I thought this decision was made before Wasps' arrival.
No idea, don't usually take much notice when I see the word 'rugby' I just assumed this was new news. Good old Telegraph.
cov lost to Birmingham for a woldwide event that would have bough income into the area and be as much of a success as the Olympic football was, yet its worth it to laugh at wasps ?
I for one would have more than welcomed this event in Coventry and would have enjoyed going or watching the city of Coventry host a worldwide event on television.
then goes on to have a bit of a Wasps love in at the bottom.

The Ricoh has lost out on getting rugby World Cup games to villa park. Bad for the economy of Coventry but worth it to laugh at wasps. Ha ha
Hope Julian Gray starts for City tomorrow....

These kind of reports always make me laugh. The spend per person would need to be over £150 and then you have to debate how much of that will stay in the local area. Aside from the zero hour contract staff, most likely on minimum wage I can't see much of the spend staying local.
I always like Coventry to have profile events however the only slight chance we have of ever getting an ownership stake in the Ricoh is if Wasps fail so a story like this could be seen as good news from that view point.
Indeed, the estimated benefit is only partly linked to the local area. They mention travel which might mean international airlines, hardly of benefit to Coventry.
What's 'saltiness'?

I like your spin Simon, Coventry was never going to win something that was already a done deal for Birmingham. Believe me I know. We only got the Olympics because Vile pulled out and LOCOG needed a stadium in the Midlands

So we wait hoping that somebody fails and hope to pick it up on the cheap instead of putting a bid in,now where have I heard something like this before?

You didn't actually read the article then? The new news is the new research about economic benefits...

Are we going to have Paddy Power providing research on brain surgery soon?
If they can exhibit an expertise in the profession, like a travel company providing estimated tourism figures, then I might consider using it.
There would also have to be a Coventry / Warwickshire connection of course.
and a wasps love in !!
