My objections aren't as such against Wasps fans etc. It's the notion that so many official bodies have gone out of their way to help them when we didn't get the same levels of support - basically because of who our owners were. People were so intent in forcing SISU out taking into account what...

Sure there's an answer to attendances - start handing out 000s of free tickets again

Seems optimistic Wasps and Rugby fans in general are missing some of the overall picture. Reduction in salary caps and only one marquee player may help lower costs but going to weaken appeal of the sport as fewer (if any) big foreign stars will join - can earn much more in France and Japan...

How about Richardson writes off his loans that would make bond refinancing easier;) We were always fed stories about how much money certain ccfc directors wrote off to try and help their club

Can't see the bond refinancing going to allow stadium to be used as security for another loan

Just can't see this being labelled as a straight bail-out. Going to be some new project that is overvalued. Building social housing on one of the car parks ;)

Is it within the remit of WMCA to bail out businesses? Thought it was about developing new ones etc. Suppose immediate area of interest could be housing & planning projects !!

Started already with dustmen ringing the bell to say Good morning and Hajrá!! Fking comedians,😂 going to be a long,long day!!

A kurva isten bassza meg!!

FFS won't be able to leave the house again tomorrow 😂😂

Incredible innings by Bairstow. 2 500 run 1st innings scores should scream dull draw.

Makes sense to me. It's a different variation of what a large part of the stadium argument has been about - importance of non-matchday revenue streams. Even more important now we're in the "Championship salary competition/bloodbath".

so what do you think are the consistent gates Wasps can achieve if they manage these consistent results etc whilst operating within the confines of a salary cap and (for now) lower gates than most of the other clubs?

Dislike amongst some City fans one issue but the antipathy amongst the larger Coventry public to Wasps or Rugby in general isn't going to turn around Wasps finances either. is there such a thing as a rugby marquee signing that can put 000s on the gate like certain footballers can? Can't argue...

Early inroads (hold your catches!!) and they'll have to bat out a draw. Stokes knock going to have frightened them a bit plus his history against them. Still a fairly friendly batting surface. Plus a bowler short.

In an era when it has gone professional, is nearly completely reliant on TV income and there are salaries to pay then the number of people interested is crucial surely?

Still think most of it comes down to most interested parties over-estimate the broad appeal / potential of Rugby. Half the geographical country represented by just 2 clubs who can't attract more than 15k between them to watch home games. Value of the last TV contract dropped and now CVC get 27%...

No idea what to make of this match. One interesting stat every batsman that has gone past 50 runs was dropped before they got to 50.

Not sure he's even going to take the field this season now. This issue just gets bigger and bigger.

It's like Keynes said you owe the bank a hundred pounds you have a problem. Owe them a million and they have the problem.
