....... heard a rumour that WASPS are looking to move back down South after next season, with MK Dons looking like their destination. Probably bollocks, but I need this to be true so fuck it!!
Would still feel sorry for the original fans though.Considering that they took advantage of our misfortune and couldn't care less about our existence or that of the city's actual rugby team, I genuinely hope they go out of business.
Why would you start a rumour?Hhmm I think I started this rumour, so there goes any suggestion there is a factual basis for it (or if there is, I sure don't know about it)
If the owner wanted out, and its been said Wasps is taking up a ever increasing amount of his personal wealth at a rate he can't sustain, would it make sense to sell the stadium separately to the club?Completely get this if they were renting, but surely the Ricoh dynamic of owning the stadium comes into play ? How do they fair with owning a stadium with no tenants ?

Wasps academy isn’t there you twonk.
Hummm I’m not sure your right on this one but stand corrected. I was told it’s just the first team training on the one pitch, changing in temporary changing rooms and eating in the pub. Broad street have a few teams as well training so not sure how they can fit wasps academy as well? I stand corrected but just saying what I was told...Actually because of how they allocate the areas to the premiership teams the wasps academy operates both in Coventry and Oxford. The Oxford site deals with the southern part of the area wasps have. Broad street covers Warwickshire. I think there might be a third site too.
The rumour ? Sorry but I don't see wasps moving from the ricoh. Just my opinion of course

I know. I wore a black armband for a whole three and a half weeks after that.I didn't mean to. I just thought bit sounded like the logical thing for them to do; they're losing money so they can sell the Ricoh to pay the debts, move to Buckinghamshire which is much more of their area, and play in a ground whose seats are much closer to their own colours. Must have been bellowing this theory in the pub too loudly and someone's taken it seriously.
A bit like when Alan Partridge inadvertently led a newspaper to report that the Queen had died.
All the while SISU are constantly hammered for not building a new stadium while w**ps go unchallenged in their lies.After they gave up on having it in Coventry, despite the promises of a new state of the art facility open to the public when they arrived, it was supposed to be in Leamington piggy backing off another rugby club but I don't think they've even put in for planning permission.
Speaking of planning don't think they've made any progress with the hotel on car park c or the housing by Higgs - appreciate that's the owner not Wasps themselves but all adds to a picture that something isn't quite right.
Gosh, if ONLY there was some kind of local sporting team that might be willing and able to rent/buy the empty ricoh stadium in the event of wasps vacating it.Completely get this if they were renting, but surely the Ricoh dynamic of owning the stadium comes into play ? How do they fair with owning a stadium with no tenants ?
that wont be happening, it was a fear 3-5 years ago when they were playing matches there but since they have built the new stand at franklin gardens and cant fill the stadium as is there is no requirement to move them to MK as they can hold all the European games at home now should they ever make the quarter finals againA Saints fan I know recons that it’s Saints that are being lined up for a move to MK. He recons a precedent has been set by the Wasps move and he’s non too happy about it. I’d love it if it was Wasps but I can’t see it, they have too much invested in the Ricoh with their bond. Unless/until they go tits up I think we’re stuck with them.
...and in any way, regardless of the Wasps precedent, I don't think their move can be considered a success (yet if ever)that wont be happening, it was a fear 3-5 years ago when they were playing matches there but since they have built the new stand at franklin gardens and cant fill the stadium as is there is no requirement to move them to MK as they can hold all the European games at home now should they ever make the quarter finals again
