Are you really that naïve? What do you think the response would be if Nick suggested everyone goes to the Ricoh and gives Wasps some stick? Personally I don't see it being a thread full of people agreeing followed by the Trust / JHW / CT backing the protest. I fully expect the response would be...

The more Gilbert responds on twitter justifying releasing this 'news' yesterday the more it seems he's been played. His comment about taking it to Europe is inaccurate isn't it? This isn't the legal case SISU lost recently being appealed to Europe.

To be fair Coventry Council are notorious for trying to avoid wasting taxpayers money on trips to Europe. Not like they disappear off to Cannes every year and then refuse to report back on their visit.

Reid has tweeted that he hasn't reported on it due to confidentiality issues around the Ricoh talks and has described it as a misleading leak from one side.

Not sure I agree with that. I would expect a journalist, if being fed information, to question why that information is being passed to them. Is it because someone deems there's a public right to know or is the journalist being played. That would apply even more when its a story that has in the...

Only had a quick google but that's how it seems to me. You make a complaint and then that's it. Not like a legal case where you put your side and have to provide evidence, you just point the finger and the EC goes off and does its own investigation.

It means they won't even decide if they're going to look into it or not for 7 years.

This has been rumoured in the past but the rumour was that as well as being long term there was a significant increase in the rent. While going season to season is a pain signing up for anything that does allow a break clause of something in the region of 5 years could give its own problems...

When the council & Wasps told him.

For a club that now claims to have been nomadic and close to going out of business without their own stadium the way their fans relish the problems facing the football club says a lot about rugby supporters. Even our biggest rivals, well apart from Sunderland with their made up rivalry, don't...

Luckily if you live in Coventry you never see them!

From past experience we all know what happens then. The fans all splinter off into small groups arguing over who is to blame and you end up with a protest attended by a handful of people. It needs the trust, who are keen to keep reminding everyone they are the biggest fans group, to get this...

I'm going to hazard a guess that SISU take their legal advise from lawyers and legal experts rather than football fans :woot:

Wouldn't be the first time either. There was the time the club were working on the deal that had just ended. They said they were expecting to make an announcement before Xmas as the deal was pretty much done then Wasps took it off the table and it went to the last minute. Not to mention when...

So basically the same rubbish Gilbert has put out and nothing they've confirmed for themselves. No reason the complaint to the European Commission made in February should cause talks that have been going on for the last three weeks. As far as I'm concerned if Wasps & the council are putting...

The point is this story broke late yesterday and Wasps claimed to have no knowledge of it. The twitter accounts all fired up again 48 hours ago, how did they know something was incoming if its not a coordinated PR move? But your comment is exactly the spin they will put on it and what they want...

Would that be the lease that they voted to extend at the same meeting they voted to sell the Ricoh to Wasps but which is now claimed by the council to be completely unrelated to the sale and a totally separate issue?

Its clearly co-ordinated, only have to look at the accounts that fired up in the 48 hours before Gilbert dropping this out. If, as Sky are now claiming, talks have collapsed, what are the odds that its Wasps who have pulled out and this has been put out to get ahead of the story and have...

Complete non-story then. Just Gilbert shit stirring. Will not be happy him spouting off yesterday has impacting on the talks for the club to play at the Ricoh next season.

If correct the key question is did the talks stop before or after Gilbert started stirring things up.
