No idea, but can only assume tweets like that and those that sometimes get sent into CWR are just on the wind up
Is Neil Morley the odd guy on the wasps forum who hates SBT ?
Oh 100%, i'm going to argue its still more relevant than it was last season though!Well you might wat to change your username

Still nothing on the seats and whether they'll be changing colour. Why am I worried about this?!
You can say you're off to the Ricoh and people will know what you're on about. Not sure saying you're off to the Building Society will work the same way!I’ve only ever really said I’m going to the match/game or up the city anyway.
“I’m going to the Ricoh Arena today to watch Coventry City play a football match” doesn’t sound the same.
Doubt they can afford to change the seats, will probably move the dark blue Ricoh seats around to spell CBS. Would you even be able to fit Coventry Building Society in?Still nothing on the seats and whether they'll be changing colour. Why am I worried about this?!
Think the Cherry pickers will be in action fairly promptly.Hope all traces of Ricoh are removed from exterior and interior of the stadium properly and we're not left looking at ghost signage for the next 10 years until we move into the planned new stadium.
Maybe they can stick a couple of new CCFC crests up at the same time so ours is the same size as Wasps. Looks like one of ours has fallen off anyway!Think the Cherry pickers will be in action fairly promptly.
Nah would much rather be at St Andrews until the new stadium is built. Pubs are much better
Pesky sponsorship and re brandings LolTrillion Trophy Stadium you mean?
That’s partly what I meantWe can both move forward and still hold the opinion that Wasps are scum who don't belong in the city. I'll never stop hoping they piss off but its not something I'll let ruin my matchdays.

Surely it’s less likely now than and any point in the last few years?

Plus CBS logo is blue so not like they'll be pushing for a colour change.
A very long winded way of saying they can't afford to change the colour of the seats.I'd say it's more likely. There's a large RICOH in dark seats that needs to come out and need placing...they need to do that. If they need to change those, wouldn't it make sense to do them all at the same time?
CT said:While the iconic 'Ricoh' lettering on the exterior of the stadium is set to go, there are no major plans to the interior of the stadium, aside from switches of name where the old sponsor is used to its successor.
Wasps Group chief executive Stephen Vaughan pointed to the Coventry Building Society's own colour scheme, which incorporates light and dark blue, as a factor in the seats remaining as they ahead of Coventry City's return to the stadium ahead of the 2021/22 Championship season.
"The main change will be obvious," said Mr Vaughan. "It will be when you drive past on the M6 or the A444 you’ll see the name Coventry Building Society and their lovely logo. Everything in the stadium will change where it was Ricoh previously, it will be Coventry Building Society.
"But we’re not going to be changing the colour of the seats, they are what they are, they’re sky blue, as it happens Coventry Building Society is sky blue as well. Our new relationship with Coventry City as well, kind of endorses that.
“Lockdown probably brings these things into focus, I think there are a lot more important things to worry about and to start spending our money on than to start changing the colour of the seats."
Jeff Stelling reporting on Coventry City using the Wasps sponsors name fucks me off.
This and their Hummel deal smacks of those parasites jumping on the back of our Championship status.
Let's hope we're getting more than just a place to play out of our return
I bet the road signs will never be changed in Coventry. In 40 years time you'll still see signposts for 'Ricoh Arena'.
Why? This would all have been priced into the rental agreement assuming someone more competent than a chimp negotiated it. You don’t get it twice.
which is what I mean, they're obviously taking advantage of our return, we need some remuneration in whatever form it takes.
Just had a quick look on their forum to see what they thought of it. They really do live in a dreamland. Talking about how it will drive up support and how we won't be getting a cut as we'll be leaving (we have a 10 year deal and its a 10 year sponsorship so not sure how they've worked that out).
I'm sure there's loads of people who previously never attended that can't wait to go to a Wasps game now the stadium name has changed
Its part of the rent though. Let’s say Arena Park rent a unit to, I dunno, Five Guys. Five Guys will be in that meeting saying “we bring footfall, we bring cache to your shopping centre, give us lower rent”. I’d hope CCFC have already done that.
Stadium road signs - a Freedom of Information request to Stoke-on-Trent City Council
Dear Stoke on Trent City Council, Recently work has been carried out to amend highways road traffic signs in Stoke-on-Trent to direct to "bet365 Stadium" instead of "Britannia Stadium". Can you please therefore answer the following questions under the Freedom of Information Act: 1) What was...www.whatdotheyknow.com
Here's a FoI from Stoke when they changed road signs from Britannia to bet365. The cost was funded by the club, but 365 own them... So perhaps it will be joint funded by CBS & the rugby club.
