    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Is this the most negative thing the Telegraph have ever written about Wasps? Although the article somehow manages to also come to the conclusion that us not being there, and having another stadium in the city, will make it easier for them to sell the naming rights.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Something like the University of Phoenix Stadium will do for me! They actually have a pitch that slides out underneath one of the stands into the car park like the Ricoh was originally supposed to have.

    She supports Liverpool so should be in favour of anything that helps get us back in the Prem!

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Should we get to that point I think it would be very wise for as many people as possible to contact their local representative urging support for any plans. Might fire in an email now anyway, won't do any harm to let them know the people they represent expect them not to do anything to block a...

    Shamima Begum Not Allowed Back.

    As I said thats fine but if you're taking that stance how would you implement it on a practical level. Making someone stateless is against International law so lets assume we decide to ignore that and do it anyway how do you get other countries to cooperate? We don't want her here so why are you...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    There's a train for about 10 people. As long as you didn't want to go to anything that was on in the first 10 or so years the stadium was open that would be fine! Wasn't a travel plan part of the planning agreement that involved buses being run from all over the city. That soon got forgotten about.

    Shamima Begum Not Allowed Back.

    So the logical conclusion is you need to change the system. Thats a perfectly valid argument to have but how would that work in practice? If we decide to ignore international law and make people stateless are we expecting other countries to co-operate and take these people for us? IMO the more...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Living not too far away from the Uni I've been pleasantly surprised to see the local face book group, who are usual in uproar about pretty much anything, has been virtually all positive comments so far.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Welcome that to be honest. Much better to have a bit of professionalism and just keep quiet and get on with the job. Any info will likely come from the club and / or uni, the council can just be left to get on with their job. Still if no-one from the council involved will come on not sure its...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    If a potential stadium is where I'm thinking (near the sports centre) then that is one of two sites the University have identified for a major parking hub. Their plan is to close the existing car parks around the campus and move to two large car parks on the edge of the site. One would be near...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    The location is a bit of a masterstroke really. Doesn't come under Cov Council but everyone involved at the council, media etc has always accepted the University as part of the city, particularly when there's any credit to be taken. Pretty hard now to start jumping up and down saying its not in...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Getting a say is very different to being the council overseeing the planning application. I know are media, trust etc aren't very supportive of the club but surely if you get to the point where you've got a viable plan supported by the club, EFL, the uni and the council it comes under...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Hopefully they'll quickly see they're fighting a losing battle. Pretty sure Maton wouldn't have been expecting the response he got to his tweet.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Its quite funny seeing who on social media is annoyed and scrambling at this news and who welcomes it. Sadly you could easily have predicted who would be the ones who seem to not be entirely happy about it.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    When people talk about the club getting F&B money I don't think they're imagining Fisher popping down to Tesco for some burgers and Sepalla firing the grill up. There's always going to be a catering partner and they aren't going to be doing it for nothing. Might as well have that partner be...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    The accepted line has been a deal like the one with Tesco is a non starter as retail aren't building / renting units like that these days. Switching in student accommodation for retail blows that argument out of the water. Doubt anyone in Cov would try and make the argument that there isn't a...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Another plus, a lot of the dumb rules at the Ricoh are at the insistence of the SAG. Thats run by the council so presumably if we were no longer under Coventry council we'd have different people calling the shots and might not be the only club in the county that needs thousands of empty seats...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Looking at the statement they put out it was more down to numbers once it was knockout games and not being able to get enough trained staff in to run it safely. Hopefully with better organisation and police presence we normally see on match days it would be opened up. Plus wouldn't be disturbing...

    New signing incoming - Ryan Giles on loan

    Surprised at that but trust our management team. They're the ones that have seen him in training so should have a pretty good idea if he fulfils a need.
