Club, then the council ( already shown that they can Delay things ), then the residents, then sorting the deal about possible extension out ( what if CRFC...

How many clubs are talking about down sizing? ( just Seen Dongo has already asked ) cannot see the answer... Have I missed it?

How does it work out if you get not all cash, but a player or loan player as part of the deal?

To get an average of 15000 in League 1, you need a bigger capacity than 15000. Some games will have lower than 15000 even if we're doing well.

How can anyone prove that they haven't been rejected? The discussions "came to naught" doesn't mean 17 times no. It means that at least some weren't accepted. It is up to those who twist it to mean all 17 were rejected to say how they know that.

Do CRFC have a different customer base to Wasps? The Butts is "my" side of town. I would never ever go to the Ricoh if City weren't there. There's pubs nearby the Butts and a lot of people live in the area. I am not a Rugby fan and cannot really say much, but I would guess that a lot of their...

Have Wasps rejected all 17, or have the Talks come to naught?

So that puts us somewhere between Carlisle and Colchester.........How often were they in the premier? People seem tothink small is the norm now...

Yes, just cosmetic.... I agree.... Because of all the things - just saying Kieran's tweet didn't Show anything game changing.. I just quoted 1 example of why there was no chance - there are plenty of others ...
