So brum next season. Although not ideal I’m sure the club will come through a year away
My concern is the medium/long term. I can’t see the European review being over quickly and therefore the chances of returning to the Ricoh slim in that period.
How long can we remain nomads and sustain both our fan base and build a team competitive enough to maintain a promotion push. Will Robins stay, will sisu support manager and team, and will fan interest drop off dramatically? Although relations with the council are dreadful sisu must turn words of a new stadium into reality (even if just outside city boundary) and do this soon.
The only crumb of comfort is that our not paying wasps will pile more pressure on their finances and so hopefully they will fold or retreat with oval balls back to London.

Chance for the trust to redeem themselves. Start campaigning for people to go in numbers, arrange transport to make sure the kids an old boys can get over there.
And make it clear that there will be protests at every single Wasps game. Frankly the time for all this 'don't upset them' bollocks has passed. Couldn't care less how much disruption there is to their games now. They've shown they don't give a shit about us, why should we be concerned about them.
Well technically they just found it didn’t constitute state aid. It’s hard to argue it wasn’t undersold.

I tell you what, Wasps can stick it. I hope that rotten club goes bust as soon as possible.
I hope people realise these are different circumstances to last time. Whatever you think of SISU and all the crap they've done over the years, our club needs our support more than ever now. Trouble is I don't think people will think like that.
This is a dark time for our club.

That’s my main problem with this. Last time it was always “when” not “if” we would be back.
This time. There is no end in sight. How long would we have to play in St. Andrews before even the 5k who will likely attend stop going
Somebody like them needs to organise buying that billboard on the roundabout with a protest poster.

Just a one year deal at St. Andrews.
That just causes more uncertainty.
If it is true that Wasps want any costs covered, we aren't returning to the Ricoh anytime soon and therefore we need to be covering ourselves for at least the next three years.
What a pile of crap all round.
Sisu should have dropped the legal action, but the council should have protected and helped the club and Wasps shouldn't have been such total twats.

Well there were 3 of us all season ticket holders for years, reaction of my 2 mates “ I’m not traipsing to Brum, just because Sisu never brought the lease when they could have”

What was it that Ann Lucas said in 2014 after the Wasps sale?
“This deal would not have happened if it threatened the future of the Sky Blues"

And instead of People actually realising ccfc have lost 2 season ticket holders the comments about this will be debating if their opinion on Sisu is correct

Just think that this will ultimately hurt Wasps more than CCFC. They are the outsiders and whilst their initial PR in the city was effective I think that this will prove to be a disaster for them.

I personally will be attending the games as i think most fans should. Just to support this exciting group of young players that deserve our following.

From the Club's statement:
"What the landlord requested of CCFC’s owners and ultimately, the Club, was simply not deliverable. It can be argued that the landlord was fully aware of this."
CUNTS!
Fuckin Play Up, Sky Blues!

To be fair to the club in the circumstances the statement is about as well written as it could possibly be.

No doubt in my mind, I'm going to St Andrews.
F*** Wasps, the Council and any individual that attempts to deflect them of any blame.
