Heavily edited? Here are you a couple of unedited posts from you.
You must be the only person on this forum who is glad that Wasps are messing us about.

For your incomplete records I said it was not an issue as it will be moved to a Sunday as previously years OR be sorted with no real problems.
Glad to see that Wasps are only flexing there muscle a little and not going for a knock out.
Calm down. They will move them to Sunday like they have done every other year.
It happens every year and within a few days the clashes see the rugby moved to Sunday by Wasps..
Keep moaning though if it helps.
This has been gone over in detail on this forum before but of course you've conveniently forgotten that. When we were paying £1.2m a year the matchday costs came out every season at around £400K. The matchday costs are now a lot higher.Probably because nobody knows what they really are. All we know is all clubs have to pay them.
I can see a justification for matchday costs increasing as the crowd increases. I can see no justification for matchday costs going up as the crowds go down.More false news.
Of course there are match day costs. Particularly for us where we accumulate them depending on crowd size.
It's a result of having such a low rent, where we then have to buy the add ons. Extra stand, catering, cleaning etc.
It's just as wrong for some to compare the original £1.2M rent that probably included, offices, shop, ticketing etc etc.
Matchday costs should not change because the level of the rent has changed. The reason the rent is lower is we have no ticket office, no shop, no club offices etc and limited use of the ground. We don't even get first choice on dates, a FL requirement, and aren't allowed to play friendlies there.There is no breakdown, of course there are incremental costs on both rents. But your not comparing like for like when the £1.2M covered some of them costs.
As for distracting, you guys started frothing at me when I just pointed out that it was moved to Friday because Wasps are playing on Saturday.
Bunch of children on this thread...absolute waste of my time reading it.
thanks for letting us know and I can only apologise on behalf of everyone on this thread and assure you that we will try harder to meet with your approval in future.

Honestly don’t get the drama. Almost 8 months notice.
Imagine if we ever got to the prem.
hardly any games seem to be 3pm on sat any more.
You don't get it when people chose to buy something based on their level of attendance and when dates are changed on them it makes it over priced. I wouldn't have bought a season ticket if I knew so many games would be moved away from Saturday, that includes if we were ever in the premier league. If there was an option to refund my season ticket and get a match package then I'd do that now but there isn't so I'm stuck paying more money than I should be as I can't attend. 8 months notice, fucking great, I'll just get a new job then that means I can attend shall I? Some people have fuck all understanding of other people's situations and its bollocks.Honestly don’t get the drama. Almost 8 months notice.

I wish the wasps had never moved here,but to be honest they are here and the blame lies with our shity owners.
We had ample opportunity to get a good deal on the stadium but wanted it for nothing, and we were happy to play dirty to get it.
Well that worked a treat didn’t it.
As for Friday night games, on a purely selfish note I quite enjoy them, but I feel for fellow fans who can’t make fridays.
I am on about long before that when we could have had the deal the wasps have, (oh sorry that was not on offer to SISU was it).Please stop this nonsense, a good deal for the stadium never existed for CCFC. The best offer they go prior to Northampton was £400k rent a year + matchday costs. Even when the club was struggling financially and asked for a reduction in rent it was rejected.

SISU wanted the stadium for nothing and were prepared to go to any lengths to get it. And no I do not know the exact details as none of us do. But whatever the deal it was surely 100 times better than we have now.

In exactly the same boat. Ridiculous that they never even mentioned this being a possibility. Maybe I was being naive thinking it would be okay on Saturdays, but they should have held out early bird prices till this was announced atleast.You don't get it when people chose to buy something based on their level of attendance and when dates are changed on them it makes it over priced.

Exactly, could have had half of it (that had no control because of a council veto) and a short lease for around the same as what wasps paid for it all with 250 years.The club requested a rent reduction in 2006. It was rejected. The formula for the club to buy the Higgs' share greatly over valued it and was twice what Wasps paid.
But we were negotiating a DEAL,so safe to assume we would have met somewhere in the middle of what they were offering and what we wanted.Exactly, could have had half of it (that had no control because of a council veto) and a short lease for around the same as what wasps paid for it all with 250 years.
Not to mention issues before sisu were even here.

But we now know SISU do not negotiate, or do deals. They just put people out of business and take what they want for nothing.
FFS by the time the shitty insects arrived nobody wanted to even talk to SISU as things had become so toxic.
But we have argued this a thousand times, half blame SISU and half blame the council and we keep going over the same ground. One thing is clear though,our owners are a bunch of knuts who don’t give a shit about the club or us fans.
No rant just stating fact that no party council or Higgstrust, wanted to deal with SISU because of the way they were doing business. I agree the council had no right giving wasps what they did,and also agree the council screwed the club by being stupid and bloody minded just to get one over on wasps.You are just ranting now though aren't you? Obviously things are negotiated and deals are done with the club.
You are forgetting nobody wanted to talk about the stadium even before SISU were here. That's not saying they are innocent, it's just stating how it was.
The council doing what they did has left us screwed even if the world's best owners come in next.
The 'drama' is because it will cause our fans inconvenience.Honestly don’t get the drama. Almost 8 months notice.

They all acted like kids getting their own back, and wasps took full advantage of naive idiots who should stick to their day jobs.

Are you talking about prior to SISU taking ownership when the council refused to deal with anyone interested in taking the club over who wanted a stake in the stadium?I am on about long before that when we could have had the deal the wasps have, (oh sorry that was not on offer to SISU was it).
I play rugby on Saturdays, so the more the games moved to Fridays or Sundays, the better for me! The Friday night game for Stevenage game was a good atmosphere so I’d like us to have a few Fridays pencilled in.
