Not sure how a roof and some windows will make them any money, let alone the Coventry area!
Not sure how a roof and some windows will make them any money, let alone the Coventry area!Would be good to know the return it will give to Coventry in general after the Commonwealth games and how it was justified? Especially to take a decent chunk of the funding up too.
Any minutes from the council meeting where it was decided?

What I'm surprised at is why you guys are surprised. CCC invited Wasps to the Ricoh and part of that agreement would be if Wasps got into financial difficulty. CCC would never let Wasps go under, whereas our City football club can.
How do we go about putting in a state aid complaint? Let’s avoid the club doing it - can the fans do it?
The get-out clause I imagine is that the council still own the freehold?
minimal coverage in the Telegraph considering how excited they get about anything involving wasps.
I wonder if even they think this is a total piss take?
Aren’t we still in transition?Would that even be allowed? Haven't we left the EU now?
How did that meeting go?Not sure how a roof and some windows will make them any money, let alone the Coventry area!
How did that meeting go?
"Lads, we're losing millions every year, any ideas what we can do"
"Put a roof over the stairs"
"Brilliant, that will do the trick"
What's that got to do with the price of butter?In which case what do they get from Wasps in return?
How much is my council tax going up to pay for that?It'll be interesting to see if the seats in the Arena change colour any time soon....
I thought the transition only applied to the Customs Union and Single Market.Aren’t we still in transition?
What's that got to do with the price of butter?
I wouldn't be shocked...It'll be interesting to see if the seats in the Arena change colour any time soon....
Nothing, NI or Income tax will though...How much is my council tax going up to pay for that?
What?So CCC just want to needlessly increase the value of the Ricoh for no reason?
What?
What is in it for the council or the tax payers for them to throw over 50% of the purchase cost on the Ricoh. The leasehold is 250 years.
How will the council see any benefit from it? Are they going to asks Wasps to pay towards it?
Yep it’s like our church where there is a responsibility for the building maintenance and the pcc for the ongoing running of the church. If that were so I’d expect some investment from wasps as well as ccc. Huge two fingers to Ccfc thoughThe get-out clause I imagine is that the council still own the freehold?
I hear they're going for the faded sky blue and bird shit effect.It'll be interesting to see if the seats in the Arena change colour any time soon....
This is taking the piss now! Whilst things like the commonwealth games and city of culture should be good for the city the way the council have behaved towards us and the hypocrisy of funding a venue they have sold a long lease on needs calling out. That glass ain’t going to still be up in 250 years time.
Feel like going proper militant, boycott the events, disrupt them, vote out the councillors.
We’ve been playing too nice

Boycott and vote them out by all means but please for the love of all fuck let's not get into disruption as that just plays into the hands of the people who don't want us there as they will use it as an excuse as to why we shouldn't be at the Ricoh.
You can see the headlines now all about thuggish Coventry city fans disrupting things, we are starting to get the message out about the council and wasps so we just need to be patient and let it play out unfortunately
CCC are giving wasps money and CCC will be spending money opposing CCFC having a new stadium. One of those teams is an historical institution that carries the city's name and, if it ever achieved PL promotion again, could possibly be the most recognisable thing about the city in the entire world. One is a nomadic team that doesn't carry the city's name has no connection to the city and are from a fringe sport with no wide appeal that are heavily indebted with an unsustainable business model.
Coventry City Council are the worst thing to ever happen to Coventry City Football Club.
