If you are talking about Wasps I didn't use them as an example, I responded to Ashdown's post and I mentioned Bees (different stingy insect entirely)
But yes, if they have even a suspicion that Wasps might struggle they will keep up the pretence.
Your first point kind of underlines my own... If you don't even live in the city, an extra few hundred yards is even less of an issue surely? As for your second point, well, people find a way. It doesn't seem to deter the Bees fans
What is this obsession with boundaries? You could build a stadium 100 yards from the Ricoh that's outside the city boundary, you'd attend one and not the other?
I think its pretty straightforward, he will stay if:
1. We stay up
2. He is given what he sees as adequate funding
So No.1 makes it unlikely and No.2 makes it very unlikely.
