    Bournemouth Ground Share

    Just done a quick google and it seems its because the media suite isn't 'premier league standard'. a) that is a ridiculous reason to not be able to play at home, its not like Sky are going to have them on more than a handful of times b) surely they can get this resolved in the close season...

    Wasps want to play on Saturdays...

    No surprise really how fast Wasps have gone back on their word. When they arrived they said they would be playing on Sundays so as not to impact on CRFC. Now it's 'minimise' the impact of CRFC whatever the hell that means. Probably means CRFC have to move their games if they clash. Of course...

    Bournemouth Ground Share

    What does it fail on? Seems strange for a relatively new ground, haven't had any problems when I've been there.

    Wasps owner Derek Richardson explains Coventry move and rejects "franchise" tag

    What you talking about, all we need to do is open up a used car lot and shift a few dodgy motors and we'll be playing Barcelona in no time :D

    They could change their kit and be called Wasps Reserves

    Wasps owner Derek Richardson explains Coventry move and rejects "franchise" tag

    Wouldn't have thought so. They'll want them in for as long as possible before and after the match spending money.

    Wasps owner Derek Richardson explains Coventry move and rejects "franchise" tag

    Another Wasps piece up on the CT now. They're looking to play on games on Saturdays having previously said they wouldn't do that so as not to impact CRFC. Now they just want to 'minimize impact' on CRFC whatever that means.

    Wasps owner Derek Richardson explains Coventry move and rejects "franchise" tag

    The £2m was the offer for Higgs share from memory. That wouldn't have been unencumbered, how would that have worked? If you buy 50% of a company that's exactly what you buy. It was much further down the line when they started banging on about unencumbered wasn't it?

    The Bradford Fire

    I can imagine someone burning a factory or something down for insurance but a football stand during a match? Surely if he wanted it burnt down a mysterious fire during the close season would have done the trick.

    why the mobile phone lights

    I can see why at games where there's floodlight failure, such as the cup game at the Emirates, but not just in a regular game. The phone light seems to have replaced lighters being held up at gigs these days.

    More from Derek Richardson...

    I'm sure they said they weren't going to use Coventry in the name. They have such a deep affection for the city they were worried it would put people off!

    More from Derek Richardson...

    In the real world if you wanted to ensure something happened after the sale you would have a legal agreement with penalties if it was breached, how much do you want to bet CCC didn't bother with that and just took Wasps at their word. If Wasps pay back the loan CCC have zero leverage over them...

    Wasps owner Derek Richardson explains Coventry move and rejects "franchise" tag

    It is my opinion you're right but all the available evidence suggests it is correct. We've seen comparative revenues from when we were last in the Championship, we've had independent experts on CWR and in the CT and the only club in a comparable situation to us, Stockport, have been in freefall...

    More from Derek Richardson...

    I'd like to hear his answer to that if Simon gets an opportunity to ask it. If a rugby club at the top level with all the TV money and a salary cap competing with other teams that groundshare can't stay in business without 100% of 365 revenues how does he expect CCFC to stay in business when...

    Wasps owner Derek Richardson explains Coventry move and rejects "franchise" tag

    Spot on, there seems to be a big section of our fanbase who seem to think we just need to get rid of SISU and / or ask Wasps for all the revenues we need and everything will be sorted. Not going to happen. Unless something drastic happens, either with the whole of football or the Ricoh, we are...

    Excuses For Not Going The Crewe Game Thread

    They should scrap the lap of honour until we actually have a decent season, although no doubt some would moan if they did. They should just go over at the end of the game and clap the fans, bit more of an effort than they make at a usual game and then lets move on to next season. If they really...
