Wasps have probably decided not to bother seeing as its council land.

They used to be in the Telegraph before they would even appear on Wasps own site when they could spin it as positive. Now its gone to shit they quietly post it up and hope nobody notices while the Telegraph completely ignore it.

Seeing as the like to present everything as cross party might be worth contacting the leader of Coventry Conservatives and asking if they agree with Duggins that the council has no role to play in returning a business worth £10m+ a year to the local economy back to the city.

Amazes me they have the balls to print stuff like this. It's literally someone going out and doing their job for them and rather than be embarrassed about it they just lift it for their own clicks.

Makes me laugh that Gilbert in the past moaned about people on the forum posting quotes from the Telegraph but they will lift things off here without a second thought. Odd that there is no mention of him being questioned on the economic value to the city.

I can't believe this wouldn't have come up, Wasps legal team would have had to be incompetent beyond belief to have missed it. So the only conclusion you can really draw is that it was refused. In turn that leads you to then question why.

People keep saying its contacted out like the revenue suddenly doesn't matter. Do people really think the car parking company, for example, signed a contract with ACL knowing we might leave and take £440K a year in revenue with us without there being something in the contract to cover that?

Casino is an obvious one, although as ACL are their landlords they might not want to go on the record. There's all the places nearby that do unofficial parking. Must be loads, not sure of specific names but if you factor in pubs, take aways, hotels for away fans, taxis then it has to have a...

Is there really an article on the Telegraph site where they've asked some random bloke to guess what kit we might have next season? Can't see it being anything like those. Didn't someone from Hummel already say they're bespoke kits again next year and something that would be unexpected or...

I'm not violently against it or desperate to avoid it but lets looks at facts. Everyone who has talked about the EC complaint says it can't be withdrawn. Not to mention Wasps haven't actually requested this, or if they have I can't find it. The EC procedures are freely available online and I...

You do realise the EC isn't just one person sat at a desk you can ring up and have a chat to don't you? To deal with the EC you have to use their formal processes which are all detailed and freely available for the public to examine on their website. Which process outlined on there do you...

There is absolutely no reason we can't play at the Ricoh while 'we wait for our owner to finish her legal fetish'. After all if all is above board as claimed there's nothing for Wasps or the council to worry about and therefore no need for the indemnity. Just treat SISU like a child having a...

If they won't they you stick that in a press release. Say you asked for an on the record meeting with Wasps and they refused.

Frankly I would snap your hand off for a ground like Shrewsbury's at the moment. At least we'd be playing in Cov. Modular grounds are the emerging trend in stadium builds, a lot of the World Cup grounds will be done that way, there's even one ground that they're planning to take apart after the...

Exactly. I don't read this as Pete and Mark now sitting back and going job done. Its the start of dialogue between with the club. Hopefully similar dialogue can start with Wasps.

Nobody is giving the owners a free pass. What people are doing is looking at what needs to happen to get us back to Cov. Did you expect Mark and Pete to turn up to the meeting and start shouting at Boddy and Sepalla that they're liars and full of shit? What do you think that would have achieved...

I don't think people have grasped the basics of what any EC investigation would entail. Keep seeing "multiple judges have all said the same", that's exactly the point, the EC take it as read that those judges are correct and that they have applied the law of the land. What they will be looking...

Lets be realistic. Even if Fisher is on CWR tomorrow morning saying they've bought the land and submitted the planning application there's virtually zero chance of a new ground being ready in 2 years, I would say 5 years would be optimistic. So the reality is the Ricoh is the only way we are...

If the Telegraph or CWR had anything about them it would be the leading story tomorrow morning. We all know the reality is it most likely won't even get a mention.
