You know there’s Wasps section on here m8? You’ll love it.
Glad to see im making friends.
My first post and the reason I signed up was because I was frustrated after the Portsmouth game. The Fans Forum on facebook does my head in and, being a long time lurker of the forums I signed up - which is ironic as this is the exact same thing that happens on the Fans forum.
I've made no reference to Wasps until I was called a Wasps PR guru. I'm also not apologising for going to 2 Wasps games 2 years ago.
So you are a long time lurker (again) who signs up and the majority of their posts are along the same thing?
Show me the way!You know there’s Wasps section on here m8? You’ll love it.
A long time lurker (only the once) who signs up and messages and gets crucified for having an opinion, yes.
What do you want? A DNA test? A sworn alliegance on the bible to the club? Take a shit on a Wasps shirt?
I'll comment more on Otis' Netflix threads if you want? Would that prove it?
30 in literally several days mate. A fan since birth.
When people sign up and go all out with something very particular, what do people think will happen?
Strange, it isn't several days.
You have forgotten when you were born already.

I don't know - perhaps decent responses rather than "oh look you're a troll". Come to the wrong place for opinions and discussion apparently. Oh look, the very name of this site is Sky Blues TALK.
Judge me after a few weeks or months. No doubt I'll wind some up, but you have my word I'm a Cov fan, always have been, and always will be. Or just boot me. Your call.
You have come to the place for opinion and discussion about CCFC, yes.
That's why people find it strange when about 3 of your posts have been about CCFC and the rest are about a particular thing.
You might want to have a word about your season ticket too, £25 a game?
As if I'm putting identifying information in my registration. I haven't even given you my real email address.
You have just posted publicly you are 30 in several days but have to use a false date of birth?
You mean the £25 my Mrs paid to come and watch lol. I would send a photo of me and her together but you guys would probably masturbate furiously over her.
If you don't believe me just boot me. No big deal mate.
Several days could mean on Wednesday, it could mean next year.
It could just mean you aren't really very consistent.
Passes the time, though.This is a bit wierd.
Perhaps.
I'm hank Marvin and going out for dinner. Catch you later if I'm still a member.
Who else has mentioned anybody being banned? You have twice now.
Bit weird.
Part of me agrees, but if it is our current owners who built any new stadium, it would be part of a financial plan to leech any 'profits' to them with a break even model for the playing side (i.e. any profits would not go back into the team). All under the old 'CCFC still owe us' from the initial investment/exorbitant interest rates/management fees etc. We are like that bloke who borrowed £100 for a night out and ended up owing £19,000. Never going to get out of it, unless white knight/rapid promotion (whereby 3rd party becomes interested)/Wasps fold!!
I think Wasps getting the ground was the wrong decision, but I'm not sure what you mean by "bad, if not worse than SISU".
Apart from them getting a ground at bargain basement prices, they've been pretty accommodating to CCFC, no? Whereas SISU have woefully under-invested and nearly asset-stripped the club, which culminated in moving them to Northampton and consistently lying about the stadium situation.
So no, I don't think they're as bad as SISU. I think the CCC were equally complicit.
No, do you?Do you have a head injury, mate? :banghead:
This thread would have benefitted from SBK's input.
We've been through this a zillion times in the past, but that's how football is nowadays. It's not a SISU "thing". New stadiums are very rarely owned by the club but by the owners of the club. Long term having our own stadium is the only way we'll be able to compete at a higher level.
Thank you. An actual response.
My point is though, why would SISU invest more into the purchase of land and the construction of a stadium. I'm not even going to try to guess the total estimate cost, but it must be in the millions.
It just doesn't make sense, especially when their whole MO up to now appears to be the Ricoh with the constant legal disputes and court cases - this is why I believe that when the next one loses, they'll sell up as they have no hope in hell in recouperating their existing investment. The liquidation I'm hoping doesn't happen, and I don't think it will mean the end of CCFC, but they clearly don't care one jot about the club, city or fans.
I'm more surprised Italia hasn't been sniffing around...
What happened in the end?It might be 6 months old, but still a good read! I got a book out of the library the other day. It was called "Oliver Twist" by some bloke called Charles Dickens. Turns out it was written in 1838. But I still enjoyed it!
What happened in the end?
Owning the Ricoh would have made a huge difference 10 or 15 years ago, and I dearly wanted and expected it, but CCFC blew that opportunity. Now 80% or 90% of income for Premier League clubs is broadcast money, with income from other sources becoming merely nice to have:
Premier League: 11 of 20 clubs could have made profits in 2016-17 without fans at games
If people think we’d have more “identity” by building another stadium, that’s a different argument – but it would have to be pretty special and atmospheric to worth the bother, surely? In financial terms, stadium ownership (the Ricoh or anywhere else) is no longer the key to getting back to the top. Given the huge gulf in income (even with clubs in the Championship on parachute payments) the only way to do it would be through a mega-wealthy investor. Barring that, we will permanently be a biggish club in a smaller pond, and the years have taken their toll on my ambition so I’m beginning to actually be fairly comfortable with that. I can’t really believe I’ve said that, but the top flight is such a long time ago now I’ve learned to see it as almost a different sport, and an obscenely overpaid sport at that. Are we having any less fun than (say) Fulham or even Leicester fans, who must be pretty disappointed with dropping back among the also-rans in a league that’s totally dominated by half a dozen massive clubs, with everyone else in an annual battle first and foremost to simply preserve their status?
Haven't finished it yet, but I think there's a twist in it!What happened in the end?
Dont tell me and spoil it mind you i probably wont read it because that Lester bloke was in it once and I dont like lesturdHaven't finished it yet, but I think there's a twist in it!
