The club has to return. This is an unsustainable position and is just a farce

We as fans have been let down by so many people - I just can’t understand how it’s remotely logical to want to stay in Birmingham
Under what circumstances though ?

Fook off why go back and prop excuse the pun these cants up so they stay longer!
Everyone give your head a wobble these parasites need us to keep alive and all the let’s play at Coventry brigade need to think a little further down the line.
Not one person I’ve met at St Andrews wants to go back whilst the London Wasps are there.
Easy to give out listen in to Clive and Oggy from the sofa.

The only logic is that wasps week by week are getting nearer to relagation and oblivion.
As I’ve said Boddy has said today to a good friend of mine ‘not this season’. He shown him this thread approx 6pm and Boddy read it and said not this season.

You say why go back? We had 6k there today. We would have had at least double that at the Ricoh. We need to play in our own city. There is no guarantee that Wasps will implode any time soon. To stay in Birmingham hoping that this will happen is playing a dangerous game. Wasps seem to be struggling, but could carry on for years yet. We need to be back in Coventry ASAP.

The problem ISB is the indemnity clause which leaves us wide open if SISU's legals pay off. I think only once they run their course can a deal be reached.

Ultimately we can’t stay in Birmingham indefinitely - but if SISU are willing to cover the losses I’m more than happy to stay in Birmingham until they go tits up - it’s inevitable
Not having a dig at all, but this is exactly where we are as a club.

The last move away lost part of our identity and this one has gone with not a single protest and people either not bothered about going or would rather play away and get results than play in Coventry.

Your post was both the reality and depressing, completely understand it though
the fact it has happened without a protest speaks volumes. Would you protest when half of the fans ended up at Birmingham.

strangely enough this may have a positive impact because it is a sign that fans don’t like the piss taken out of them.. To take the club out twice is not worth fighting for because you just know it is likely to happen again. Then you stop supporting the sky blues. Because the message comes through that the club has no respect for the fans.

I don't think you should be allowed to change your venue in the middle of a season.
The football league has arranged our fixtures around Birningham's to avoid a conflict.

Controversially I think I would like to see the season out where we are. Our 'home' form is what is making our season. Currently in 5th and only 2 points of the autos. The pitch seems to suit us, so I think let's keep our heads down and focus on the football. The Ricoh doesn't feel like home and is now a rugby stadium where football could be played.
What about the financial implications of playing in Birmingham?

I think this shows how badly disillusioned our fan base is now. People actually wanting to stay/travel to Birmingham for the pitch instead of playing in Coventry is laughable. I heard Leicesters pitch is better than Brums, lets beg them to play at the KP next year ey??

There must have been 6000 selfish fuckers at the match today. Compared to what - 4000 selfish fuckers who won’t go to St. Andrews and winge.
No the selfish fuckers are the ones who'd rather stay at someone else's ground out of our city so don't start bullshitting about what I said. Anyone that wants to stay there needs to give their head a wobble. 4000 selfish fuckers that are staying away? And the rest. I don't hear any whinging,what will happen is people will just lose interest and drift away. 2 groundshares is a disgrace. They'd of been at least 12k at the ricoh for yesterday's game.
What about if wasps don't go pop? How long do we exile ourselves for? 5 years? The club wont last that long. If theres no promotion this season then watch the attendances dwindle even further next season. It's simply not sustainable,but yes let's carry on playing out of Coventry as the pitch is better as are the pubs ffs.
