Tell me if I'm talking bollocks, But why a joint press conference?

All this talk of Club shop and CCFC signage being plastered everywhere.

The 'best deal the clubs ever received at the Ricoh'


Could it be that we actually finally have a stake in the place?

Don't see why its not just a released statement as we've had the times before, could more be afoot?

So so unhelpful. Don’t have angst at Sisu wasps and ccfc for secret squirrels and Simon letting the cat out of the bag. I don’t think Simon meant to get our hopes up he was telling a story given to him and backed up with strong sources. That it’s not happened in the timescale he and his sources have said isn’t down to wasps Sisu and ccfc. We need to all chill and wait for them all to say what’s been agreed or not

It was Wasps that were the problem last time.
It is rumoured that Joy pulled the plug first time round, as Grendel will tell us, but Wasps were the difficult ones (and maybe another!) before this season.

It’s all Jimmy Hills fault for removing the maximum wage.

Thought I’d fast forward this argument as I’ve seen it before.

Playing back in Coventry and maximising revenue in the medium term is essential. Ideally we’d have nothing to do with the franchise in the long-term.
If we have any serious PL ambitions we can’t be playing second fiddle and renting a stadium from a rugby club.

We need a Godwin’s Law for SBT.

Nobody first hand from the club or Wasps has said anything so "they" was just a rumour

Neither club broke the news. Was leaked before everything was ready. Relax though, it'll happen.

Chill.

Something as ‘big’ as this was always going to be leaked both sides know that, and probably happy it has been.

some suggestion membership restricted to 8,000 next season as gates could be restricted in difficult months - may make pricing interesting if we stay up

I think it could be another twelve months before large crowds are allowed at theatres and sporting occasions I did hear on a late tv program a couple of days ago that 25% of capacity is likely to be the maximum which at the Ricoh is about the 8000 you mention

Imagine the scenes if you connected to ifollow tomorrow and it’s just St. Andrews pitch as normal then Clive says the team are about to come out and Boddy slams through what turns out to be a printed picture of St Andrews to show they’re coming out of the ricoh and at that very moment your doorbell goes and they’ve sent all subscribers a keg of booze delivered by a hooker with some blow. Then as it kicks off you realise Mo Konjic is playing for Derby and he’s intending to give a load of penalties away and it’s 2005 and you’re in the sun at Highfield road and it’s all been a dream.

Think the government roadmap allows for full stadiums from the start of the season but probably wise for the club to restrict sales of "memberships" initially.

25% from 17th May. From the final stage at the end of June (21st??) all restrictions could be removed but that's going to be up in the air. Will see closer to the time.

Even though all legal restrictions end in June and the whole country will be vaccine? No legitimate reason not to have full crowds
