It'll have to be sorted out before the rugby season starts. When is that?Has anybody seen the pitch at the Ricoh since that Monster Truck event ? and what state it might be in ?
Hi Nick, can we use your ground yet?Didn't Boddy say talks are still ongoing????
Spot on.
Any idea on when this is ?Forget the Ricoh until the EC verdict
If they decide there needs to be an investigation could be years.Any idea on when this is ?
A long fucking time if Real Madrids case is anything to go by, maybe im reading it wrong, complaint in 2011, decision to instigate the investigation 2013, case decided 2016 taken from here Case search - Competition - European Commission also CURIA - DocumentsAny idea on when this is ?
My thinking before we left the Ricoh was if we do it would be 5-10 years until we returnedit could well be several years. one things for sure, its going to be an interesting few years ahead.
The EFL wont be driving the return to Coventry agenda part , I cant see SISU building a stadium (happy to be wrong) and with SISU saying 3 clubs were happy for us to rent, we could be gone for a lot longer than people think.
me personally, I am not sure how many years it would take for CCFC to play outside Coventry to mean that it would ceases to become Coventry City for me
I don't know the answer, it could be 5, it could be indefinite.
Curious if anyone else has any thoughts ?
ie, if we rented in Birmingham for 3 years and their circumstances changes so we had to move to rent at West Brom, does that matter etc.

You think Wasps genuinely didn't know about the EU case until Gilbert broke it, mid-talks?Head: we’ll be gone for 5 years
Heart: We’ll get promoted and Wasps will come to some agreement.
Needs to be a way for Wasps to save some face here, obviously feel Sisu were taking the piss with the EU case not being mentioned but in the cold light of day what’s done is done and there’s no point cutting off their nose to spite their face. I’m hoping a season away will clear some minds.
Really hope we just build a ground and end all this crap.

I do. Unless you have something to show otherwise it’s the most logical conclusion.
I’m generally not a conspiracy theorist. I go with Hanlons Razor and assume incompetence explains most things. I can believe that they didn’t know. Aside from anything else, why wouldn’t they publicise it when they found out? It was an instant PR win.
Will we be able to park our cars there free of charge as can't walk that far from our house (hence why we had to pay for car parking at the Ricoh previously).Talked to people who run the coaches 2nd pick up point after White St will be Ricoh on Tesco side by train station.
You will be able to park on the streetsWill we be able to park our cars there free of charge as can't walk that far from our house (hence why we had to pay for car parking at the Ricoh previously).
Christ the King car park on Winding House Lane would have been a good place.
I would guess that if Wasps play same day as us, street parking would be out. I’m going to park where I did when we played at the RicohYou will be able to park on the streets
It's not a conspiracy theory is it?
Throughout this whole saga stories have been fed to the press so this would just be another one to add to the list.
The alternative is that Gilbert actually went out, did some digging and found the story himself which really is highly unlikely.
I rather like the conspiracy theory that SISU were Gilbert's source, myself...It is the definition of a conspiracy theory. It’s based on the idea that multiple people conspired to hold back information with no proof other than your own prejudice against Gilbert. The fact you have to find yourself having the position that a journalist finding information is highly unlikely to make it hang together should be massive red flags.
I’m sorry you don’t like the words we use in English to define things.

Hasn’t Gilbert said that it was Wasps that gave him the information?It is the definition of a conspiracy theory.

Sure I've seen him reply to someone querying his claim that talks were called off, something both Wasps and CCFC have publicly said didn't happen, saying that Wasps gave him the information about the EC complaint and talks ending in private.just checked, Gilbert first mentioned it on his Twitter saying sources had told BBC Cov and Wark that sisu had lodged the complaint so to be fair to him he didn't claim to have uncovered the story but it does confirm that someone went to the press with it.

The club said before there were a couple of sticking points and that was one of them didn't they?The council would have had notice of the complaint by April easily. They of course wouldn't have kept that secret from Wasps as it is potentially a material issue for them. Therefore, I think it's reasonable to believe that Wasps knew about the EC complaint.
