Pretty sure state aid laws are suspended currently due to Covid19. .....an obvious way for CCC to throw money at their pet project, in public view, also to rub our faces in it.... Don't be surprised if there is more chucked their way in some way, shape or form. Again, 3.8 mil is a hell of a lot...

Just beat me to it Nick!

How will the public know how much of the money went into a "refurb"???? ......and how much went into propping the playing side of things up??.... Didn't realise a couple of mats and some temporary seats were so expensive these days!

As people have pointed out on twitter, they can "afford " to buy a new training ground and look to build a hotel!! Typical that state aid laws are currently suspended due to Covid.... so basically waspsandthecouncil (one entity!) can rub it in our faces.....

Quite rightly so!!!!

It's a joke isn't it. Wonder how much will actually go towards the refurb or whether it is just an excuse so they can use it to prop them up for a short while..... Council c-units!!!...

Here we go....

That shirt is shit. I don't understand how anybody could get excited by it! If the club released that I would be extremely disappointed! Glad I don't have to worry about them doing that though. I am a little concerned how they can even match last seasons shirts.

Here are the Trusts comments that they posted after the letter - thoughts? "So, where are we now during this pause in the proceedings? SISU will continue to try to wrest (quite legally, note) the ownership and control of the Ricoh as cheaply as possible from Coventry City Council and Wasps...

They have put their own speil on underneath I see.

The letter has made its way onto "drunken Wasps" Doesn't get a great response! https://m.rugbynetwork.net/boards/read/s96.htm?98,16804850,page=5

Bit of a flippant reply from this Eccleston chap;

"Did not ask for any conditions to be inserted into any possible deal" We think that is not true dont we. Wonder if Wasps are biting their tongue?

Anybody got their statement from the other day. Can't find it. I did see it posted somewhere... Only what Gilbert says here;

Has anybody got their statement. I know I have seen it, just can't seem to dig it back out.

How many times have I said that the council are hiding behind Wasps and using them as a puppet....

I'd question that too. I know this is a bit "tin foil hat/conspiracy" crazy, but Wasps have ploughed a lot of effort into marketing the West Mids/Birmingham. Quite a few of their "fans" travel from there too. Who's to say he hasn't had the same schmoozing from Eastwood and Vaughan- a villa fan...

I'm sure I saw somewhere that he was a ccfc fan.... could be wrong though! Could we get mark Hornby / Tynan scope to send him a city strip to celebrate him passing his journalist exams and subsequently being tasked with reporting on ccfc??;)

Apparently the deal was "very very good" for Wasps that was "offered" by CCFC. "Offered" struck me as a strange term to use, but suggests, as Boddy said, they did really want a deal. Read my posts about what was said. Wasps were shite to deal with and kept moving goalposts at the last minute and...
