Nah of course not but I'm pretty sure wasps halted negotiations and CCFC have stated they wish to keep the academy at the Higgs which were what I pointed out, both sides agree on the above. These are as close to accepted facts as you can get in this debacle.

Well wasps were the ones who said they stopped negotiations on the ricoh and the csf said they have been told by CCFC that the club wishes to remain at the Higgs and they were now exploring other avenues. So tallies up with the message coming out of the club.

Ok so that's 3 events, still another 20 at least. Probably more once you factor in cup matches And league one also gets score reports from bbc, ssn and highlight shows. A while back I looked at televised numbers between rugby and football and found that even a lot of tinpot league 2 team...

Well you don't if the spend per head is higher than that of a football supporter, but I'm not sure you are going to get 23 of these premium events a year. Not arguing wasps need us but there's no obvious other revenue stream to replace us either should we leave, if we were to leave I suspect...

The owner of Wasps has already gone on record saying he has been surprised at how little protest and resistance from locals there has been to Wasps trying to take over the city.

What other events would guarantee 8-15k viewers for 23 weekends a year?

Spoken like a true coventry fan

Fleck is a good league 1 player, I'm dubious as to if he he could make the step up to the championship

I think it's an irrelevant point going on about the primacy issue, if wasps state they want to play on the Saturday then the football league and rfu will collaborate so our fixtures don't clash and we will still play on the Saturday. The football league can't force ACL to extend our deal at the...

It isn't exactly an unprecedented scenario compared to what happened to us. Quite a few football league teams ground share with rugby clubs, so I think there is an understanding between the football league and the rfu that football takes primacy. Should wasps take the stance that they want...

I think the official reason given for the Fulham match was that the pitch wouldn't be ready, don't take that as fact just what I'm remembering

Steve just confirmed it a few posts back.

Well the original article has no relevance with CCFC so it probably should be moved to off topic at least

Not sure if this is a fact but I'm pretty sure the FL would insist the football club has primacy when collaborating with the rfu to release the fixtures.

It wasn't relevant for CCFC either way, might as well have posted any random news article from the web and said great, no bad news.

2-0 now

Nah not using it as a stick to beat them with, just pointing out its irrelevant to all the people who think its great news,

No the people who did the rugby and the football fixtures would make sure when Wasps had a Saturday fixture at the Ricoh then we would be away that weekend. Exactly how it worked last season.

They did play a lot of Saturday games last season, they didn't just say it they actually did it. Didn't make the slightest difference to us.

Lets say they did want to fuck us over for a minute, they wouldn't openly do it for fear of a public backlash from the locals. If they did want to fuck us over they would do it and spin in it a way which made it look like they weren't the bad guy
