Ricoh is confirmed? (14 Viewers)

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Don't have any inside info other than I know Dave Boddy is regularly talking to his Wasps counterpart
If we do go back I wonder if scrums will be allowed in rugby union when it returns?
Common sense would say that the two front rows can't be breathing into each other's faces every few minutes until the virus is gone or there's a vaccine
It's the scrums that tear the pitch up

As a prop*, I’m deeply offended by this entire post.

*front rower, for those who need the clarification

That is a good question rucks and mauls are what rugby is all about andvthe muddier the better, I’d think it will be the last sport to start back.

And they’re worried about Covid?

And they’re worried about Covid? Mask please

that's a beef mask, one of the most effective there is.

Tight or loose ? ;-))

Does Goode play for Wasps?

Isn't he the Sunderland striker?

 

[Mcbean]

Glad to see humour has surfaced here - that’s what makes this site excellent- I just soar my cocoa out ( I’m old on Tuesday ) first pint in a pub tonight since March

I didn’t even realise Sunderland had a striker this season...

Just to throw more fuel onto this fire, has anyone noticed the remaining rearranged fixtures for a certain London rugby team does not include any games on a Saturday!

I would give a link but I just don't want to give them any internet traffic

though that would mean the Championship season starting in August when I thought it wasn't going to start until September?

Damn, hole driven through my argument already

It is a bit weird though. I had a look at the remain fixtures for the whole league and there's loads of Saturday games for all the other clubs

Either end of August or mid September (not 1st week of September due to it being designated for international games)

I played tight head for many years, hence my Right hip replacement first and now waiting for a date for the Left, and Government guidelines are sport and exercise are good for you, HA!!

Ok quick question for all the conspiracy theories

If a deal was done why are wasps and sisu keeping it secret ?

NDA? Until the the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed. Don’t know why I answered tbf. I’m not a theorist. Just a sit-and-wait-ist

I don't think the deal is done.
Someone on here said the other day the rent is the stumbling block and that ties up with what I heard yesterday.
And if that is the case does that mean wasps have removed the indemnity demand?

 

[Johhny Blue]

Does the Ricoh have under soil heating ?

Does it have soil?

If it’s just rent, then a deal will be agreed. It’ll be just posturing

 

[clint van damme]

It has soil, it's the grass that's missing

 

[mr_monkey]

Yep just no grass

Fingers crossed that's true, I don't think we would have got to rent nitty gritty if there was still a massive elephant in the room around the indemnity. Hopefully means both sides have wound their necks in and can come to something fair for everyone

 

[Skyblueweeman]

29th August and 12th September are the two potential starts.

Although I've heard that some clubs don't want to start the season until fans are allowed in. 'Could' delay things a little unless the work out how they can get fans in safely.

It could be just a rumour. The person who told has a mixed record when it comes to inside info on the City.

Yes, I played Sunday football for too long and suffering for it now.

Don’t see why rent would be an issue when it was agreed last year unless us being promoted has made Wasps ask for more.

I'd be shocked if they didn't, with the leap in money and number of fans that we will get in the championship

Let's just hope that they aren't asking for a silly amount as a way of stopping us playing there

Or that sisu are trying to screw them into the ground. Just get us back to Cov you pair of wankers!

Yep just bash their heads together and get us back with fair terms and watch us go from strength to strength

I think it’s stupid. Would be like my landlord charging me more cos I got a promotion. Unless we need more of the ground open of course.

Didn't we pay matchday costs, stewarding, etc. anyway?

They will make more from F and B.

Would think the stands would come under matchday costs.

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah but I can sort of understand if we needed one stand open and now it’s two or three that we might need to pay a bit more base rent.

There's rumours of them wanting to whack the rent up to over £1m but its always hard to work out where these rumours started and if there's anything to them.

Can't see the club agreeing a rent similar to the one we were originally paying before breaking the lease.
