I liked the Ricoh when we moved there but now with all that Wasps shit around it I can't stand it.
I think many look back at HR and think back more to the football than the place, I always thought it was a dump (but it was our dump) the atmosphere was sometimes terrible, I may be wrong but I am sure there were games when we played the big teams that they switched the standing areas round as we had so few fans.
pusbccfc;88004. That game against Gillingham at the Ricoh was up there with the best atmospheres I have experienced. It's just incredible dull when it is empty. .[/QUOTE said:Finally I've found a benefit of being older!!

If we moved back to high field road hypothetically then people would moan soon enough. That's life, we've only been back at the Ricoh 7 months and already people hate it.
Selective memories.
Many people used to moan about HR and the poor atmosphere and restricted views etc.
Exactly. The Ricoh was built for progression and it is a fine stadium that we should be proud of more so if ccfc owned it admittedly but it is great for the city I live in.
No one on here likes the facts wasps own ACL but that's the case and we have to work for a solution not moan about how crap the Ricoh is.
To say I want to go back to HR is just a reaction to how we've been treated as fans which is nothing short of horrendous. The Ricoh was the right move at the wrong time now let's use it to our Advantage and on a full house the place is rocking.

Rumours on facefook today, that Wasps are changing the seats during the summer..
1.) Can they?
2.) Can they afford too?
3.) Didn't they already say they weren't interest in changing seats?

You do know that not everything on Facebook is not true don't you ?
Now if it was on Twitter I would believe it :facepalm:
Read what i put again!! It said Rumour!! :facepalm:

Yes, they said they weren't going to change the seats. But since then Tim fisher came out and said we have absolutely no intention of staying whatsoever, so if they can afford to do it, it would be daft of Wasps NOT to change the seats.
I think they will not bother while CCFC might remain their.
Just wish TF would start to work with them rather than play games saying we are moving out.
The longer he does this the more they will believe him and the more they will customise the stadium for themselves.
I think the seats are a step too far at the moment.
I could see a re positioning of some of the black seats to spell Wasps but again I think to remove all CCFC seat names would be a step too far.
So why did you deal with it as a fact ?

Seriously dude, go back to sleep, or learn to read.
By change the seats do you mean change the colour or rearrange them so it spells out Wasps at one end?
They can of course do what they want but I wouldn't have thought it made much sense financially to replace all the seats just so they are a different colour.
Would pay zero attention to them saying it won't happen, it will happen at some point, just a matter of when it makes sense for them to do it.

I know it's de rigueur to slag off HR and claim the Ricoh as some kind of Utopian dream but hold on a mo. Personally, out of the two grounds there has been more excitement and atmosphere at "our" old ground than "their" new one. You also said it was a dump. Again, not strictly true. It had certainly seen better days but the building of the new East Stand was an indication of what might have been if we'd stayed there. It's a shame that Richardson hadn't had the foresight to cost replacing the old stands and filling in the corners rather than moving to the Ricoh; an insipid and uninspiring place. Even more so now.
Each to their own of course, but give me HR any day.
Loved the place. My eldest two both say that their best ever game was against WBA on the day of the tsunami. They were with me behind the goal and went as mental as anyone else when we got the winner right at the end. The atmosphere was electric. They ended up joining in with every song. Not bad considering that they both support other clubs. And the eldest is used to seeing the Glasgow derbies of old.
I didn't care about the stinking toilets or the poor refreshments. Restrictive views? Rarely a game where you couldn't move to a good spot. The location was good. It was a proper ground. Yes when it was bad it WAS bad. But when it was good it was a great place to be. Lots of fond memories I will never forget.
