Why did they make the disastrous decision to move us to Sixfields against our fans wishes?
A: Apparently because the original Ricoh deal was unsustainable. Also, because they don't care about the fans wishes. This, of course, is precisely the same as Wasps' owners - I look forward to PSB joining me in condemning them too, no?
How have a rugby club managed to buy the Ricoh ?
A: Easy one. Because the Council sold it to them.
How come SISU never once put in a proper offer to ACL in 7 whole years to buy the Ricoh Arena?
A: This is just lazy. They actually put in two offers - one before the JR, and one when Higgs were obliged legally to offer them the opportunity. Whether they were likely or sincere offers or not is a matter of debate. However the council never offered them the same deal as Wasps, as we know - they just wanted to build trust before talking about ownership.
Why are we struggling down the bottom of League one?
A: Poor players, owners who don't want to throw much money at the team, little access to revenues beyond ticket sales (which are poor).
Where the hell is this new ground deal we keep hearing about ?
A: Who the hell knows - somewhere around Rugby, allegedly.
Why are local councils saying they have never spoken to Tim Fisher about a new ground or land deal?
A: Because they haven't. Except those who have apparently just have.
Who's telling the truth here Tim Fisher or the local authorities?
A: Well, it's possible that they were both telling the truth, at least in the last week or two. Someone else here who doesn't understand FOI, clearly.
Blimey - that was easy. Wouldn't a better question be, how are the club going to be able to afford a new stadium? Alongside that I'd ask, what can Wasps actually offer us to make that requirement redundant. (That last one would need to go to Wasps though).
