Telegraph bullshit again (1 Viewer)

[ccfcway]

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Pure click bait and I stop even looking at the site 3 years ago unless something is highlighted on here.

Doesn’t mention wasps indemnity request
Doesn’t mention wasps could lose the stadium if council found wrong doing
Doesn’t mention MR and TF both saying CCFC need their own stadium this week.


I can’t imagine too many people read it anyway

Some level of basic journalism? Don't hold your breath...

 

[Dickie]

Much prefer that Tom Leach who popped up over the last few months. Andy Turner is such a Wasps arse licker.

Latest installment;

Latest installment;

Fucking hell he really does live in cloud cuckoo land doesn't he... It was done so well that presenters on the local radio station had to be informed about it by someone from a fans forum

 

[shepardo01]

Here is the latest award winning stuff from Mr Gilbert and Mr Turner......both of which came through to me at pretty much the same time...

 

[chiefdave]

I know times are hard but it seems neither the Telegraph or BBC can cover the cost of their journalists actually phoning someone up.

Think we all know if Wasps aren't making any comment then its highly unlikely their unreasonable demands have changed.

 

[Magwitch]

Apparently work is being done to the pitch so I’m told.

Gilberts email "reply" is a joke. More than Likely didn't even ask the question....
More like, Andy (Turner), send me this on an email so we don't have to pester Wasps....

....would that not be ready for their games to resume or for them to train on?

Thanks for the effort mate

I mean how dare you ask turner to do his job, taking a liberty there aren't you

Whats stopping the

"WASPS REFUSE TO TALK TO THE TELEGRAPH" headline that would happen if it was the club or SISU?

It isn't really proactive if they have to be prompted by the public to report facts.

That has come

Second hand information but apparently work is or has been done on the Ricoh pitch by a firm called Lakeland or Lakeview, who specialise in grounds maintenance.

Lakeside- they are grounds maintenance. Do a lot of local stuff and have done Wasps stuff for a while.
They do the grounds where I work.
They will be prepping pitch for training (think Wasps use Broadstreet a couple of days and Ricoh on others after their initial Broadstreet agreement ended (as they were supposed to be in a new training ground somewhere at some point!!))
No positive Ricoh news here im afraid...just usual procedures...

I think Lakeview are Funeral Directors?

 

[SBAndy]

I think Lakeview are Funeral Directors?

And Lakeland supply kitchen utensils. Wouldn’t fancy a slide tackle on a pitch covered in potato peelers.

I dunno. I think it sounds appealing.

I'll get my coat.

Perhaps the Telegraph wages are spent on employing someone to process the payments for their advertising.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Anyone else hoping that SISU are buying up the bonds a low prices? Would love them to bankrupt wasps

That's exactly what it looks like to me as well, or he wrote it to himself and then sent himself a reply!

Wonder what happened to Greenfields? Seem to recall Wasps making a big deal that they were getting them in, as the people who originally installed the pitch, to do the maintenance. Have they changed to a cheaper option now?

Wasn't it them who said the pitch would be fine if maintained properly?

 

[shepardo01]

Lakeside certainly do stuff for Wasps.
Can't remember what was said about Greenfields!
Could they both do maintenance??

 

[ccfctommy]

What ever happened to Les Reid? Gone very quiet lately

5 things that CET journalists actually do......

Andy turner is now writing stories he hears on the podcasts and tried to play it off as his own

It's almost as if it was purposely left off and he got caught out.

Time for Coventry City and Wasps to secure Ricoh return

Another day, another piece about the stadium, another article that doesn't mention the indemnity clause

The last paragraph of the article actually makes my blood boil

Totally agree with you - The article tells me that the senior management at both Wasps and CCFC get on really well. However, Haven’t heard any correspondence of the man that counts in all of this in the wasps corner Derrick Richardson. In my sales career I was taught to concentrate on the decision maker, as the other part of any team yes important. but the decision maker in this case Derrick Richardson is the only one that will sort this out on the wasps side. If Mr Richardson had congratulated CCFC, then I would have sat up and my views might be slightly different and my hopes may have been raised. but as we stand, like you said another day another piece about the stadium

As others have said in this thread and on twitter directly to Andy turner the thing that is most annoying is that if this was sisu hiding behind the NDA the telegraph would (quite rightly) be all over it doing article after article about how they should be more transparent but as it's wasps they don't want to upset the apple cart with them and so won't do any more digging

We need to be back in Coventry and the fact that the local media don't want to do anything worthwhile is an absolute farce and scandal of the highest order and they must continue to be called out about it

Would they have run a story if Tim Fisher was found have been spending thousands in a brothel?

It's funny because journalists at the Telegraph seem to strangely "have no idea" about it.

Depends how much tim fisher was spending on advertising that year I guess

 

[jordan210]

I don't often go on the telegraph site. But I see since we got promoted we are back on the header. Im sure a few months ago we ago we used to just be under more.

That's the thing.

It's not balanced news, it's a PR agency.
