Big sky blue news tomorrow (4 Viewers)

I think everyone’s got to see this as a win, surely?

As fans were home and secure until or unless a new ground is built: win

Wasps get a long term tenant: win

Sisu get to carry on the court cases and plan a stadium: win

CCC had to do nothing of note: win

Let’s all just move on. A good compromise is where no one gets everything they want and that seems to be where we’ve landed.

Tell me if I'm talking bollocks, But why a joint press conference?

All this talk of Club shop and CCFC signage being plastered everywhere.

The 'best deal the clubs ever received at the Ricoh'


Could it be that we actually finally have a stake in the place?

Don't see why its not just a released statement as we've had the times before, could more be afoot?

Hope so. If not that’s the next battle for us as fans: we’re here long term, let’s act like it.

We may have just got a good commercial deal, which is probably all we ever wanted. Now Wasps can demand more for stadium naming rights etc (which we should have a cut of). Now maybe we can move on as 'pals' hence the joint presser.

 

[cov donkey kick]

Think re wasps, time to move on and start afresh. Pusb

Agreed. Wasps (unfortunately) aren't going anywhere anytime soon so think from a CCFC point of view, this is the best we could have hoped for and we just need to focus on ourselves going forwards.

Ball is now in SISU's court about building any new ground so they have up to 10 years to put up or shut up

 

[jordan210]

Maybe its all part of some multi billionaires master plan. They are going to buy us and wasps. But need both teams in one location.

There won't be any ownership but it's certainly more of a commitment than in the past.

 

[peaches and cream]

'neils' on the Once a Wasp forum (think he's one of the cretin converts to the cause) thought they should charge CCFC 10 x the rent

As fans we just have to accept that some of the supporters of our clubs can be morons.

 

[fernandopartridge]

People on here think they should be run out of town with pitchforks. Not sure what the point of nut picking is.

We’re going to be sharing for ten years at least, probably best for everyone’s blood pressure if they just get over it.

I have got over it - see my post on the thread about whether or not it should be a new stadium or part ownership of the Ricoh, i'm just pointing out a post I'd read.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I think the joint press conference is a good sign. When previous deals were signed it was in a pretty adversarial way.

In some respects CCFC is a different proposition now who Wasps might want to associate more closely with (look how many times we've been on Sky this season at St Andrews), let's just hope we can stay up.

 

[Samo]

When is the press conference?

 

[Saddlebrains]

When is the press conference?

According to Guilbert today.

Or next week


Or shrove Tuesday 2024

I wonder if they’ll announce a new stadium sponsor at the same time? Big news story and maximum exposure.

I suppose under the circumstances it’s something we have to do remember both sides had dug their heels in so now have to show we are all friends again (don’t laugh) let’s get this deal signed and sealed and move on once it is done we won’t need Wasps again.

Nah. Any new sponsor would want a lot of distance between themselves and the kinds of grimey questions that could come up.

Yep, we are a much more attractive prospect. I'd imagine one of our games against a bigger Championship club would get more people watching than Wasps would in a season.

There's also iFollow as well.

Yeah I know. Not specifically at you, just a general let’s not go looking for lunatics cos you’ll always find them type thing.

Good Post, rowing with people helped get us to league 2. We need positive relationships with all partners unfortunately including Wasps, to have any chance of a saleable asset.

Yeah in an ideal world I'm not happy being beholden to Wasps. In this world however, it's a short enough deal we'll move into our new ground (lol) so keep our independence, and we are actually playing in the right city, in the only practical option at present.

 

[Paxman II]

Nothing on the CCFC website as yet. As this has made it to SkySports news, and other outlets then surely they can't hold back the official announcement till next week? EFL rubber stamping it we hear last night/today? So they would have to make this annoucement immenently surely? Lets hope all is as leaked out so far, and not another dead end. Past records btween these parties suggest further caution! But I really hope it's all true. Just terrible management if they wait a week to announce it now.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Its done.

When rumours have surfaced in the past either the club or wasps issued a statement denying it.

Also, the Beeb, Sky Sports , literally every media outlt has covered it.

They wouldnt do that without cast iron info.

Chill, sit in the bath and have a magnum

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Won’t be surprised if this doesn’t come off SISU will probably move the goal posts late knowing them

Very very unlikely

It could all be being worked through and the leak nothing to do with either party of course

 

[Nick]

Where did the leak come from last time? I am sure somebody said who it was.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Now i wonder who would be pissed off at a deal being reached seeing the club back at the ricoh and ourselves and wasps starting a new relationship

I’m also pretty sure the leak is trying to give news rather than previously where pressure was being put on for whatever reason

City of Culture year due to start, any coincidence?

Heard earlier SISU moved the goal posts late my pal reckons we requested a clause if we go down we can move back to Brum & everything fell silent after supposedly it was due to be signed off - conspiracy theory’s begin

Instructions unclear, now having awkward bath with Tom Selleck.
