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.

They discussed this on TalkSport this evening.... Darren Bent was saying that he lives near the Ricoh and it was a "massive loss" to Coventry and the community. They did have a rugby expert on who vaguely pointed out some animosity from the football club. But it was about as in-depth a...

Been waiting for this day for 8 years so very pleased. If Wasps are already forfeiting games then i don't see how they can reasonably expect not to get relegated. Hopefully it signals the end of Wasps Rugby in Coventry, but i guess that is dependent on what format the "administration" takes...

Personally i have no desire to co-exist with Wasps under any kind of joint-ownership. Prefer the current situation imo. Would rather Wasps gone as a number one priority.

Yesterday was the National Road Relays in Sutton Coldfield. Eagle-eyed viewers of the Commonwealth Games may recognise the venue, as it hosted the run section of the Triathlon earlier this year, but more well-known in running circles as the long-time host venue for the National Relays. Unlike...

I tend to agree with this, anywhere from 16-19th. Highly doubt we'll go down.

That referee wouldn't have had the initials C.W would he...?!?

Think we just about deserved that. Just needed to win, but it was two teams devoid of confidence.

A serious one from me..... I've said similar before somewhere on this forum, but the whole ethos of punishing fouls/cheating is totally arse-about-face and needs turning on its head... Professional fouls should be a straight red card, and by "professional" i mean any player deliberately...

I'd say its more likely the latter. Everybody has got their own opinions, but my view is all this gait-analysis is a bit of a waste (i await a flurry of posts in disagreement)

Club night at Godiva last night. Our group sees a shift in training now, moving away from the track-biased short reps, and winter training begins in earnest, building up the endurance for the tough cross-country season. Last night was a 25 minute continuous effort up and down the shallow hill...

It was the Midland Road Relays yesterday at Sutton Park. Always a big event... Womens: Nuneaton Harriers 13th Leamington 15th Kenilworth 30th Sphinx 41st Masseys 43rd Northbrook 48th Mens: Coventry Godiva 7th Leamington 15th Nuneaton 28th Kenilworth 39th Sphinx 57th Masseys 61st Northbrook...

As i mentioned above, from seeing the pictures/videos i saw, it isn't far off. Still awful though.

I was in action in the Black Mountains/Brecon Beacons yesterday, for the final race in this year's British Fell Champs. 30th (15th v40). Likely to be the highest i ever finish in a major champs race... i benefitted from knowing the course very well from previous years, and a lower turnout than...

To be honest... i saw a clip on facebook showing both the side stands, and my amateur opinion was 6-8000, but it was a very quick video. I could be wrong, It was considerably emptier than we were getting in League 2, what was that, about 10000...?
