Junk yard, junk bond...

This is what annoys me about the revisionists on their forum. They bleat about the council bailing us out on the building of the Ricoh, when they haven't put a penny towards their purchase of the ground. The bond holders paid for it! And while I'm on, where's the CVC money gone, eh? As much as...

Can't believe we let that CWR co-commentator sit on the bench :mad:

I think part of it is them not wanting to admit they've had the wool pulled over their eyes for many years.

Wonky has nailed you though G 😬 ;)

I guess they've got to play indoors what with the pitch. Do you know whose house it was?

https://www.cwlep.com/sites/default/files/2021-03-22_cwlep_board_papers.pdf Looks like Wasps also tried to get funding for themselves and Hollywood Gaming to provide 'Spatial Audio' at the Ricoh... The guy from JLR - 'NS pointed out that this is a commercial transaction between to companies...

I think we can stand down the pitchforks gents (on this occasion anyway...)

Yes, that looks like how the CIF works. There's a bit about an Escrow account in this article on CIF funding for the Telegraph hotel - Councillor defends spending YOUR money on unviable hotel Note the CIF appear to give short term loans, not grants.

It was also in March 2022's Dashboard - https://governance.wmca.org.uk/documents/s6731/03.22%20CIF%20Dashboard%20-%20PUBLIC.pdf I haven't looked at all historical monthly dashboards to see when it first appeared, but seems separate from the £13m one?
