From what Boddy is saying there was no option to not play at home for the first few weeks, EFL putting their foot down. To be fair they have given a lot of leeway given its a league requirement to have primacy.

That's true. Any future price would probably reflect that too mind you.

All irrelevant given we're all in on Warwick Uni anyway...

No. It’s never misguided to hate franchising when sport in this country is built on community.

Wasps owners ripped their club away from theirs and tried to exile us from ours.

I don’t give a shit if sisu gave them the opportunity. What they did was fundamentally wrong and I hope it all comes crashing down.

From what Boddy is saying the EFL said every team in the midlands (us, WBA, Walsall etc) had to play the second game at home. I don’t see any situation where Wasps are not held to full accountability for this

I think that was to do with transport and policing issues, no other Midlands club was used as a venue where their pitch was used?
In fact I can’t think of another club who have been involved in this way
Relay (

We'd need to rely on a new train/team line. If that was ever sorted, it could compete with other large concert halls.

You say it's a white elephant, but within 15 years it's been an Olympic, Commonwealth and soon Rugby League World Cup venue. It's also been a go to for stadium sized gigs in the Midlands ahead of the likes of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Nottingham and Leicester.

Absolutely, I can understand the points about location and transport links but hook or by crook it has forged its way in a competitive world in many spheres of usage. More housing is being built close by too making it walkable for more people every year.

it’s made a loss in all but one of the 17 years it’s been there. This is wasps whole argument. It’s a gold mine that needs turning round. It’s joke to think tin pot Sisu can do that

The arena needs to be debt free to be a success.

Sisu are strangely the only entity that gave suggested doing just that.

well if fisher said it everyone would think he’s lying wouldn’t they? Boddy I’ve always said is no better or worse than fisher. He’s on message in exactly the same way it’s just the more gullible get taken in by someone whose at least pretending to look on the fans side

he’s the same aa fisher, Vaughan and Eastwood I hardly think that’s creepy just a fact

Like most things, ‘it’s a fact’ only in your head m8.

However, I do agree it’s possible there’s a game being played (regarding the game not being played)

I wouldn’t disagree with that, he is a kinder face with less baggage than Fisher. I also think that the turnaround in the teams fortunes have been the perfect smokescreen for many of the issues faced but Boddy is a red herring.

I'm not going to weigh in on the anti-Boddy line as he comes across reasonably well, but Fisher is sharper.

and it’s always good to have a positive PR guy delivering the message

Vaughan = Boddy
Eastwood = Fisher

Can’t disagree, the question I would be demanding an answer to is how quickly the pitch can be made playable and when will the longer term issue of the pitch be resolved?

Even if they made the pitch playable it would be detrimental to our style of play

I'm not convinced that the game would have taken place anyway, regardless of the pitch.
I was there at 5pm on Friday and the amount of clobber still left up from the Cwg was astonishing.
I seriously don't believe it could have been removed in time.
