I don’t hate Wasps as much as I fucking despise the people of Coventry who never went to Cov Rugby matches but are now “Wasps fans”. Those people are utter wankers.
The best protest from the people of Coventry is to stop going to Wasps games, even on free tickets.
I think that whatever 'the response' it needs to be creative or effective (preferably both). I would be tempted to target the City of Culture event if it was about creating a fuss, Can you imagine how nervous the Council would be at the thought of their 'event; being swamped in Sky Blue flares, a few thousand City fans in tops, whatever in front of the press at the opening showcase event. Klaxons, whatever - I think it is creative stuff that is needed, not just a small (if well intended) group standing outside a Wasps game.
When they said in this statement that they are very close to a commercial agreement, I read that as they have made an agreement, that it'd be signed already if it wasn't for the indemnity clause.That’s mostly where I am too. How can two businesses not make an agreement that will so obviously benefit the finances of both when the economy is going to shit!!!!! I’ll get over it though
Probably get another hand out or let off by our Council. Not state aid, of course.i think we need to wait for 2022 when their bonds need refinancing

Two seasons now. Got to be up to £3m plus by the end of the second season if not moreBecause claiming compensation/avoiding compensation is worth more.

If there is compensation to be paid, it will happen if we are at St Andrews anyway.
I couldn’t even protest I was that demoralised by the turnout and then you didn’t invite me for a pint bastardWe need 21 blokes to turn up and stand around half arsed, before shuffling home again while two of them go for a solitary pint in a deserted casino. That'll learn 'em.
We tried this last season, a massive 20 people turned up.
No way haha really? FfsIncluding old skyblue 58 who then went in to watch the wasps game.
The more I read the statement the more I actually think its the Council (third-party) that are the blockers, not Wasps.
Maybe because of the NDAsurely the club would know who the 3rd party was, why would they not call it out if it was the council ?
Coming from a club that left it’s home and moved to a different city 100 miles away, they really are deluded arseholes.As much as I despise the sentiment, I do have mixed sentiment still towards the club and its owners.

This is good news. We can now just concentrate on ourselves without the distraction of a non profit making appeasement situation. It's classic from football club owners. Release news of new stadium and days later confirm all home games will be away for the foreseeable. Placate the EFL, create hope amongst the supporters just to soften them up for treating them like rubbish again. I'll be glad when we're no longer part of this sideshow. From the football clubs side I expect a couple more years of smoke and mirrors, no stadium, young players sold for profit and a budget simply designed to fit a division, with no real care for which that is. Glad to be rid.

Are Wasps able to say what they have offered, or does the NDA prevent/cover that? If they are so surprised, I would have thought they would be keen to cite the terms they were willing to offer, as they would hold the moral high ground.
Yep, last Monday, was extended by the EFL until today.Didn't we have a deadline day to confirm where we were playing or did I imagine it?

Of course as we know from past experience if talks were close and they'd decided at any point to agree a deal the EFL would have sanctioned it, they've let us move mid season before.
Don't think its really anything to do with a new stadium. More that the EFL need to know where we're playing to sort out fixtures. We all know they aren't going to kick the club out the league if we're still at St Andrews in 10 years and Fisher is showing them pictures of stadiums he's scribbled on the back of a fag packet.looks like they have also gone from being happy with some pics of a stadium with no agreed plot in 2013, to now a statement about a possibility of an agreed plot at some point in next few years
