Constantly giving away copious amounts of free tickets long term devalues the product not to mention is offensive to those who have parted with actual money to buy them. Not sure about the standard of harliquins but let's hope they play their best game of the season vs the pests.

nope, very little interest.
100% this, people were pointing this out when they first got here. You can't give away tickets like confetti and then suddenly expect people to pay for them. You've made your own product worthless.

Well we don't really need any more do we? The council after all turned down Marriott. Surely they would deny Wasps too.

Don't see anyway even our council can approve Wasps application having turned down one literally metres away on the basis it would take business away from the city centre.
Surely whoever put that application in would be straight on to their lawyers if that happened.
Also have Wasps actually paid to have this lease option and now a seemingly never ending extension. The councils excuse when it was initially issued was a need for hotels for City of Culture but today's article says any hotel won't be ready in time for that.

More state aid. Would something like that strengthen SISUs case?

Genuine question, why do we care ?. The club won’t benefit

Yeah they've been getting ready to submit a planning application for the new training centres for a few years

Do you not see a pattern of behaviour from the council to benefit Wasps over anybody else? That should be a concern both in relation to CCFC and as local residents in general.

Because any SISU is likely to bankrupt Wasps - excellent short term news that would open up a better chance for us to return to the Ricoh in some capacity.
we can then look at the long term aim of removing SISU when they pocket any compensation from wasps deal for the Ricoh being wrong

Most businesses resorting to that end up going bump, it's a sign of desperation
Not a totally daft suggestion
Hotel operators can get long term funding to put up a building, it is then franchised out
If they cannot buy the site - the landowner can grant a long lease with an upfront premium and ongoing rentals. A budget hotel could raise £5k a year per room.

So why would the council block others apart from one that Wasps can basically make money from because they have planning permission and the lease for the land?
Besides, it was taking the next step a year and a half ago - 150-bed Ricoh Arena hotel plans to take major step forward

Surely they would have in rates from the one they rejected permission for because it wasn't needed?

if a hotel is commisioned maybe we can email marriot and tell them people of coventry are winning to back their appeal or protest!

Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you're saying a hotel chain, lets use Travelodge as an example, build a hotel paying all the costs. Once that hotel is built Travelodge then pay Wasps to rent the hotel despite Wasps having not put a penny in.
How does that work? They aren't paying rent for the site as the land belongs to the council.
Nick

Yeah but Wasps have the friends to get the planning permission while others closeby are rejected because they aren't needed

What would the different be in this development compared to the hotel they have just refused planning for next to the Ricoh on the basis it would detract from the city centre. Not the first hotel application the council have rejected on that basis.
Nick

It wouldn't be Wasps asking for it?
Maybe Wasps could get planning permission and then sell the Lease on the land with permission for a quick buck
The Hotel Chain will pay "WASPS" effectively a rent for the site - in the absence of buying the land.
No idea what the deal is between CCC and WASPS - but the former wont let this happen for nothing ...............................or will they ?

But Wasps don't own the land. The land belongs to the council. What value do Wasps add to earn a cut of money that would otherwise be going to the taxpayer?
It would be debatable if it was a good deal for the taxpayer if they were leasing the land off the council and paying to build the hotel themselves before renting that out. This appears as if they're doing literally nothing other than put their name on a planning application so it gets approved where others have been turned down which of course raises other concerns.
I think WASPS have/ had an option on the land that has been extended in to next year to achieve planning
I doubt the Council will sell the land but could grant a long lease for a premium / annual rental or both
