First League weekend for the Birmingham Cross Country League yesterday. Probably the top competitive cross country league in the country. Division 1 were at Crewe and a bumper turnout with Cov Godiva having 31 runners. A good showing saw us 5th.... 1st Birmingham Uni, 2nd Loughboro Uni, 3rd...

Someone like Wasps then?

15 years ago we were a club massively on the slide. Was inevitable we'd end up in League One at some point. Yes League Two was unacceptable really.... But whilst we haven't progressed anywhere in terms of league position, the ship has been turned around and we are now a club looking up rather...

For what its worth i have no issue with us selling a "star".... But let's wait and see the reaction on here if O'Hare or Gyokores disappear in January.... i'll eat my hat if its met with general acceptance.

If you think this place wasn't absolutely apoplectic at the thought of O'Hare going to Burnley, particularly after the "bigger club" comments, you're trying to re-write history. And if you think people will be behind a potential sale of Gyokeres in January you're equally in dreamland...

They can't win though... People were going mental on here at the very prospect of O'Hare or Gyokores leaving. Then when we had the difficulties at the start of the season with the pitch/stadium, it was all their fault for not offloading a player for £6-10m

I'd personally think it would be better off in the City Centre than at the Ricoh. Who knows how long the Ricoh may (or may not) be a part of CCFC.

Well, this is the issue. If someone like Mike Ashley wants the Ricoh, yet still doesn't want the club, then its highly unlikely that we are an appealing asset to anyone.

This.... Whatever the outcome of the coming days/weeks, the indignation of being stuck with Wasps looks to be over, so its a massive positive for me.

No they are still based in Cov. Although like nearly all local papers they are part of a much larger "group", which (imo) contributes heavily to all their issues as a media outlet.

I still remember the day this was announced (along with Russia hosting the previous one). Absolute joke. No interest whatsoever.

Edit on my above post: i don't think the Cov Half Marathon is on this weekend. I think the date i saw has been cancelled or updated.

Busy weekend coming up in the area. Saturday is the British Masters Cross-Country Relays at Long Eaton, which usually has a decent showing from the local clubs. Sunday i think is the Cov Half Marathon. Sunday afternoon also has the Warwick University Cross Country Relays, which is a more...

Our current team without Gyokores is clearly low on goalscoring and creating capability. If the re-introduction of O'Hare and Hamer leads to us creating more for the likes of Godden/Waghorn, then we could possibly stand to lose Gyokores and continue to climb the table. Big "if" though....

U wot?

The speculation ends and the interesting stuff starts now........ Is there a buyer waiting in the wings for Wasps and/or ground and/or CCFC.

Thank you. I was just seeing if there was any angle from the council point of view that they helped bail out CCFC/the construction of the ground. Seems not.

When the council "stepped in" with assistance in the construction of the Ricoh Arena.... are they still owed money from that? I assume that is the "debt" which is saddled over the arena.... is that still owed to council, or is it somewhere else (bondholders?)

I remember before the Ricoh area was proposed, the original plans/speculation/hype was for a huge new national stadium at J2/M69 junction, to be shared with Leicester City... 90,000 capacity was thrown around in the media :D

this "Rugby Family" is so hypocritical it defies belief... Wasps were quick enough to help pull up the drawbridge on the rest of the rugby pyramid and close the Premiership off.
