Because wasps wouldn’t drop the indemnity before time ran out.

How on earth could anybody justify a private company introducing an indemnity for a local authority into negotiations with another private company? And who in their right mind would agree to indemnify a local authority against which they had raised a complaint? No wonder wasps insisted on an NDA...

So is the only way to return to pre intervention state a process returning the Ricoh to CCC and for them to re-market it, selling to highest bidder? If an agreement to indemnify wasps in place, Sisu win the bid and have to reimburse wasps for their associated losses, sisu lose the bid and have...

How would an indemnity mean you can’t remedy the state aid? If the remedy was an order requiring wasps to pay the value of the state aid given (e.g. a sum equalling an undervaluation of the Ricoh), then wasps would pay it. Remedy accomplished, state repaid. If an indemnity was in place, wasps...

Well done and well deserved.

A genuine question, is there any particular reason why most of your posts pin the blame for everything/ casts aspersions on CCFC/ SISU rather than wasps or the council?

Given that one thing leads to another, any scenario at any given time is a consequence of all that has gone before it. The council’s duplicity certainly contributed to creating the current scenario. Wasps are not innocent bystanders by any means, they must have thought they were getting the...

I wonder what the cost benefit analysis would be in a case where you return, rent and then have to stump up an indemnity if the basis of a complaint that has been made is upheld. As opposed to renting elsewhere and stumping up nothing If the complaint is upheld. Especially if what you might...

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. It’s different for the club. i can get coming back when you think you might be able to own the stadium, but not if you know you can’t.

I missed out that, when we came back part way through a season before, we didn’t know about wasps and almost certainly ,y had an expectation that there was a chance of owning the Ricoh. That is a very significant difference to the position now.

Just because we were able to move back in 2014 doesn’t necessarily mean we could do that again. Depends on deal with BCFC, the attitude of the EFL (we are in a higher league and we have now experienced the effect of wasps primacy in terms of rearrangement of fixtures) and in any event would need...

It was CCC when we came back from Sixfields. At that precise moment of our return, Councillor Thompson said that there was still a route to stadium ownership for CCFC. A matter of weeks later the sale to wasps was announced, clearly well in to the pipeline when we returned. Our return was...

I wonder who the “several parties” were who signed the NDA?

I’m not sure that arguing over the technicalities is fruitless, they can often be the entire basis of lawsuits.

IF the Ricoh was sold undervalue, as per the EU complaint, then -yes - CCC have propped up the wasps financially

The comments which describe what happened last year (indemnity, time wasting etc.) last year and saying the same things happened this time around.

I w I would imagine wasps will be getting their lawyers to assess whether the nda has been broken by Boddy’s comments.

The EFL have the decision, St Andrews.

I’m not going to ask for a refund and can’t wait till I can get my season ticket for our return to the Chamionship - whenever and wherever that may be.

Not beyond any cost of submitting the complaint. This isn’t legal action by sisu, and if any action is taken it will be by the EU or European court. There could be further action by sisu if the complaint was upheld, perhaps for damages.
