Hmmm I wonder why someone was more willing to sell to someone offering investment and partnership than taking them to court and slandering them while reneging on every deal they’ve ever made who also repeatedly stated publicly they didn’t want to make an offer.
Truly a mystery!
Whilst I kind of agree with a few posters here, yes it needs to be addressed but at the same time wonder is parliament the right place, why is it taking a Nuneaton MP to raising it? What are the Coventry ones doing?
I think that as unrelated as it is, with the pre match plans for Saturday going ahead almost the same way as Wasps do things, and us being allowed to extend or use of the Arena, we must be on better talking terms with Wasps than we were before, so that can only be a positive thing, right?
OK, it might mean that we’ve had to pay extra for the one game (chances are it won’t have come free, and the club will making a loss on the game overall), but I’m trying to see it as a positive.
I’m hoping they give us hot water in the toilet sinks as part of the deal. It was quite satisfying washing my hands the other week and getting hot water from the taps at half time, although I think someone had just turned the boiler on a few hours earlier than planned since there was a Wasps game the following day
Its getting beyond ridiculous. How can that Boddy declare before Christmas that an anouncement is imminent and now we are well into February without even a follow up or apology that theres obviously been a glitch.
As usual with most things from above at this club the transparency and communication is criminal to its loyal fanbase.
There's also the "evening with" type events, granted it isn't multi million pound stuff but it's more than before.
The other thing is how media outlets were reporting a deal was agreed but then Wasps pulled it at the last minute, maybe that is why Boddy said something was imminent and then couldn't announce anything?
Bloody hell, you are really grasping at straws to try and make a positive, how much profit does an event like that generate, £5,000 tops I would have thought.
Worth doing for a good number of reasons but insubstantial in the grand scheme of things.
Just remembering the artist impression of what the new ground would look like that was tried to be passed of as proof of plans. Didn’t it just turn out to be a generic artist impression previously used by Gillingham or someone just with the shirts of the people walking around being changed to sky blue?TBF Fisher’s Photoshop skills were far superior.

Wasps pulled it at the last minute? You'll need to show me that one.
No, the one year deal was there but the courts allowed Sisu to play on, so the deal is just put on the back burner.
It was said on CWR I think just after the imminent thing came out.
You think ?
I think that was the time it was said, it was said on CWR that Wasps were holding it up but a deal was agreed.
So if that is the case (it could be wrong), what is a debate going to achieve? Can they force it to be signed and processed?
As with a lot of this, people show an interest and then that interest just dies away and they leave us with it.
Where are the FL ? Still in Sisu's pocket ?
Sorry, but can we lose the apostrophe on "few MP's"? It's plural.

That's why I said if Eastwood, Fisher etc were all hauled up and questioned then fair play it would be getting answers.
I can't see how a few MP's who aren't really interested will get any answers from discussing it between themselves, cynical I know but it's more than likely how it will be.
Can the FL force Wasps to sign a deal?
The FL can't really do anything about it, they say "OK, Wasps haven't let you play in Coventry we are taking the club off you" and they open themselves up to worlds of shit with not just us but stadium situations going forward.
I don't know but do Sisu satisfy the rule on owners ? Perhaps they could force them to loose the club.
I thinkit has happened before.
IF it does turn out Wasps are refusing to sign the deal that's been agreed, the FL won't really have much option than to allow a move.
They will sign a deal on financial and political reasons.
I heard that the deal mentioned earlier was put together after CCFC were in discussions on moving to MK.
Decent seats there, did say to the wife that it's ideal because she could go to the cinema while I go into football.
If they will sign a deal and we will be at the Ricoh, what are a few MPs going to do by discussing it? Realistically, what can they force?
There was something like that but can't find it now, going to annoy me!
A Northampton Town supporting mate of mine said he’d heard that our owners had looked at the possibility of ground sharing with MK. Took it with a pinch of salt at the time.They will sign a deal on financial and political reasons.

It would be the end for me, no question. I believe that to remove our club outside the city was a travesty and through their incompetence for it to happen again would be a line I will not cross literally and emotionally.I think another ground share away from Coventry would probably be the end for many of the loyal fans.
Personally, I think it'll be another nail in the coffin for us if that were to happen. And I'm normally one of the more optimistic fans on here....
Agree totally. The story I heard from him is that Northampton have given us a solid no on the possibility of return so we were exploring MK as an alternative. He heard it in the stands at Sixfields, hence I’ve taken it with a pinch of salt.I think another ground share away from Coventry would probably be the end for many of the loyal fans.

Have Tim Fisher and Dale Evans ever been seen in the same room together?

I think it'd depend why they moved but God, let's not have this debate until and unless we need to!It would be the same as the Northampton move for me, I wouldn't go and if they move back I'll start going again.
Hopefully it won't come to that.

Its been said more than once on CWR. A deal was agreed which is when Boddy said an announcement was imminent. Wasps then pulled out of the deal. It was stated on CWR that the club is waiting on Wasps and there is little they can do until they get an answer from them.It was said on CWR I think just after the imminent thing came out.
