And I have never, ever said there is, Torch.

I can only suggest Sisu World!! God knows why TF came out saying he thought we would be getting 7,000 there. It was never going to happen.

Absolutely, Nick. I can only tell you how I felt. I was against us going to Sixfields and am against Wasps being here. Don't know why I sometimes get labelled by a small minority as being an apologist. I was awaiting Cov's protest and I would have been totally onboard with that had it...

Nope. I for one have never said it was a franchise, us going to Sixfields. For me it just felt permanent and with Sisu's words I believed we would be away for a long, long time, wherever that would be. I don't think for a minute that Sisu wanted to franchise us.

Nope it wouldn't have been. I personally think it would have been 3-5 years at Northampton and then Sisu would have stated that Coventry City Council would not grant planning permission in the Coventry area and that they would then seek another groundshare and the FL would have have just...

See my post below yours, Torch. I didn't believe the FL's words and was convinced that nothing would be done about our plight, no matter how many years down the line it was. I haven't forgotten anything, To me they were just empty words and promises and I simply didn't believe a word of it.

No point retreading all ground, but did any of us trust the FL? Honestly? I remember so many of us saying that they would bend the rules at a whim and many of us had absolutley no faith in their promises whatsoever.

Well, I get that. It's all we've got though. No new stadium, stuck at the Ricoh. We have to make the best of what we've got, however unpalatable that sounds.

Sorry, completely wrong. I don't know why you would say that. I have always been against Wasps coming here. I have never wanted Wasps here. If you are so convinced they want us out, Grendel, start a protest. If you can get people believing that is the case then boycotts and protests can start...

Sorry, but that is absolute tosh. I didn't believe a new stadium was going to be built then, just as I don't believe it is going to be built now.

This was one of the main reasons I totally refused to attend Sixifields. If they weren't coming back to the Ricoh and weren't building a new stadium, then how is that not permanent? Might not have been permanent at Sixifields, but it would have just been a ground share elsewhere.

Slightly unfair that, as I have spoken to a few life long Cov fans over the past few months and they have all told me that Cov would never ever been a Premiership league club anyway.

No point going all over old ground, Nick, but the club quite clearly said they had no intention of coming back to the City and next to none of us believed they would ever build a new stadium. Sounded pretty permanent to an awful lot of City fans I can tell you. Not going to keep banging on...

Why I am naive? Cov fans on the whole I would assume are loyal to Cov and wouldn't go and watch Wasps anyway. Wasps bosses must know this anyway. There are some Cov fans though that do go to both. Best solution all round is for Wasps not to impinge upon Cov Rugby. The more Wasps annoy City...

You think you still would? Are you serious? :(

But Cov fans wouldn't do that would they. Wasps would need to make it that people can go and watch both games, if they so wish. Some Cov fans also go and watch Wasps. If there were 2 completely differing game times, then they would be able to do that.

Let's not jump the gun just yet. They could both have fixtures on the same day without a clash, say Cov at 2 p.m. and Wasps at 4.30 or 5.00. Not good though is it. Documents should have been drawn up in blood when an agreement was made, guaranteeing City stay at the Ricoh, if they so wished...

I think there is some other footage somewhere. I thought it was this, but there is an old guy walking round the pitch with his head on fire. Could be the same poor man as in this clip, but the clip I saw showed him walking round the touchline for several seconds with his head on fire. I think...

Not a good idea to have matches around a mobile phone.

And so has Barry Manilow.
