Just for info they have nearly folded on I believe three separate occasions over the past ten years, so if this doesn't work for them then it will probably be curtains. Perhaps then they will bugger off back to London to the fan base they stuck two fingers up at to come to Coventry

Yep, he was so shocked we had had a shot and then scored he had to speak to the linesman to confirm it had actually happened. Apparently when the ref left the ground he was wearing a 'I was there when Coventry scored' t-shirt.

Yep I think he is the owner of Wasps, but I thought that the funding for the Ricoh was assisted by other parties. I seem to remember seeing this in the Daily Telegraph and a couple of other papers, and that some of this funding was through a Hedge Fund? I think it will take time for it all to...

Apologies if I am wrong, but I thought it had been stated several times in the press and on threads, that some money towards the stadium purchase (how much I dont know) is backed by a Maltese Hedge Fund.

Its Pol Pot, Genghis Khan, Kim Jong Un and Dr Evil. Its a bugger getting them altogether though seeing one is fictitious, two are dead, and one has been sick due to the amount of cheese he has eaten.

The actions of another secretive Hedge Fund?

I think he needed help in his final season when we went down, and didnt have the right coaching staff with him. Pendry certainly wasnt what he needed alongside him. I also think Richardson let the Hartson deal drag on too long and should have tied it up immediately. That delay and the lack of a...

You dont mean like allegedly rewarding yourself with a 650k bonus for sealing a land sale deal with Tesco at the arena site, on land the club didn't even own. Its amazing how business works isn't it!

I am totally with Astute and Terry Gibsons perm on this one, my favorite Victory was the 3-1 Quarter final win over Sheffield Wednesday in 87. The atmosphere was electric, the team fantastic, and the result totally totally deserved from a great game. Cyrille's goal was also one of the best...

As opposed to Aaron Sweater. ;) Thanks, taxi for Moff.

Yes local fans for a local team, not some imported one from London. :whistle:

I would suggest at least Bath, Saints, Tigers and Saracens, the latter three who seem to have been running things well for a number of years, and now Bath seem to have come to the top table. Harlequins may also be up there. Wasps may get there eventually but all the claims about how rich they...

Sorry quoting a two sentence statement within a BBC article does not mean it is true. There are many permutations to this, and yes it could well be the case if they market and use the facility appropriately, but like I said attendances may well be key, as will another sitting tenant, and how...

I think your lack of Rugby knowledge is showing you up more than a little. I think you are in a minority of one that would use the words 'World Class' to describe Wasps. You seem to be holding your new club in the same high regard you had for SISU when they took us over. They say lightning...

Sorry where do the figures come from before they have even played a game, or paid back the 20 odd million for the stadium? I would hazard a guess that the second highest turnover in Europe is currently far from the truth. When they have consistent support like the Tigers or Saints, coupled with...

Your right I wouldn't have thought it, as I clearly didnt give a flying f*ck

Fair do's Fred. I hate the fact I want a team to desperately fail, one I didn't have any feelings for until a few weeks ago, but I really want Wasps to fall flat on their faces, and I want that bitch Lucas to answer for it.

You could go on, but you obviously dont know about the salary cap and financial rules in Rugby, so you would be barking up the wrong tree.

You cant be gauging opinion correctly Fred as people like Italia and Dongo quote all the excited people wanting to watch a Premiership Rugby team, so the Ricoh experience is certainly low on the reasons they would go. Lets face it you could make it as enjoyable to visit the stadium as you like...

Your experience seems completely at odds with mine. Most people I have spoken to are disgusted the club (not SISU) will not ever get the chance to hold some ownership of the ground. I am yet to meet anyone, sports fans or not who are excited about Wasps coming to Coventry. The main view I get...
