In my day, we walked to school in bare feet on broken glass ... and we liked it.

The best outcome to this sorry affair will be for Wasps to buy our club. I know that the usual suspects will say that there is no chance of that but they also said that nobody else would be interested in buying the stadium.

Well in that case then, as Private Frazer on Dad's Army would say We're Doomed, Doomed I say. :nailbiting: :jawdrop: :facepalm:Why is everybody talking about new owners? It's not going to happen people
No one was interested in buying the stadium - that's why it was ultimately sold for less money than the half share value we were offered. Anything less was described as "raping a children's charity"
The "usual suspects" would have expressed disgust if the club purchased the ground for the price wasps did - and that's without the small matter of a 200 year lease extension.
Some on here said it was worth £60 million. In the end it was worth less than a mediocre championship footballer on a 5 year deal.
I thought it was a white elephant ?
In that respect Wasps paid over the odds. How you confuse.
Sisu could have had it for less than the price of building a stadium half the size.
Wonder why they didn't?
Grendel you know they didn't want it.No one was interested in buying the stadium - that's why it was ultimately sold for less money than the half share value we were offered. Anything less was described as "raping a children's charity"

What is the definition if a white elephant?
That's probably because his school have drummed it into him that it's "Not the winning that counts, it's the taking part"
"A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness"
You must be delighted that CCC offloaded it on to Wasps then instead of lumbering us with it if you truly believe it's a white elephant. Which of course you don't. Although you'll never admit it.

No, nothing has been drummed into him. He just lives and breaths Coventry City, so fuck of with your cynicism.
Isn't the estimated maintenance cost now well over the £10m mark?
Why don't you open your eyes? You're so entrenched that you don't see it happening? Every school in every City, town, and village throughout Britain dampen the "Winning Culture" in all children. I don't think my post deserved your reply. I'll remember for the next time you say anything to one of my post.
Mine neither, 3 days in they are already trying to make teams to beat other schools....that's simply not true, the schools my kids attend don't. There may be some schools that do, but I wouldn't try and claim to have a knowledge of every school in Britain.

Indeed. It fits the definition perfectly. What Tony struggled with is a basic understanding of the terminology and acknowledge the status applies to the arrangement the club were in. If it wasn't a white elephant there would have been now need to slash the minimum offer price by half and extend the leasehold by 500%. That's the only way a valuation was going to meet the offer price.
A £113 million stadium being sold for under £6 million and it would have been under £2 million if the lease wasn't extended.
Clearly a business success.
So you must be delighted that the council unloaded such a burden on to Wasps then instead of us. You clearly think that the council did us a big favour and should have praise heaped on them for helping us dodge that bullet.
Clearly you also don't back JR 2 as you clearly believe that Wasps paid either market value or overpaid. In fact shouldn't it be Wasps who are seeking a review? They were clearly ripped off according to you.
More likely is you want your cake and eat it. It was both a worthless white elephant and wasps underpaid for it. No wonder you always think you're right. It doesn't how much your own opinions contradict themselves you'll always drag one or the other out to suit your argument. Do you know that using contradictions because you can never be wrong is a psychotic trait?
Are you actually capable of reading and understanding what's was said Tony?
Yes. That's why I understood that you were talking nonsense as usual with your usual duality.
Of course you understood. Of course.
