I have a feeling Simon has mentioned in the past that the headlines are nothing to do with him.

Any chance this is on TV, or failing that will there be commentary on CWR?

Hopefully not but I think we need to get out of the mindset that there's a quick fix or just get SISU out and everything will be OK. As things stand unless Wasps move or go bust we have little chance in a stake in the Ricoh for the next 250 years. In my opinion we're not talking about doing...

They lost their ground following a period of financial instability. It was sold to a rugby club, Sale. Since then they have dropped out of the league and switched to semi-pro playing in Conference North.

They don't need to create their own database, just subscribe to WyScout. Then it's just having people who can go out to games, most clubs apart from the elite use ex-players who just do it for expenses. You wouldn't have thought it was that hard to set something up.

You just posted it, "this hasn't been provided to us yet", doesn't sound like Wasps sprang into action to provide a better facility to me but of course everything always has to be totally the fault of SISU.

Its always great when people use the argument you have no evidence apart from the evidence that I'm going to ignore! The evidence is the SCG minutes, the clubs response on Twitter and the response to me when I asked the question directly on matchday. So what you're actually saying is that in...

The only other club I can think of in a similar situation to ours is Stockport. Spot on, not owning the ground is not an issue its what you get in return for the amount you pay that is key. But we'd still be at the bottom of the revenue table as all the teams we would be trying to be...

It's something to consider although remember we only get access to the ground for a few hours before kick off so there are time limitations.

It really does seem that way. I get that SISU have been terrible for the club, to put it mildly, but people seem intent on twisting every little thing so it is entirely their fault while at the same time defending Wasps to the hilt. We've now had the club at the SCG and on twitter speak about...

There's pubs on Foleshill Road, I normally park at the pub next to the fire station and wander up, you come out round the back of Tesco and can then either go through Tesco or along the canal. Don't go in the pubs as I'm always driving so no idea what they're like.

At a guess we rent the ground for a certain number of hours on matchday and can do what we like on the concourse so long as we setup and breakdown with the allotted time.

Not sure we'd sell much of our merchandise in the car park at Villa :D

Not at all. However the way it is being talked about on here is why not just start up a business that can generate a large, presumably 7 figure, profit if only SISU could be bothered to start up some random business. Starting any business has risks and can be a potential black hole for money, if...

The replica kit thing I can kind of understand. I suspect Puma print all clubs shirts at the same time and an order outside that timeframe comes with the same conditions as when you want a non-template kit i.e.: there is a relatively high minimum order. What I struggle to believe is that Puma...

No there aren't, I would assume that is why CBRE have been involved as they are vastly experienced at that kind of project. You would struggle to find a company who would come in and manage starting a successful business for you while you take all the cash so it would mean employing more staff...

No problem with SISU being questioned. The problem is having multiple groups and individuals spending more time having a go at each other and claiming to represent fans than doing anything useful. They could have posted a polite, well written piece detailing questions for SISU instead they are...

Doesn't read like that to me, it reads as if they are presenting PSB as a fans representative group.

Would depend what % of the crowd go through Tesco and what the rent would be against what they pay now. Its an option certainly and maybe a suitable question to be raised at the SCG.

You know things are desperate when we're rehashing ideas Bryan Richardson came up with! It sounds great as a post on a forum but what we're really saying is open a successful business, in an area no employee of the club has any expertise in, and make enough money to offset any negative impact...
