That was Robins idea in his first spell here so would have been part of the 2012/13 season.

What level of rent do you believe was set in the original lease should the club be relegated to the third tier? The 'rent-free' deal only applied while the club was in administration. It was a PR move, nothing more.

Even if Fisher was on CWR tomorrow morning saying they'd bought Ikea and put in a planning application you'd be looking at 5 years if you're lucky, more likely 10 or more, before a stadium was built. Therefore if we're going to play in Cov in the short to mid term the only option is the Ricoh...

The council approved a long lease for car park C in July 2019 on the basis that Wasps aquired planning permission by November 2019. The council said at the time "An additional hotel at the Ricoh Arena has been long-awaited and is much needed". A seperate hotel application was made near the...

I know there's some pretty shitty lawyers but can anyone really see Wasps buying the Ricoh without someone flagging up there may be an issue down the line. Standard way to deal with that would be for the seller to cover those costs so why wasn't that in the contract?

Would be in favour of a protest but why not just get a statement out condemning them ASAP. That can be done pretty much instantly.

Even if we're not building our own stadium, which I think is most peoples stance, you wouldn't want to sign up to a long lease with no break in it. You never know what might be down the line and if in many years time some billionaire wants to build us a stadium we don't want being tied into a...

Ideally back ASAP but I think once there was an agreement in place I'd happily leave it up to whatever Robin's preference was.

Thought it was brilliant, pretty much every episode is. There is a podcast on BBC Sounds which is worth a listen as well.

People at work, particularly those in more senior roles, who can't be bothered to do their jobs and just push things back onto you. For various different parts of my job I have four different people to report today. Today I've tried to escalate two things up to managers as it needs them to make...

Had a look online but can't find anything. The way whoever it was from the council who was on CWR this morning was talking made it sound like Ikea rent from the council. Although you wouldn't have thought the council would have built something to Ikea's spec without them being tied to a lease.

Well according to someone from the council this morning they've already got multiple potential tenants after it.

What would go in there? There's already a cinema and ice rink in the Skydome. Can't imagine the police would be keen on more night clubs as there's already a fair bit of trouble in that area. Could stick a bowling alley in there I suppose, think the only one is up by the Showcase if thats even...

This doesn't make sense. We're told the reason the council struggles to attract higher class, for want of a better term, retailers is lack of demand in the city. How is there a lack of demand if thousands of students are getting on a train to go and shop at those stores? The cafes and...

What about the flats on what was a council run car park opposite the sports centre?

If you knocked down Ikea and the SkyDome (the whole complex not just the ice rink) along with the car park you'd probably have enough room but even if you believed SISU were building a stadium the cost for the site would make it a non starter.

Their online player normally has every game the FA provide a feed for so if it’s not listed there chances of it being anywhere are slim.

How busy do they expect it to be? Regularly causes huge traffic jams back onto the ring road so unless they start getting people in by helicopter how are they expecting to increase numbers? Although maybe that’s the problem. The city centre traffic management is so bad these days there’s...

If you didn't want so many sky blue seats and didn't want multicoloured easiest thing to do is just reverse the colours. Have most of the seats dark blue and the lettering in sky blue.

Why can't SISU knock something like this up. Only cost $1.5bn and we could share it with the Blaze.
