I stand by that
Everybody who went to watch at Sixfields were supporting the SISU plans weren't they? That was what you liked telling everybody.
Italia does, all the Wasps fans he talks to that go to the Ricoh don't mind them being at the Ricoh :facepalm:
The ones I have talked too realise it was here or bust.
I guess the ones who are not happy don't come so are voting with their feet.
Bigger crowds shows a new fanbase but I don't know the mix of old and new.
That's before they moved.
Ask the ones attending here what they think.
Didn't you say you could "hold your head high" as you never went? Didn't you "like" posts that slagged fans off for going to Sixfields?
No i'm saying 3K on a petition from a team with an average 5K attendance is pretty impressive. Especially when their forum bans anyone who speaks against the move.
Only half of my post then?I stand by that
No, I said that the fans that go are indirectly supporting Sisu plan to get the Ricoh.
Never had a go at them but just highlighting the implications.
Surely the ones who didn't agree wouldn't be there to answer?
They can't even pay for the academy that's supposingly bring built.
This is what makes you a joke.
Why would they pay for it if they can use their status to get a sponsor to do it ?
But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good moan.
I get it now Italia. If Sixfields was a better facility you would have gone and SISU would have been the Messiahs. Why haven't I been able to see this before?

He means CCFC should have bid 30 mill. They should have paid a lot more than Wasps actually did because it means more to them.
No, if he could walk to it.
What he means is, when you claim to be as rich as they do and you have just taken 35m in bonds. Usually you would build and pay for it then attract a sponsor to recuperate costs. Where as they despite all the millions in the bank seem reluctant to pay out initially?
To sum that up ................... great business
To clarify. If we have 30m for a 15000 seater which doesn't exist ( Tim's figure for a new build somewhere near Cov ), why couldn't we have upped the bid for the Ricoh to a maximum of 30m? Maximum, it does not have to be 30m. The Ricoh has everything that we want - from 365 days revenue to the car park. I am saying that quibbling over 5,5m for the Higgs' share was not clever. Should have negotiated for both shares, an extension of the lease and pay off the loan with a ceiling of 30m, that being the alternative ( without counting time spent looking for a stadium and maybe a poor location in the end ) of building Tim's Lego stadium. We didn't, we offered Higgs 2m cash, take it or leave it. Which they did.
Only problem is there struggling to get the stadium sponsored let alone the training ground.

Because it wasn't worth that, as proven by the selling price?
If CCFC offered £2m for 50% and it was turned down, and then it sold be £150 million for 100% I'd agree it was a joke bid.
Have they said they have £30 million anywhere?
But they haven't got a sponsor to do it. They are looking for a sponsor to pay for it. Why can't the self proclaimed richest club in Europe pay for a new (not refurb of Higgs, that's not what was promised) state of the art trainng ground in Coventry?
I wonder who paid for the CCFC Academy facilities? Was it CCFC, no it wasn't.
What's that got to do with anything? Did CCFC promise a brand new state of the art facility in the city? Do they go around proclaiming to be the richest club in Europe?
No they haven't though. The club refused to confirm or deny the speculation. Stop spouting shit!
