Def an announcement coming, either

extending the Ricoh deal ( not exactly news but they will be soon)
naming a site ( it's not the butts )
wasps are buying the land by the Higgs,

No I made a typo and put the Barkers in front of the Butts (out of habit) Which you pointed it out and asked if I have ever been there.
I have played rugby for Barkers Butts so yes I have played at their field and bern in the club house.
I have also been to Bakers Butts Lane and Coundon Road Stadium just after Barkers Butts Lane.

Wasn't the Coundon Road Stadium on Barker's Butts Lane? Unless you are quite old and went before 1921. (Genuine Question as it is before my time and I only remember the Coundon Road Stadium that was on Barker's Butts Lane by the bridge / tunnel). Or did the road name change?

I guess Wiki has confused him.

That's the one Baker Butts Lane that becomes Coundon Road

Who would you prefer me to answer you or Sickboy.

It was also the location of my dentist
Is that on Wiki as well?

I asked the question not Sick Boy - nice diversion though.

You need to talk to the right people?

All I can say is one in one out and one long term.

That's even more cryptic than before...are we talking transfers now and not stadium plans?

As I'm not in or around Coventry, this forum is basically my only port for news and rumours.

Was one of them Mr Ivor Madeitup?

Damn you are too quick for me. You are right as always I made it up that my dentist was in Baker Butts lane/Coundon Road.

Are you over the shock that our budget is somewhere around 6th to 8th in the league yet?

Been sworn to secretary, and then again if it is bullshit will stop me being called the usual things.
If it is all true my clue will be obvious.

Hopefully:
Armstrong in for the season
Fisher out for good
Long term Ricoh deal including f&b sales

Tim Fisher is leaving, someone is replacing him and news regarding the new stadium or Ricoh extension is my guess.

I don't think it is this but I would love the announcement to be a 20 year rental agreement with Wasps that also incorporates a step by step purchase of 50% of ACL.
