    maybe they learnt that whatever happens, it can't be worse than what we have now. At the moment TF insists that the club are leaving the city and JS backs him on this.

    The stadium is definately going ahead "I'm not bluffing" TF. "I don't negotiate" "negotiating wastes time" JS. Healing - back to the Ricoh, then the confirmation that the stadium is going ahead and SISU are following the JR to the bitter end.. It doesn't look as if the club was interested...

    If you are indirectly having a dig at Cathedral Lanes, then I would agree that the project is a white elephant. I hate it.

    It does refer to the past arguments and it does leave many points out, presumably to make the "rotten borough" more rotten. They refer to Bob Ainsworth's figure, which is as researched as anyone's on here. Our estimates range from nil - "a white elephant" - to 60 mil plus. Private Eye seem to...

    1) they also make mistakes and have been sued often enough 2) saw previous articles, but cannot remember every word, but they were quite damning for SISU and the council 3) they do not contain all facts and use vague terms in order to slant it in the direction they want. At first against SISU...

    What is Priceless is that a consortium/ hedgefund whatever, has come into SISU's area, done due diligence, built up a relationship with the council and Higg's and bought a 250 lease at a decent price ( according to Touch ) for the Ricoh. Our tossers have had over 7 years to work that out and...

    Fisher Mark II?

    Difference being he is coming to the Ricoh to stop making a loss ( he hopes ), whereas Fisher believed ( and still does ) that you have to leave the Ricoh to stop making a loss. We shall see...

    The decision most effecting the football club is the constant assurance that "we" are building a new stadium. Without that crap, there may have been negotiations with the club, although on the other hand, Joy has said she doesn't do negotiations.

    SISU are the owners and like it or not they take the lion's share of the blame. Yes, the council are cumbersome, have some officials who are probably not helpful and are not the people who should be involved in running a stadium. The never wanted to. It was a CCFC idea. But.... SISU have had...

    They are the owners. They have said they are leaving. I find it hard to see how they are not largely to blame. The JR, Northampton, "I don't negotiate", "I don't bluff" etc. hardly let SISU off the hook in this affair. Wasps have proved that being nice to the evil council, offering them a...

    Maybe quicker than you think. It will be an embarrasment if their gates overtake Citys. We're already down to around 7000, it won't take much for Wasps to get over 7000 ( just did at their latest game in Wycombe - despite being "ripped out of the community" ).

    This should Never have been allowed to happen. by SISU. SISU are sticking to the JR and the stadium. Joy and Tim have confirmed that. So they have made the decision to leave. Joy doesn't negotiate and Tim doesn't Bluff. I hope that SISU's Plans don't happen and that we end up with a sustainable...

    I think we could end up as a Yo-Yo Club between League 1 and 2 if that suits SISU ( not saying it dös at the moment). I don't know what the deal with Cov Rugby will be, but they have been in the wilderness for years - without Wasps. Taking another angle, if Wasps do really well, they may not...

    I don't think anyone likes Franchises in Sport, but it is no good substituting the evil Council with the evil franchise in the blame game - as seems to be the trend with some people. SISU remain in the driving seat and the Buck stops with them. They are driving us towards a brick wall at high...

    I don't agree that CCFC gates will suffer because of Wasps. They will go Down because of mediocre League 1 football ( if things don't change soon ). Wasps will bring New people to the Ricoh. Some city fans will go to Wasps because City no longer offers quality and/or Entertainment - not just...

    Really? My Observation, here in my pub in Germany, is that rugby fans don't wear their team's colours when they watch a TV game ( except internationals ), whereas a lot of football fans do. Die HSV Fans come Mainly to watch HSV. Rugby fans watch good Quality rugby- whoever is playing. The team...
