Not really. The original requirement of Wasps was that SISU / CCFC stop all legal action against them. That was agreed to and SISU signed the undertaking. Wasps then changed their requirements to no action being taken by anyone against Wasps or third parties regarding the Ricoh. That is a...

Yes. It is hugely unlikely, even if we crash out with no deal, that cases like this will just be dropped.

Council will have, or at least should have, insurance for this kind of thing.

Would depend if the agreement fell away when Wasps wouldn't agree a new deal. If it did then frankly Wasps have only got themselves to blame if legal action is launched against them.

We're not the first club to have to do this and it hasn't led to franchise football so I don't think thats a worry. Its simply doesn't make business sense for clubs to move around the county. Where are all these cities without teams they could move to? You really need to flip it round and look...

Some of their fans genuinely think they lose money by having us play there. Their inability to grasp very basic facts is astounding.

This ones easy. There's 365 days in the year. We played 24 games last season - some moved to Fridays or Sundays to allow other events, Wasps played 16. 3 concerts and 1 monster truck event. What was happening on the remaining 321 days as I assume they were all fully booked if they need our days...

Well no it would be state aid to ACL. Are you suggesting Chris West is talking bollocks?

Have a look at their accounts: Wasps Bonds

Beat advert for the Womens World Cup has been the Nations League Finals. Load of players who couldn't give a shit and would rather be on the beach.

The Coventry public. Even if you hate the football club for some reason as a taxpayer you'd want the best return possible.

Last time was very different. There was a stadium sat empty and people, wrongly it turned out, assumed moving clubs around the country wasn't an option.

I think people would be wise to the fact The Ricoh was available again and therefore the council would be under pressure to properly market it with everyone bidding on the same thing. Certainly don't think they'd get away with conducting a sale in secret again.

There is very little sign of intelligence on that forum. Made the mistake of following that link to see what they were saying and ended up reading a couple of other threads. There's currently outrage as they believe rob9872 genuinely wants to blow up the Ricoh! To be honest I'm struggling to...

I don't think there is a plan to get back. I've posted that in a few threads already. But just because there's not a plan doesn't mean I suddenly start believing everything Fisher comes out with. As I've said elsewhere we'll only return if either Wasps do a complete 180 or we build a new...

I would guess it could become state aid if the lower rent meant ACL had to be bailed out by CCC. However you could easily argue that wasn't down to the rent and down to other aspects of the business. The biggest issue is someone would have to instigate the action. If CCC had said rent was £1 a...

At the end of the day its not as simple as Wasps going bust. There's multiple companies and the lease is used as security on a huge loan. Exactly the kind of setup people were up in arms at the idea of SISU putting in place should the club ever own the stadium. In an ideal world Wasps...

Are we really back to the everything Tim Fisher says is 100% true routine? Thought we'd all moved past that.

Really? I can recall many people, myself included, saying they would happily join Wasps protests but none materialise. Can't remember them holding marches similar to the two we held or protesters outside the ground at every game. Not to say 100% of the fanbase was happy but they didn't exactly...

I had to check that wasn't a parody account. What an idiot. His thinking seems to be that selling ACL with a 250 year lease to Wasps at £6.3m (£25K a year if you choose to look at it that way) is definitely not state aid but charging CCFC less than £1.3m for 23 days a year would be state aid...
