If it was anything particularly interesting they would be releasing the news immediately in case the Observer got in on it first. You don't sit on major news no matter how tinpot the organisation.

Presumably something embargoed but what gets announced at 5am?!

My guess would be naming rights but that's not big news that will get everyone talking. Same would apply to a concert.

Something Fisher knows about or is the timing of the fans forum coincidental?

Some interesting news may be coming out from a liquidator in the next few weeks.

Nothing else to announce as I did that one months ago.
Anyway at 5am in the morning the only thing worth announcing would be a surprise erection.
Mind you these days the Mrs would sooner read the Coventry Telegraph.

That's when the papers get shipped out from the Fort to local newsagents, so effectively when they go on sale.

That will cause Wasps trouble. With other things going on the Wasp,Ricoh, us scenario has been put to one side for now. Wasps need local support

It won't be about seats, I don't think changing the seats is high priority for them. Where's the return on investment for it? They're not made of money.

So it turns out that London Wasps are insolvent as pointed out by the Coventry Observer back in April of last year? Some "exclusive" eh?

They aren't insolvent are they as, unlike CCFC, the value of their assets (including the Ricoh) exceed their liabilities?

A decent story from Simon and proves that Wasps need us more than they make out, I'm not sure that our bargain basement rent of £100k a year will make much of a dent in that black hole though. So perhaps that's why Wasps are playing hard ball at the moment as they want CCFC to pay more.

They'll just refinance it.
As long as they can pay the high interest rate investors will continue to be happy.

That's the news? They need to re finance because they can't pay it?

If I cant pay my debts and have to 'refinance' them, most people would consider me to be 'insolvent'. I fail to see how it's any different for a London Rugby club.

What a shock I am no expert but surely anybody could have seen this coming, it is a minority sport followed by a group of rather strange folk. The arena is a money pit that was rushed and built badly and the builders got away with lots because the council were involved.

The person who has just commented about the telegraph not backing London Wasps needs to have a good luck at himself.

To refinance they would have to raise a lot of money for something that is making a loss. High risk loans comes at a high interest rate.

It is all good owning your own stadium. But it comes at a cost. And as it is too big for us where we are now it is a good thing financially that we don't own it. It would cost us about half of our playing budget for the upkeep.

Atrociously written article stating the obvious that Wasps may need to refinance the bond.
Blow me down with a feather! Is that the 'solid journalism' that the narcissist was referring to?

Wasn't this said by nearly everyone other than wasps wankers, that they won't be able to pay this. They have to pay back 35m + interest by the year 2022, it was never feasible.

I happened to be up just after 5am. Checked the CT and thought that can't be it, must be something else on the way.
