Sorry Fern but the threat of the new stadium was always regurgitated

Then wasps Chairman has a secret talent he was not aware of

Exactly

That's the point far more people would lose jobs if CCFC left and there was no replacement

I don't know I just know some smart arse will release a figure that the council cost Coventry by saying no. It is likely to be 10's of millions and you would be the first to jump on your bandwagon and slaughter them for failing in their job

I agree if I can't tell you the exact figure of jobs that will be created and money that will be brought in. Then I shouldn't be allowed to mention it.

If say a some pubs in the city will make a fortune from certain people drowning their sorrows. Gutted that the only thing they can blame on the council in this mess is that 8000 wasps fans get shafted. Even that is only partly the councils fault at a push

To be fair that's more WTF?

If they achieve their eventual target of 20000 fans then jobs will be created. Also they are talking about building training facilities people have to build it and run it. Jobs will be created of course it is impossible for me to say how many but they will. Just like I would hazard a guess...

Please in your expert view on all things, full stop. Tell me how much does bringing wasps to Coventry contribute to the Coventry economy over 20 years. In terms of job creation, development and people spending money in the area? Then add that to the money returned to the council to spend on the...

James take your Cov City fan glasses off for a minute. CCC look at the wasps proposal as they are duty bound to. Wasps are eventually aiming for around 20,000 fans in the stadium (eventually) The current anchor tenant is adamant it is moving out in 4-5 years time. It is moving a sporting...

I don't think I have seen a single person on here say I am glad Wasps brought ACL. I think everyone is gutted its not the football club who did it. I just think most people understand why it ended up been Wasps and not the football club.

We could play this game all day' the take it away from the point at hand' game Your stance that playing at the Ricoh has no influence of players at all when it comes to signing for CCFC. Then the manager and players and Mr Waggot himself admitted that it did. Your protest against our move...

If SISU go ahead with their threat and move CCFC out of Coventry again that money added to the revenue, jobs and regeneration brought into the city from wasps missing. Over the next 10-20 years. You grendel would be the first in the queue slaughtering the council for their naivety when SISU...

I don't agree with franchise sport. Unfortunately that explanational wouldn't cut it. If in 4 years time the city lost out on 10's of millions because the they said no to Wasps. It's the RFU who should be blocking this. The council has a responsibility to its electorate not the morals of...

You only need to do that usually when you are struggling with the debate at hand and desperately need to change the subject. Your 60 million for the Ricoh was an attempt at that tonight it failed as its actually quite a reasonable comment. Your other one will be Andy Thorn. He had a chance...

Twice

Not sure what this has to do with the OP though. Or are you just trying to change the subject now the wum line failed?

The majeski is an inferior stadium that cost 50 million to build. So yes I would say to pick up the Ricoh lock stick for £60 million would be a decent deal.

Coventry council tax payers will have to meet the £2.9m overspend costs of building the £113m Ricoh Arena. Most of the over budget costs were incurred in speeding up building work to meet a revised opening date. A meeting of the city council on Tuesday is set to approve using council reserves to...
