If both want the same thing, just join forces right? Would be good for us in theory, the more money behind us the better.

I wonder how keen King would be. He started as a joint, albeit majority, owner with Sisu and couldn’t work with them. Frasers would be unlikely to be even relatively quiet, let alone silent, partners. I don’t understand why they wanted ownership of the arena, unless it was for eventual leverage to ownership of the club.

Wasps fans had more travel and often came from outside the city.

Would still have to park and walk to whatever mode of transport they were going to use to get home, similar numbers of pedestrians all ejected from the stadium at the same time. The stadium which they operated and effectively “owned”.

I must stop my implied criticism of Wasps, the stripey rip off merchant bastards.

Sorry I meant I think they had a lot of transport put on that meant less cars but could be wrong. Also their crowds weren’t really close to ours.

My understanding is once Frasers withdrew the 'Sisu' agreement the EFL insisted we start again. As a gesture they agreed to the present arrangement mainly because they knew the club was at no fault and they wanted to give DK the opportunity to put in place his plans.

As to the reducing term I think they take a pragmatic view that a 10 year agreement will last unless something unusual happens or the club breaks the terms.

There is a backstop provision which requires the club to show at the end of a current season they have a suitable ground to play at for the next season. I think this applies to all clubs

The car parks were generally sold out at their peak - as Italia could confirm

I normally park just opposite Car Park A off Judds Lane. I know that we'll have to wait in the car for 15-30 mins to get out and it's fine.

Put stewards on the lights at the bottom of the steps with 1police officer and have them constantly operating the crossing.
Alter the sequence to give pedestrians priority ( not exclusive) for approximately 15/20 minutes.
95% of the problem would be solved. If drivers persist in jumping red lights the police can deal with them.
If it persists, close the ferkin road and we can all sit here and tell drivers in future to do one.

@Sky Blue Pete Pete,can you ask why, today, going into block 13, our STs were checked at the bottom and top of the stairs?
What criminality did they think would happen in between the 2 checks?

@Sky Blue Pete thanks for the laughing emoji!
But it's a genuine question mate.
I don't fork out a the money I do watching this team to be treated like a criminal.
