Didn’t lose fans when we went to Northampton Otis and I don’t think we’ll lose fans playing At Stans.

Of course we want to be playing back at Coventry but not to help those bastard Wasps.

The bigger picture is worse than losing fans who are enticed away by something else on Saturdays, ensuring that we are unable to progress to anything other than a Championship/League 1 yo-yo club is a far bigger cause for concern in the long-term.

This has been coming since they were parachuted into the Ricoh though and over the course of the next decades they will see CCFC as a direct competitor for new fans, whether we like it or not.

This has been coming since we vacated the ricoh for Northampton. Just admit that you've backed the wrong horse.

Not interested in games there. I've been in Glasgow with the wife. Found other things to do with my Saturday's.
Why do you stalk me on this forum?

Mixture of reasons really.

My mum has dementia and I have to go over and see her everyday and she has now had five falls, so is always in and out of hospital. I also sort out all my parents washing and shopping and financial stuff.

However, I am also struggling to find the motivation to go to St Andrews anyway. I just hate the thought of it.

Have nearly gone on a couple of occasions, but still haven't yet.

The £1.2m a year rent would have ended the club and multiple requests to renegotiate were turned down.

How is backing the club I support backing the wrong horse?

You are supporting the team over 23 games this season then? Are you keeping your own personal track of the away games only table?

But we could afford to pay 7 million in wages so the rent although stupidly high was affordable then yes or no?

I'm not a superfan though. The seasons I've had a st since 79 don't count. If you don't go to the sty your not a fan anymore. What was the gate yesterday? 5k was it. That says it all.

Who's said your not backing the club? You jumping on the backs of people who slag the owners off is weird. Why do you do it?

I know he doesn’t but he seems to be not even acknowledging we play 46 games this season including 23 home ones

You don’t have to be a super fan to acknowledge we play a 46 game season and not a 23 one.

Will you only go to Wembley then if our away form has us in the top 6 as you are not interested in and not counting home games?

I m in the camp of would nt want to come back to be the underlings of the Franchise London Wasps at the Ricoh unless as owners or part owners. I d much prefer a new ground in Coventry or very very close.
As for losing fans, we re down to just over 5000 who continue to go.
I genuinely do nt think the Ricoh will drag back fans.
I think 8/9000 tops which is shocking.
Interested too hear what people think we ll achieve by going back and subsidising a Franchise Rugby Club.
Happy to see them lose again yesterday.

Back in reality that is utter bollocks. SISU are dreadful owners but the club would have been screwed long term paying £1.2m rent.

Just think we have to get back in Cov ASAP for the sake of the club's future.

With wasps struggling im sure there could be some mutually beneficial arrangements made regarding income streams.
It's not ideal but with no new ground on the horizon (and never will be in my oopinion) I think its the best option we have.
Personally I still prefer Sr.Andrews and had another great day yesterday but staying there isn't sustainable in my eyes.

We need part ownership of the ricoh and access to the revenue streams we create.

Didn't the wages get cut? It's a moot point people like pwkh kept spinning while they were creaming themselves over wasps in the background.

That will cost £30 million with a half share of £35 million debt

Great plan

They just don’t wanna hear this, same as the fact wasps kicked us out this year. Doesn’t suit the anti sisu narrative
