5-10 years in Birmingham are you genuinely serious I nearly just spat out my tea. Delusional.
No chance I would be falling for that I’ve always said 5-10 years in Brum is my guess,I’ve not even opened that link totally pointless
Thanks for proving my point.No chance I would be falling for that I’ve always said 5-10 years in Brum is my guess,I’ve not even opened that link totally pointless
Was my original guess at start of season mate still can’t see us coming back anytime soon,would love to be wrong though5-10 years in Birmingham are you genuinely serious I nearly just spat out my tea. Delusional.
Tbh I haven’t even read the thread properly I thought you meant I would fall for their story on us coming back sooner rather than laterThanks for proving my point.
No just for generally falling for any old shite.Tbh I haven’t even read the thread properly I thought you meant I would fall for their story on us coming back sooner rather than later

Well my point of always saying it would be long term rather than short doesn’t seem to fit with falling for any old shite in this thread does itNo just for generally falling for any old shite.
If Turner had directly quoted Fisher, for example "we are in negotiations" then that would be reason to get mildly excited.
Good old Telegraph. Can't give a simple report on the finances without putting in some bait. Surely they're getting enough clicks from the match coverage, we're top of the league FFS.
I’m not. It was about saving money or losing money. Not whether it meant we were playing away, these are all choices, not misleading anyone I hopeCome on Pete you know the complaint has nothing to do with us not being at the Ricoh as Eastwood and Boddy have both said it wasn't, please don't mislead people
But the tickets were dearer at the Ricoh as were Season tickets so it will be over 1.5 mil easy.We've probably lost 5-6k on average, so 22 x 6 x 10 = £1,320,000 over a season top end of that. I can’t imagine the rent was more than that at the Ricoh, though rents hardly the issue stopping us.
I genuinely don’t think anyone wanted to play outside of Coventry this seasonIt's in both clubs short-term interest to sort terms for CCFC to return to the Ricoh.
In the medium term SISU may calculate that keeping the club away may distress Wasps to the point they go bust.
Its a dangerous gamble!

As for the Rent no one is sure but at the supporters meeting it was believed to be over £500,000 plus the policing etc seems to be a lot more at Brum then we ever had at the Ricoh, we also have to pay for the road closers etc.
We do however get more pie money.
Apparently the RFU would not allow wasps to go bust and would bale them out, that is the consensus at Cov RFC games.It's in both clubs short-term interest to sort terms for CCFC to return to the Ricoh.

True. Depends if we get a better cut or distribution of paid vs free (fewer school tickets? Fewer OAPs making it over?) but generally the point holds.
Point is it’s costing us far more than it’s costing Wasps, which is shit because they’re the ones who need to budge and right now they have a lever to pull to get us to do what they want.
If we are getting 10k home fans by the end of the season looking at 12-13k in the Championship does that change I wonder?
Still doesn’t get us a home in Cov though. Until some land is bought anything will be a stop gap.

We don't need to be encouraging the trust to be telling Wasps to play hardball.
It isn't, just pointing out how people fall for the click bait as you clearly have.Why the chip on ya shoulder? Anything for some point scoring from you
We’ll cease to exist if we stayed in Birmingham for another 2 years
do tell how you come to that conclusion ?
I haven’t fell for it, I can’t stand the bs from the telegraph but it’s come from fisher not the telegraph....It isn't, just pointing out how people fall for the click bait as you clearly have.
Me tooBut the choice to make the complaint hasn't affected anything at all. Even if the complaint wasnt made its fairly obvious we still wouldn't be playing at the ricoh this season, that's what I ment in my tired typing
The extra income wasps would get from us playing in the championship is a game changer and so personally I fully expect us to be playing the villa at the Ricoh in the league next season
Nah we will in the prem by then and selling out every game...We’ll cease to exist if we stayed in Birmingham for another 2 years let alone 5-10
do tell how you come to that conclusion ?
Actually net of tax it seems to be £6.40
Lower than I thought, although its beyond debate that we'd have more through the gate at the Ricoh so would be better off. We just can't do it at any cost, it has to be sensible and sustainable (and have a better pitch!!).
Bloody hell we must have given away more free tickets than wasps.Actually net of tax it seems to be £6.40
It’s not really that hard to figure out is it? We’re paying potentially up to £1M worth of rent and our gates are down by over half. Anyone with a shred of common sense can figure out that’s not sustainable for the long term.
