A friend told me a while ago that the Coventry Building Society was thrilled with the money they paid for the stadium naming rights. Not very much money at all.
Well I do give a shit, the same as rugby League debases itself with Hull and Huddersfield 'continuing' with imported clubs.As I said earlier, you can dislike Wasps because of how they helped to bail out the council and stop us getting control of our own stadium. I certainly wouldn’t shed any tears if they went under for that reason.
What I don’t get is the pearl clutching about the horror - the horror! - of a rugby team deciding to move cities, and the way it impacted CRFC. Those are simply two things that I could never give a solitary shit about (especially compared to the long term wellbeing of CCFC). But here we are with pages of posts about just that. I think we’d be wiser to keep our eyes on the prize of what happens next with the stadium and the ownership of CCFC - some people (@Deleted member 5849) apparently are already drawing red lines on that because they despise Wasps so much. Sorry - I can’t find it in myself to care that much about any rugby team.
never happened, did it??Isnt that an average gate of like 17,000?
They're only £112m in debt not the reported £115mAny idea of what the "good news" may be G?
Oh wow. What the fuck is that?

West Ham have this week been offered stadium naming rights by their landlordsIt does seem that the stadium naming for money bubble has burst. Not sure West Ham have ever gotten a sponsor for the Olympic stadium. If a Premier League football club can’t get a sponsor for an iconic stadium in London It’s not surprising Wasps couldn’t command a lot of money for the Ricoh.
They are adamant it was over 10k, as reported.Looked no more than 6k

The thing with rugby clubs is they can be a very family oriented thing. I used to play for a club a good number of years ago and you really gave a shit for the other folks around you. If we were on tour we were put up by the opposition families some times. They are going through that awkward teenage stage at the moment where they need to become businesses and that becomes an uncomfortable position as in football you lose touch with that family feel."Perhaps someone can help me figure out how to talk to my 11 year old son who has been watching and cheering for Wasps since he was 4 and is currently sobbing his eyes out, how this “rugby family” thing works? Or explain what values rugby holds dear without sounding hypocritical."
For some reason I have £30m as the figure it would take in my mind.How much would it take for SISU to accept an offer and leave?
We'll get it out of there and bung it in your wallet.For some reason I have £30m in my mind.
Apparently Julian Gray is on his way out too.NEC group have expressed an interest in the Arena side of the business then apparently. Not sure where that leaves us, other than tenets of course.
Hoffman offered somewhere in the region of 7 million.
What, now?
The previous ones were just small bids with add ons to make it up weren't they? Remember when he was on about shares of player sales etc etc.
Yeah, think he offered multiple add-ons but if I remember correctly it was shot down quite quickly.
To be fair the plot of Tenet is far less confusing than our recent history.NEC group have expressed an interest in the Arena side of the business then apparently. Not sure where that leaves us, other than tenets of course.

Mainly reasoned on squad worth as that is the asset.spread the word via all the media and it will become reality....well, it worked for Boris and Truss!!!
And Ryton of course.spread the word via all the media and it will become reality....well, it worked for Boris and Truss!!!
I wouldn’t give a shit what a rugby fan says - it’s a culturally irrelevant sport frequented mostly by day trippers and casual fans. You can pretend that it’s just as important as the Football League if you like and insist they play by the same standards but even the clubs themselves wouldn’t agree with you.
I’m sure there are people upset that Wasps moved. I’d be sad if my local curry house decided to move to another city, but I’d get over it. Unless you’re seriously telling me that London Wasps was a community institution that needed to be protected at all costs, I don’t see why I should waste much energy being upset about it - most people involved with Wasps certainly didn’t.
Get you.
Although, to be honest, most of the ill feeling towards wasps stems from the fact they rocked up here. The stuff about franchising was just a covenient stick to beat them with and allowed for some easy accusations of hypocrisy. Had they moved to Doncaster none of us would have given a shit, agree on that.
