    Wasps current finances & hope

    That seems to be the key. I think its debatable now much room for improvement there is in a lot of the other numbers. We're told business is fantastic and there are events practically every day. There will be a ceiling that will be reached and in my opinion they are pretty much at that. Given...

    Guess The Crowd v Notts County

    Leeds is the record, 28,184. Given we got 15K at the weekend with not a huge number of away fans if Notts bring 3 - 4K we must have a shot of beating that. Would be nice if the local media got behind it. That's when things snowball and suddenly everyone wants to go.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    The difference in my eyes is that Wasps owner has moved the club halfway across the country because he couldn't or wouldn't keep covering losses. He started taking money back out as quickly as he could when they got here. That doesn't give the impression of someone who will cover losses year...

    They thinks its all Over

    If they start flying in with tackles we need a couple of early yellows dished out.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    It would more than likely be a prop co op co arrangement the same as most other clubs who are said to own their grounds. Even Fisher has said that would be the arrangement if a new ground was built. Of course the council could easily put restrictions in place. They discussed that in the past...

    Things that annoy you

    Took the dog to the park this afternoon, when did the memorial become a car park? I don't mean the bits that are actually car parks obviously. There were cars parked the entire run of the park from Coat of Arms Bridge to where the park and ride is. Also you're not supposed to have BBQs there...

    The Coventry vs Morecambe Fixed Match

    I'm a paying customer and it didn't bother me in the slightest. Better option than messing it up and missing the play offs. Plus I managed to fit in an afternoon nap in the sun during the second half.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Obviously totally made up but lets say Linfield and SISU agreed a merger. The FL agree as having a team over there would be a good move from a business perspective. A ticket drive is done, similar to how they gauge interest in new franchises in the US and 15K commit to season tickets. You'd...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    You could have just said we get 7.5% of the profit on the money we generate. The other 92.5% goes elsewhere.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    A 250 year lease is the same as owning it to all intents and purposes. What state do you expect the stadium to be in by the end of the lease. How many PL or FL clubs are currently playing in 250 year old stadiums? Why would it be cheaper to build a new stadium. Look at the cost of building the...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    That was exactly the plan. AEG, the worlds most successful venue operators, were taking on the complex and from what I am led to believe paying a license fee plus % to the club. We would also have retained all revenues generated on match days. TBH I think AEG would have ended up as our owners...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    We owned HR and there's no reason that in the future we couldn't own our own stadium. Even the council were suggesting that, albeit they had already agreed to sell to Wasps when they were saying it. We also pay way over the top on matchday costs and don't get the money we generate. Yet again...

    They thinks its all Over

    Certainly don't think it will be easy but can't see why they would be so confident. Hopefully their players are overconfident as well.

    Geoff Foster

    Think its this as much as anything. How long now has it been the same presenters and format. Linnell was the presenter when I was a kid listening on Mercia Sound!

    We seem to have a lot of players missing games with illness this season.

    Season Ticket Holders v Notts County

    With our allocation and segregation they'll have less than 15K won't they. Are they likely to be easily available?

    Doyle extension signed

    Head of shouting at people when they make a mistake.
