And what would it take for Wasps to fail?

Low crowds?

Doesn't the lease revert back to the freeholder?

You're as boringly repetitive with this as you werw with saying you wouldnb't go to Sixfields and saying those who did were letting the club down.

It isn't 'done' unless people quietly accept it. Given your viewpoint about Sixfields and its attendees, your hypocrisy astounds.

To deter the concept of sporting clubs being able to move at a whim to where is most financially viable.

So you've bought into this we can only succeed at someone elses expense and that we can't do something properly in order to succeed bullshit. Its got us a long way hasn't it.

7 years plus.
Where will we play while we wait for them to fail and starve them out.
They will have the same vice like grip as our owners have on this football club.

As an aside, and objectively, it would be interesting to know how long their paymasters give them to decide if something is a success or failure.

Certainly won't be decided in a few months though, that's for sure.

The same as ccfc is bank rolling court costs you mean?

I agree though, sisu might come in and use the ricoh to get finance and give them selves a few million of it.

No I really wouldn't have said that.

It might indeed have been good business sense, but that's counter to good sporting etiquette and cultural and social benefits or losses.

As people know that go and watch.
Sometimes in the casino I have to think whether it's football or Rugby.

Hoping Wasps fail is a hope but not a plan.
The best thing for this club is too be successful on the pitch, increase the profiles.
Who knows some billionaire might step in and buy a stadium and 2 Premier clubs just for the status !!

I'm not even sure our owners and a certain proportion of our fanbase want a Stadium that size .

Football fans are inherently selfish and only are interested in the good of the club,

It seems very strange some of our supporters take a magnanimous view towards invaders from another territory.

Given our issues with moving miles away the position becomes utterly ridiculous.

So you can't hate the situation we are in, realise that there is nothing we can do about it and just get on with life ?
I feel sorry for you and your futile battle.

The platform is needed.
Click to expand...

That's not totally correct. The platform would certainly aid accommodating any extra train services on matchdays, but it's not the be all and end all.

The extra capacity could be accommodated on existing platforms. But it would take some serious reshuffling to make room for the extra trains. And cooperation from the station and train operators.

Never said they were letting the club down, so get your facts right.
I said those that were going were supporting the Sisu plan to get the Ricoh.

You do know there's a question mark at the end? That makes it a question, not a statement. So technically those three little words are not speaking anything.

Yep, like 'Are you a big, fat, gay, black lesbian?'

Would say that is a question that speaks at a pretty high volume.
