not one for rumours but something has been playing on my mind and seeing rumours we have not been paying our rent its keeps playing on my mind. I read last week that the demolition of Rusdens ground had a last minute intervention but no reason why was not said , the ground bas earmarked for the bulldozers due to being declared as a fire risk , well the best and cheapest way to not being a fire hazard is to put occupants in . Not saying owt but it would not suprise me if our shower of shit owners would move us again
yes that's what was said ,but now with the gates as low as they are , you would still get the 1500/2000 faithfull plus unlike Northampton and with kettering going under the chance to build a new club in a large populated area , they don't give a fuck about us or Coventry , they have proved thatI heard that Fisher/SISU wanted us to move there after the Northampton deal had expired, but was forced to rethink when the fans shunned Sixfields.
Rushden and Diamonds moving back to original Rushden groundyes that's what was said ,but now with the gates as low as they are , you would still get the 1500/2000 faithfull plus unlike Northampton and with kettering going under the chance to build a new club in a large populated area , they don't give a fuck about us or Coventry , they have proved that
And couldn't recoup.What benefit would SISU get out of moving the club there? It's not like Northampton or the Ricoh where we pay rent to a landlord who maintains the stadium and pitch. All it would be is cost that the club isn't used to paying.
If we weren't paying rent, we would know by now, surely the media would of been all over it?
Meant to add that locals will travel to see them not some other team playing at Nene ParkRushden and Diamonds moving back to original Rushden ground
CV1 to Nene Park is 44.7 miles.
We will all be flocking there in our thousands won't we.
someone posted a valid reason for the postponement of it's demolition but I can't recall exactly what it was.

tend to agree with that.SISU would have to invest something in the site to get it open. For that reason alone I can't see it happening. Maybe Tim is going to spank the million pound profit on it.
If we get relegated to Division 4......which is looking very likely......I can see our season tickets sold down to 2,000 or less. Crap football played by a crap team in a crap division because of crap owners. A small reduction in price....say £250. So season ticket sales would bring in about half a million. How much is the rent and matchday expenses? Will Wasps offer a new contract or not put the rent up vastly?What benefit would SISU get out of moving the club there?

They did it once the FA won't let them do it twice but then they don't uphold their own rules
If (enormous 'if') the FA sticks to its rules on distance from home city, Nene Park is an no-go anyway. It is far too distant to be considered as an alternative
Yes, it would be a significant cost.I work right next to the stadium - I work in what used to be R&DFC player's quarters - where they have meals and showers etc.
We were advised that the demolition would take around 4 months, starting next month.
The stadium is an absolute mess. The pitch is severely overgrown, windows all smashed in etc.
It would take a lot of money to get that place up and running again.
Most of the training pitches have been dug up and now are used to train people on diggers and dumpers etc, and my company owns half of the car park (some of which is constantly fenced off for crane training.)
Not only that, they took down and sold the floodlights months ago, and have already started ripping the seats out.
I'd be very surprised if the stadium wasn't completely knocked down in the near future.
Sounds like we'll playing there then?I work right next to the stadium - I work in what used to be R&DFC player's quarters - where they have meals and showers etc.

They don't give a fuck either! MK Dons spring to mindIf (enormous 'if') the FA sticks to its rules on distance from home city, Nene Park is an no-go anyway. It is far too distant to be considered as an alternative
Thats the point in shrinking the club, a few hundred will probably still go, move into a new area, chuck a few flags up, offer free tickets, get a few thousand "new" fans, dead easy. I am christening it the "Wasps Template"
