    London Wasps' Partners

    I would be surprised if the casino hadn't already had words with Wasps. 23 plus match days lost with thousands of people attending who like a pint or two would be a significant loss for them. There's probably a financial penalty in the casino's favour if Wasps manage to lose that much business...

    London Wasps' Partners

    And how much is the owner now owned? If I was in his position unless I was a die hard fan I'd be seriously thinking about getting my money back and getting out. Losing money, falling crowds and now a deal which will, after the short term boost, mean they have less money coming in every year.

    Jodi Jones ACL

    Horrible news, gutted for him. As hard as it will be to comeback from this physically I hope the club are also making sure he gets help mentally. Got to be difficult to deal with.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    This has got to be one of the worst decisions a sport has ever made, and there's some stiff competition. Selling out the game for short term greed. The clubs will waste no time spending their windfall and then complain they have less money coming in every year. No doubt leading to another sale...

    London Wasps' Partners

    Doesn't make it a waste of time. If someone like JLR were to start asking questions of Wasps upper management it would have an impact. Must be a lot of Cov fans employed at JLR, maybe they should give their employer some feedback.

    You can’t even file a complaint against them let alone a vote of no confidence. Tried getting on to the local government ombudsman about the clear lies from the council only to be told you can’t file a complaint for anything that affects a large number of people in the councils area!

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Surely if there is a second referendum the best idea is for everyone to get out and vote. If and when leave gets a better result than the first time round it will be hard for the remainers to claim leave is not the will of the people.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    The Wasps supporter at work who repeats any old rubbish Wasps say as fact reckons they’re giving out 15K free tickets for the next home game. Guess it must be their equivalent of our community day.

    And don’t forget Coventry is the European City of Sport next year. Will look great if in the same year the football club ceases to exist.

    Cardiff Devils on Boxing Day or Nottingham Panthers on Saturday 29th (7pm so doesn't clash our home game at the Ricoh) are probably your best bets.

    If you were a citizen of Coventry and not a city fan would you not be concerned about the loss of the millions in economic benefits having a professional football club brings to the city each year? Or the loss of all the work Sky Blues in the Community does?

    Reckon any of them fancy some game time in League 1 for the second half of the season?

    Things that annoy you

    'sorry if our microphones have picked up any offensive language'. Its football, don't put microphones everywhere if you don't want to pick it up.

    16 year old murdered in Wood End

    Thought the difference was to do with intent to kill. Hard to see how you can not be intending to kill someone if you're waving a gun around.

    Old Leamintonians/Wasps

    Blows my mind that other sports look at the financial mess in football and decide that is the route to go down. Premiership rugby can't even say its a historical issue, its a new league and clubs only turned pro a few years back. Every opportunity to set it up sustainably for a secure long term...

    Old Leamintonians/Wasps

    This is one of the most mental plans I've ever heard of in any sport. Selling your league to a third party is just asking for trouble. Look how many clubs have huge problems because of the owners they end up with, now imagine if it was the whole league. You can't put the genie back in the...

    Old Leamintonians/Wasps

    Its definitely been reported before elsewhere. Something along the lines of the players weren't happy that the facilities they were promised haven't materialised so have clauses in their contracts allowing them to leave if Wasps don't come good on their promises.

    That's how the Pompey trust took over. There was another bid that would have got those owed money more back but the FL said they'd only consider issuing the golden share to the trust.
