Fisher blocks the road with his car, claiming oil slick, delaying Wasps executives and Seppala sneaks into the back office of the Higgs charity and does a deal at gunpoint.

I can live with that to be honest, Wasps at one end and Sky Blues at the other. Preferable to yellow and black seats.
Make them an offer they can't refuse you mean - "Either your brains or your signature will be on that piece of paper"

That's the saddest part of this. Just thinking that this could have been us.

We should also boycott khaki shorts and brown sandals.
Total cut off from any rugby association. We can also ban the names Tarquin and Rupert and anything double barrelled.

Makes perfect sense for @WaspsRugby to just be called Wasps,not Coventry wasps.Can appeal to a wider Midlands fan base that way.
Makes perfect sense for us too, because we don't want our name anywhere near that club.

The only way it could work would be a 50:50 partnership otherwise its a new stadium.

Why don't the owner of wasps say to sisu here's a few quid for ccfc, I'd like to run them also. We have total revenue streams then an a world class home hopefully with cash injection to playing side. Just a thought.

A Coventry charity started by a Coventry man should prefer to sell to CCFC surely?
You know what hurts the most, the sale of Callum Wilson could of bought a 50% stake in the Ricoh- oh and we still would of had 250k left over

Ann Lucas said on CWR this morning that she was only contacted in July this year by wasps?

£2.77M for Higgs' share?

No. I think you will find that is 3 people.
We couldn't afford all those wages so had to get rid of Johnson and Clarke and Harris.

If Wasps are serous about keeping us at the Ricoh long term they should offer us 50% today.
I think wasps are under the impression that we will be happy to remain as tenants indefinitely.

sitting next to a wasps fan at work - his view
current crowds around 5k
Expects only around 1k to travel to Coventry (this is similar to % of ccfc fans who went to northampton - so probably about right)
They are relying on attracting local support
With local rugby fans following Cov and Leicester - really cannot see that happening any time soon
It is an interesting one - but unless wasps rebrand/merge with Cov - can see them being swatted away

She's talking bollocks. No one plans for 2 years and not check out if it's a goer.

Eastwood (Wasps): 'I look forward to the day that Sky Blues fans look at us and say "our home is your home"'
Personally speaking, for me that day is never going to happen. This is a franchise team from London, taking over our home.
The way I'm feeling now, they can have the f*cking place and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Much as I like rugby, I'll never set foot in there to watch Wasps. As long as they own it, I don't really want to go there to watch football either. I wish the franchise nothing except abject failure I'm afraid.
I know SISU f*cked up in an epic way, and I know that's led to all of this. But that still didn't give the Council and Higgs Trust the right to sell us down the river, and worse, to a franchise!
I detest SISU, and the new stadium idea has clearly been bullshit from the off. But now the club has had its hand forced, let's get the hell away from the current and future clowns running ACL, and start really thinking about somewhere (ideally in the city) that does belongs to the club. It would be good if SISU f*cked off too at some point.

the most important question was asked !
Do you think now we're a Rugby/Football team we'll be able to drink in the stands? #silverlining #pusb
