    Wasps downward spiral...

    How many times are they going to try this rubbish. Every few months we hear about how the arena is busier than ever and record breaking amounts of business but they still lose millions. Not sure there's a single concert currently scheduled is there so that parts bollocks to start off with.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    How the fuck are they still being considered for taxpayer money, its beyond belief. Love how CCC are in regular dialog with them but when Pete asked about helping CCFC they pretty much told him to go away.

    All purpose cricket thread

    Dan Norcross described Edgbaston as having the worst parking in world cricket on Zero Ducks Given this week. It used to work well don't know why they changed it and removed most of the parking. For county games there's literally no parking available so if you can't get in the park car park over...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Huddersfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 20th Aug

    From what I can make out we may have been bundled in with other local teams who put in requests to play games away because there wasn't policing available as they were working the CWG. I wonder if there's been a breakdown in communication and it wasn't picked up that we could do with more games...

    to be fair we've been here before with Wasps and Vaughn so that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

    Whenever the next SCG meeting is, or whatever its called now, can someone ask what the plan is for next season as this seems to be patching it up to get us through this season. Sounds like it really needs ripping up and starting again but if Wasps are broke is that going to happen next summer...

    May be getting this confused with something else but I seem to remember reading something at the time Wasps were looking to take the site over that planning was only granted for the centre on the basis it was for public use or something like that. Not only have they taken it out of public use...

    I get that its a joint statement and has to be agreed with both sides but why are we thanking them and saying they have agreed to the work taking place. As you say that very much sounds like we're paying. “I would like to thank Wasps Group and the Arena for agreeing to this work taking place." is j

    It had better be coming off the rent if we've fronted the cost. The fact that we can't play until the end of the month blows Wasps argument about there just needing to be a few extra days after the CWG out of the water.

    Am I reading that right, over that period private sector wages should have risen at 5% above inflation. Mine definitely hasn't

    Obviously the mai thing is that it gets fixed but not happy we've got to this point and only now are Wasps bothering to start work. Would also like to know who is paying for this, won't be happy if the answer is anyone but Wasps.

    who knows what a turf and stitch pitch is then? I have a feeling I've heard stitching mentioned at Edgbaston when they were preparing for the CWG. They put some sort of mesh down and then grow the grass through it but that still requires time for grass to grow.

    Or this is the quickest / only available solution at the moment and will get us through to the end of the season when a proper pitch can be laid.

    COV RFC 2022 - 2023

    Love that video. They do a good job marketing the club on presumably a very small budget. For a few years now they’ve been pushing the ‘out city’ thing. Something beautiful about this being announced at the same time Wasps are in the news for shutting their community arm but still accepting...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Come on BSB, we all know when you want to expand your offering you close down the charity completely first and then restart it, normal business practice as Fisher would say :ROFLMAO: Wasps doing something and expecting it to be funded by someone else, must be a mistake.

    Because he says things to get a reaction on social media to draw attention to his show. He's probably forgotten what he said about buying the club before and the vast majority of his listeners and those on social media certainly have.

    You would think if WMCA are nervous about loaning them previously agreed money there is zero chance of the newer funding application being approved.

    I hope there's a good explanation why fuck all seems to have happened up till now. Annoying that I have to read Gilberts tweets on here as he's blocked me on twitter, the best part is he blocked me for defending him to someone else :ROFLMAO:
