[AFCCOVENTRY]

Meeting next week in Westminster between Wasps, council and CCFC with SoS Jeremy Wright.

No deal struck for Ricoh or talks until Sisu drops legal.

 

---

[oldskyblue58]

It will be a short meeting sadly I feel

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Means EFL deadline not going to be met tomorrow.

 

[Magwitch]

Tomorrow isn’t a deadline date it’s the date we, ccfc, have to officially inform the EFL where we are playing our home games next season.
Deadline day at the moment is 26th of April.

 

[covcity4life]

Do you mean this meeting was last week?

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

I'll go along with oldskyblue58 probably won't even sit down.

 

[chiefdave]

Does this indicate a slight softening of Wasps stance? They've refused to meet the club, refused Coventry Cathedrals mediation offer but have said yes to this.

 

[ccfcway]

depends which way you want to look at it,

softening their approach
ticking all the boxes

and everywhere in between

You’d hope so, everyone benefits from CCFC remaining at the RICOH in the short term.

do they ?, surely if they club have to go elsewhere for a 2nd time and lose further income, it is a larger claim should SISU win a court case in the future ?

There seemed to be a lot of people assuming they wouldn't file accounts and therefore the club would have an embargo and that a groundshare would be a no go with the EFL.

Accounts filed and signs a groundshare is already being discussed. Maybe their constant claims they don't need the club are similar to Lucas constant 'washing its face' comments.

I think the EFL mite extend the deadline by a week to allow the meeting to take place too.....

I think Wasps and CCC will have indepenent witnesses as to how hard it is trying to deal with Susi personally i dont think Sisu will even turn up.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be in London Wasps’ interest to put the club on a rolling one year deal, maybe even with an annual increase in rent, say 10%, until the legals are over.

Rolling in shit

Rolling in shit

is that an Adele B side ?

I really can’t wait until the London parasites leave us alone

As much as fucking can’t stand those bastards called SISU somebody needs to remind W****s that the legal won’t stop even if the put CCFC out of business. Killing the club will turn into W****s despised joke of an outfit into a hated despised outfit and will badly effect any hope of a foothold in the city.

Imagine next season a work colleague telling you they had been to the Ricoh to watch W****s? The shit they should/would get?!

 

[Elvis Pressley]

How many people watch wasps anyway?

Wasps aren’t in that strong of a position. On the field, results are getting worse and key players are wanting to leave, things could get worse next season. Off the field, they’re in debt, their losses are increasing and if attendances decrease because the team is doing badly — things could easily take a turn for the worst there. I’m no expert on Wasps or indeed finances as a whole, so my knowledge is pretty limited here.

I’m not so sure Wasps can actually afford to run CCFC out of town.

For anyone interested, this may be a worthwhile read:

I know for a fact W****s have had a blow to there finances next year off the pitch and interesting a W****s ‘die hard’ said today at work there Not renewing there season ticket next year. There going to struggle to stay up next season from what I hear.

People are so focused on their (rightful) hatred of sisu that they don't realise if new owners come in we're still in the situation where we'll be hampered without access to revenues or be forced to build a new ground.

 

[theferret]

The thing is, I've been told by two people very close to all this that a deal for up to 5 years is already done. Everything we are seeing now is about saving face and about all sides not wanting to be seen to have backed down. Just get on and announce it so that all the hand-wringing can stop.

Would be interesting to know what the split was between original W***s fans, and people from Coventry.

 

[Limey]

theferret has been reliable in the past iirc. Not an unlikely scenario is it?

Heard something similar but from someone who saod he spoke to a player & they had a meeting stating a deal was going to be done true or not who knows...

So he says a meeting next week is being held but no change of stance regarding talks till legal date dropped...

Surely a meeting is talks no ?

The meeting can only be a positive. I'm no fan of our current government but it's good to see they are at least trying to mediate. Not to say it will work, but at least they are trying.

Fuck wasps

Perhaps the 5 year deal, if true, is ready to go the moment the legal action stops. If the appeal fails a few days before the deadline, no negotiations are needed because they'd already have been done, and it's just a case of announcing it. Doesn't mean any stances have changed, just that a caveated deal is ready to go.

and Fisher's 'we've moved on' and 'building a new stadium'....just for balance

We are surrounded by bullshit

Im sick of all these meetings they keep having

Or that London Wasps actually need us at the staidum, I bet they’re gutted we’ve had a relatively successful couple of seasons.
