Ferret, I am very much contradicted on this myself. I really don't know what is going to happen and what is right here. We have just had more meat ont he bones today and it has differed from the info we were drip fed the other day. I think my senses are perfectly intact. As I have said, I am...

Don't understand why people think ACL are desperate to sell. Surely they will just have an empty sports stadium if CCFC leave and would want to make full use of that facility. If you had a pub with a function room as the back wouldn't you want to utilise it? I know it's not the same thing of...

We don't know it will be a disaster, ferret. We may well think it will be, but how can you say that with any certainty? No certainty either that there will be yellow seats put in. So much of this is still conjecture and gueswork and rumour and speculation, as the SBT statement quite rightly...

Agree with that, Stu. Very naive thinking here of CRFC I would say. You would think that the next generation of Coventry born rugby fans could well turn out to become Wasps fans in the future.

I didn't read that as the SBT being happy with Wasps taking over, Skybluechick. Where does it say that?

What I mean, Dave, is that they obviously haven't bid, but there are now talks with Wasps about a bid. I'm just implying that this shouldn't be exclusive and a closed shop. Sisu should still have the opportunity to bid and talks shouldn't have gone so far down the line with Wasps that there's...

As a few of us said a few days ago, let's wait and see if we can find out more info and now at least it does look like we have got that and a bit more meat on the bones. The Cov rugby thing doesn't seem to hold the same argument as the other day now does it. If this report above is true it seems...

So, sounds like we won't just get kicked out and current arrangements would remain the same. 4 years at the Ricoh. Plenty of time to build their corrugated cardboard stadium in the middle of nowhere.

There has been much rumour, speculation, guess work and conjecture concerning the story that appeared in the Coventry Telegraph about Wasps rugby club taking a controlling interest in ACL, the current leaseholders and management company of the Ricoh Arena. The Sky Blue Trust has spent the...

Well obviously ACL should give Sisu at least the opportunity to bid.

Wasps are bidding for the Ricoh through ebay? :o

Totally agree. If Wasps have made an offer, then Sisu should be allowed to match that offer and get first refusal. That's just common sense.

What, you saying you've never had a burger from McDonald's before?

That's exactly what I said when I lifted the top of the bun off my burger.

I do think maybe we are all overreacting slightly. The council have to do right by the city of Coventry. They represent the city and all its citzens. I'm not saying that it is impossible for them to do the dirty on CCFC and CRFC, but I honestly don't think they would dare screwing us both over...

The negotiations will obviously be secret, but I don't see why they cannot release the basics of what the deal involves. Let's say for instance you are a City fan and Coventrarian that only cares about CCFC and Cov RFC and what is best for them. You're not interested in Wasps and are...

I once walked into town with my then missus on a Sunday morning, after we had, had a bit of 'session' first thing. We decided we were then hungry and that we would go to McDonald's for breakfast. We were so in love and were holding hands and smiling all the way into town (about 20 mins walk)...

Maybe like us, they are waiting to find out more about the deal and what exactly is propsed.

I don't see the issue either to be honest. A lot of commercial business deals are done in private. We do need to know the basics however and how any deal would impinge on CCFC and Cov RFC. We need to know if they form part of the deal or not. Monetary matters and degrees of percentages...

Was just going to say the same thing. It was (or had been) snowing and freezinb, but we won 1-0, so besides the Emerson injury it was a good day for me.
