what the hell does that mean? F&B is basically Wasps. What other suppliers could there be?

That's a real worry when the 2.5m League 1 salary cap kicks in. Becomes a very attractive way of limiting costs whilst "building" a stadium.

Really? I should work for local media - believe anything :)

500 Test wickets some achievement. A shame it's not in front of a packed house. What are the odds of it being the same batsman as Jimmy's 500th - nearly 3 years earlier!!

Possibly. But the statement gives an either / or scenario. New stadium self-explanatory but a Ricoh return option isn't.

Since the Council’s decision to sell the Ricoh to Wasps at what we believe to be a gross and unlawful undervalue, we have been determined either to overturn that decision by legal challenge (this is the only way back to the Ricoh on any sort of sustainable basis) . Probably a long shot but how...

Can they do this without the ultimate owners (CCC) permission?

Just ask them how they intend to convince supporters there's serious intent this time - this doesn't include pat answers like "club needs its own stadium" .

A realistic reporting schedule that progress can be measured against. Hide everything behind commercial confidentiality and many will think they're bullshitting again. And models won't count - people fell for that one last time.

So that's basically Richardson.

Who the hell are these other parties signing NDAs? The F&B people? Council released a statement it was nothing to do with them as it was between landlord and tenant.

That's against Wasps though isn't it? If the EU decision goes against CCC then that's where the legal action would surely be aimed? Can't see anywhere CCFC would have a case directly against Wasps anyway. If CCC "undersold" the Ricoh then it's up to them to get the correct money back from...

They've got TV money to worry about as well. Plus they've taken the money up front from CVC who potentially get 27% of future TV income now. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/article-8259485/Premiership-Rugby-facing-huge-drop-value-TV-rights-coronavirus-crisis.html

But the decision to sell to Wasps was pretty much unanimous apparently. Tory council giving grief back in 2007 , Labour now. These people are semi-pro politicians - they'll tell what you want to hear to get elected and then do something different. Most recent elections had candidates saying...

Poker analogy is a good one. We've seen it since the "rent holiday/strike". All these various issues have the relevant parties assuming the other will fold - but they don't. Now SISU think Wasps need the cash, Wasps think SISU can't stay in Brum. Both sides misreading their hands - Wasps do...

no college season and the draft becomes a complete lottery anyway :) Adams going to have to adjust to a new system as he's not a natural ball attacker

Someone who seems to enjoy making CCC life awkward. Various local campaigns/cases against Council. Usually proved right.

So that's still Wasps - ACL are a wasps subsidiary now.

All in all a depressing ( but not surprising) read

what 3rd parties?
