And a club shop while they don't have one , feels like we own it these days tbh

I think there’s a reason that you can’t find an attendance anywhere…

It's lovely to see the empty seats. Especially knowing one of my mates who deserted us is up there freezing his bollocks off.

Assuming this is now, are they playing now?

They played earlier , were 16 up at HT and lost , maybe he is still there pondering about why he left the sky blues

They were getting a solid 9k every match at Wycombe.. I feel like they'd belong somewhere like Birmingham, be welcomed I mean

Where is Italia ?

Can't see how they can afford to pay the players, running the stadium, paying for Henley in Arden etc, if like OSB said Richardson hasn't put any money in for 3 years then where is their finance coming from?

 

[Deleted member 7943]

Wonder how much they make from us being there , if its not alot then I can't see how they can sustain this for let's say ... a decade

If we by some large stroke of fortune end up in the top flight I imagine the rent will go up considerably. Though it does again raise the intriguing idea of buying them out with the proceeds

Like LG said we must have primacy tenancy, we have our own club shop and ticket office, they have nothing, must be soul destroying for their players too, got to be less than 5000 there. They might as well ground share with Cov RFC at the Butts!

Or atleast half initially would be a nice idea

Wow, some irony there isn't there

I'd want us to own all of the stadium full stop.

I often wonder the same about the likes of Stockport or Solihull in the round ball game.

Where exactly does the money come from?

What you mean ?

Nah it would need to be 100%. It would also mean really giving up the ghost on a serious attempt at top flight survival

 

[Philosoraptor]

I think we are at the start of the inevitable collapse.

I just don't want to see parties trying to cash in on the sale of the Arena to save themselves from some amazing debt.

If they didn't own the Ricoh then Birmingham would make a lot of sense. Moving to the Alexandra stadium post commonwealth games would suit and there wouldn't be the tribal animosity against them being seen to have stolen from a football team. Brummies would probably welcome them and they'd have a chance of decent crowds.

If they could shift the debt with a CBS sale and get some favourable terms over there I think they'd be mad not to consider it.

They havnt got a 32000 arena to look after, I'm sure their owners and local businesses help with sponsorship and wages are nothing like premiership rugby players.

I think most of us would take a season of getting battered in the PL if it meant owning the arena and having £100m in the championship.

Would probably end up with new owners too.

 

[Deleted member 7943]

Would the council be able to stop wasps selling the arena to coventry city In the unlikely event of it ever happening ?

Owning the arena with no debt hanging over it is the key thing. Though I'd imagine promotion alone could be enough for SISU to sell

Would they walk away from a potential 100 mill a season if they could stay up on a budget ? Be like a Burnley so to say

Good point. And, as I live nearish to the ground I'll wander through the car park on my way to Tesco on the occasional weekday.

The car park is generally busy, so I assume the Arena is generating income through the week.

Maybe the conferences etc. are sustaining the rugby club. They can't be surviving on their attendances alone.

Yes don't think Joy would want anything less than 100%, The council have been quiet for a bit too thank fuck, hopefully some of the more intelligent councillors can see the benefit of having a successful football team at the stadium and the feelgood factor in the area at the moment rather than pig headed attitude of Mutton, Lucas and Duggins

The club does still get internally mocked by some council figures from what I hear.

They were on BT Sport, that's why day and time (can't remember another game on a Sunday at this time). Due to the international Rugby I think

When they dont announce attendance keep an eye on here

By the looks of that they’re not doing too bad attendance wise? If the figures announced are correct of course

7k a match currently if figures are true.
