There is also the bit where it was said that the council wanted to keep their 50% of ACL as "they saw it as a long term community investement". Well, if a week is a long time in politics, then I suppose another two years could be counted as "a long term investment". Think the "bleating" of...

Pretty much the same cash price on offer now, or more with £1.5million down, and £4million to be paid over 10 years. They would have been after a 125 year lease(not the 250 years that Wasps have got), and would also have been taking over the loan like Wasps are. The highlighted part of the...

The option of buying into the Stadium(not club) was refused by Higgs, though better than what has been offered now by Wasps. You're a shameless stooge and shill.

True colours being shown by some now Ashdown.

I'd suggest that a rather smaller proportion of the populace want to watch Wasps "live" either in their home or ours to be honest. Though there are a few unprincipled souls who will appreciate it i expect, just not enough to make them viable.

The reason why "World Class" was in quotes because it is a description used by many to describe the Arena. The Wasps offer is no better, in fact looks worse than the one that Sisu made for 50% of ACL before all the court cases and move to Northampton. Have the council, with the sale to a Rugby...

Really? When was that then?

Surely if the council were going to sell such a profitable and succesfull, "World Class" facility, then it would have been their duty to the ratepayers to publically put the sale of the leasehold up for competititve tender? Doing a deal behind closed doors, with one party is hardly doing that...

Aren't you pissed off that the Ricoh was offered to Wasps rather than Nuneaton?

Shouldn't people be thinking that Sisu offered pretty much what Wasps have offered, except for only 50% of the Ricoh with a much shorter lease, yet it was turned down and now been offered to a Rugby Club from miles away? All the talk of wasted money on court cases etc would be moot as they...

Aren't Higgs actually looking to get less money that Sisu offered them in the first place for their share? To be honest, even if the the club got the Higgs share, would still not be happy with the Wasps franchising part of it anyway.

Worth it to get him onboard just have a Miss Sylvia Wang involved in the club to be honest.

Don't forget "Community Asset", "Local Childrens Charity", and "Respected High Court Judge".

You show more and more sympathy for Sisu by the post.

Not BSB is it? Not that one, the other one!

Conveniently forgetting we had been a professional football club for over a 100 years without going bust, but effectively gone bust twice since moving into the Ricoh Arena, the first time bringing the Sisu shysters in in the first place. Surely in your "it's only business" case, Sisu would be...

Wasps got shafted by previous owners and sold their own ground for housing, they then had to rent another ground unsuitable for them that has lead to heavy losses, and have had to now move miles from their fanbase. Glad nothing like that could ever happen to us!

Just changing a few words puts a whole new perspective on it, the change of words shouldn't affect your sentiment or core arguments though. Should it?

Nowhere as good as us, Coventry gets £6miilion pumped into the local economy with just 28,000 Rugby Fans apparently.
