You might be right, but to build the club's next 5 year plan on that possibility would be dangerous.
That much I do agree.
Personally, as you say, we are where we are. Personally I find it astonishing that because it's SISU fabricating a stadium story, we then ignore some basic tenets, that a football club should play in its own ground in its own city.
Forget the economics, this is the essence of what football *is* to a degree. Forget, too, who owns said ground for a moment (i.e. a fans' collective or benevolant council owned ground ultimately could work), but we seem to get so tied up in anti-SISU that in effect we end up saying we don't want this.
So yes, we need to look after ourselves. Pragmatically that needs an extended deal at the Ricoh (no ground will appear in the one we have even if land bought tomorrow) and that deal needs doing fast, while Wasps are obligated to pay lip service to looking after the club, and before, for that matter, the club bogs off somewhere else itself!
And then, we really need to start pointing out that as fans, who hold a certain weight in the city's identity and visibility outside of the city, it would be nice if we and the club could re-embed ourselves in the city, with our own ground and our own pride in ourselves. Forget SISU, at some point they'll be gone but *a* CCFC in whatever form will be about (even if rising from the ashes). If we end up either pushing them to build a ground in some crazy place or hooking up with some cuckoos long-term in a ground that isn't theirs, then we condemn ourselves to being eclipsed.
But that's the mandate we're giving at the moment, partly because of a tendancy (not entirely without justification tbf) to look back.
