Bit of a loaded question considering that they have not yet played once at the ricoh...surely this question we can only guage a year from now
What have you done to benefit ccfc?
Answer: committed to relaying the pitch....
Lol.

Richardson's company is called Moonshine. Moonshine are part of MGI Fiduciary Services (Malta). Wasps owners are, ultimately, MGI. Being based in Malta is presumably beneficial to them.Nick Eastwood: Derek Richardson owns Wasps not a Hedgefund. Wasps own 100% of ACL. No other parties involved.
so whats with all the mgi, maltese hedge fund stuff we've been hearing for weeks? more spin and lies?
True, but it's more the fact it is more of a benefit to them than it is to us. They get a pitch that will take a lot of games, look good on tv (they're on a lot), will take a lot of wear and tear enabling then to rent it out to us and others.

Michael asked a decent question:
I wouldn't say that is being done to help CCFC is it? Are Wasps going to play indoors?
Well, if MGI / Moonshine / Wasps can really look people in the eye and say with a straight face ''this isn't a franchise'' then I'm not convinced they're going to be much different to SISI...though more efficient perhaps.The cracker so far:
'This move isn't franchising'
That’s right Nick, Wasp’s are improving the pitch all for themselves. After all, you need a bowling green surface for that elliptical shaped ball to zip across the surface with pinpoint precision.

Exactly, it is for their benefit.
Will Leicester and WBA continue renting if it is a shit pitch? It's like me trying to rent a house out but having dog shit all over the carpet.
So wasps looked at the Ricoh in December 2013.
Did SISU get given a deadline of Jan 14 to put in decent offer for ACL. Otherwise the council would be forced to consider alternatives options.
SISU let the deadline go and said we are building a new stadium, freehold or nothing?
Exactly, it is for their benefit.

Others rent a house and despise their landlord due to jealously
No, it all started this summer, Ann said.
Keep thinking up random situations to blame SISU
Do you realise how stupid that sounds? Which club will be playing more games on it and which sport is reliant on an even playing surface. You could play Rugby Union on a farmers field.
So is moonshine owned by Richardson or MGI? Only you appear to say both.
So I have thought it up? Or did it happen?
Did SISU get given a deadline to bid?
Was the deadline after wasps expressed an interest?
Did they get warned the council would move on?
Did they bid? No
Did they say freehold or nothing? Yes
Did the council move on? Yes
Which bit am I thinking up?
Thats what I was asking, what was actually bought?
So wasps looked at the Ricoh in December 2013.
MGI, at least from it's website, looks more like a financial services company than a hedge fund. Do they actually own a stake in Moonshine, and if so how much, or do they provide services to them? As you point out if MGI own Moonshine and Moonshine own Wasps then Richardson doesn't own anything.
I don't know for a fact as mine was a gift but it's obvious that we don't own the brick and certainly wouldn't have any rights to do anything with it. No company would be stupid enough to sell something like that.
So they are doing it entirely for CCFC then?
Pretty sure as landlords it is kind of expected isn't it for the pitch to be in good condition? They aren't going out of their way to do it for CCFC are they?
This is CCFC....

And to look good for the cameras. Ever seen Murrayfield at its worst?
They're doing it for the mutual benefit of both clubs you great steaming idiot. Trouble is, you like many others are that blinded by your vicious hatred you can't see it.
No, they are doing it because they are the landlord. You can't fault them for doing it as it needs to be done.
It will also be benefitting the women, wba, leicester and anybody else who uses it so it is in their interest as the landlord to have a good pitch isn't it?
Where have I been vicious? You just tried to say it wouldn't be for their benefit as rugby clubs don't need good pitches. Make your mind up.
Not women,WBA,Leicester or anybody else
Yep, It's all Linnell has been banging on about since they brought the Ricoh - Wasps will improve the pitch so it looks good on tv.

Have they all been fucked off? In which case I apologise for being wrong if they aren't playing there now.
I asked one and gave a bit of advice.
First It was reported the deal was For £30M but ended up at £20M.
As you've now got a spare ten mill kicking round can you offer It to SISU to FO.
Reply don't believe all you read In the papers.
The Advice was to Shake It up at ACL If they wanted a return as they've been In the comfort zone .
