Everything goes their way and they lose £10 million a year like clockwork
Secret un-minuted meeting/vote at CCC - Ricoh sold to Wasps.
5m of public money to Wasps from CCC.
Planning approved from CCC for hotel that was declined to another possible builder...
Wasps director suddenly appears on board of a group all of a sudden selling their sporting facility... to Wasps ..
Planning permission more or less granted by Stratford Council to develop said sporting facility whilst blocking use for local residents despite numerous objections including one from sport England.
How the F**k do they do it!????
Absolutely stinks...
Really hope they go bust ASAP, disgusting club and fans.
Decision to approve gone through unanimously by the looks of it.
"Jennings" is Henleys own Councillor by the way ... they are fuming with him!
Think he’s the one that a FOI request showed was assisting Wasps with getting the application through.Decision to approve gone through unanimously by the looks of it.

Quote from henley alliance,
"So, today is the day! Given the weight of evidence along with the lack of relevant community access on offer, we should be looking forward to a formality of a decision in our favour at tonight's planning meeting. However, we are not necessarily expecting this to be the case. If the decision goes against us we still have the holding objection issued by Sport England to give us hope, but we shouldn't need to be relying on this. We should be relying on the common sense of people in authority acting in the best interests of local communities, not the interests of multi million pound sporting franchises. We should be relying on Councillors acting on the very rules that they themselves put into writing. We should be looking to invest in the very facilities that these people have spent months making absurd excuses as to why they should be bulldozed in order to host "elite sport". The irony of this is that without grass roots sport, there can be no elite sport, and it is about time that Councillors were forced into acknowledging and acting on this, rather than cosying up to people they perceive to be of importance based on finance. Whichever way the decision goes tonight, the whole sorry saga has been a disgrace from start to finish, and I hope that people will not forget this based on the offer of a free ticket. Cross everything at 6pm tonight."
Feel so sorry for them and everyone affected by this.
Makes me hate those c-units even more.
Land will be sold for housing, banking them millions..
I’ve come to the conclusion that we need to move on from this. They’re a in a middle/upper class sport, building in a middle/upper class constituency.
further to that our local council have thrown all their lot in with wasps. They’ll be doing anything they can legally to make it work
this battle is over. It’s just a case now of hoping they go bust. Fuck their fans. I hope they do, the London lot didn’t give a shit when they left so why feel for them fans?
Restaurant near me (I'm in a Tier 2) place had to cancel virtually all bookings in the first weekend of it due to the no household mixing ruleSurely their hospitality has to be cancelled on Saturday now the City looks to be going into tier 2 restrictions...
That'd be a shame!! .....
Still being advertised on their website - surely can't be allowed to go ahead....Surely their hospitality has to be cancelled on Saturday now the City looks to be going into tier 2 restrictions...

Wonder if Uncle George will change Midnight Friday until Midnight Saturday....
Or if they will go ahead anyway!??!
What about the indoor setting, and all the mixing that will be done coming in/out, going to toilet etc......Minimum booking is 4 and maximum 6 and all from the same household.
A blind eye is bound to be turned.
state of this one
If anybody is interested;Report em. All phone the police and complain. oh and good luck Exeter, be noce for them to win a final (11 positive WASP covid tests)
Still time....
Still time....
Not that our own council would do anything!
This IS going ahead by the way.... hundreds of people indoors... and they think families won't be mixing
Concern would be the amount... surely a few hundred.... possibly more.... they are saying they are opening numerous halls....plus the claim that families won't mix. How would they do that in terms of entering/leaving, toilet etc....not sure what they could even do, it's not illegal.

Just interesting that the scale is large and it is indoors....
Takes a matter of seconds to find large groups planning to meet up at the Ricoh for this. Just look at the Wasps forum!Concern would be the amount... surely a few hundred.... possibly more.... they are saying they are opening numerous halls....plus the claim that families won't mix.

Forget that it is Wasps.Takes a matter of seconds to find large groups planning to meet up at the Ricoh for this. Just look at the Wasps forum!
We've all experienced how events are run at the Ricoh, the idea that they will be capable of keeping people within the required groups is laughable.
That is a disgrace.Not illegal? Then the law is an ass.
The fact that Cov have cancelled their indoor event today, and the Sunday Lunch, due to the Tier 2 move tells you all you need to know about the standards of the two clubs.
Broadstreet have cancelled too I believe (and they aren't even physically in the Tier 2 area).
Fucking disgusted by the insects (again).
Apology not accepted. No excuse.Theme park set up across road from Covid test centre sparks fury
Locals have slammed a funfair that has been set up at the Rioch Arena in Coventry, just yards away from a Covid-19 testing facility, amid rising cases in he region and the introduction of Tier 2.www.dailymail.co.uk
sorry for daily mail link
Also the Ricoh looks decrepit
