Who would be surprised if they managed to make ot last another couple of years or so?I'm pretty sure Gilbert stated the other week that this is there last chance, but I could be wrong?
Gilbert is a reporter for the CET who gets half of his stories from on here.
We certainly don't.Very true, his headline "Last Chance Saloon" before the last court case was very misleading, so who knows?

supposedly TM wasnt happy he was left out so dipped into the rainy day fund to cement his and joys legacy at ccfc, they got a local artist on the cheap half a ST included in the bargain:
So Grendel is Gilbert?I especially liked his "SISU lost JR1 on purpose" story
So why have they not announced a naming rights deal then? Why does it seem that any deal hinges on CCFC's commitment to the arena?
If CCFC are as big an irrelevance as people like you and Italia say, please tell us all why Wasps haven't managed to secure a deal for naming rights. Despite finishing top of their league. Despite the big name signings.
Football is a lot bigger than rugger. And we may be low down at the moment but something like a 10 year deal with us having the potential to go higher. We have the biggest potential in Division 4. We shouldn't be there too long.....never understand the talk about needing us for naming rights. We are a league two club, one more drop and its non league. They would get more exposure with a couple of huge concerts.
Let's hope that this time we emerge from the right end of the table.Football is a lot bigger than rugger.

Interesting use of the word 'further' in the closing line, but is then instantly shut down with what follows. So which is it? No funds from CCFC have covered legal costs, or no further funds from CCFC to cover legal costs?;
"We can also confirm that Coventry City Football Club is not liable for any further court costs, nor have we paid any costs associated with previous court actions taken by the club owner."
Wasps knew?Wasps knew...
Maybe she could get it made on the cheap from straw and horseshit..I just don't get it.
Surely the more money they throw at legal challenges the less likely Joy's statue will ever be built.

If only they'd throw it in the right direction in the right way!There are plenty more ways to throw good money after bad.
It's probably either just that...undue pressure to delay a deal so Wasps accept a much worse deal - which is a much better one for the club/owners...or there is some perverse financial gain somewhere else that we cannot see.Exactly, now put yourselves in Wasp's shoes are you really wanting to do a new deal with SISU. Would you really want SISU as your tenants for years to come, with the constant worry/threat of further legal actions. The real worry is that SISU don't even seem that bothered that the club will be effectively homeless in a matter of months.
If that gets thrown it, can they try anything else or is that it?
Why wouldn't they be open to it, we might be dragging them to court ' but it's only in a case they can'tThey seem quite open to it. Wasps 'willing to talk' with Coventry City about Ricoh Arena deal

Lose bought by a party with no plan, the same as the way they run the club with no plan.
They are rapidly running out of options and the only purpose of continued court proceedings seem to
Be to just keep them at the table.
At some point you will have to accept that the people who own CCFC are the real bad guys in this never
Ending "shitfest" The tone of your posting suggests you are beginning to come to this realisation.
I can almost see your straws disappearing over the horizon, as you desperately try to grasp them.
Where is it stated that any naming rights deal hinges on CCFC's commitment to the Arena?
Who is this deal with?
Where is this information?
Maybe they are asking for too much?
I hardly think it's because a team in division 4 that attracts crowds of 8k a week that are sponsored by Allsop and Allsop.
If we are such a big attraction to potential sponsorship of a stadium. Why can't we get a big name for our kits?
Coventry's Ricoh Arena could get new name as Wasps hold sponsorship talks
8th May 2015. Talking to a number of parties. Fast forward over two years, still no deal. As mentioned previously, they finished top of the league and had some of the worlds best players, Beale and La Roux. Yet still no deal, to be fair they have attracted most things but a stadium sponsor. I would suggest it's naive to think it has nothing to do with CCFC being unwilling to commit long term.
So it isn't stated anywhere that not signing CCFC up on a long term deal is the reason they haven't signed a deal with a stadium sponser yet, it is purely your opinion.
I would agree with you if we were a well run club with ambitious owners.
However we play in division 4. Our owners do not want to invest any money in the club. So if we are lucky we will get to play in division 3.
Our marketing pull is tiny hence why we can only get local solicitors to sponser us.
Why if we are such a marketing pull for the do we not have a bigger name wanting to sponser us?
Your logic would make total sense if we were in the championship and competing at that level. However we are not and our owners don't to invest in order to get us there.
Would you be keen to give a long term contract to someone who takes everyone to court that has dealings with them? Would you be happy to have a tenant that is trying to make you pay a massive amount to pay for the property they want to rent off you that has already been paid for?I have never said they wouldn't be open to it. As I said at the start, money talks. Others have said why would you work with a company suing you, I have just disagreed with that opinion. As I am entitled to.
Oh, I find your tone patronising and condescending, so take your face for a shit.
I would suggest it is naive to suggest it is all to do with us not having a long term contract.Coventry's Ricoh Arena could get new name as Wasps hold sponsorship talks

You disagree with my opinion and reasoning behind it, which is fine. What do you believe is the reason Wasps have yet to secure naming rights?

What do you think?
Why does it have to be just one reason?
The more positives that there are the easier it would be to get a deal. The more negatives there are the harder it is to get a deal.
Positives.
Two sporting teams play there. So double exposure.
One of the teams are at or near the top of their game.
One side has large attendances.
It holds other events like concerts.
It is in a prominent position.
Negatives.
Embroiled in court action.
One of the teams doesn't get much exposure as it is in the lower reaches of it's game.
One side has low attendances.
One side shouldn't even be playing there as they belong elsewhere.
Local people could go against them as they could see them backing an alien team.
The main team....not us......might not even be secure.
And yes....the football team don't have a long agreement to play there. And even if they did it gives no guarantee as they had one before and still moved away.
All companies looking to sponsor a stadium wouldn't be put off by the same one thing. A Division 4 football club not having a long term contract. The most probable problem to me is nobody meeting the valuation Wasps expect and need.
Which Wasps admitted was why Ricoh were still sponsors. They'd paid a token amount to extend as Wasps couldn't afford to take all the signage down with no new sponsor to replace them.It would also cost a significant amount to change all the signs and remove the huge sign on the roof.
