Major Ricoh Announcement Today

I presume the signs will read C.B.S.A.  You'd never get the whole wording onto the Family Stand.

Be good to try

Any 10 year deal has to be good but a local name compared to an international name?

I wonder how much Wonga that is worth?

[MarleyWasp]

In the current climate, Wasps have done very well to secure a 10 year deal on the naming rights.

Being a member (my money!) their main logo is Lady Godiva on a horse in two tone blue so I can see that on the outside plus a bloody big sticker on the roof!

Apparently Coventry Building Society is the UK’s second largest building society! I did not know that

[Steve from Cov]

Excellent news!

Coventry Building Society is a very successful company who have flown under the radar for a long time. It makes perfect sense.

'The CBS'?

Hats off to Derek and Stephen and team for pulling this one off. 👌

Often referred to as "The Coventry" so maybe we'll just call the Arena that. There shouldn't be any more confusion as to which city we play in now.

The Coventry Building Society is viewed favourably in the West Midlands area, I think this will only strengthen Wasps ties to the region/City of Coventry, and drive up support. This coupled with the Henley-in-Arden training facilities and an improvement in relations with Coventry City FC means affairs off the pitch are definitely moving upward.

Vodafone, Hummel and this in the space of a month. Not bad going.

[Shugs]

They might not be that well known nationally but they are a very large building society who have a reputation for doing things properly. This looks a good deal to me on the face of it.

[Vespula Vulgaris]

It's fantastic news, and can only be massively beneficial for the Wasps group. If it provides some longer term stability to be able to kick on and develop the site into a full blown conference venue and finally get Derek some return on all the money he's poured into it then I'll be happy.
