Trust twitter account now getting involved with this, the only thing ever tweeted against Wasps. It's a masterpiece...lol..

They never answered how many times it was on....
They just hide behind random things like that and then seem to think that's Wasps bang to rights.
No mention of them applauding them.

Not sure, but fairly sure that there were a number of screens that were broadcast outside the Ricoh... this one during the night, then, fairly sure a different one in the day during the Wasps game which did not say anything detrimental to Wasps...
I could be wrong but that is what I recall....

I think it'll go to SISU must do something impossible to make the indemnity go away

Got to admit this has had a much bigger impact than I hoped it would.
If nothing else its got the indemnity in the media and a CWR presenter to say Wasps kicked us out.
Need to keep the spotlight on the indemnity as that is the key thing at the moment. Neil from the trust is now trying to make out its not hat important as we can't be certain if it was removed we'd come back - clutching at straws to say the least!

To be fair he keeps forgetting about it when doing statements to the media. His own words.

Me too. Think Simon said wasps kicked us out. Also I’m pretty happy that we can’t control sisu’s response to a move by wasps but and it’s big our statement has had more of an impact than the trust one. I think we push and see if national media take it on and wait for a response from wasps and Sisu. Ccfc will probably comment in Saturdays programme in some way

Disappointing that Trish "Sausage" Adudu didn't mention us on her programme this morning. They frequently repeat stuff from Alan Partridge's evening show on the next day's breakfast travesty, especially where the Trust are concerned, it seems!

I doubt it would have got any airtime without the trust reference as that created a news item from the BBC perspective

tbh you can get airtime for pretty much anything on CWR!

Gilbert got it out on and in his intro after which he vanished he made claim that the indemnity issue is unclear despite him knowing statements have been made on it that show it is an issue. CWR have already stated the wasps and trust “drop the legals” line.

I noticed that too - but him and Upimself didn't like me mentioning it! "Discussion", my arse!

Ah it was you on twitter. Simon and phil were very complementary in what they said about how I stuck to our key points. I hate listening to myself but I thought challenging the incendiary nature was important
as was the indemnity, no legals, get back to coventry, Mark robins and team deserve more support and stop misleading people were all key points.
Also thanks to shmmee and northern wisdom and others I was able to acknowledge the great work the trust have done and that they have now been clearer about the indemnity and holding wasps to account. I think there is an opportunity here much like the March to listen and react and do something meaningful that most if not all supporters will be proud of
feel a bit proud of this forum on what has been achieved through this. But it can’t be left and if wasps and Sisu think we don’t want to see some action from the statement then we need to remind them that we aren’t going away

Pete, well done, you are doing a great job in helping to get more out in the open. Feel you were cut off a bit by Upton yesterday, but the more out there, the better - thanks from me and again, many other fans.
RIGHT - really do feel that one of the key questions going forward should also be related to Nick Eastwood's words about dropping legals,
NOBODY has questioned him about what in HIS mind can be dropped for anything to move forward.
Obviously, as we know the EU complaint cannot be withdrawn or forgotten about, so he need pushing on WHAT he actually means.
He stated this in an interview CWR aired in relation to Wasps 5 year anniversary. Note that Midlands today REMOVED his section related to that in their segment as many people on twitter questioned the accuracy of Eastwoods statement. THIS WAS IGNORED BY CWR WHO POSTED ALL OF HIS SPIEL!
Cheers again Pete,

Well done Pete without you none of this would have been brought to everyone's attention
it has puzzled me from very early days why people have let wasps get away with throwing us out of the stadium and city
im as guilty as anyone for not pushing this but thanks to you and a lot of other people on this forum things have started to move
A point about the EU complaint. This could have been made by anyone not just SISU, if there had been a Coventry rate payers association they would have been entitled to complain about whether their rates (Council Tax) has been wasted being used as state aid. Would Wasps have thrown them out of the city if they had made the complaint.
Once again Pete great work lets hope it pays dividends

Thinking ahead...what's the next steps?
Is there anything else planned pre or around the FA Cup game this weekend? Seems like an opportune moment to continue the efforts.
Pete - you seem to be the spearhead of this, much in the same way as MMJ spearheaded the ST scheme. Could there plans for you (and maybe others) to sit down with the Trust and other parties? I suspect you're doing all this for no personal reward and it eats into your personal time so don't feel pressured into doing everything.
Just feel that as this has had a seemingly positive (and maybe larger than we expected) impact, then we should come up with a plan of action or next steps. I don't live locally so am unlikely to attend meetings etc but can help with planning, communication etc.

I should say I’m waiting on wasps to come back to me having emailed nick Eastwood separately. He was polite in his reply and I will follow up after the game this weekend. For which I’m getting way too excited

Not at the games. Not at our games at least. If you want to protest then do it a Wasps game that wont affect the team.

I was thinking that when phil upton said our statement was incendiary.
What gets me is that everyone benefits ccfc playing at the Ricoh how does that not compute

I think it's a fair point to raise if needed.
So far in trying to sort out their training ground Wasps have tried getting our academy kicked out of Higgs, broken promises to Old Leamingtonians which led to the Royal Leamington Spa Archery Club (Olympic archers among those who used the facilities) and now the mess with the college sports centre and all those being impacted by that.
A shining example of how Wasps treat others and how little scrutiny they get from CWR and the Telegraph.

Said a long time ago the trust should hammer that angle. The EC investigation will run its course no matter what else happens so what benefit is there for CCFC, Wasps or indeed the local economy for Wasps to continue to refuse us a deal at the Ricoh?
