Yeah it is unrecognisable from a few years ago. I remember going to a kiosk at Covs rugby ground at the Butts to buy some tickets for an away game. That was a real low at the time

With the charge, you’d imagine there’s a ‘deferred consideration’ (i.e. buy now, pay later) element to the transaction as it’s common practice for the seller to retain a charge to mitigate the risk of non-payment. Someone else (may well have been in the quoted post) suggested Doug’s taken a loan from Frasers; it’s effectively a payment plan. For example, if the Arena makes a profit of more than £1m, it may mean future payments increase.

Yeah, you may well be correct in that there is a deferred element of the consideration due from the acquirer (I.e the club) which has then been secured against the acquired asset (the arena) by the seller.

It’s worth adding that this deferred consideration maybe contingent in nature (I.e it depends on certain agreed upon conditions being achieved, such as profitability levels of the arena) meaning that it the amount is not yet exactly known, or it may simply be a fixed amount that has been deferred and due to be paid at a future date.

It all depends on how the deal was structured. We do not have any information on this.

I’ve not seen anything which suggests that the £40m figure doing the rounds is anything other than guess work based on a few known elements.

You would think CoventryLive/ Telegraph website would remove the WASPS link on its home page by now. Pretty embarrassing for a “local newspaper“

Wasps RFC - Coventry Telegraph

Wasps are an English professional rugby union team that moved to Coventry in 2014 after buying the Ricoh Arena, now called the Coventry Building Society Arena. The team compete in the Gallagher Premiership, Heineken Champions Cup and the Premiership Rugby Cup. You can find us on Facebook and...

Not a chance. They still love the scamming bunch of chancers.
I've been banging my head against that particular brick wall since the itinerants dropped off this mortal coil. No response.
Oh for the days of our very own legend John Wilkinson. I'm absolutely sure he'd have sorted it.

Thats a cracking name to get in to kick off our ownership

If we can manage to attract 2 or 3 really big artists for the stadium bowl in the summer, and 4 or 5 every year in the exhibition hall, on top of the usual '2025 Cold tap conference'or whatever other boring bollocks is usually in there through the week, we will be laughing

Getting Ed Sheeran to play the arena so soon after we got ownership means only one thing - the Coventry Building Society Arena must be destroyed.

You could be skinny but you're not fitting 50,000 into something with the capacity of 12,000 without issues.

Doubt it.
Seen him before in Cardiff on his last tour so likely give this a miss.

looks like there’s a bit of Coldplay type stuff going on too - in that if you want access to ‘pre-sale’ tickets you have to pre-order the new album.
Otherwise you’d be waiting for the carnage of general sale For what would be only a relatively small amount of tickets.
