I don't think any of it should come as a surprise. Since Lucas has been in charge she has consistently said they will listen to any offers for the Ricoh. Seems SISU have banked on nobody else being interested.

It looks like the total cost of getting a 250 year lease on the Ricoh is way below the cost for building an on the cheap stadium. Not putting an offer in seems crazy, it was clearly stated in the meeting there is still time for SISU to put their bid in, hopefully they've taken note of that and...

That's the key quote so far. SISU need to get a bid in and buy the stadium themselves.

You could do the multi-coloured seats trick, that also isn't as obviously empty when shown on TV

You're spot on but if it goes tits up and Wasps go bust I imagine there would be some provision for it to revert to CCC. It's basically what we've been saying to SISU, you don't need to own the freehold to get all the benefits but they keep insisting you do.

Think it means the senior team will be based in Cov and the academy is Wycombe or wherever it is now. Can't see that lasting, eventually it will all be based in Cov.

I can't see that being kept in place permanently, eventually the RFU will quietly drop that requirement I'd imagine.

Not much to ask is it. I don't really care who owns the ground or who gets the money when there's a gig there - most other clubs don't have that kind of income. All I want is us to be there on a sustainable long term deal and get access to the revenues we generate.

Think they need to make a stronger statement than that. You can't say you're moving out but should be involved in discussions anyway. Just come out and say our first choice is to stay at the Ricoh long term with an ownership stake. They don't even need to stop talking bollocks about the new...

Letter seems spot on to me. No one really seems to know what is happening so a chance to breath and hold some consultation would be good.

They should still submit a bid in my opinion. At the moment we're a bit in limbo as everything the club is saying states they are building their own stadium and have no interest in the Ricoh. If they said our first choice is an ownership stake in the Ricoh and here is an offer at the very least...

Blimey, away from the forum for a few hours and there's thousands of posts! To save me reading them all are we screwed or not or do we still not know whats going on?

Hope they're better at email than Byng!

Did either of those get an answer from Fisher?

Surely if they need primacy it will be in the contract they've just singed with ACL? I think this kind of thing is distracting from the bigger issues. Is Fisher trying to sidetrack people by getting them whipped up about things that can easily be resolved (already been said tonight that Wasps...

And it was only last week his boss was saying they had no interest. If they could all get their stories straight it would be a start.

What happens when we're top of the PL and Sky want to put our game on every Sunday?

Which makes the point even stronger, the less Wasps are actually paying the less sense it makes for SISU to build a new ground rather than make a similar offer.

Maybe we could nick Pompey's plan to build one in the sea

Can you ask Fisher how many turkeys it takes to make an eagle.
