Think planning guidance has changed a touch since 1899.

Yeah that’s my understanding. And I assume national especially in the case of an LA being the giver of aid. Part of me wonders is Johnson would use it as a chance to stick two fingers up at the EU without any real recourse, and if not would he let an action be taken that puts a top flight rugby...

I genuinely think an organised pro build campaign will be needed. The NIMBYs of South Cov are organised and time rich and already have the ear of local councillors. Also the words Sisu and University are like a red rag to a lot of Coventry voters. Might be a useful focal point for all those...

Fair enough, I’d been reading general stuff hadn’t come across that case. But that was a cash transfer that was reversed. Nice and neat. Undoing the sale of the Ricoh isn’t that simple. In that case Real has extra cash, then lost extra cash, back where they were. As people on here say, the...

Common sense for the first bit. Any remedy will exist within the existing legal framework, so firstly I don’t see how the indemnity as it’s put across on here is legally workable. It would basically nullify any remedy that requires Wasps to pay back anything. Which wouldn’t leave the market as...

TBF this is standard Tory councillor patter. Their entire voter base is against any development anywhere but places they don’t live/go to.

If we were getting tonked every week it’d drop. We’d still sell out the big clubs. It would be like it was at HR. Half full and silent vs QPR, packed to the rafters for Man Utd (adjust for today’s Prem)

Then attendances will drop. This isn’t a moral judgement, it’s basic business sense. People don’t spent money on entertainment that isn’t entertaining.

Mutations happen every time any organism reproduces. It’s just chance whether they make it fitter for purpose and proliferate. As you say, more reproduction = more mutations = quicker fitness. That BBC report suggests the dominant mutation makes it more contagious but not more or less deadly.

Nah. It’s about the only place in the city where it might just work. Massive doubts personally about Sisus commitment to the project given their history, but the plan itself is good. Think it’ll cost more than £30m mind, and it’ll be near impossible to get the capacity right if we’re not...

How about we build a stadium for each potential division. I’d argue non league and below is taken care of. Ricoh for the Prem. Butts for L2, Warwick Uni for Championship. Just need a 12k ground for L1 and we’re sorted.

No thanks I’ve just had a coffee.

I don’t see why a loan move would’ve been out of the question is Monaco weren’t planning for him to feature.

I do think there’s a lot to be said for restricting tickets and making it a Premium Experience. iFollow and TV money make in game attendance less important financially. It’s just the playing side and how they’d feel in various atmospheres I’d guess that’s the issue. And we all want to be...

(Sorry missed the agreement to stop talking about it. Will shut up now)

The club said “Wasps demanded a further agreement to be signed both by the Football Club and SISU. This agreement introduced conditions that would unreasonably restrict the Club and SISU’s basic legal rights and would commit the Club and SISU to underwrite Wasps’ costs and any future damages...

It’s an attractive product on the pitch. That’s literally it. Attendances scale with league position and not much else. You want crowds? Put out a successful team (in a nearby location I should add). Everything else is people own romanticism or cynicism quite frankly. The idea that the ground...

I don’t think we will get back to the Prem any time soon. But if we did, and we did what to you suggest, if we were to get relegated (more than likely) we’d be in exactly the same situation you’re complaining about. The issue is one of relegation not stadiumdesign is my point.

For the record I’d have an 18k capacity at this new ground, because I think if we could support much bigger we should be at the Ricoh and 18k provides a nice space for smaller stuff aside from football. But the idea that HR was ever anything but a morgue most days, or that the Ricoh itself is...

Yeah and then in the year we spend building an upgrade we get relegated and you lot moan about a soulless bowl again. RoS is right. The Ricoh was a ground for a Prem team that never came. The problem was relegation and a decade of failure, not the stadium design.
