According to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, the proposed sale of the shares in Ricoh Arena management company ACL has been voted through unanimously by Coventry City Council in a private vote

The radio station has tweeted - "I'm told the private vote on the Wasps Ricoh deal went through unanimously."

During the public part of the debate in the Council Chamber, there was not one Councillor who spoke against the deal which originally agreed in principle on September 18th.

Wasps will get a 250-year lease as part of the deal but the council will retain the freehold of the site.
