If they start digging the footings on the Uni stadium tomorrow I'll chill out about the Ricoh but we all know that that day is a long way off at best.

How is that?. The club had a deadline to say where it’s playing and after EFL have allowed the club to extend it, the club have come back and said it will be St. Andrews and EFL have accepted.

That’s not them taking sides on wasps v ccfc, that’s them content with ccfc playing home games “somewhere”

Fair play to Boddy.
Direct and to the point.
Calling wasps bluff by saying paperwork is there.
Had been all this talk of decent relations below ownership level.
Can't see a way back for the 2 clubs "relationship".

He was asking about the EFL confirming there was a deadline.

If you look all the way through, they have been kept up to date and involved in discussions. Pretty sure if Wasps were ringing CCFC for a deal a minute before the deadline then the EFL would have been told about it.

It's so simple now... Wasps come out and say ok cool NDA is dropped and we then get to see everything and know the truth.

Wasps refuse to drop the NDA and then
logically everything boddy has said the last two days is confirmed to be true

If they do refuse then the fucking local media better ask questions as to why otherwise they are as complicat

See this gets to me aswell. People saying they want their bricks back. And whilst fully understandable, just do it then. What are they going to do if 50 odd people turn up one night and dig the fuckers out? Cant see WMP giving a shit

Thinking slightly outside the box, what happens if we as fans by a bond or 2 each. The bonds are secured on the stadium. My hope is that SISU have been gradually buying them but if enough fans bougjt a couple of the bonds each we could have a lot of influence in the next year

Boddy is the man- the way he kept his mouth shut when Peterborough, Tranmere et al were embarrassing themselves publicly, now he drops a few home truths on these slippery fucking Wasps people.

I don’t know how he has kept his patience this long if this is the kind of cuntishness that Wasps use when taking part in “talks”. He’s a better man than me for sure- all these games by them since he joined us, I’d have totally lost the plot with them already and turned a few tables over in these meetings.

No idea what happens now, but it feels like a kind of victory to at least get some truth out there.

if we go bust those bricks will probably get rendered over and some wasps shit put on top of them.
We may never be at the Ricoh again.
If it worries you that much we'll have a whip round and get a professional advise on removal!

Fuck it, I’m in!

What have you heard about Richardson G?
By all accounts I have said for a long time that they are not on a good financial footing and this was pre Covid.

Even those with little Rugby knowledge can see that clubs with a solid loyal fan base are struggling, (those without the huge debt that Wasps are carrying) and are in a financial mire, so it pleases me no end to see the financial abyss that Wasps are heading for. No crowds, large overheads at the stadium and no concerts etc at the stadia to raise much needed cash, oh my heart bleeds!

Personally I think Boddy a man of few carefully chosen words has spoken to speak out speaks volumes.

I am up for supporting the boys at St Andrews after this for sure but it is essential that plans for new ground do develop and are regularly communicated I personally think we should give up on Ricoh or at least adopt that mindset so that new ground is focused on 100% and developed with regular communication with fans showing tangible progress.

Grendel where do you stand on this now? Leaning more towards the owners or wasps/council? I suppose we could all say neither but have to say in recent times I'm with Sisu and Boddy so will get my conditional support but we need constant updates one new stadium plans.

I do think regardless if people can see there way to supporting Mark Robins and the boys when they can at St Andrews it will go a long way!
I think MR and the boys will need all the support they can get form us in coming months.

I'd be annoyed if somebody with the brick near ours tried to get them out and ruined it to be honest.

I don't want it to be there, I don't want to risk fucking other people's up.

If we know somebody who can get them all out cleanly then lets do it! Just didn't want to go at them with a hammer and chisel.

Boddy added:

“Throughout my three-and-a-half-year career at the club, Wasps have consistently and flagrantly ignored critical deadlines set for us by the EFL and treated them and those deadlines with disrespect. In fact, they only instructed solicitors to act for them on Monday morning when they were well aware of the Monday 5pm deadline.

“It happened regularly when we agreed the one-year extension to our last license for the 2018-19 season. The EFL have been nothing but supportive during the whole period of time I have been at the Club.”
Click to expand...
I used to have a contact at ACL, they've left now as they said it turned into an old boys club, but this is entirely consistent with what they've told me in the past regarding the way Wasps have treated the club as I've mentioned before on here. We have to battle for everything and get changed extra for any little thing that's specified in the contract.

If you were a local journalist surely you're straight on the phone to the EFL, "did you inform Wasps of the deadline". Its a simple yes or no question with no ambiguity and surely can't be against an NDA as its not actually part of negotiations.

@Tom Leach any comment? Surely as a Coventry city fan you will be pressuring your employer to ask wasps to drop the NDA (maybe even help run a campaign about it )
