Well is it 1.4%? When we attract more fans than they do. I haven't got a clue if I'm honest but I will go with it. I'm guessing that's if our rent stays at 100k per season which I doubt it will be. Sure more rent means we are more useful to them in their eyes.

Yeah I think ask most fans where realistically we will be playing in 2 years time and most will say the Ricoh. I mean don't get me wrong I don't like the fact wasps own the stadium and have even put the negotiations on hold but my point is seriously what other options do we have. Torch...

Exactly. In 2 years time so realistically it would have to be planned and decided way before 2 years so this time next year something will need to be sorted. Is that really enough time to get a new ground share or erect stands at the butts? Erected stands will look like the Solihull moors. So...

Yes we are there now and the Ricoh is already built and in Cov. It's obvious we need to stay there even if it's on another 4 year deal say whilst we build or whatever. Didn't I read last week we were talking a 20-25 year deal with wasps before negotiations halted by wasps? If true then what's...

But your other option of either develop the butts or a new stadium aren't options in my eyes. Both require money and time and co operation and lots of it. And we have none of this. So please explain and convince me butts or a new stadium is a realistic option?

Also says ccc do agree and say yes then who pays for it? How long would it take? I know a long shot but what if wasps go bust in 6 years time and the Ricoh becomes available? Like you say 25k seater stadium would never fit so perhaps 15k max? Traffic and planning? So whilst it's great in...

Also ccc hold the freehold again so anything has to go through them. They have already blocked it to an extent so I would of thought this is the biggest hurdle not parking.

Oh I know. One conversation I had recently starting with me: "Did you watch the football at the weekend?" "No I go to the rugby" "Oh that sport when you hold a funny shaped ball and run at someone, you know that really skillful game" "Well at least we don't dive around and pretend we are...

Is that frank? That my drinking name btw

I failed mine so I will block cycling proficiency on Twitter I think. ;)

I don't want or need to push the Ricoh for my agenda. I am just simply a realist. I agree a new stadium would be the answer but it's just not viable in my eyes. I look at it like this. A new stadium won't have 32k seats, agree? A new stadium needs a shit load of money. Agree? A new stadium...

I think quite the opposite. I think wasps want us at the Ricoh. I don't understand why you wouldn't want a paying renter and bringing in 300k fans a season which is 100k more than wasps. As for options it seems people on here hate wasps and the council so much it's anything but the Ricoh at...

This post whilst very informative and correct gets two likes about moving to Northampton. I get the facts in this well put post and wasps could very well and hopefully struggle but to advocate us to move to Northampton again after almost killing us off the time before Is bizarre and frightening.

If Northampton was a success then we could well of stopped there where sisu took us remember

Again back to the OP this article is a nonsense. Butts was never going to happen from day 1. Forget talking it won't happen anyway. Never was. Just got people clicking and talking. Sisu have given up on the club and now no one wants to deal with them. I will say it again the only option is to...

Have I just read that we should move back to Northampton again? Really?

Just look at this budget this morning put forward by osbourne. Honestly, does he even think he would be chancellor after brexit? Cameron thinks he would still stay on a PM which is a touch naive to say the least

4-6 remain, massively on the drift 11-8 leave. Backed in from 5-1 3-4 weeks ago. I make it 50-50. This is a coin flip as it stands

Of course. No one knows. But 4-9 is not a shoe in by any means. Cov have been 2-1 for many games last season and won and leave are half a point shorter than that so it's really 50-50 in my eyes

With respect, You just said 4-9 was a shoe in. As a betting man 4-9 is nothing but a shoe in a two horse race. It's just the bookies slightly favor remain but has come down from 1-7 in the last few weeks. Momentum and passion is on the leave side. Money is coming for leave. There is a shift...
