Blueman1967 Posted 9 June 2019 Posted 9 June 2019 Let them share ground with us for the time being, in light in what happen with the chairman, and other clubs rallying around us, remember playing play off semi final at forest when we were building man stand and they are my arch rivals.

That club's on its arse with no obvious way out. In a relatively short space of time as well, mismanagement of the highest order, feel sorry for them and the fans, it just goes to show what can happen.

Shows how lucky we are with our owners. We could easily have ended up in the mess like others with bad luck. But I agree it is crazy what's happening over there
Wymsey Posted 10 June 2019 Posted 10 June 2019 Don't understand what their current owners, SISU, want?.. I presume it's about them trying to drive rent charges down to use the Ricoh Arena, but the current stadium owners have rejected the request?

They're trying to find dirt on how Wasps bought the stadium, saying they paid too little for whats its actually worth. Assume they're either trying to get money out of it, get rid of Wasps or lower their rent. It's just backfired hilariously, as wasps put their foot down hard.

It's long rumoured Wasps are struggling financially and SISU are seeking a way of upsetting that even further. Both parties entered talks earlier this year with the proviso that no legal action would be taken out. Quelle surprise SISU in a secretive manner referred the Wasps purchase of the stadium to the EU. SISU originally wanted to make the stadium a dead asset to the charity/council. Then Wasps came along. Now they want Wasps gone. As it is the only way SISU make money is to get the stadium. The football club needs serious capital to achieve the Premier League and SISU either don't have the money/don't wish to risk the capital.

I'm not arsed about rugby but I'd love to see Wasps go out of business. No place for franchise clubs in this country, particularly when there's already a local club in the area.
Fox1970 Posted 12 July 2019 Posted 12 July 2019 Growing up in south Leicestershire, I hated this lot. While there are many genuine supporters suffering from this debacle, I cannot help but laugh delightedly at the mess that the whole club are in.
Koke Posted 21 October 2019 Posted 21 October 2019 Decent start to the season for them but they have faded lately. Not scored a goal in 3 games. Currently 6th still.
Corky Posted 5 November 2019 Posted 5 November 2019 375 at their match against Southampton kids tonight. 7 away fans. Just what the FL were hoping for when they parachuted reserve teams into a competition they weren't needed in.

What we want to see is our academy kids in the final against another PL academy team and then maybe the EFL will see the error of their ways.
Fox1970 Posted 6 November 2019 Posted 6 November 2019 It is still good to see Coventry where they are. Karma for them blocking up the top tier like a huge smelly turd throughout the 70s and 80s and 90s. Doing nothing while they were there (apart from one fortunate FA Cup win) and a waste of time.

I've no affinity to Coventry but I am struggling to find the logic behind this. How many years should a club be allowed in first tier without a top half finish? What's wrong with 7th or higher?
