what happened a couple of years ago Nick ? …. I’m talking of football in general is more popular than rugby and always has been. Not specifically CCFC.

Surely you know all of this, the history etc?

Or maybe you are just in overdrive to try and play things down (like most other times).

im not playing anything down or in overdrive …… I was simply making reference to the popularity of football in England being far greater than Rugby ….. I get there is history but the post had nothing to do with that. You’ve quoted me out of context to have another dig …. Which as always seems to be your desire.

No. I am just referencing things that have been said and gone on previously.

If you don't know what's happened and the history etc then what are you trying to achieve by posting?

Usually this happens when something is due to come out.

As i said the post was about popularity of one sport against another F' all to do with history. Is it a pre-requisite to post on here to know absolutely every last detail about CCFC history ?

You really are paranoid about 'outsiders' or PR people coming on to 'your' forum and interrupting the echo's. I'm none the wiser about what's happening any more then you. The smart replies and animosity are unnecessary but if it makes you feel good then crack on.

Not paranoid at all, just pointing out what happens. It's factual.

I seem to remember a lot of "Wasps Fans" gloating about how popular they were compared to CCFC. Very much to do with history when you're a Wasps fan posting on a CCFC site.

You aren't interrupting anything as you have no clue what has gone on. It's a standard thing for "Wasps Fans" it seems.

What he's saying is correct. We've had no end of instances of Wasps supporters or pro Wasps 'city supporters' come on here spouting their bollocks and its usually a pre cursor to something fairly major happening.

The paranoid accusationhas been thrown at a lot of theories posted on here, many of which have came to fruition!

Fair enough .... but does everyone automatically assume its PR simply because a Wasps supporter posts in a forum about Wasps ? Surely you can tell the difference between PR and spin and someone who happens to look at life through a different lens. Perhaps my timing is unfortunate to what ever Gilbert is about to reveal but I can assure you I'm am nothing to do with PR or any big revelation coming.

Smart enough? I know what VPNs are.

Corporate, different thing entirely but again it depends what corporations you are logging into.

Of course you couldn't just acknowledge its Dubai because that wouldn't get the likes and kudos of your mates ...... if you were that smart you would know the difference between VPN use or not - but clearly not that smart.

The bondholder's forum has been a bit lively today.

Guess the one who cashed in his bonds just before the maturity date is sleeping a lot more comfortably than others.

They did put on a bunch of trains coming to and throw from the Arena for their supporters after it was mentioned in a press conference, I believe. Makes me smile thinking what the cost of that would be, to this day.

Just out of curiosity, who pays for the rough guess of £25M to bring the stadium back up to standard?
