Takeover was 2 years of meticulous planning.
Seems ACL weren't fibbing then when they said they were in talks with other parties a while back.
Blimey they got that Wasps background etc knocked up quickly. The Ricoh is now their home and Coventry City are tenants.

2 years ago takes us back to around the beginning of the rent strike.
So did SISU get wind of it and that's why they stopped paying rent?
Hopefully we'll be tenants super strong.

Wasps letter
Here's a few pars from Wasps' letter to season ticket holders...
The Ricoh is not just a stadium. It is an award winning, world-class arena which includes a 32,000 stadium, 4 star hotel, 60,000 ft2 exhibition hall, 20,000 ft2 conferencing facilities and one of the UK’s largest casinos.
The revenue from these facilities, combined with Wasps existing revenues, will result in Wasps immediately becoming the highest turnover rugby club in the Aviva Premiership.
We will be playing our first game at the Ricoh in December either for the Castres or London Irish fixture and will be holding an open day for our supporters in late November which we will communicate to you nearer the time.
Free return coach travel between designated areas in the High Wycombe area and The Ricoh for all remaining matches this season.
Free return coach travel between designated areas in West London and The Ricoh for all remaining matches this season.
Alternatively, if you want to travel in your own car, we will offer you a free car parking space at the Ricoh Arena so long as there are at least two people in the car for the remaining matches this season.
As a Cov charity you would hope that Higgs would rather sell to CCFC and give us a stake in the stadium.

Of course they weren't. They were only involved at the last minute.2 years of meticulous planning...for WASPS. Doesn't necessarily mean that ACL were involved for all that period does it?

Wasps' letter to fans claims that the Ricoh's revenue will make it the 'highest turnover club in the Aviva Premiership'.
Everything I hear/read now just makes me even angrier. For a small investment we could get in on 50% of that action.
