EFL cannot enforce their regulations on a team from outside their organisation unless both teams are under the same ownership such Bristol or the football club owns the ground. In this case what Sky wants is irrelevant as Wasps are tied into contractual agreements with BT Sports through the PRL . If Wasps have agreed to give CCFC primacy as part of the deal then that's completely different.
Surely we should be happy just to be back in COVENTRY. Please just let's see what agreement the 2 sides have come to all we want is a decent pitch to play football on. The primacy bit and Sunday don't think we can dictate that and don't remember playing an excessive amount last time.
If CCFC haven't got primacy (and we don't know that they haven't) the EFL may not be happy about it but you know as well as I do they won't appose the move back. Just like most sports organisations they only try to enforce their regulations when it suits them
Bloody hell are the RAF search & rescue team looking for him then ?
Not sure what is so hard to understand about this, the EFL cannot enforce their regulations on a stadium owner and their team that plays a completely different sport for a different organisation. As for "they made an exception last time" they had no choice as the team that is part of there organisation was a tenant that had use of a stadium as and when the owners weren't using it. this time around it might be different Wasps may well have agreed primacy as part of the deal but if they haven't the EFL cannot enforce it.
Not sure what’s so hard to understand that it’s exactly the same situation at every other stadium with clubs sharing and it works fine there. Play on opposite weekends.
I'm not disagreeing with you, just trying to point out that the EFL cannot dictate when Wasps can and can't play in the stadium. absolutely no reason why the fixture list can't be done to accommodate both teams but as we saw last time there will be fixture clashes because both the PRL & EFL will compile their fixtures independently. If its not made public who has primacy it will become obvious very quickly when the fixtures are released as the secondary club will have move theirs. common sense would say if four fixtures clash move two each but when has common sense prevailed between Wasps and SISU
Majority of Wasps fans I know are and have always been more than happy to CCFC playing at the Ricoh
Genuine question, primacy was agreed for the football club as part of the terms when CCC sold to Wasps was this before the move to Northampton?
Ok didn't word it very well and i'm not a clear on the timelines a you guys. Did the
from a website you show screen shot of comments of two people what does that prove. The Once a Wasp forum is exactly the same as one here, some people are sensible and some are dickheads.
But the EFL can say they won't authorise a groundshare if CCFC don't have primacy. We all know that is unlikely as the EFL aren't great at enforcing the rules but its not correct to say it cannot happen.
As you say if everyone acts like adults this shouldn't be an issue but that wasn't the case last time round when we had multiple games moved, something which I would suggest may well have impacted the attendance at those games. Fingers crossed we don't get treated like second class citizens if the news of a return is true.EFL said:
