There were a few games that were fabulous and had we won the league there there would be a number more before the end of the season. I feel differently to Birmingham than Northampton. I genuinely think that it wasn’t all Sisu fault and it definitely wasn’t ccfc fault that things failed 2 seasons ago.
I just hope this is a long term deal and we can focus on increasing the money to the team on the pitch
It’s hardly surprising we managed to generate some decent atmosphere around our first league title in 50 years. But a few decent crowds against Sunderland/Rotherham etc doesn’t take away how shit the overall experience was, and how appalling it was that we were denied the opportunity to see a title run in our own city. No number of sessions at the Roost can persuade me otherwise.
Great news but weirdly will miss Birmingham
Apart from the obvious of not being in Coventry, everything about the match day experience was better in Birmingham - from the pub, walking through the houses, parking on the roads, getting a burger etc. This of course was probably helped by us having such a good season in league 1.
Maybe we can poach some of their friendly stewards also rather than the "security" stewards at the Ricoh
Looking at the state of their pitch they will probably be glad to be rid of us, but the local businesses will miss an extra week of money, where I used to park it was £5 and was always packed a nice little earner for somebody.
Plz stay up now. We got relegated at wring time for original Ricoh move. Lets not do it again!
If we come back, I couldn't give a flying fuck if I get my exact seat or not. More than happy for somebody who hasn't been before to get a season ticket there. I'll just move back a bit.
Ricoh pitch is a state as well. Wonder if there will be some agreement and we have a day on the pitch we need. Ultimately we play more games than Wasps do and will have the stadium open more often.
They were hyping it up as an announcement not Gilbert coming on for a quick update to tell us what we pretty much already knew. Could easily have been an announcement that was embargoed by the parties involved until 7:30am today,Why did some think that Simon Gilbert (not employed by Cov or Wasps) was going to be able to make an official announcement. I know he can be a bit of a prick at times but what else is he expected to do?
In all honesty it would be if we could get it arranged as say a present season friendly with silverware as the prize, I would imagine we'd take a good following too!I’d rather this then a return to the Ricoh. We’re finely poised at 1-1. Let’s get our first European* trophy
https://giphy.com/GZGdVo4FcgpeOhhogwI haven't been to St Andrews. I only go to a handful of matches each season. Doesn't make you anymore of a fan than me.
Jump down from your pedestal before you fall off.

So pretty much what we were already talking about. Just hope we now get the confirmation and this isn't Wasps feeding Gilbert some info to place themselves as the good guys when it all collapses, we've been there before.Deal all but agreed.
EU commission issue not a problem for Wasps now.
Official announcement tomorrow.
EFL board meeting today to ratify could happen today.
Deal is for up to 10 years with break clauses. Minimum 7 year term.
Still want to build new stadium.
If this Ricoh announcement is true could that mean the answer from the EU on the sisu appeal is known or are sisu selling up.
If you want a good pitch,you got to spend money on it. That means the initial outlay and just as important , the ongoing maintenance.Ricoh pitch is a state as well.

Lots of man hours and money.
They should have been able to move the pitch out of the ground so it could have got some nice sun and wind in the car park this might have been in the original plans.
If we are moving back to the Ricoh AND we are still in the Championship, it suggests to me that SISU have had some interest from another party in buying the club.
Full house every game next season then.
Cov vs Cambridge will be a real sell out.Full house every game next season then.
Nonsense. There are plenty of new details now that no-one else had.
I know most people on here hate the guy, but Gilbert deserves credit for reporting out a story that now has all of us talking.
Why does it?If we are moving back to the Ricoh AND we are still in the Championship, it suggests to me that SISU have had some interest from another party in buying the club.
I didn't listen to all of it.
What was the new detail?
