I have concerns about what is essentially blackmail being used to try and force a legal challenge against a public body to be withdrawn when it involved Wasps. If it doesn't involve them there is no excuse for them then using that as a reason for not allowing the club to stay at the Ricoh...

Personally I will be pissed off if him revealing this leads to talks collapsing. The local media were quite happy to keep the councils bailout of ACL out of the spotlight to allow that to go through, why not apply the same standard to the football club? The 'in the public interest' argument is...

Will wait for more to emerge before panicking. Gilberts already changed his story once and it was only a few days ago he was telling us the Ricoh deal was all done so will take this with a pinch of salt. If there is something to it we have to see what the detail is. Not worth panicking over...

How cringeworthy. Would be embarrassed if we did something like that.

Wasn’t Martin Reeves, formerly a senior figure at ACL and currently Chief Exec of Cov Council also Chief Exec of the West Midlands Combined Authority at one point?

I get that but Wasps have done it with 2 of their 3 biggest sponsorship opportunities. Only the naming rights of the stadium remain which they can’t sell. Seems the work they are getting done in return is relatively low cost.

Why do all Wasps sponsorship deals seem to not involve them getting any money? First it was the WiFi with Ericsson and now getting a decent phone signal with Vodafone. You could get the impression that Wasps don’t have the money to carry out the required works themselves.

No it’s not. From memory it was something like ACL thought they were being clever and could get Haskell in as a new owner but it turned out assets that constitute the football club, things like the golden share that was ‘lost’ and player registrations, were in another company. Buying the...

What happened to being the richest club in Europe? Even the biggest Wasps fan can’t spin this as anything but bad news, no money to bring in players and can’t even offer a contract to a coach without getting special permission.

I'm not a big drinker. Mainly as I've got older then hangovers last longer! Plus like you say if you drink at gigs at things like that you can easily spend a small fortune. For gigs I often volunteer to drive, better than messing around with public transport and makes not drinking easy.

Hope someone knows where the golden share is.

Huge game for Team GB coming up in a few minutes on Freesports. They're in the top tier of the IIHF World Championships for the first time in 25 years and a couple of Blaze players are in the squad. Tonight they go up against Canada and in all honesty they'll be doing well to stop Canada...

To be fair most Wasps tickets are free so it doesn't make much difference! You can get a duplicate ticket on a match day if you forget your season ticket so its possible for them to print one out and cancel it off the card. Don't see why the club would be unhelpful, they seem much better on this...

One game last season when they were checking tickets I accidentally showed them my Blaze season ticket, not a word - just waved through.

Why is it so low? I get that maybe not every season ticket holder can go but surely you'd be expecting one of your biggest crowds of the season not the smallest. £20 a ticket according to their website so can't blame the prices.

Danny Baker being investigated by police over racist royal baby tweet

You can get high quality home CCTV these days. People already post the pictures on facebook or other social media and the culprit is identified. Won't be long before someone decides to sort things themselves as the police aren't interested.

It wouldn't work if it was every week. Would be like Wasps, first couple of games people would lap it up then they'd get bored and move on to something else. Would also cost the club and we know what that would mean, a cut to the playing budget. We'd have to pay to open additional blocks and...

He left while we were at Northampton and we had only been back for a matter of weeks before the ground was sold to Wasps.

All true but what is interesting is this is the person they've wheeled out in the past to deflect bad news. If the penny has dropped for him has it for others?
