After this latest big-crowd fuck up, they might as well do 1 train per hour.

Where we under perform in every home game with a big crowd.

They will probably name it after a Wasps legend Who is local like that Good bloke.
Would be be nice if they asked the locals to name it in a poll in The Wasps telegraph, the John Sillett stop

Is that the chap who's childhood dream was to play at the Ricoh despite it not existing when he was a child who then announced he was leaving Wasps?

That's the one.
Although what if the change the name from an Arena to a Bowl?
I personally think it is too well known as Arena (Arena Park Tesco) etc to change it from that.

Could call it FA stop that way we could change it to suit

Yes, the chap who is COV born and bred, and a Sky Blues fan, and was genuinely thrillled to be playing at the Ricoh, why the negatives ?

The fact he was playing for a London team? I thought you would have known that?

Why name it after the club? There are plenty of other businesses on the site!
It will be arena park or something like that anyway.

I was in the Cubs with Goode - leave him alone. Too right he is cov born and bred - and we should be proud of him. I remember playing footy with him up at the memorial park.

Great news, we wouldn't want those Wasps fans to have anything less than the best would we?

What?
We are going to be here for at least 5 more years I would have thought. Are you saying City fans will not be using the station?
No need to turn this into an anti-Wasps thread surely?

Excellent...what's the station going to be called? (Uh oh...maybe shouldn't have asked that)!!!
Otis

Obviously The Stinging Insect Station.
After all, ONLY Wasps fans will be using it. No City fans are allowed and neither are Coventry shoppers either.

Coventry Arena.

I thought that the upcoming season was our final one? The 2 year extension is down to ACL, not us. I don't agree with the notion that Wasps will bend up for us if we ask nicely.
It's not anti-Wasps at all; is now anti-Wasps if we even dare to mention them?
That's exactly what you will be able to do, it will cut out your taxi fare !

The notion is "if you don't ask you don't get" not "if you ask you will get". I don't know why you keep trying to spin it the way you are. All people have said is they want the club to ask for certain thing's of Wasps. Nothing wrong in that surely?

I have a vision that Sisu have their arse in their hands and are just not asking for things and letting fans assume that ACL/Wasps are saying no.
If it's any different I'd love to see the evidence.

So what do you think will happen if this upcoming season is our final one? Surely you don't believe that do you?
Where are we going to move to? Northampton again?
Our short term future is at the Ricoh and has to be at the Ricoh.

The club has little say in the matter unfortunately.

Of course they have a say. Now is time to start negotiations. If SISU are serious about building anew we need a longer deal at the Ricoh, if they're not serious about building anew we need a longer deal at the Ricoh.
Perhaps you think we'll be in a stronger position to negotiate when the 2years or the further 2years are up but I don't.

The 2 year break clause, which is at the end of the forthcoming season, is in Wasps favour so there's no guarantee we will be at the Ricoh after that.
We won't be going anywhere. We have nowhere to go to. Wasps have done a lot of PR to establish themselves in Cov. Throwing CCFC out would negate that in one hit. There would be uproar - even from the Council. There should be discussions going on now to at least have options for the next 10 years. It is in Wasps interest as much as CCFC's to be able to plan in advance. I wouldn't be relying on a stadium being built in the short term.
