Recall the council leader at the time (Mutton I think) declaring it wasn't a development opportunity.

I thought, from memory, that Mutton met with Joy and that Joy was going to find investors for a development next to the Ricoh. Joy having majored in real estate, should have been able to put something together- regardless of the soccer club. She knows nothing about soccer according to herself. Would have thought a good relationship with the council and bringing investors to the city, would have been a good way of going, pity someone else ended up doing it.
I'm not digging out the Shapiro quote yet again, so you'll have to
Was just a straightforward spunkathon gamble originally for SISU.
No you do it, I don't know where to dig......;-)
You have to laugh, if you replaced Armstrong and Wasps with Fisher and CCFC in that statement there would be uproar.
Think it shows the 'waiting for Wasps to break plan' is wishful thinking
They don't seem to be too bothered about anything. Although saying that the only Wasps supporter I know was far from happy saying they should concentrate on rugby. And he's one of the new local supporters.Wasps fans must view things differently to us then, is there no uproar from them?
How so? Adding another £100m to the debt pile is only a good thing if they make more back. If this piece of land is so easy to make a profit off why were CCC / ACL unable to find anybody willing to develop it for so long?Think it shows the 'waiting for Wasps to break plan' is wishful thinking
Currently there is a railway line then a car park to overlook from the back gardens of the nearest houses, frankly what is any worse about a hotel, hell they might even get a budget to have some green stuff planted as part of the planning conditions if they play their cards right.Aren't the people who live near to car park c lucky they are going to have a big ugly hotel overlooking them, I hope the locals fight the council planners all the way.

Does surprise me how more isn't said. They've just admitted, despite previous denials, that they've used the club as a front for property development moving them halfway across the country in the process.
Their own fans don't seem to bat an eyelid and you even get our fans praising them for doing it!
