Just seen rosborough from coventry rugby interviewed on Sky and he didn't seem as opposed as you might expect. Was quite complimentary about wasps and their chairman Richardson so makes you wonder if he knows more about the situation or sees an opportunity for coventry to partnership with wasps.

I'd love for ccfc to own the ricoh or acl but our owners have stated they don't want it therefore what are ccc supposed to do? An offer like this may not come again - wasps are probably as big a sporting club as your likely to get wanting to move so the council have to consider it with head and...

I don't doubt coventry rugby will still survive either and may end up with a similar agreement to the one they have with Worcester. Premiership rugby in England has increasingly become closed shop despite relegation from the top flight. Like I say totally understand wasp fans being upset but...

It's a different situation to us and Wimbledon in my eyes. Not great for their current fans although the history of wasps has always been nomadic- they've played in many different boroughs of London and outside the capital for over ten years. They can't afford a stadium in London having tried...

But our club owners say they don't want it so the council have a responsibility to the citizens of coventry to consider the sale. Personally I think it would be a bad move for wasps as coventry isn't a hot bed for football let alone rugby anymore unless birmingham & warwickshire union fans...

Don't get what right we have to challenge this when our owners have made a statement that they don't want to bid. Regardless of the undoubted ethics of a club moving to another city ( although wasps left london over ten years ago) if the deal is financially sound the council have a...

I think people are overplaying the chance of wasps wanting us out of the stadium if they own it. Having both a football and rugby club at the stadium would dramatically increase the site profitability. A new majority owner of acl may make it easier for sisu to buy into the stadium company.

I don't see it in the same light as Wimbledon moving to MK. Bad news for coventry rugby although the truth is they've not been a well supported club for many years. Hypothetically if wasps reformed in coventry and rose through the leagues would it be acceptable? Wasps have been struggling for...

Wasps don't play in their local area though. They've moved round London for many years and have spent ten years in bucks. They only became London wasps in 1999

I've been surprised at how quiet the club have been since these rumours started and the fact joy is saying she won't stand in the way of the deal makes me think more is going on than were aware. Probably putting 2 & 2 to make 5 but what if: ACL is sold to a consortium fronted by the wasps...

I'm surprised at how quiet sisu have been about Wasps taking over the Ricoh. Probably just being suspicious but wouldn't be surprised if they had a stake in the takeover consortium. Although bad for wasps and cov rugby I don't see it leading us to exit the Ricoh again, if anything I think it...

The article mentions buying half acl. What if Sisu brought the Higgs share and wasps the council half - two pro sports teams playing there each week like Swansea and ospreys. Huddersfield and the giants. Morally wrong for wasps supporters but as a business decision they get a ground cheaper than...

mcsheffery, jennings, baker e.t.c were all rumoured to have been moved on for financial rather than football reasons. Reduced bonus payments that didn't go down well. Last seasons bomb squad was predominately the result of his financial decisions and agents apparently despise him - which is why...

Whether you like Waggot or not you have to say financially we are probably in a better place to be self sustainable. Not sure what the rent agreement is but assume its nominal with with a food and beverage rebate; that along with a dramatically reduced wage bill should enable us to escape l1...

Id like to see Jackson upfront with McQuoid / Nouble. The lack of pace worries me for a title challenge or promotion push. Haynes on the wing/wing back looks positive but Clarke isn't attacking enough for 5-3-2. As has been said being hard to beat is good against the top teams but we need to be...

Cheers ferret. Hope the south stand is available as the corner will fill up quickly if it's the only place to get season tickets. Bring my lad up and as much as he'll love the naughty corner not sure his mum will appreciate the tales when he gets home!

Is it true that season tickets are no longer being sold in the south stand? I've seen it mentioned on a few posts but no confirmation on t club website or twitter. North stand season ticket holder but was holding off renewing until the panic was over and just going to buy a £10 ticket for...
