Firstly despite my contempt for SISU I think they have been done over after provocation and therefore legal action could ensue at some point. Also someone owns Nuneaton stadium and that someone might well be calculating a few figures right now.

I maybe clutching at straws,but I'm hanging onto this.If the Wasp's fail to give us a deal,probably a temporary one,whilst the complaint is being looked into.How will the commission view this, because it seems to me they are concerned if a competitor has suffered as a result of favourable terms that wasn't available to the open market.If a temporary deal is done it could work in Wasp's favour.

Are there plans for the Ricoh pitch to become a hybrid? Not just the current mud/sand hybrid they have turned it into!

Of course they can't. Hence why they're doing their best to shift the blame.

It was a Hybrid apparently.

Apparently Eastwood has offered to meet the PSB group

Can't be seen as a good thing as if there are talks going on regarding the ricoh, aren't they meant to be confidential

There's always the ground in Hinckley, I know a handful of the directors there and they'd fall all over themselves to get 4000 City fans there every 2 weeks or so. Parking would be a nightmare though, pubs are a fair distance and I think they can only seat about 400/500.

Does Eastwood seriously think that PSB have any influence over SISU (or the European Commission)??

Hi Rob, where have you heard about blues being 100% off, what other options have you heard about?
Click to expand...
It came from on high and within the club, some time back when the options were being openly discussed and I was told categorically that was off the table completely. However after recent turns of events, I wouldn't stake heavily on it! I keep seeing it mentioned all the time on Twitter and I wonder where it has come from if there's genuinely no truth in it. Could be someone says it and then it snowballs I guess.

The commercial deal and the rental fee were simply unaffordable according to the individual I spoke to. I doubt there's any truth in it, even after the recent turn of events.

I think more is likely to come out.

The strange accounts on social media are working overtime and Gilbert is just piping up with something to try and push something. Seems people are desperate to try and drive home that Wasps are right to kick the club out.

Wonder why that is?

If he really is it’s to say “I’ve literally done everything to get you guys to stay, I’ve bent over backwards, that game in 87 I still remember every minute but Sisu are nasty wasty people”

Cue social media meltdown and a picture of Nicky next to Combover Joe wearing a silly sky blue hat in a Kenilworth pub

Is if the case that efl won’t just agree to a groundshare unless accompanied by a legitimate plan to be back in coventry in the short term. I fear Ricoh or no ccfc

Course it is, there's desperation in the air and surprisingly considering the circumstances it isn't coming from the club "side".

Gilbert randomly going off on one with stuff like this shows that:

I am pretty sure the EFL will do whatever, they aren't going to let wasps fuck about with CCFC aren't they? Imagine the EFL saying "It's the Ricoh or you are you are out of the league", even then some of our fans wouldn't realise the "legals" stuff is bullshit from Wasps, as it has been multiple times before but still fall for it.

Who is behind the PSB group? Hopefully they won't give him a round of applause and will make it uncomfortable for him. At least try and get some straight answers.

As I've been saying for 6 months the biggest supporters group should be publicly inviting all involved to an open meeting and those that don't comply should be subject to direct action.

Eastwood has been very clever here because he surely knows they are a vehemently anti-sisu group so he can tell them it is a confidential meeting and spin a web of bullshit that will be taken as fact. Doesn't look good.

Gilbert is again saying talks have stopped yet someone from the club contacted the PSB group to confirm talks were ongoing and Wasps allegedly briefed staff before their game that talks were ongoing.

If Wasps weren't aware of the complaint why was it referred to, albeit not by name, in a CCFC statement earlier last week as being an issue in talks. Also who leaked it to Gilbert? Can only be the council or Wasps. SISU or CCFC aren't going to. Are we supposed to believe the council knew but didn't tell Wasps?

His whole thread on twitter reads like a desperate defence of Wasps.

We have more than 7,000 members on this site. Does the Trust have more than that? If so I doubt it’s by many.

Stop waiting around and do it ourselves. We have the members, we have the communications platform. What’s stopping people?

Seems some want to blame others more than they want action TBF.

Same as Nick and his “ask them what the *real* reason is” mentalness on Twitter.

Come on, this is the age of citizen media. You don’t have to wait for the MSM and their lies. You could be the Tommy Robinson of CCFC. Bringing truth to the sheeple. What’s stopping you?

No. Seems like a standard explainer thread that you’ve have to be a bit mental to view as anything else.

But you do you.

You do whatever you are told and be a good lad.

OK, so what is the need for this "explainer thread" when it's all in articles posted about 3 days ago? You may as well just post a conspiracy GIF and show yourself up.

Exactly! I can't see either of them aimlessly falling for some shite that he puts out either. (I dont know who PSB Group is to know if they would or not but they back and forth between boycotting and not is a bit random)

It’s not great news if they are meeting anyone as there is supposed to be a confidentiality agreement while talks are in place and I haven’t a clue who PSB are either

Just seen it on their twitter feed. Met lots of people on Saturday (all posters on here) and I may have met someone from PSB but they didn’t introduce themselves as being from PSB so I too have no idea who’s behind them. I’m sure they’ll know or know someone who knows BHSB as he’s a prominent supporter of the club and a familiar face of all the protests so I hope they have the decency to at least take BHSB with them. Assuming that he wants to go of course.
