I meant the spite was understandable not the decision.
Be be honest I don't think it was Fisher's words that made the gate drop so dramatically. I just think people wanted to be at that first game back.
Still don't think selling to Wasps was "understandable".

@ Ashdown....Thank you for affirming(In your post #101) my post from a couple of days ago, which was sarcastically replied too and basically called me a liar.
A journalist with an interest in the case would presumably be able to do much, much better.
How about you "Basically" check it out for yourself. I'm sure a clever man such as yourself can do that..Can't he?
I can think of two journalists ... well, one journalist and one reporter ... who has interests in the case, but actually I believe a journalist with no prior knowledge would be able to do much, much better.
I'm surprised that the CT would post something as blatantly one-sided.

Really???
I see your point with Simon Gilbert but David Conn is pretty independent, he certainly has no affiliation to CCC, CCFC or SISU so probably about as balanced a journalist as you could get on our situation.
Yet as far as I'm aware he's never actually interviewed any of the parties involved himself

Think he got some quotes from Fisher I think In his last piece on us
Around how the deal Wasps did Is unviable and why CCFC couldn't do It IIRC
Why did the Council sell to Wasps?
That's an easy one. Wasps were the only potential purchasers around. Remember those famous Timmie words "we are not interested in purchasing the Ricoh, we have every intention of building our own arena in the Coventry area." Given that, what would any sane person do? (or in this case, group of individuals, namely the ENTIRE COUNCIL, no matter what their political persuasion.) I read with a bit of a chuckle the anti-Council people on this forum......no need to name them as everyone knows who they are.....but it gives me a buzz when I read their viewpoints. And I say that as someone really far removed (3,500 miles ) from the politicking. I must miss the British humour. Ah well, I guess everyone is allowed their opinions, and free to air them, aren't they?

Apparently only 9% of ACL income was football related, which, ( particularly when you take off any associated costs with the club being there) meant there was absolutely no need to be in a rush to sell ACL on the cheap.
Unless Wasps set a deadline ?
Can't upset the wasps now can we

Not if you want someone in the stadium. Sisu were not interested as TF confirmed later.
We were already in the stadium apparently in the process of "rebuilding relationships"
TF speaks the truth, when it suits
What would wasps have done anyway? Move up the M6 and buy villa park? Or perhaps old Trafford under a rental deal, hoping to get access to " incremental revenues"

Were they not 2nd hand quotes?
Surely a balanced journalist would interview more than one party?
Remember ACL saying once we'd come back that they were going to "rebuild trust" before discussing ownership. They were already talking to Wasps at this point so not sure why they chose to say that.
EDIT: Just seen Godiva's post./

Surely a 'balanced' poster would criticise both sides..............
Of course they could have turned it down - using capitals doesn't really create any substance to the argument.
Which is a shame, as if he put his mind to it he could uncover a lot.
