    I think it was documented somewhere the rent was less than 10% of the club's outgoings.

    Whilst I can see your point here Dave and in general agree with the premise that sale should have been more open, I have a slight issue with what you've said about the other parties that might be interested. Whilst I appreciate that we were back at the Ricoh by the time the deal was signed, if...

    I don't think it's OK at all. Don't want Wasps here and won't ever be going a game they play in. The fact they are here is because the football club, for whom the stadium was built, said they didn't want the Ricoh any more. Now, we all know now the mythical stadium won't be built, but at that...

    I guess by 'all planned out', you're talking about the Gidney email, or is it something else?

    No, I don't believe that. If you recall, we'd already been playing outside of Coventry.

    My personal view is that the "groundwork", as you call it, was Joy and co. being wheeled out in front of the media. Why would she stick her head above the parapet otherwise? The EU complaint being submitted and the subterfuge around it even existing shows for me, that there was a plan and a set...

    Written proof. Yes, Webber Shandwick or whatever they were called. It's also fair to assume that the statements and interviews in a short space of time from Scope, Robins, Richardson and Seppala, plus the release of the redacted emails were designed to paint a picture just around the time the EU...

    A comma would have probably helped in your sentence. I'm entitled to my opinion of the situation we find ourselves in and if you believe that there's still a coordinated campaign by the Council to spin this and get people on their 'side' by tweeting from random accounts, that's up to you. As...

    I read this quote differently Nick. Read another way, it looks like you're saying I work for them. As I've explained, I don't. Grendel and I had a very cordial discussion on this privately and I believe he's come to realise the assertion I'm 'falling for something' is incorrect. I actually...

    As others on here know my full name and have checked my LinkedIn profile, they'll know I don't work for the council. I left the Council's IT department in 1995 or so when it was outsourced. Never had anything to do them since. It is tiresome Nick keeps repeating this and thank you for calling it...

    Yes, but I don't believe they have any power to do anything, much less influence the powers that be. Let's say the survey was wide ranging and a large proportion of respondents favoured action against Wasps. Do you really think it would change Wasps' stance?

    I've never said they don't count Nick. I've only ever said that Grendel's assertion this site was the largest online community of fans is incorrect. For what's it's worth, I don't think any survey of fans has any great merit, unless there are parties able or willing to act on its results. I...

    You'll notice I said active users and not posters. Also, the person I was quoting is a site moderator

    Seems a bit of a stretch. Mark said there are around 1,000 active users. Are they all in there?

    Well if you're truly interested in getting the opinions of a representative sample of CCFC fans, maybe you should join from one of your 7 FB accounts?

    So how many people are represented in Grendel's pdf document? Is this considered representative of SBT?
