Shortly before 9am this morning we received an email entitled 'Major Ricoh Arena announcement'.

This will be made by the Wasps Group, with the invitation saying it will 'have an impact on the city of Coventry and the wider region.'

The media call starts at 11.30am, and we will have a reporter in attendance.

It’s the Coventry Building Society Arena, you heard it here first.

Wasps leaving the city for good!
Wishful thinking on my part but would be wonderful

Gary Hoffman wont go away!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Looks like Sheaf was there at the Ricoh yesterday....


Also I think I see Hilssner.

Evans-Harriott is absolutely tiny, looks about 14!

Probably ETC Rainsbrook uniform then, rather than Onley or Rye Hill!

 

[Tommo1993]

Is there any way we could abbreviate that mouthful?

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Is there any way we could abbreviate that mouthful?

Probably the CBS Arena.

Surley not

 

[rob9872]

Cov Building society staff have been informed by email its them - 10 year deal

Not a commercial institution though so wouldn't that have to have been approved by it's members (customers) first? If genuinely local I would have thought Jaguar is the only show in town - unless it's the Council of course!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Isn't Cov Building Society still a mutual that thrives on acting in the best interests of its members? Not sure how you align that with spunking money up the wall of sponsoring a sports stadium

 

[torchomatic]

If they call it ‘the nest’ I’m going on some sort of rampage.

I don't know. Cuckoo's Nest would be appropriate.

 

[rob9872]

I'd also hate to think Wasps being propped up by a local Coventry business, would certainly leave a sour taste in the mouth.

At least Cov BS have the same colours as us!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Wheatsheaf stadium

 

[Nick]

Let's face it, everybody will still call it the Ricoh

 

[rob9872]

I don't know. Cuckoo's Nest would be appropriate.

To be CCFC would surely have to be the Crow's Nest

Gary Hoffman strikes again!

Yeah great point to be fair. Now's the time to do it if they're going to do it. They'll have to spend some money on it now.

 

[skyblu3sk]

It's all about them not being known very well outside of the area essentially it is marketing which will make them more successful in the long run which in turn benefits its members.

This bit is interesting:

We’d have to re-sign Sara, as it could then be Juan flew over the...ah forget it!

 

[Nick]

Oh and if it is Cov Building Society, good to see Hoffman helping out his mates.....

 

[fernandopartridge]

This bit is interesting:

Isn't that just the usual spiel about what an impact Wasps has on the community

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

This bit is interesting:

That's what I thought, what could they call it to have an impact on the wider area?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Let's face it, everybody will still call it the Ricoh

Yeah, I still call Boltons stadium, the Reebok.

 

[Nick]

Isn't that just the usual spiel about what an impact Wasps has on the community

Well yeah! ha

 

[CovUpNorth]

It’s the Coventry Building Society Arena, you heard it here first.

See my post

 

[covhead1]

The Mental arena?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Yeah, I still call Boltons stadium, the Reebok.

It isn’t?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I don't think it'll be abbreviated to the CBS arena either.

Although the branding on the roof of the exhibition hall and the big red Ricoh lettering on the stadium will be a ball ache to replace with such large letters!

 

[fernandopartridge]

It is 100% guaranteed the Cov Building Society Arena, i've seen conclusive evidence of it
