    Council could vote on Ricoh takeover as early as Tuesday

    Isn't this what the council have always said they would do? Consider any genuine offers for the stadium, sure they've stated that on more than one occasion. A vote doesn't mean it is going to happen, I would have thought that was a standard process to follow. An offer is made and a vote on that...

    SCG/ Garlick Stadium group to merge?

    Surely it should be one of two things? Either the new stadium is happening and Garlicks group keeps doing what they are doing, or it's not happening and should be disbanded. If they want to be on the SCG shouldn't there be some process for new members or can we all just turn up and be part of...

    Coventry story on radio in Brighton

    Reading this thread is giving me a headache. Think I might start my own I don't give a toss about all the other groups group.

    Forget Rugby

    The only option would be a second tier but you'd hit problems when you got the side of the group corporates are on as you have the exhibition hall right behind so can't build backwards. Unless that would support having something built on top of it you're stuffed, you'd probably have issues with...

    Fan ownership will never work

    And they were loaned that money by the local council using my council tax! They also wrote off well over £100m in debt. Spot on, it's only debts prior to current ownership and the rumour down here is that those owed money have accepted a smaller pay-out (having already been negotiated down at...

    That pretty much sums it up and yes it is that bad.

    Preston Match Thread

    The worry for me is that for a while numerous posters have questioned two things. 1) the cover we have available if any of the first choice team aren't available and 2) the lack of a plan b Both those things seem to have caught us out today. Now the squad strength might not be the fault of SP...

    So who owns WASPS?

    We, as fans, can choose to believe what Fisher says or assume he is bonkers but we're not running a business reliant on his actions. Could be once bitten twice shy for CCC & Higgs. Nobody really thought SISU would be stupid enough to take us to Northampton but they did. If you have you 'main'...

    Wasps takeover bid could be agreed in private

    Supporting this club has taught me assume the worst, it will probably be worse than you imagined it possibly could be.

    Wasps takeover bid could be agreed in private

    If nothing else who thinks I'll take a club who only pull 6K based vaguely close to London and move them to Coventry where the local rugby team struggle to get an attendance in 4 figures? Doesn't seem a sound business move. Coventry doesn't strike me as a city champing at the bit for a higher...

    Latest SBT statement

    The problem would be any caveat would see us remaining as tenants so unless its something like CCFC must have first say on all dates, pay no rent and get all matchday revenues we will most likely end up, at best, in a similar situation we have been since the Ricoh opened. Unless this is some...

    Latest SBT statement

    Once again, I will support any action they take. If you can find details of any action either Wasps or Cov RFC are proposing then I would suggest posting it on here so we can all support it, I haven't been able to find anything so far. Maybe the trust can approach their equivalents at both...

    So who owns WASPS?

    Someone should buy him a map if he thinks the Ricoh is near London.

    Player sponsorship

    Got an email from the club earlier in the week about player sponsorship packages and they start from £100. We should have a whip round and get a player sponsored by SBT.

    Saturday team news

    Is Haynes likely to be back in tomorrow or will he be held back for a few games. Difficult to strike the right balance sometimes bringing young players through, you don't want to piss them off and have them leave as they aren't getting enough time on the pitch but equally you don't want to over...

    Latest SBT statement

    I'm still not convinced this isn't the purpose of the whole exercise. Wasps would be crazy, looking at their attendances, to move to a stadium the size of the Ricoh but saying they have a deal in place would put pressure on Wycombe council. Similarly if CCC can say we have a buyer that puts...

    Latest SBT statement

    I keep coming back to the same point, how can we protest about the ground not being sold to us when we're not trying to buy it and saying we are going to move out in a couple of years? Personally I think the Ricoh is a great ground and would love for us to own it and be able to put more of our...

    Didn't even know this was still going, used to get it years ago. Do they sell them online?

    Latest SBT statement

    Grendel, not sure how you've drawn those conclusions from what I have posted on this subject. Depends which sport. I wouldn't give a blanket yes or no to that. For example I was against the Wimbledon move to MK and against any attempt to turn us into a franchise. On the other hand I think the...
