Firstly, can I just say I am firmly in the "I want to stay at the Ricoh camp".
I never wanted to leave HR, I grew up there and I loved it, however what's done is done and we can of course never go back to that.
Secondly, I happen to agree with a number of others that there is a poor atmosphere at the Ricoh and would love to see the back ten rows blocked off on three sides of the ground in order to compact the ground and improve the atmosphere.
No doubt there are a number of other improvements that can be made........BUT.
If we are stuck with Sisu please can they reveal some proper details to the long suffering fans who just want to know where they stand. It's shocking communication skills on their part to still be hiding behind commercial confidentiality concerns for not informing us what the hell the state of play is now after waiting so long.
If we are to build our own ground (I don't believe we will) then give us something to work with, give us something that the fans can assist with, just engage with us instead of telling us you are listening to us, learning the lessons of the past but not displaying any evidence of that other than the old traits of total silence or trot out your current party line.
Also if you are going to build the stadium what is now stopping you working with CCC and building inside the confines of the city boundary?
Maybe someone with the nous, know how or contacts could start a new campaign to get some proper answers from the club.
I know the Cov Telegraph gets stick on a number of levels, sometimes rightly sometimes wrongly, but they have just won the Campaign of the Year award for the Bring City Home campaign, maybe they can really kickstart some proper pressure on the club to give us some concrete/proper details. Simon Gilbert over to you or anyone else out there!!
