I think this is money to support the commonwealth games not the stadium bailout. (I hope)

Guys- happy to be shot down here but I don’t think it is the recent hand out request but from a previous project (commonwealth games)

I bloody well hope so!!!!

@Grendel has pointed out on the other thread it's probably for the hotel. That would make sense.

O Boyle Maton duggins will not be on any grant panel for Wasps claim

This will be Martin Reeves who will be supporting the claim to the panel

Martin Reeves, the one with no links to it all? ha

He will argue the case if it ever gets to panel on the basis of lost jobs, local economic impact on other businesses. Community standing etc

I have looked back to Aug 21. It is for the hotel

It's quite hard to keep a track of the various bits of public funding that Wasps and related entities have been in receipt of, less mentioned is the fee they got from the CWG for hosting the games (said to be in the region of £4m) - this is on top of the £5.3m investment from the CWLEP.

CCC of course are represented on the boards of CWG, CWLEP and WMCA.

And to think the council told us we couldn't have an ownership stake in the Ricoh as taxpayer money going to a private business would be state aid!

What is also interesting is their training ground.

Isn't somebody going to be making a lot of money from housing there?

Reeves reminds me of the dad who manages the football team who keeps picking their kid who's shit and trying their best to make them a pro.

Not sure it will be "telegraph" worthy, but Mr Gilbert is doing what a proper journalist should do... we are just not used to it after being used to Telegraph doing the PR for Wasps and CCC and most falling for it!!

Yes, amazing how people's loyalties change when the (marketing) money runs out...

That needs to be re-tweeted to Andy Street and the rest of the gullibles in power.

I know for a fact you can still donate to the defunct charity which was struck off for failing to file accounts

Come on BSB, we all know when you want to expand your offering you close down the charity completely first and then restart it, normal business practice as Fisher would say

Plans have been announced to reinstate the club's foundation ... to increase community outreach and funded programmes.

The new charitable foundation, expected to be launched in coming months, would focus on not-for-profit programmes and activities funded by donations or third parties, the rugby club has said.

Wasps doing something and expecting it to be funded by someone else, must be a mistake.

In contrast :

Coventry Rugby is delighted to announce that the new home and away playing shirts for the 2022/23 are here! A brand new navy-blue home shirt, and a classical, Coventry sky-blue away jersey are available to purchase from the club shop.
