If that is the case they do a very good job of keeping it quiet. There were numerous Wasps fans calling for CCFC to be kicked out of the Ricoh and I can't find a single mention from a Wasps fan showing concern regarding the new training ground proposal.
Would suggest that if they were a bit more vocal they might not be viewed so negatively.

Eastwood must be one of the luckiest men around. First he accidentally stumbles across a stadium that Wasps are practically gifted then he stumbles across a training ground.

Wonder how long he has been on the governors for them?
It is a massive coincidence again isn't it? Did he just overhear them say "Oh we have this potential training ground" and he said "Well now you mention it".
I like how again Wasps are saying they don't want any minutes from the meeting they had, same as they didn't when they met with the Trust but the Henley group are just saying what happened anyway.

What did they say?

Haha, that was me, made me remember that I need to get my hair cut! The whole thing is on tonight's 6-30 edition as far as I know.

Sports England will be consulted and will be very likely to object in which case application cannot be approved without sign off from Secretary Of State. Wasps will no doubt argue provision of 'first class sporting excellence facilities' so depends how that is swallowed. If Henley area is a Tory run council and Tory government reelected the 'love' of rugby will hold a lot of sway. Community could be simply given a field as mitigation which would be hopelessly inadequate given range of sports. Complicated and will take a couple of years to resolve - even longer if judicially reviewed by local organisations!

I saw you tweeted Simon Gilbert - take it you’ve got radio silence?

Oh yes. He does like looking at my LinkedIn account though and then replying with my name. Since I pointed out it would have been the only piece of investigative journalism he’s done other than oddly Dave Johnson was crawling over it before we’ve not been on good terms

At least you have your own parody account now, just a shame the thick pricks haven't figured out how to make it less obvious.

TBF the BBC are on this already, one of their more senior reporters instead of Legohead.

Yes it’s embarrassing - I’m going on the attack shortly about that as well

London bully boys pushing out the plebs. The arrogance is amazing. They’ve lied about CCFC’s tenure at the Ricoh, lied about discussions to takeover CCFC and lied to bondholders about their finances and are under investigation for it by the FCA. Now the public is expected to believe this deal had nothing to do with Nick Eastwood as a Governor of Warwickshire College. And not forgetting many Coventry Councillors claimed to be convinced in the decision to sell them the Ricoh by their commitment to building a training centre IN Coventry. It stinks and good on Henley-In-Arden for not rolling over.

Just another co-incidence I am sure.
The fact one of the Trust's board members seem to have had no idea about it also sum it up.
Let's not forget the bit about them thanking Wasps

I suspect a "we'll take it on board" or an "I've passed it on" is due shortly.
That'll shut us up.
That'll shut us up.
To whom the council or the waspograph paper?

What like the Tory run council in Cov that said this was a Rugby City?

Hoping for a W - thinking positive - feeling de boys will do well. There appear to be local problems in planning concerning the proposed sale and developmenof the possible ((or not) training grounnd. Can't think that Wasps would really behave in the way suggested by the BBC last night on Midlands tv. Safe journeys to you all wherever you may be. C O Y W.

Wonky, what was being suggested on TV?
Morning all, on our way from a dismal south Bucks in an hour or so.
Hoping for some brightness in Cov this afternoon, if only on the pitch !

It was 2, 3 minutes short involving about 6 to 10 local act ivity groups of every age - all of whom use the site for their sport and apparently have no alternative site to go to. They are not happy. At all. It could that the BBC is stirring it, or someone else is. Nick Eastwood was not involved as he decl;ared int erest, and didn't take part in any meetings. It seems rather odd.
"Can't think that Wasps would behave in a way suggested by the bbc"!!!!!!!
Hahaha.... the ignorance...

Got to laugh that their fans missed it because it was on Midlands Today!

Right, this explains all the aggression in the other thread and the hostility towards the idea that it is good news that the club are looking at a few sites and not just one. Maybe that news has been released to counter this news I don't know, however for me that doesn't change the fact that it is good news.

I have no interest in Wasps and don't read about them. I hadn't read about this training site or the bad PR about it.
You maybe right that the proposed sites for the new ground getting leaked was to counter that PR.
I don't know, believe that or not I don't really give a shit its just a fact.
I now understand why you were reacting the way you were. However I still believe the fact Sisu haven't rubbished the sites or the story and the fact the two are not going at each other cat and mouse style in the paper is a positive sign.
You stay miserable in your agenda focus world. I am going to stick to my views.
Oh and for me personally multiple sites getting identified was new news.

Another big crowd at the Ricoh less than 8,000 for their European game, maybe they aren't allowed to give away free tickets for these games.
