If it was anything particularly interesting they would be releasing the news immediately in case the Observer got in on it first. You don't sit on major news no matter how tinpot the organisation.
The Observer ?? I
It's nothing more than an avvertising rag which half the population of Coventry never receive

Seppala streaking from the Ricoh to the Council House singing The Only Way Is Up, accompanied by Giblet on an E flat tuba??

Presumably something embargoed but what gets announced at 5am?!

My guess would be naming rights but that's not big news that will get everyone talking. Same would apply to a concert.

Something Fisher knows about or is the timing of the fans forum coincidental?

Some interesting news may be coming out from a liquidator in the next few weeks.

I'm sure Italia knows. He will tell us soon no doubt.

Nothing else to announce as I did that one months ago.
Anyway at 5am in the morning the only thing worth announcing would be a surprise erection.
Mind you these days the Mrs would sooner read the Coventry Telegraph.

How lucky am I? On a 12 hour night shift finishing at 6am. Couldn't think of anything worse but now I have this to look forward to! Winner! I'm counting down the seconds already!!

That's when the papers get shipped out from the Fort to local newsagents, so effectively when they go on sale.

It won't be about seats, I don't think changing the seats is high priority for them. Where's the return on investment for it? They're not made of money.
 
A decent story from Simon and proves that Wasps need us more than they make out, I'm not sure that our bargain basement rent of £100k a year will make much of a dent in that black hole though. So perhaps that's why Wasps are playing hard ball at the moment as they want CCFC to pay more.

Nowt new here. We all knew this anyway didn't we?

Nothing exclusive about the story at all.

What a shock I am no expert but surely anybody could have seen this coming, it is a minority sport followed by a group of rather strange folk. The arena is a money pit that was rushed and built badly and the builders got away with lots because the council were involved.

The person who has just commented about the telegraph not backing London Wasps needs to have a good luck at himself.

They'll just refinance it.
As long as they can pay the high interest rate investors will continue to be happy.
To refinance they would have to raise a lot of money for something that is making a loss. High risk loans comes at a high interest rate.

It is all good owning your own stadium. But it comes at a cost. And as it is too big for us where we are now it is a good thing financially that we don't own it. It would cost us about half of our playing budget for the upkeep.

I've been saying that from the start.

I happened to be up just after 5am. Checked the CT and thought that can't be it, must be something else on the way.
