Anything other than no deal will mean EU law is applied as it was at the time. Even with no deal any future deal will likely require the same.

Help them with a loan! But it will not be state aidGet ready for the headline council to branch out and open a casino
The casino shouldn't have to rely on football fans from what I've heard it's virtually empty most of the time. I don't know I never go there
Yeah it is, go in there on a weeknight and it's dead apart from a couple of people with gambling issuesThe casino shouldn't have to rely on football fans from what I've heard it's virtually empty most of the time. I don't know I never go there
I’ve got a mate that seems to play a lot of poker tournaments there. But I’d imagine you can host them anywhere with a table.

As somone said it's a huge space that could be diversified into bars, 3 or 4 different types of restaurants and a casino. But it needs footfall all of which they will miss out on with us not being there. Am sure the operator are not happy with wasps/the situation.The do host some big tournaments.
Regardless, I'm sure it runs off a few thousands in matchdays. It's pretty busy after.
Would be interesting to see what would happen if it did close. It's a big space to be sat empty.
You don’t get that in a Devon strip club, just sheared sheep on a stage and a load of farmers picking up the discarded wool off the floor and sniffing it. Bit weird really.And cunts!
I went once after going to Vegas for the first time and getting the casino bug.
What a come down that was.
It needs to be part of a complex with bars and other entertainment. That bit by the canal would be perfect but instead we’ve been pissing about with ownership and the site never gets developed.
I honestly don't think the council will ever let SISU gain control of the stadium. I think they would prefer it knocked down for housing if Wasps go pop rather than handing it to SISU.

The plan is fook Wasps why go back after 3 months when they are on their arse. The long season will suit us fine as they will be more in the shit. I bet CCFC wouldnt go back for free. Let them drown and go under it wont take long.
Small pain long term gain we need this stadium sorting once and for all.
As it will be a white elephant without an anchor tenant. Money talks along with local resident pressure and that's where we can all do our bit....How will wasps going under sort out the stadium ?

Best case senerio as far as I can see in that instance is the council offering the club a rental, and we are back to sq 1 with the lack of income from f+b etc.
I just can’t see how sisu will get their hands on the stadium. Even if they win the case, wasps have to hand the stadium back and CCC owe CCFC damages for Northampton / Birmingham etc, would CCC not just give them the money and then cut budgets elsewhere rather than give them a stadium ?
Knocked down for housing?But what use is the stadium to The Council? Why would they want it? If they don't sell it to CCFC (or whoever) it is a huge white elephant. SISU will say - no rental thanks, we want to buy (otherwise...., as in the Northampton scenario)

They will owe us a shed load for damages from their sneaky state aid, personal vendetta approach to running the council on behalf of the community.Best case senerio as far as I can see in that instance is the council offering the club a rental, and we are back to sq 1 with the lack of income from f+b etc.

Or converted to warehouses.Knocked down for housing?
If CCC owed CCFC damages, which would be in the tens of millions, why wouldn’t they hand the stadium over if they had possession, rather than deplete council (I.e. taxpayers) cash reserves whilst keeping hold of a white elephant.Best case senerio as far as I can see in that instance is the council offering the club a rental, and we are back to sq 1 with the lack of income from f+b etc.

It was only worth whatever paltry sum wasps paid for it, a few million, apparently. Would hardly have increased in value if wasps crash, would it?They will owe us a shed load for damages from their sneaky state aid, personal vendetta approach to running the council on behalf of the community.
Just random numbers here but if they owe us 10million in damages we can have it off the independently valued price of the stadium. SISU would then bye it.
Anyone care to guess what the Ricoh is worth?
What the penalty for the inappropriate use of state aid might be?
Think Coventry is short of a gas holder or two....Knocked down for housing?

Wasps paid around 20m (5.5 + 14.4 loan) within weeks it was valued at considerably more, maybe double, cant remember, if the EC rule against the council that difference may have to be made up, it could possibly be 20m to be recouped one way or another.
aren't we constantly told that the CCC have strict guidelines when making decisions and that personal feelings don't come in to the decision making process?
We're also told that CCC act in the best interest of the Coventry council tax payer so surely if there ever was a chance of sisu gaining control of the stadium any proposed deal would be assessed in a purely professional manner by the council, (stop sniggering).
The value of the opportunities lost. But you are a wasp and council lover so you won’t see it that way.Tens of millions ?. How come ?. What would they be claiming ?
When the council have an empty stadium and need someone to occupy it.Surely it would be a case that wasps would have to give the stadium back, CCC pay wasps the money they paid back and CCC would face a fine ?
At what point would SISU benefit ?

More likely outcome ( and none of us have any idea) is that wasps have to stump up the correct value for the stadium and can’t, and ccc have a hefty fine that isn’t offset by an additional payment from a bankrupt rugby franchise. Empty stadium reverts to the council along with the egg all over their faces. And I have made no allowance for civil damages.
