I was thinking of shirt sponsor rather than stadium sponsor. Although obviously that will be renewed at some point and again is arguably worth more with a top flight Rugby team as a permanent resident.
Given it was a no comment thanks to commercial confidentiality as to when the Ricoh deal actually expired...
Brighton are an obvious choice!
Didn't Brighton have to play outside Brighton and then at that terrible athletics place for years until a rich benefactor came along and paid for a new ground to be built?
Grow up - you are embarrassing yourself. There is no deal and never will be a deal.
I know there are plenty experts in shooting down ideas on this forum. But they have no influence on whether a new stadium will be build or not.
There is no evidence that the stadium will ever become a reality, but there's plenty of logical reasons why it should providing the business plan is sound.
You suggest that because there's no named investors after two years, that is evidence the stadium will not be build. It's not. Investors won't be invited until land has been identified, conditionally purchased and a prospect been drafted.
You can call it a shed, a Lego land or whatever, but it's only angry noises without foundation until plans are revealed.
Do you say this with the same certainty when you said that no-one other than CCFC would be interested in playing at the Ricoh?
Any new owner of CCFC would do a deal with Wasps as it is the only economically feasible way to give CCFC a future.
.
And I keep asking you but don't get a reply; why would Wasps sign some of their revenues away to us when they aren't exactly in a great position themselves?

It's common sense business. Surely you can see that ?
Personally, I'm hoping for Wasps to fail, they fuck off back to where they came from and then the Council sees sense and does a deal with the team from their own city.
Not sure if you answered my question the other day. Is your issue with Wasos because of francising or purely because it screwed CCFC?

Does Torchy answering this question help the club, or make a difference to the heap of shit the club are in, or is it just to try and be self satisfyingly smug to get one up on him?
The latter, it seemed relevant whilst he was incorrectly accusing me of avoiding questions whilst actually doing so himself.
So therefore moved from renting a ground to owning it
Both really. Franchising is wrong, don't need to remind you of the anger when we moved even temporarily to Northampton. Secondly, the Council decision screwed (good choice of words) the Club as we're now between a rock and a hard place.
Ideally, for me we would have a new stadium somewhere in the City and we could leave Wasps to it. Unfornately, that's not likely to happen. So our choices are to stay where we are and play in a stadium that's even more soulless than it was before thanks to the Wasps regalia or try and build our own stadium, which will never likely ever happen. So yes, we are screwed.
Certainly not saying it's not SISUs fault, it is, they should have done a deal, but SISU aren't going to be here forever, so the 250 lease decision really is a devastating blow to the city's indigenous sports team.
And although I wish Wasps to fail, I know it won't happen, but a man can dream. Still, I'll be there tonight and I'm going on Saturday to Chesterfield so I'm not giving up any time soon.

That 'Temporarily' completely alienated our fanbase. The single most destructive thing SISU have done in a long line of idiotic fuck ups ! It may have only been for 15 months in the end but we were being told 3 years with a possible extension to 5 by that twat Fisher and that was enough for thousands !
I know I think it's going to be a horrible battering tonight.
Unless they become more concerned with their possible trip to Wembley

Well, I'm hoping TM has something up his sleeve. I don't think the pitch will be an issue tonight for Bradford as they'll just play their normal game as the ball will fly over the heads of midfield straight into our box. I'm hoping Webster plays tonight.
You're not going to get me disagreeing with you. I totally understand which is why I find is so bizarre how some are quite openly welcoming Wasps to Coventry. As I said though SISU won't be here forever, but unfortunately, it seems that Wasps will be. That will have more of a long term affect than a year in Northampton, IMHO.
5 years for Wasps to fail (not a given) and another 5 years while Sisu take the club to Northampton to get it for nothing.
Why would it ? I rarely get involved in these Wasp discussions but tell me the difference in paying rent to Wasps than when we paid rent to ACL aoart from it being a cheaper deal, did paying that £1.3million a year rent give the football team access to this great so called cash cow the Ricoh Arena ? Don't get me wrong I would much prefer our football club to own the Ricoh rather than the Wasps, then who is the football club ?That will have more of a long term affect than a year in Northampton, IMHO.

If CCC had waited until SISU had left, which they will do one day, then they could have done a deal with the new owners and then the football club would be united with its own stadium in its own city. Revenue would have been ours. The stadium would have been "ours" maybe for 250 years.
It's unlikely that Worcester are going to be able to stop it. Wasps are already engaged with the local clubs and have had meetings with Warwickshire RFU.
You can't really believe that we will ever finance our own stadium ?
So, your hope is that someone will come in and buy the club then buy the stadium and give it to the club?
You expect the council to go with that ?
You really are clueless.
