When you say a great sustainable flow of sporting events to Coventry, are you just referring to Wasps games? as I cant see what else is coming. Re international rugby matches, I do believe all the home nations have their own grounds so why would they come to the Ricoh? As for a better draw...

Well if its as many as I have met then its a huge zero so far.

I think their income streams will be significantly less than what they are predicting, and revenue streams may be a lot tighter than they think. Their projections for attendances are akin to those of one Mr Fisher when we moved to Northampton. Lets not forget that these are the same people that...

Lets hope they dont just fekk off again when the going gets tough. Perhaps they will try Nottingham or Sheffield next or wherever they feel the whim takes them.

I hope Wasps get slaughtered everygame. In the fine words of Kevin Keegan, 'I would love it'

Yep and I cant see any cast iron information on it. I take it nor can you as perhaps you would have answered the question I asked. Have you ever worked in politics? Edit - Fred I totally agree with your views on our owners, and that we would have no influence on the sale to Wasps, but I totally...

Brilliant! Laughed so hard at this as did my kids! :claping hands:

Where is the detail in the Wasps takeover that they will be regenerating the area around the Arena?

Put up your Dukes now! Lucas Licker* (* Try not to get that thought in your head)

Wheat sheaf five minutes, and lets sort this out, queensbury rules. No one calls me a SISU lover. Next it will be the A word.....you know apologist and all that. (*NB I should note that I dont really believe a new stadium will be built just that Hill's comment made me titter a little, even...

Fred seriously you make the same post every time. Yes we know its cloud cuckoo, everyman and his dog on the site know that. Are you a fan of franchise clubs then?

I have children. They have one club, always have and always will. CCFC only. Its the same in all the sports they like, one team and one team only. Their choice, so comparing all kids to you or your grandchildren is comparing apples to pears.

Makes you laugh doesnt it. People would rather a franchise rugby team have it. Coventry twinned with Milton Keynes.

Hmmm bought out by the Wasps Consortium. Of course what we really need is new ownership by a group of faceless investors, with a complex ownership structure, where there is no full transparency of where funding is coming from and of course who are prepared to move the Club to a completely new...

Only if he is wearing his train drivers outfit! Choo Choo all aboard the Byng self publicity train!

Sorry Dongo, the Saints fan wouldnt be exited to see wasps, I just dont buy that. Wasps are average at best, Saints are Champions. Why would he not go to watch his team in a full stadium with a great atmosphere, and instead watch a distinctively average team in a stadium about one fifth full...

Yep as well as the Wasps Chairman will be with his predictions. Maybe Fisher gave him some advice for comedy effect.

Has he taken prediction lessons off Fisher?

I think Dongo is being a little optimistic with the 20k attendances. I was thinking more 4,000 or so once the novelty wears off with the few intrigued fans out there.

I didnt know they served that on the menu? Was it skinny or full fat? :whistle:
