Wraps (ACL) responsible for everything at the Ricoh, including cancellation of our game last Tuesday against Barnsley! Never mind we'll play it on 3rd November.

Thought I'd read something about improving the 'away' changing rooms, having been relegated to these by Wasps.

Yes, we are now the 'away' team in terms of original changing rooms.

However, I suspect we will want to do well in the JPT this season so we can help Wasps rectify this poor décor

I thought that they built a third dressing room for us and the away dressing room remained the away dressing room?

As far as I remember we now have the original changing rooms, which was supposed to be smaller than the original home one minus all the warm up facilties.

They built a yet small 3rd changing room for the away football team.

The better we do the more some moan. It is like some are unhappy about being happy.

I cant believe the owners of the stadium have allowed it to fall into such disrepair. They need to speak with Mowbray, he got some good people in to do Ryton, perhaps we can arrange for them to give a quote to Wasps. ( adding 20% on for the football club in the way of a finders fee)

We've obviously not asked Wasps, because that's all it would take, right Italia?

The owners are as honest as they come and they definitely didn't enquire about purchasing the Ricoh before they even bought Wasps.

What's more they put their fans above anything else and have even been nominated for community club of the year by some rag of a paper.

They also want to work with the city's actual rugby team and want them to do as well as possible

You replied earlier in the thread. It's in the changing room at the ricoh. You constantly say how wasps are the good guys. They moved the club out of the home dressing room. Which is their perogative as they own the stadium. Whilst doing that they told the club we would be provided with a new changing room albeit smaller than our rightful one. Now if there such wonderful landlords why have we got an unpainted door frame? Or could it just might be that they don't actually give a toss. Why would they when people drop all morals and beliefs in the pursuit of top level rugby!

Really?! I'm astounded at times. The worst thing sisu did was take over this club thinking there was a loyal fan base. We've been ousted by our local council and a franchise from London from our stadium. We were then moved changing room to be given a new one. Which by the looks of the picture hasn't been finished to a professional standard yet you think that's ok? Or you don't and your trying to justify it with an absurd comparison to me judging your home?

I have no qualms about a bit of paint missing from a door frame.

You have either chosen to ignore what has happened since they took over or you are a WUM.

Or do you mean that they thought we were so loyal that they could do to us what they wanted and we would all still go? That would tie in with the Fisher comment about how many of us would go to Northampton for our home games. You know, the comment where we instantly laughed at him. And us going to Northampton and Fisher continually saying we wouldn't be coming back without the freehold is the main reason why Wasps have the Ricoh.

Go to 1m40 and listen to the people laughing at Fisher's crowd figures. Moving to Northampton killed a generation of supporters.

It looks like a picture frame to me. However I have changed in the new changing room and it's fine.
Don't you think that the teams swapped changing rooms because rugby teams have a lot more players to cater for, players that are a lot bigger and get more injuries that need treating ? Sometimes you need to apply a little common sense.

Worse thing that Sisu did was take over the club ? That was only the start of their disastrous ownership and it's not over yet.
CCFC couldn't afford the stadium, Sisu knew that and they used our team to bring the value of the stadium down.
CCC sold it to Wasps as Sisu still didn't value it at the price Wasps eventually paid. Don't forget they wanted to chuck out all the complexes tenants as well.

We can't change what happened, so you can either sweat the small stuff, or just enjoy the football for the moment.

It isn't either or, they can still enjoy the football and have an opinion on something else. Surely you aren't that dim you can't understand that?
