    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Perhaps CCC. But other teams have played home games here before without such a need. It isn't about ownership of the stadium though its ownership of the management company. The taxpayer through CCC will still own the Ricoh. CC4L - I don't want Wasps here any more than you, I am just explaining...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Explain why ACL has " to show respect for SP, the team and fans, and start the slow process of building a successful future for ccfc which will benefit acl and sisu." . Other than a day rent supplier/ client relationship contract with CCFC what responsibility do ACL, legal, moral or otherwise...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    honest answer is I have no idea. The FL seem to be quite flexible as to what contributes so it may. So long as the income relates to the stadium it seems it counts. But I couldn't say for certain.

    how about signing a long lease at the Ricoh and then building their own social venue to cater for events, bars, small conferences etc next to it? On the Leisure land site that's available. Get Turnover, Revenue and asset value not to mention a place for CCFC fans to be together 365 days of the...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    can we clear what it is that we are actually "fighting" for......... - we want CCFC playing at the Ricoh.............they are and I have not seen anyone say they don't want this long term (other than the CCFC owners) - we want CCFC to benefit from income sources at the Ricoh.......... plenty...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Questions - does a change of ownership of ACL stop CCFC playing at the Ricoh? - does a change stop income generation for CCFC at the Ricoh? - Is it necessary to own the stadium or all or part of ACL to benefit from income streams? - would a longer term deal still be available to CCFC...

    Talking of new stadiums.........

    the likely response to that would be a blanket we are unable to comment. There will be projects going on or put forward that will be covered by commercial confidentiality, and there may well be a considerable volume of information that is actually just not relevant to what we want to know. The...

    I meant the sq ft Otis. The stadium bowl represents under 50% of the complex sq ft apparently

    which the owners seem to be willing to kiss goodbye to for the second time as they go for this new stadium. Actually the stadium bowl is less than 50% apparently

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Just to be absolutely clear I am absolutely against Wasps taking control of the stadium and making CCFC second class citizens there

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    but CCC do not have day to day involvement in the running of ACL. The board of directors can out vote the CCC appointed directors. CCFC fans like it or not are a only a large minority of the footfall now at the Ricoh that it seems can be replaced by other events or clients. If the decision is...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    Michael. Yes fans should have a bigger say in their club .......... but there is no firm connection between club and ACL any more. The club are a day renting client nothing more, nothing less. As such there is little fans groups can do to influence what ACL do or do not do. You talk as if ACL...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    whether we like it or not it is only the directors of Otium t/a CCFC that has a duty of care to the fans of CCFC. ACL has no fans - it is just a business. You could argue there is some sort of moral duty by the ACL directors but faced with a client that says its future lies elsewhere, that...

    Talking of new stadiums.........

    don't think the Trust are trying to disprove what he said as such............. just there is no evidence from any of the councils that any progress has been made. It may be the case that it is a private land deal and no approach has been made to any council as yet. But you might think after more...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    and yet we are told by TF/SW that the club is working well in partnership together with ACL .......... that ACL are glad to have them back and treating them like platinum clients :thinking about:

    Talking of new stadiums.........

    This from the Trust website ...... The Sky Blue Trust has been in regular contact with all the local authorities in the Coventry area concerning the prospect of CCFC building a new stadium and all have reported that, to date, there has been no contact between them and the club. The councils...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    well apparently TF knows of 1, 2 3 or even 4 sites in the Coventry area that are available that Wasps could build their own stadium on if they are intent on moving up here perhaps he could tell them where ..........:whistle:

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    I assume there are other things that have been said and can not be reported because the Wasps statement doesn't actually refer to the Ricoh or any one specific site. The council statement seems to contradict the talks are anything other than discussions about playing matches there because how is...

    The disappointing thing is instead of thinking around the problem in a positive way they keep coming back to demanding rhetoric about ownership. They could do the stuff we are discussing now, in fact have always had the facility to do it, but choose to take a blinkered approach about ownership...
