Glad he/she/they has/have gone.

Hate to break this to you......

Has anyone ever told you what an amusing chap you are?

Thought not......

The points you make may be correct, they may not be.
I genuinely don't know and can't influence it




But what do you hope to achieve by posting stuff like this?


Are you hoping that we all say "oh my god, he's right, let's all stop being Wasps fans" ?


Are you trying to emotionally distress some fans?


Or do you just want to be able to say "I told you so" when/if it all comes tumbling down?

I remember leaving Loftus Road with my father after the first home game of the 1999/2000 season, about a week before the start of the Rugby World Cup. A kid who lived nearby shouted out "I wouldn't go to a Rugby match if you gave me a free ticket". My Dad responded "Well that's it then. All Rugby will be cancelled, including the World Cup and the sport will never be played again"

"Really?"

"No. And nobody's going to offer you a free ticket either"

I don't agree with removing Magnu Horse's main post (although the subsequent ones & the various replies are no loss.)
Some of what he said are the genuine feelings off some CCFC supporters, there were probably even some truths in there too. I don't think we do ourselves any favours pretending those views aren't out there & censoring posts.
Granted they we not put very eloquently!

However its not my site so its VV's prerogative.

VV, that was indeed a good post, however I don’t think there was any inkling of further legal action from CCFC leading up to the bond redemption date.

Some of your recollections about rent levels sound familiar. Sisu undoubtedly handled thing both badly and wrongly from the start.

If a company (and stress the if) end up financially penalised because another company has not abided by a contract, is it that unreasonable to pursue some recompense - and none of us know whether that will happen - we are working on a balance of probabilities given some history. I was very angry about the pitch situation and will only see two home games by the end of September and I do think Wasps handled it very badly.
If a contract obligation has been broken there will be stipulated remedies and these may or may not be financial.

In this case I would expect any commercial director and lawyer worth their salt to have limited those remedies to at most direct out of pocket expenses and for ccfc to have had an obligation to mitigate any losses as soon as they were notified.

But as we have no idea what's in the contract this is only idle speculation while we wait for the season to start and as I've said, I trust Wasps' commercial team to be all over these sorts of issues given the history.

Do ourselves any favours with who? Happy to debate with anyone but not particularly worried if we alienate someone who’s that obsessed that they set up 2-3 user names a day just to antagonise.

I don't mind old Grendel's music taste.  Better after Fish though.

If someone posts here simply to try and upset people and get a rise they and their posts will be removed.

I realise some people will disagree, but I'm not going to let this become another drunken wasps where insults and arguing are standard.

If people want to debate and are willing to do so in a polite and respectful.way they are welcome.

Hence me not having also banned Sam.

Thanks VV.   I wouldn't quibble with any of that.

Back on thread, looks like some hope for Worcs with a consortium led by a former chief exec putting a bid together.
