PWKH was asked on here, wouldn't confirm the exact details but did say that the figure generally thrown around for the Higgs 50%, which was £10m, was about right.

This is from the Telegraph in October last year: So that would date that as around October 2013.

Are you suggesting Reeves and West had no idea CCC were at a very advanced stage of negotiations with Wasps?

I think they would have, I think they would have also settled for a 50/50 partnership with Wasps hence the bid they made for Higgs share. Of course that was never on the cards as Wasps wanted to load debt against the stadium to pay themselves back, I dread to think about the meltdown there would...

Bit of a random change, guess there must be something on at the Ricoh but they don't have anything listed.

Guess it depends how much those in charge of the sport want it to be clean. Do they actually want the athletes to be clean or do they just want to be able to cover themselves by saying we have a testing system in place. Was reading an article about the rugby world cup and apparently there's...

Well for all we know they did ask for longer. Of course you have to rememeber that when the 2 + 2 was agreed the talk was of rebuild the relationship and the club eventually owning the stadium. Perhaps there was an expectaion that the 2 + 2 was enough time for that. Of course we now know that...

Not after the 2 + 2 after the initial 2 which means at the end of this season Wasps can kick is out.

Remember at the time the line from the ACL / CCC side was that this was the beginning of rebuilding the relationship with a view to the club owning the ground in the future, while in reality they knew they had already agreed to sell it to Wasps.

This is from Wasps share prospectus:

My understanding is FL regulations require a certain number of spaces be provided by the club, for use by scouts, away players, media partners etc. These are those closest to the ground. I suspect they don't form park of the regular car park offering, although I suppose the club could just buy...

Because he was really likely to tell you they had that clause but in as they intended to screw us over down the line!

You can't have it all ways. You can't on the one hand say we shouldn't bother about the other incomes and just hope for the best but then say we would be making a lot of money for Wasps! How would we be making a lot of money for Wasps? In the past we have seen the margins on F&B and other such...

Seeing as there is an article in the Telegraph every time they sell a few tickets they have been very silent on how the season ticket sales are going.

There is zero chance that at the point we signed the new deal those on the ACL side didn't know about Wasps takeover. There is every chance Wasps asked for a clause to be inserted for their benefit and ACL added it on their behalf.

You certainly can but its a lot easier with steroids. Also if you cycle steroids correctly it can be tricky for you to get caught by a test. Unless they are turning up at peoples houses, gyms etc and doing random tests you could be on steroids and not be caught. Do they only test when they are...

There seems to be this idea from some that Wasps can't do without us and will be accomodating to our needs. I'm not sure how true that is. From what we are led to believe we are paying rent of £100K a year. That equates to £4,347 per game if we don't get any home cup draws, less if we do. We...

I would imagine the worst that would happen is you'd have the pay the extra.

The difference would be if you were a football fan from Coventry you would have grown up either supporting us or, as you say, one of the big Premier League teams. Surely the same applies here, if you were a rugby fan from Coventry wouldn't you have grown up either supporting CRFC or, if as you...

Just been back to look at exactly what Lucas said when she sold the stadium to Wasps. Not sure that gives us much comfort. Clearly she wanted it to be interpreted that there was no problem for us but you could easily take it as Wasps have to honour the 4 year deal and can then do what we like...
