Yep. Already stuff built now. I can't think of anywhere else, apart from Ansty Park. That's still in Coventry isn't it?

Well, true. Even if they are viable without a sports team here, from their perspective it is just daft to let a top class, first rate stadium go to ruin isn't it?

Another thought just came to mind, surely the lower the gates Wasps get here, the more they are going to need CCFC aren't they?

Wonder if anyone has done any research as to how many fans Wasps lost when they moved home games to Wycombe?

Just wondering if Wasps fans come out pretty much as one and say they won't come to games here, whether their owners might have a re-think, or at least water down the proposal somewhat. Could it possibly be that it might just be reduced to some big European games anyway? Wasps surely have to...

Yep. That above statement though, I really don't think anyone on here was as calm when Sixfields was announced for us. Like I say, maybe a different breed. Would guess Wasps fans are the most irked. think they will lose thousands of fans if they do plonk the club here in Coventry.

Quite surprising some of the comments. When we were told of Northampton we were indeed spitting blood and full of anger and outrage. I've seen a few comments on the Cov forum, such as this and it did surprise me somewhat. Personally I'd hope we never have a cuckoo in the nest team called...

Not trying to be funny, but have just gone over to the Cov rugby forum and most of them don't seem as up in arms as some on here make out. It's quite balanced I think and not a lot of spitting blood. Maybe rugby fans are a different breed, but I was expecting total outrage and found it's very...

Well, that's my concern. Where does such a site exist?

Just how long have they been saying they have identified land or will be able to announce very shortly the details of the new stadium? Why do you think they haven't? Because there is no new stadium. If there is now to be one because they feel they have got no other choice, I cannot see it being...

Surely if it just meant the 4 years, then the wording would be 'honouring' the agreement for Coventry City to play there. Staying at the Ricoh to me points to a long term agreement.

Yep, work started weeks ago. Completion by May next year.

I know I did. As a proud Coventry kid I always look out for Cov's score and always want all Coventry based clubs to do well, even the Bees and I cannot stand speedway. I always want Coventry teams to do well. I sincerely hope that all the councillors will indeed do the right and proper thing by...

Yep, I know. I accept all that. Think that final point could be quite critical for CRFC. As for the seating, no, Wasps won't want to play in sky blue seats. On that I think there will be a compromise and it would end up as a mixture, with both brands clearly on display.

Yup. We just hoped that they did want to buy it.

I think, Michael, that after what the fans have been through these past few years they very much feel all but defeated. They fought tooth and nail to get us back home and within a few weeks it is all about us leaving again. Don't think they have the belly to fight any more and if anything, I...

Great post, OSB. And for me this bit is the most ridiculous of all. .... apart from the owners of CCFC no one has said they do not want CCFC at the Ricoh long term. The only people who have said they don't want to be here are the club itself.

I am the same. Was considering protesting, but the Seppala statement knocked the wind right out of my sails. If Sisu aren't going to 'interfere' andget involved with negotiating for a large chunk of the Ricoh, then what are we protesting against other than the franchising of Wasps? And though...

What I would maybe like to see would be both City and Cov rugby share the Ricoh, then the council can make some money in having the Butts re-developed.
