Really badly, and alwyas thought that they would from the beginning. You however thought they were great didn't you Who?

The £2million was what Higgs wanted cash rather than the £5.5million over an amount of time. The offer by Sisu for the Higgs share was considered by CCC to be above market value for their share, proved by the £2.77million from Wasps over 250 year lease rather than the 150 year lease requested...

Your mum.

No yearly fee for the old lease, was about £21million for the 50 year lease(which is what the loan was for) Then became £14million last year for the remainder of the lease(43 years?). Now has become whatever remains of the £14million council loan for 250 years. Great business by the council.

A bit like what Wasps did with their old home.

You're wrong there, he started at Huddersfield a couple of months agao according to Coventry Telegraoh reliable sources. It's probably the job sharing that's killing him to be honest.

No it wasn't. Still at least you give me fond memories of vinyl and record players and the stylus getting stuck on the same bit, over and over and over again.

They would have negotiated with YB and got some discount, as did the Council(who had forgotten when they started the negotiations about the £3.6million or so hedging protection that they had taken out on top of the loan). Now, if Sisu had negotiated with YB, not got a deal that they were happy...

Plenty on here who are absolutely fucking delighted.

I'd email them to ask.

Higgs and the Council were mad not to accept the offer on the table from Sisu before could also be said.

There is also the bit where it was said that the council wanted to keep their 50% of ACL as "they saw it as a long term community investement". Well, if a week is a long time in politics, then I suppose another two years could be counted as "a long term investment". Think the "bleating" of...

Pretty much the same cash price on offer now, or more with £1.5million down, and £4million to be paid over 10 years. They would have been after a 125 year lease(not the 250 years that Wasps have got), and would also have been taking over the loan like Wasps are. The highlighted part of the...

The option of buying into the Stadium(not club) was refused by Higgs, though better than what has been offered now by Wasps. You're a shameless stooge and shill.

True colours being shown by some now Ashdown.

I'd suggest that a rather smaller proportion of the populace want to watch Wasps "live" either in their home or ours to be honest. Though there are a few unprincipled souls who will appreciate it i expect, just not enough to make them viable.

The reason why "World Class" was in quotes because it is a description used by many to describe the Arena. The Wasps offer is no better, in fact looks worse than the one that Sisu made for 50% of ACL before all the court cases and move to Northampton. Have the council, with the sale to a Rugby...

Really? When was that then?

Surely if the council were going to sell such a profitable and succesfull, "World Class" facility, then it would have been their duty to the ratepayers to publically put the sale of the leasehold up for competititve tender? Doing a deal behind closed doors, with one party is hardly doing that...

Aren't you pissed off that the Ricoh was offered to Wasps rather than Nuneaton?
