    Actually no i didnt i said that the timing of them ramping up their PR from a position of strength was good marketing .............. this advert is but a part of that increase. I suspect there will be other things to come The CT reaches a lot of the local population still however

    i dont disagree with that Moff. I didnt mean finger pointing from any one side. Got some time off shortly so will maybe try to get some ideas together. But it isnt straight forward no. By nature never been one to roll over and accept things blaming everyone else so that probably comes out in...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    not you on the conspiracy stuff Nick - sorry I did try to separate the reply But the concentration on the morals though admirable solves our reality how other than pointing fingers? - hasn't there been enough of that? And I am not saying we should forget but this board (bored) spends hours...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    Thing is Nick whilst morals are admirable and desired they are not going to make CCFC's position better. Morally no one would have Wasps here but they are and every day become deeper embedded in Coventry. Deal with the realities, CCFC grasp the nettle of the challenge it creates or CCFC drops...

    Coventry Evening Telegraph.

    Seriously what did you all think would happen, it was only a matter of time. Interesting to see how so many are so insecure about CCFC and its place in Coventry community. Says a lot about where our club has been led to. Sorry if some don't like what is said in this post - got to start dealing...

    We wont ever know will we. But things could and should have been so different I do wish people would let go of that £24m price tag though ....... it was a corridor conversation with no real substance as far as I can see. Negotiations for ownership of ACL (and therefore the income) at lower...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    Are either actually hedge funds or are they private equity funds SISU's speciality I would say is losses, I do not think of them as entrepreneurs . They go in buy the debt low (seemingly without discounting in the target) , drive the costs of a business down and look for a way out that...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    no worries zack Of course Wasps are spending money effort etc because they landed themselves here with no connection. As far as CCFC & CRFC are concerned I would argue that they have been complacent about the fans always being here - to my mind this is not unusual, many clubs do just that and...

    Conspiracy Question

    average crowd would need to be a lot higher than that. The £20 includes VAT for starters. What about all the other wages to be paid? Average match day income per head at CCFC has never been more that £11.30 since we moved to the Ricoh

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    I think it is more a matter of joining up the dots we know about. Long term Wasps could very well be a threat to CCFC's well being, and I am not saying that is their aim at all. It doesn't have to be that way but that will require from CCFC time effort, commitment and above all funding to change...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    It looks to me that if you crunch some of the numbers and compare the six months to 31/12/15 to 31/12/14 you get the ticket income per head has increased from around £13.20 to £15.85 (the full year was 14.47) That there would appear to be an increase in paying customers of something like 2500...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    always good to discuss things with you duffer, so I certainly don't have any issue with you seeing things differently or anyone else Just some additional thoughts and questions ..... Wasps are well less than two years in to a long term project. Is it reasonable to think that the group would be...

    WASPS Interim Accounts

    Sorry stupot but there is no point quoting the Trust Q&A's the whole basis of supply etc has changed since Wasps came in - those percentages no longer apply. That said there is little in it for the club Wasps in the interims quote F&B income as 3.193m in total (including the matches both...

    article in CT is here http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/wasps-rfc-confirm-ricoh-arena-11022072 Apparently the f&B per head for football is before CCFC take their cut. 18 games so far for CCFC 231720 attendance total - total F&B before split between Wasps and CCFC is £456,488. If costs taken...

    well they could issue bond no 2 for example . or go for a full flotation of the shares and repay with the proceeds. it isn't necessarily about saving up the cash out of profits
