I'm with you on this one, can't really get worked up about it at the moment. Clearly I'd rather we win, but I can't see us competing in L1 next season, so the possibility of a few more wins in L2 may be more entertaining, may even have increased attendances for what is currently our final agreed...

Always seems to open at lunchtime, and whenever I drive home from work, so I guess from 4.30 on weekdays. I'll find out for sure for you, seeing as you're keen...

Binley mega Chippy gets my vote, always worth the massive Friday night queue. Even when drunk after the Pink Parrot was never really tempted by parsons nose, terrible standard of chips. When a kid it was always the one on Charter Ave, near the half sovereign, we used to take our old papers up...

Hard to argue against that. Interest cost over the 7 years will be £16m, £13m to the Council, £4m other loan, £10m to Richardson, and that leaves errrrrrrr, minus £8m for working capital. I know the hope is that the interest will come from future profits, but it's hard not to be cynical.

Either that, or they could give another bond out again. All the people that had just got their 6.5% for 7 years will no doubt be interested again. So keep doing that and never pay the loan back, just interest, that the loan helps service anyway.

I'll inbox you my account details. Thanks, see you in 2022.

They mention the ongoing court action in there, say that paying the loan back means that part (SISU's request for the loan to be paid back) of the case falls away. Also mentions that the break in our 4 year rental is in ACL's favour not the club. So we've only got 1 guaranteed year left.

No signing up, yep fairly direct link, just one more click. http://www.wasps.co.uk/the-club/bonds/secured-bonds then click prospectus towards the bottom.

Followed the link posted earlier, looked on the prospectus part, around page 52 says what the money will be used for.

Some interesting(?maybe?) figures in the prospectus, needs OSB to have a look at really, shows that ACL also made a loss for the six months to Nov 14. The money they raise from the bond will repay the Council, and up to £10m to repay loans given by Richardson, some other loans £4m, and then fund...

http://www.wasps.co.uk/the-club/bonds/secured-bonds Go to Information booklet, then page 8.

In the sales blurb for the bond it states that Wasps own the arena outright, would seem to be a odd thing to get wrong. Also says the Arena has been valued at £48m.

Is that a quote from Pressley?

We didn't even sell Baker though did we, I thought we had to pay him to leave. Pretty poor of the manager to not recognise the value he still had.

I guess he thinks the players he keeps on the pitch are still the best chance we have of getting a result, despite having reservations about them. I can only think he kept Nouble on the basis that he thought there was still a small chance he would show some of his capabilities, rather than put...

I think the expectations of Alsopp were higher as he came from a higher league team, and also he came as part of the deal that took our star player away, which maybe made a few people, me included expect more from him. Also Burge had a nightmare at the Worcester game, and as he's our only...

Just had a look, he was born in Hereford. That's a relief, we can now be free to says he's either good or rubbish without the 'came from Cov' row. Phew. :)

Michael would be worried about that if his offer to pay the rent was taken up.

Seems to me that McSheffrey gets more abuse as he comes from Cov. Always someone ready to have a moan about him, maybe expectations were set too high on his return. I think that Burge is better than he was at the start of the season. I didn't know he came from Cov.

Warwick uni pitches, where they have now built accommodation. The pitches were rarely used, and often the nets were left up. I was probably Kenny Dalglish.
