I heard Robins wanted to sponsor the toilets because he ‘shits himself at this level’

Call it ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious‘ if you want, we’re playing there next season.

Nah would much rather be at St Andrews until the new stadium is built. Pubs are much better

 

[Philosoraptor]

Definitely going to be abbreviated to the Cov BS Arena after all the shenanigans.

Stewards are friendlier. I honestly don’t know why we have left

I've always gone for

"I'm going to the Ricoh Arena, built by The Miller Partnership and opening in 2005 to watch a match of professional association football involving Coventry City Football Club (founded in 1883 as Singers FC) and [insert opposition details]. The game will be played in the SkyBet Championship, the second tier of the English football pyramid.

Do you write Wikipedia articles?

 

[samccov1987]

Cant see it ever being called the Coventry Building Society Arena. Sure the trains have Coventry Arena rather than the Ricoh now mind.

On the plus side though Cov BS have our colours so chances of the seats changing are unlikely. I was waiting for the Wasps Nest so pleasantly surprised.

Only nerds write wikipedia articles and nerds make me so mad

Bit like no one calls the City of Manchester Stadium by that name its the Etihad

Coventry City - all in the name and history.

Really don't understand the mindset about not playing in City of the football club and majority of its supporters . I'm massively looking forward to going to a home game again.
I loved the RIcoh Arena and hope this fresh impetus of new sponsor will freshen our home up.

Alexa, give me a paragraph on why it's more than a naming deal without actually telling me why it's more than a naming deal.

Both parties are well into big mortgages

Going up the society.

Nah. Sounds like a dodgy student bar.

 

[Paxman II]

Well that's a mouthfull. Does not exactly roll off the tongue.

 

[hill83]

At least every home game is a banker

That’s got to be your shortest reply on a thread ever! And, I agree

The Telegraph has contacted former sponsor Bruce Rioch for comment

Reading Vaughans bullshit is stomach churning.
What a wanker.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Is there any money from this deal directed to CCFC ? As the value of the sponsorship is significantly diminished by only rugby played there

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Wasps aren’t disappearing guys - come on let’s just move forward now

 

[skyblueelephant76]

They were mooted quite a way back weren't they, possibly before Wasps rolled up.
Last time I checked their rates were higher than the competition.
Does that mean they can afford this or that they have less custom than the rest?

They're a good business but they're run for the benefit of their members so I can't see them paying a huge amount for the rights.

 

[wingy]

The stuff of dreams that....

Haha!

They haven't lost interest

We can both move forward and still hold the opinion that Wasps are scum who don't belong in the city. I'll never stop hoping they piss off but its not something I'll let ruin my matchdays.

It was a bugger when all those carpet baggers were around.
Same with my choice of pension scheme provider.
If only I'd gone with Widow's instead of life ?
Could do with finding one of those now!

The sooner we demutualise from Wasps the better

Reaction from Wasps and CCFC fans
Andrew said on Twitter: "I quite like it to be honest - it’ll definitely be shortened to CBS, but it’s nice rubber stamping the name Coventry on it again.

"The naming of a Japanese printing firm, home to a London rugby club, it might actually feel a bit more homely now."

Neil Morley tweeted: "It’ll be the Cov Arena to everyone after about a week of course, but cracking bit of business from Wasps Group.

"Now if we could just reorganise that giant Ricoh in the East stand seating into a giant WASPS that would be perfect."

 

[cc84cov]

So are they gonna be changing all the names at the ground then or is it a half hearted one where it will still have Ricoh everywhere

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Very little mention of the City in the press release, surprise, surprise it's all Wasps this, Wasps that. Well I say Wasps, bunch of cunts and always will be!

I read the Cov Building Society press release and they mention CCFC plenty.

Does that mean when the Wasps piddle off, there’s a chance of another shitty stadium name?

Is Neil Morley the odd guy on the wasps forum who hates SBT ?
