I think we should be working out what Wasps need in order to make a comparison to other options. We may have to negotiate with them.

I think you are bang on. Stadium sounds great, but doesn't add up. Wasps have the lease. It is a done thing and we don't have options. SISU have lost - even they see that in that they are trying to get something out of the JR, which is their last hope. Mowbray has said they don't have...

I don't think we have a long term future without fresh investors in the club. SISU have done their bollocks and have yet to find a way out. The stadium talk is just crap. No-one has made a case on this thread. Just inventing figures and scenarios. I don't mean to have a go at people, but it...

Yes, but what? Shopping centres are everywhere. Hot dogs and MacDonalds? Mac already suffering a decline. Up til now we have only had a sketch of a stadium with nothing around it. I don't think it is that simple. Which why 0,0% progress has been made. They have yet to set a professional...

Pit is not a house where people can always live. It is a commercial property dependant on the demand or lack of for stadiums. High risk.

Wasps are tenants with a long lease and of a stadium in Coventry. Whether we are friends or not, we can look at their experience to get an idea of what a stadium in Coventry can generate.

Where do you get the figure of 5m from? Are Wasps making 5m a year from the Ricoh? ( as an example )

Sounds like someone pointing out what can be done if you know what you are doing. Passionate about the fact that we should be doing something to get the crowds back. We are drifting and the crowds are declining. In the meantime Wasps are doing well with the stadium we should have had. You are...

How much did Wasps pay for a long lease on a 32000 stadium with conference facilities etc? I thought TF mentioned 30m for a stadium at one stage. Sorry mate, but your figures are just plucked out of thin air. I could say what if they bought a stadium for 30m which was too small and had too few...

What else do you expect? McDonalds? Hot dogs?

You cannot do any projections until you have a costing for the build and site of the new stadium and an offer from Wasps for secured tenure over a long period at the Ricoh. One phone call or meeting with RBC which didn't come to anything and no approach ( as far as we know ) to Wasps regarding...

Name and shame.

We're fucked.

Hence "agree to pay bill". Nothing about whether they will or won't actually do it, or how much per cent of SPs demand they have agreed on.

even better..... That would sell some papers.....

You are right. It is newsworthy and deserves a headline. How about "SISU agree to pay bill".

You will find no posts saying I am a Wasps fan and have been to a Wasps game. Their "virtues" are that they came out of nowhere, made a deal with the council and got a long term lease for the Ricoh in a matter of months. Fair play to them. The point is why didn't or couldn't we? They engaged...

Once. To prove a point. There is room for a professional sports team in Coventry - if done properly. Tony Mowbray wants professional structures put in place to get CCFC in a position to move up a league. Let's hope he gets his way. Perhaps we too can get the crowds back. In no way does saying...

The only ones more interested, are the few new posters - probably Rugby fans - who appeared at the time of the move. Lots of City fans are interested in the fortunes of Wasps. Some want them to fail because they are a "franchise" , others because they hope that a failure will mean we get a...

Yes, but several people have explained why. It is not compulsory and not everyone gets to Matches for various reasons e.g. where they live and their working hours. It is a "Sky Blues Forum" and people discuss matters which effect the Sky Blues - some analyse the players, the game, the tactics...
