Opinion: What Coventry City's new ground plans could mean for Wasps
Wasps reporter Bobby Bridge reflects on latest Coventry City development and the impact it could have on Waspswww.coventrytelegraph.net
I'm not going to Highfield Road it's too rough round there
I'm not going to the Ricoh it's too hard to park
I'm not going to St Andrews, we need to play in Coventry
I'm not going to Warwick Uni it's too congested
Fucking melts

Is this the most negative thing the Telegraph have ever written about Wasps?If that is the best propaganda they can put out we’re doing well
Although the article somehow manages to also come to the conclusion that us not being there, and having another stadium in the city, will make it easier for them to sell the naming rights.If the University of Warwick proposal for a new ground gathers steam and becomes a reality, this potential for reconciliation between Coventry City and Wasps disappears. There would be a severing of the ties.
Coventry City's furnishings would likely be removed and most traces of them from a 'former ground'. Where would this leave Wasps' reputation in the city where it played its first home game in December 2014?
In a region where they will need to attract increasing amounts of support to help fill seats for matchdays? There would be no happy ending and, in many quarters, a black mark placed against the Wasps name.

Some Wasps fans comments are so far out of touch.
They seem to have no idea about their own situation either. Deluded.
What about MK Dons away though?
That’s wha annoys me - cannot understand why we won’t just be subservient and prop up their business.Big fan of this comment.
“ It’s a real shame that there’s people wishing for the demise of a club that’s been around for over 150 years. At the end of the day we’re all fans of a sports team based in Coventry and you’d be hard pressed to find a Wasps fan who’s ideal situation wouldn’t be cohabiting the Ricoh with a Sisu-less CCFC.”
Wonder why Wasps fans would be in favour of cohabiting the Ricoh with is while they’re continue to rinse us, weird that.
if he actually wrote that then w***s are in the shit. His usual sickly stories he makes up brings a little bit of sick up.He couldn’t write anything to nasty it’s nearly freebie time for him.

Why doesn’t he also add that W***s long term future is in doubt and should ask how £50m debt is going to be serviced along with £35m next year. If he hasn’t thought about asking them questions he’s a shittier journalist than we all thought!

18-20k capacity apparently. Somewhere for our A team to play!
I think that should read 1-2k capacity apparently. Somewhere for our A team to play!
But what about the free kits they butter him up with? I imagine he hasn’t thought for one minute that they are buying positive coverage and influencing him?He never asks them the tough questions he is a useless journalist and hopefully when they clear off they take their lap dog with them.
Sounds like they weren’t aware either
I mean for me, it’s less that there’s a new reason not to trust them, more than there’s no a new reason to trust them. We’ve been here before and got nowhere so it’s still very early days.
That said I hope it comes off and I think it’s the second best place behind the city centre for a new ground.
I think that they're partnering with one of the most reputable universities in the country should give some hope.

They're just not getting it on the Wasps forum, are they? Unless I've completely misunderstood the club agreed to cease legal action, but the complaint to the EU cannot be dropped.
The sticking point then became Wasps insistence on an indemnity clause, in case Coventry City Council were found to have acted incorrectly in their sale to Wasps.
Let me just say that again, because I can't believe that anyone should be able to misunderstand this, or support it.
Wasps want CCFC to cover the costs of the Council's maladministration, should they be found by a completely independent arbiter to have acted incorrectly.
To me, that's akin to buying a stolen car from somebody, being obliged to hand it back or pay proper value, and then expecting the original owner to refund you for your losses because he reported the crime.
