Oh, and my view on NOPM and boycotting SISU is that ultimately, it is hard to take but you join the list of people who in trying to hurt SISU are just damaging the club...

Going back to the original point of the thread; IMO SISU only view CCFC as another one of their assets, there is no emotional tie to the club, desire to see the club succeed or the fans be happy, we are just another avenue to potentially getting some sort of financial reward - although I haven't...

Whilst I've not seen anything to blow me away in terms of overall performance the results have generally been great and the fight and togetherness of the team has been immense so far this year. Which makes me feel optimistic because we are not reliant on a single individual for our position...

Really? Even more so than Wise when he was with us? No wonder he stayed for so long first time round. Good player though so can't really complain.

I wonder what portion of that "£36m" went to paying directors and paying off former managers contracts. It certainly didn't go on players surely... Although I guess player wages might have been silly in the championship... Wasn't (I shudder to say his name) Kevin Kyle on a fat wedge?

Cheers for this, brightened up lunch.

The article is pretty depressing, other than saying Wasps fill it (which they have done at most a handful of times) I think it is a fairly accurate series of events. It doesn't go into the childish behaviour of Ann Lucas but the afters has been ridiculous from both sides. That isn't to say I...

The score line was disappointing even if the result was expected. Pirates, Ealing and Irish have a lot of years of cumulative building and spending at this (and higher) level of rugby so are a big step up in terms of the first 15 let alone 23 and squad. I'm happy that Rowland is picking his...

Wasps statement - “We have noted today’s judgment from the Court of Appeal and the response from the relevant parties. We await further developments and, in the meantime, our position regarding the possibility of future discussions with CCFC remains unchanged.” I read from this that they are...

Is it possible that the legal teams know anything either way? Is it possible that the JR has traction and knowing it will take months to years to come to a conclusion want to make Wasps the reason for any failed negotiation? I'm trying to read too much into it I think..

Doyle was ok. I think he does slow the game down a bit more these days but does control things and provide some experience which is important. Davies looked really good last night, looked confident throughout the game.

I work with a hardcore Tigers fan who went to a game a couple of weeks ago and said it cost him £42 for his ticket and he was sat near the corner. To sit near the half way line would have been £56. So I think they get a large proportion of the rugby income over a smaller proportion of events...

Let him get his finest crayons out and think of the longest word he can almost spell, steal a stamp to post the letter and see what happens... I can guarantee that absolutely nothing will happen... Why would it be an issue if there were Newcastle fans at the game. Just because their fans can't...

Indeed, Dave. I don't know how part or all of the arena itself could be sold because it would only be a sale of the lease. Selling ACL would possibly allow the lease to be transferred but I don't know enough about the legal/financial aspects of that. Could the Council be selling the...

I'd not considered that... I certainly hope not. If they took him for the 4 weeks would any of those be just tackles below ankle height cup games?

I think Sharpe is right, it is a club for the community and has a family atmosphere which is a large part of the attraction and club values. Lose that and the club values are diminished somewhat, and to be honest anyone who pays their entrance fee to CRFC is financially supporting the club so I...

I've heard a slightly less optimistic version that they are looking at options for potentially selling parts of the business to raise short term cash. Not sure if this is to offset against the debt or to go towards any improvement projects, I'd guess the former but it could as easily be the...

Great result Saturday, annoyed to have missed the football but then happy to have celebrated two wins Saturday night. I was a bit nervous towards the end of the game but thought we played well. If we can keep getting the wins at home it should see us do ok this year. My only slight concern is...

One thing to note though, this fixture isn't now possible because Wasps have done anything in particular i.e. should get credit for. It has become possible because we got promoted last season and have pushed our team to a point where we are competitive enough to give a Premiership team a game -...

Having not long surfaced following too much celebration after yesterday. I'd just like to say what Kneeza said is bang on and I'm very excited for how we'll go this season. I can see us ending up somewhere between 4-6 this season as we have strength in depth. We did Euro champions last weekend...
