In that case CCFC should stop all the nonsense about being formed in 1883 as they weren't professional for their first 9 years or so.

Wasps don't seem to think so...The Club turned professional, not nearly the same. Wasps FC set up a separate professional team, Wasps RFC while maintaining the amateur club Wasps FC and they both went their separate ways not long after. Good try though. No pun intended.
Yes, this is Toni you're dealing withFirst pro season was 96/97 with the top division made up of: Bath, Bristol, Gloucester, Harlequins, Leicester, London Irish, Northampton, Orrell, Sale, Saracens, Wasps, West Hartlepool
Final amateur season was 95/96 with the top division made up of: Bath, Bristol, Gloucester, Harlequins, Leicester, Orrell, Sale, Saracens, Wasps, West Hartlepool
London Irish and Northampton were the top 2 clubs in the second tier that season.
Are people really trying to claim that they aren't the same clubs?

Fucking hell Tony. Have a day off.That would be no different to MK Dons claiming that they have a 120year history. They clearly don't.
Some in the media have.
I don't disagree with any of that. It was the notion that the professional team of Wasps (Wasps RFC) somehow have a 150 year history, they don't. It was set up by the amateur team (Wasps FC) 30 years ago and split from the amateur team when they moved to Loftus Road in the mid 90's just 1 year after being formed leaving Wasps FC as an amateur only club at there original location where they still play today with their 150 year history as a separate entity.
Wasps are not nomadic. I'm sorry but this is a deliberately lazy form of expression that people use to justify hypocrisy. It's almost as though people don't know what nomads are. Wasps were based in London from their origins (which they notably haven't disclaimed) 150 years ago. Their fan base hailed from London and it's surrounds, and they remained in London in terms of their academy until very recently. Again, nomads by definition move from place to place aimlessly - until the Ricoh became available Wasps always looked to remain in or near London. Even Wasps owner when he bought the club said it; "Wasps are a London club." - why on earth would they call themselves 'London Wasps' if that also wasn't their intention at the time.
Wycombe to London is patently not Coventry to London unless you're an idiot or you're dancing on the head of a pin to avoid admitting an inconvenient truth. If moving to QPR and then Wycombe made Wasps nomadic, then what did moving from HR to the Ricoh and then to Northampton and back to the Ricoh make us? Nomadic is a crap argument, and it simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny I'm afraid.
Wasps moved from London to Coventry for business reasons that suited their owner at the time, in this case a very cheap deal on a stadium. If our owners, for business reasons that suit them at the time, decide to move us elsewhere then who here who accepts Wasps can complain? Either it's OK to move a club from its roots for the owner's business reasons, or it isn't.
Timothy said he had investors didn't he for new stadium/BPA upgrade?
I was thinking that, can't be his missus either. Come on mate.Forget Wasps, who's your Facebook friend?

Mrs Stupot07. Didn't realise at the time, was going to take it down but tony had already quoted it.I was thinking that, can't be his missus either. Come on mate.
Lol!
Wasps are NOT a London club NOW.
Wasps have moved their home stadium at leat 5 times therefore they can be classed as nomadic.

I think FB was being facetious mateLOL!
I hadn't realised that WASPS (previously known as LONDON WASPS) had moved to Coventry NOW. Thanks for putting me right.
Coventry City:
Five moves, five grounds. FIVE! So Coventry City are officially 'NOMADIC'. I know this because you told me it is a FACT.
- Dowells Field: 1883–1887
- Stoke Road: 1887–1899
- Highfield Road: 1899–2005
- Ricoh Arena: 2005–2013
- Sixfields Stadium: 2013–2014 (ground-share with Northampton Town)
- Ricoh Arena: 2014–present
Let me just confirm this by saying the following to HELP YOU and PROVE that I am entirely right. END OF.
(Phew, it's really hard writing in the style of an eight year-old, I think I'll take a breather now).

Just a thought on Butts Park. We're told by many its a non starter as it couldn't cope with more people than attend CRFC and the old folks will object to the noise.
So what happens when UB40 play there in a few weeks. Would imagine they are expecting a crowd as big as, if not larger, than we get and it should be a whole lot louder for longer. Doesn't seem to have been any problem putting that on.

Think I read someone they'd sold 4,000 in the first few weeks on sale.Looking on line it seems to be sold out. Can't find anywhere where it says how many tickets have been sold or were available though.
Got a very large extended family those Campbell brothers.Think I read someone they'd sold 4,000 in the first few weeks on sale.

If that was the full allocation isn't that the current capacity at the BPA?
Even if BPA is a potential go`er long term no way will it be ready for 2018/2019 season with planning issues, environmental studies, discussions with residents and building stands and infrastructure.
CCFC will have to inform the EFL by November/December this year of there concrete plans for the following season.
Over to you Mr Fisher, whats your real plan.

FWIW, I'd put Hinckley above there...Nuneaton.
We will be paying seven fold that if we end up in a long term deal at wasps.
