The simple answer now if we are all bemoaning CRFC's woes,is for no locals to go and watch Wasps and for them to turn up in numbers to CRFC games. Back Cov, shun Wasps. That would be of great benefit for Coventry Rugby Club.

The difference would be instead of Coldplay they'd have Cosplay and instead of Bruce Springsteen they'd have Bruce's Spring Teen convention. They are in cloud cuckoo land. A new stadium isn't the answer, they can't afford it, it will financially cripple us even further, it'll take god knows how...

Wish they'd have closed cock pits in rugby.

Agree. Even if you are not anti Sisu, building a new stadium is a very anti Sisu thing to do.

Of course you'd need to see it, otherwise how would you be able to find it or not?

It would be pointless it being inside the city if you're behind the stadium.

Those bastards are always taking us somewhere aren't they! If it's not Northampton it's Oblivion.

It hasn't. Is it wise to increase the financial burden to get returns god knows how many years into the future? How many years would it be before we could seriously make it pay?

I think a new ground could kill the club too. I also think it would be an incredible burden on the club whilst in development. Even if money is found from investors for the stadium itself, there are still many other associated costs involved. A new stadium will just increase the financial...

No. Out. We haven't trusted them over anything pretty much for the duration of their tenure, so why trust them over building a new stadium?

Didn't mean to contact them for Sisu to have an opportunity to counter offer, just for CCC to inform CCFC as a matter of course that they had an offer on the table from Wasps. Just to gauge reaction and to see how Sisu would respond, but also out of a degree of courtesy. Nothing about what the...

I'm inclined to agree, Wingy. If so, they stayed incredibly quiet on the matter. Maybe spent the six weeks going through the rejected coin compartments of phone boxes up and down the country. That and concentrating on Euromillion lucky dips.

He doesn't bluff! Same way he didn't bluff when he said we were not going to come back to the Ricoh.

Well if it's not the same officials, I would say the current Cov owners have no reason to feel at all guilty about what happened under previous stewardship.

Wouldn't it have be perfect though for the council to announce a vote on the deal but then contact Sisu for a right to reply on the matter. Would have put them in a much better light. Doing it all in the secrecy that ensued created a lot of suspicion of their intentions. That would have put Sisu...

Should have been an open vote and not one on party decision terms.

It's a fair point on the Bedford thing. Were any of the same officials in charge of Cov then who are still there now?

There are some good points in there, Don. I have no problem with ACL talking to other parties, but the franchising aspect of it was wrong, especially after what we had suffered in Northampton. I can understand why the council did the deal, but the timing of it was a little suspicious. On...

There will be a rugby Nigel, blubbing down the phone.

Think there has to be a limit to what is acceptable in terms of allowing an offender back into a profession, especially one such as football. which is so high profile and where there is a lot of hero worshipping going on. Raps is a heinous crime and I just cannot see it ever sitting comfortably...
