    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    Don't think they've got to that level of specific detail yet. Mentioned Shrewsbury's new ground as an example (I've not been), although ours would be bigger and a better shade of blue. Reason for 4 sided was that it's easily expandable. Would be expandable upwards and could fill in corners to...

    You can assure them this is definitely not the case. We approached them, not the other way round.

    I'd be happy to also attend if they'd allow it. We shall see. If it's one of us then Pete is definitely best placed to be the guy.

    Definitely not me. I'm tight. She did mention that actually. It's been a few years since I've been there with living out of Coventry. I forget what a fantastic place it is.

    We've been given them already, but thanks for the offer.

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    I see your avatar, then re-read the question and wonder if I should be concerned? I see Pete's answered a bit later on so I won't double answer. I just want to say that Pete will definitely be able to outrun me but he'd be worth the extra effort.

    They've taken place in the past, though not as often as you'd like to think by the sounds of it. Personally, I think Pete should just handcuff one arm to Joy and one arm to Derek Richardson until they sort it out. :)

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    My reading of this is that they moved on from the initial idea (which has now essentially been shelved, in terms of original POC, etc.). I think they'd have liked part ownership of the Ricoh, but Wasps don't have that in their plans. They talked a bit about having academy & training ground...

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    We're trying to do this the right way. CCFC & Sisu agreed for us to communicate. Wasps haven't yet, but there's not been the same level of conversation, not yet at least. Try to be patient and understand conversations are happening to try to get the same from Wasps.

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    With respect, your point is being lost a little because there's now 7 pages of you ranting and people ranting back at you. If you want me to raise anything specific with the club or answer anything specific on our meeting then drop me and Pete a PM, because I'm losing the will to live a bit with...

    To be fair, it's about the least important couple of lines in the whole thing.

    Other than to drop the link on I've not checked back in there yet.

    It's my first published work. Lol.

    Can't argue with this. A ground should be a long term goal. Ricoh should still be short term - and for next season.

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    That's your opinion, you're entitled to that and I'm not going to try to sway you from it. All I can say is there was a clear desire, and acknowledgment, from everyone involved that the club needs to be playing in Coventry next season. There are obstacles to overcome that aren't just about the...

    I'm not offering any opinion on it personally, just reporting what was said. Everyone is free to come to their own conclusions.

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    Probably a bit late, but I'm keen for this to not turn into a bun fight. Shmmeee raises some relevant questions, we'll try to answer as best we can when we get chance but both have work commitments today. In fairness, I've only seen one comment relating directly to the OP that isn't at least...

    Actually, to correct, I asked them to clarify and they said the target for a new stadium would be 5 years but it's early stages and things can change. Sites, etc are commercially sensitive so couldn't be discussed. As you say, more can be asked in future.

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    I've already answered, I'm not sure how to make it clear. They feel there's a case to be answered, so they wouldn't withdraw anyway. But it can't be withdrawn, so it's a moot point. You may not like the answer, but it was asked.
