Once again one simple question for CCC to answer. Did they offer the sale of a 250 year lease to SISU for under £6m. Forget what Fisher said or didn't say, forget what Lucas said or didn't say. If they did not inform the club that a 250 year lease could be purchased for under £6m they are in the...

Why on earth would you want owners who have just been shown to have no issue with moving a club nearly a hundred miles away from it's home? The same manner they have been showing since they have been here? So you want them to treat Wasps as a priority over CCFC at every turn. Wouldn't that be...

I've said before there's 2 options here: 1) CCC weren't being truthful about the current and future state of ACL (i.e.: Fisher was right) - in that scenario CCC have questions to answer as they have been deceptive. 2) CCC were being truthful about the current and future state of ACL (i.e...

This division is terrible and while I believe our squad is not as good as last years I don't think its as bad as our league position and form suggests. That then leaves either a lack of effort and / or motivation or tactics. Both of those are SP's responsibility.

Our own stadium either or the city or as near to it as possible.

I'm coming round to the idea that 12-15K will be fine. The key is how quickly it can be upgraded in the event the demand is regularly there. I'd be looking at maybe a permanent main stand with the dressing rooms, shop, offices etc and make use of temporary stands for the rest. If you do that...

I don't think the problem is if we play 4-5-1 or 4-4-2, the problem is how we play using either system. 1 or 2 upfront we are not giving them service and everyone behind them is sitting far too deep and allowing the opposition to come onto us and keep us under pressure. How often when we're...

Think you've missed the point. According to that article CCC dismissed the offer from Shaprio as derisory as they wanted some land by the stadium to develop. They then spent the next few years moaning that SISU wouldn't develop the land around the Ricoh for them.

If Wasps had been playing for over 100 years in Nuneaton but were in a similar situation to us, had sold their old ground for some reason and ended up with nowhere to play so had been playing in Northampton for the last 10 years (similar distance they moved away initially) and purchased the...

Wasps have played in various places in London from 1866 until 1923 when they moved to Sudbury in London and stayed there until 1996 when they moved to Loftus Road before moving to Wycombe, which is approx 20 miles from London. They've now moved to the Ricoh which is over 90 miles from what Wasps...

They must have called here in for some expert advice on the colour of the new curtains.

They'll want to stamp out people having fun pretty quickly, it's not the Coventry way! If there's so many such great fans of CRFC why aren't there more people at their games?

The only thing that will really work is a bit of success. Everything else is nice but you're not going to keep going if the product on the pitch is poor. If we were in the top 6 with 4 or 5 games to go and a shot at Wembley there would be 20K there easily. If we went up, and singed a couple of...

But that doesn't give CCC a green light to screw the club over. The club and SISU are not the same thing, long after SISU have gone the actions of CCC will still be having a negative impact on the club. A key point of Fishers was the claim he kept making that ACL were reliant on CCFC and not...

Interesting reading that article. At the time wasn't the rumour that Manhattan met with CCC and decided they couldn't work with them. It's laughable now to think the Shaprio bid was labeled derisory by the council as it would mean CCC writing off £4m and Higgs not getting every penny back, not...

Or you could say they were sold the ground for less than we paid in rent over the first 5 seasons we played there. Or you could say they've been gifted it for nothing as it is likely in the very near future they will receive more for the renewal of stadium naming rights than they have paid.

Some people would have you believe CCC were instrumental in SISU being given preference over other bidders. Don't think we'll ever know if there is any truth in that.

That's correct but thanks to the actions of CCC and Higgs it is now going to be much harder to find someone to replace them and if / when that does happen much harder for that new owner to achieve success. For me it's simple, SISU are temporary owners. They have been a disaster and their...

In 2 + 2 = 5 fashion I would guess at a new ground announcement. What else could it be really unless SISU are buggering off? That said I've never thought the new ground would actually happen but maybe they've backed themselves into a corner and now have to actually do it.
