He means the Wasps training ground. When they came here it was a promised new state of the art facility available to the public. That changed to booting our academy out of Higgs and doing a refurb. Then it was going to br at Old Leamingtonians, they evicted their tenants to make way for Wasps...

How much do they think the money given to Wasps will generate for the local economy and what is the basis for their claims? Why does the Ricoh need so much work to host a couple of days judo, is it not being properly maintained? Has the council analysed how much is lost to the local city each...

Brilliant performance from Ireland but some sloppy bowling from England. Thought Ireland had blown it when England got 328 after being 44-3 but excellent batting performance and centuries for Stirling and Balbirnie,.

Well that's good news then as I'm sure he can supply a link to the minutes from the council meeting where they voted on the sale of the Ricoh to Wasps and lease extension that nobody has ever been able to track down.

Any of these names ring a bell, keen to know who I should start slagging off :)

Good to see in light of the current pandemic they made this easily accessible without turning up to a pub. Do we get to know what was in this wide ranging and passionate discussion or is it a secret?

It was what I was told by one of our clients lawyers who deals with the EC a lot. I assume he knows more about it than I do!

What you're saying is essentially what any EC investigation will deal with, if they decide to proceed. We all know it was one deal but the technicalities of the law in the UK mean it is treated as separate transactions. If the EC feel it should be treated as one then they will look at where UK...

Had a quick look to see if other games venues were getting similar funding but not much is turning up. Obviously they're practically rebuilding the Alex Stadium and there's a new Aquatics centre, both with obvious legacy benefits although you could argue about maintaining a dedicated athletics...

What facilities do think the Ricoh is lacking to host a couple of days of judo?

Well they have said it will cost £5.3m and so far they've had £5.2m from public funds towards it. So not a lot would be the answer.

Millions will be generated for the area by having a roof over some steps. Its what's been missing for years and clearly the cause of those huge losses.

This is ridiculous. How are Wasps claiming it is going to cost £5.3m to put a roof over some steps? Remember when the council claimed we couldn't have the 50% of the freehold promised because some of the Ricoh funding was grant money and that would be state aid. What is handing millions over to...

How much is my council tax going up to pay for that?

How did that meeting go? "Lads, we're losing millions every year, any ideas what we can do" "Put a roof over the stairs" "Brilliant, that will do the trick"

Technology defiantly exists to order from your seat via an app and have it delivered to you. Did it years ago when I was at MSG for the ice hockey. If the tech worked fine 7 years ago it certainly shouldn't be a problem now.

You're right, if you zoom in on the sketch you can see the stairs still there. Seems a bit of a waste of time to say the least.

Already been on to my councillors, with zero response. Will send something to my MP as well.

This is incredible.

It is, looks like they're taking the stairs out. Might bid for the job, reckon I could knock a staircase down for a few million. Although oddly in that sketch it looks like they've removed an entire floor. This is what that side looks like at the moment.
