Major investors = the collective term for people buying tickets

Oh, and on top of this point, those on Drunken Wasps who have dreams of letting the Arena out for 25 occasions a year when CCFC move out, dream fucking on.

The reality is that Ricoh is not an attractive venue, it's really poorly located. Being convenient for the motorway isn't much use a lot of the time. These sort of events people generally want to go out on the beer and drop in when they like, Ricoh does not support that.

Daniel Gidney is / was a Thatcherite (i remember reading a nauseating interview with him, might have been in a CCFC programme or the CT where he talked about her being his hero). The local Tories will be well behind the Wasps project, after all, rugby is not a proletarian sport like football.

They wanted to talk to Wasps about a longer term deal last year but Wasps restricted it to a year.

What did they have to do?

What's best for the club is to meekly surrender to Wasps, that's basically what you're saying.

This is news but isn't unexpected. I'm not sure if Wasps were banking on SISU not taking the club out of Coventry again.

That statement should read after day 1 of them coming in. This was inevitable at one point or another, even with different owners there was likely to become a point where a beneficial deal to stay at the Ricoh could not be agreed.

They have no jurisdiction over Wasps or the Council

Yes but in their defence we're in the middle of the country, our longest possible trip is significantly less than theirs, offset against being at a higher level etc.
