Not sure how they could say with any certainly we'd be at the Ricoh next season if they hadn't had talks.

I'm not talking about it voiding it, I'm talking about there being a change in the value of the contract and a financial penally for Wasps associated with that. An example. Lets say you're the car park management company. You pay Wasps up front for the rights to run the car park which includes...

Heres one example: https://www.thecaterer.com/articles/530538/delaware-north-wins-20-year-deal-with-coventrys-ricoh-arena There's been a few rumours, on here, social media etc, that a deal has been agreed behind the scenes. Not from any source I'd say was particularly reliable but you never know.

As with anything you are only going to be able to buy it if you offer a price the seller deems acceptable. Saying you don't have to take SISU seriously when they say it is derisory is ridiculous. They are the current owners and it is them alone who will decide if any offer is satisfactory...

Seem to recall a few people saying the same when wanting SISU to come in.

All the council have really said is they will do the minimum required of them by law. Maybe go back and have a look at Wasps application for Higgs and see how much assistance the council gave them.

I would be happy for someone senior from SISU to speak to them. However when your previous offer was described as derisory you really need to come back with something significantly improved, not just a promise of a few quid if Wilson leaves Bournemouth.

And remember Johnson slipped out about being able to play at the Ricoh if it wasn't SISU, trust meetings with the council that they weren't allowed to report on and notes in the trust board meeting minutes to get updates from Hoffman. They're all in it together and it will play out just as it...

Exactly, how blatant does it need to be. We've even had Nick Eastwood saying the fans should be more upset and protest more.

Couldn't have planned it any better :emoji_thinking:

Where would that money be coming from? The hallmarks of a Hoffman offer is promising SISU payment of future income, add in accepting any old offer to stay at the Ricoh and funds will be a lot tighter than they are now. Maybe we can get a Wonga loan off his mate Ranson.

Reckon there will be a few people lying low now having made complete idiots of themselves.

Given that Hoffman and Elliott were thick as thieves with Ranson and he was seen at the Ricoh recently would you bet against the funding coming in the form of one of Ranson's Wonga style loans. Add that into the mix with promising future income to SISU and accepting any offer Wasps will give...

So predictable yet there were those who claimed yet again that it was tinfoil hat territory. So we've got Hoffman and Elliott, recently seen at the Ricoh with Ranson, putting in a bid to 'save' the club. Sure I've seen that before somewhere. In my opinion, and not really based on anything...

Think the council were awarded £330K costs for JR1 and the council & Wasps have already been awarded some costs for JR2. I suppose there's always the prospect of them not being paid but I suspect the FL would treat it in the same manner as the debt to ACL if SISU went down the administration route.

As I've already posted even if you want to completely discount that, although I'm not sure those who have signed contracts with Wasps would agree that the loss of over quarter of a million customers over 23 event days should be discounted, you're still have a much higher total figure than people...

Amazing people still believe that. Or that the rent now can be compared to the rent previously. Even if you assume Fishers figures include every penny spent by supporters you're still comparing somewhere in the region of £.75m against £1.6m. Given the loss of primacy, stands closed, loss of...

It was when CCC had agreed to sell to Wasps. At the time it appeared to be a case of them covering themselves from a legal POV as they weren't certain if the clubs option to buy the Higgs share still existed. Was rejected by Higgs and I think it later came out that Wasps had a veto so it was...

Its the figure from last season given by the club and confirmed by my contact at ACL. If you're trying to argue its inflated by matchday F&B then you're arguing against your own previously made point when you've said the revenues from that for football matches is insignificant. Still I think...

Why haven't they asked him why the council has continually insisted there has been no conversations with the club regarding a new stadium for him to now say there has been 'in recent years'?
