No idea, I'm sure Byng was trying to claim last week they didn't have the finance to do the deal and approached him or something.

Did they email him?
Yeah ,they Asked If he was buying CCFC would he also like to Invest in the ACL buyout .
At 11.40 In the evening ,I reckon someone had been out on the Lash and thought they'd have a laugh.
Also has it been signed? Has any money yet exchanged hands?

Surely RFC should know himself?
Nick please listen to the last 20 minutes and judge for yourself from a CCC & fan?

Hedge fund.... location unknown (I believe CCC call it 'The Bay of Irony')
No because after listening it's your judgement and I don't want to influence that.

Given and underwritten are pretty different things, mind you!

Well the cost I believe is 19million or thereabouts, in 2015 the naming rights are up so the stadium owners I am sure will negotiate a better deal with someone. Got 10mill. ten years ago and with Wasp games being on Sky I would expect Wasps to do a lot better than 10 million. If they got double in a way they will have got the stadium for nowt !

I'd also like to know what company structure will be, will wasps own 50-100% of ACL or is it the company that owns wasps?

regards the naming right for the ricoh i think it will be the JLR arena from 2015

I wouldn't be surprised if we find out they've already done a naming rights deal with JLR and had some sort of advance to fund the purchase. Timing of their partnership with JLR seems to suggest there's more to it than just being shirt sponsor.

..and I speculate that their involvement is what swung it with the council, you don't piss on the plans of your biggest local employers* do you.
* Yeah, OK I know the biggest local employer is probably CCC or the NHS, but anyone with 1/2 a brain would infer that I am talking about private industry including secondary employment in the supply chain.
