    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    Could very well be, as I say far from an expert! That said I would expect something similar to be in place for other types of assets. I did read about a provision for a private sale which might indicate something like the Ricoh would be covered. It basically said it was only allowed when selling...

    I don't understand what they think it will achieve. I can understand if its a seasoned pro on top wages not putting any effort in but this is a 20 year old. Even if you don't cheer his every move don't give him constant grief.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    The problem is the people who have actually done wrong won't get punished. Look at the whole "washing its face" think, Lucas pushed that off onto Reeves and West (not by name but they were they councils people on ACL so would suspect it is them). Both very highly paid employees of CCC. What...

    To be fair unless they tell you how many are in the queue that could only be a handful of people the way the ticket office works!

    And to answer your question Lego! I saw someone mention they did it to de-stress on a documentary and I thought I'd give it a go. It works! If I could do that all day I wouldn't be stressed at all!

    Have you watched Detectorists on BBC4? Brilliant show, god knows why they've burried it at 10pm on a Thursday on BBC4.

    Family Stand

    If you take your kids to games you know there's a good chance they will hear something colourfull but that doesn't mean you should happily accept it going on in the area designated for kids.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    Done a bit of reading on this and it seems pretty clear from what I have read that the council should have conducted a proper sales process. Basically it has to be made available to everyone and advertised for sale. The relevant things seems to be section 123 of the 1972 Local Government Act...

    Probably wise, we've got our post Xmas slump to look forward to.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    I think SISU should get a bloody move on! Draw up a proper business plan for each option (I guess groundshare at Ricoh, new ground in Cov, new ground just outside Cov). Plans that stand up to scrutiny not figures plucked out of the sky like the 8K who were going to turn up at Sixfields each...

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    I agree but if a new stadium is the best way forward then no matter how long it is going to take, or even if it is judged to be the best way forward but something we can't afford to do now, then at least get the plan in place. Let us know what the best option is and how we are going ot achieve...

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    I'm not so sure about this. If we start going up and down there is a danger that every relegation sees a higher number walk away and every promotion a smaller number returning. How long before our crowds dwindle and with us being so dependent on ticket revenue how long before we're struggling to...

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    Rock and a hard place is right. All anyone is saying really, look at all the opitions and decide the best way forward rather than blindly declaring staying at the Ricoh or a new ground is the way forward.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    I don't think anyone is saying just sit here and hope Wasps fail are they? More that if staying at the Ricoh is shown to be our best current option then to have any degree of success in the future requires that somewhere down the line we take ownership of the Ricoh from Wasps. The most likley...

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    So in this plan we tread water and get promoted (that's not treading water is it?). Then what? If we haven't even considered the options until then we have a long process to go through during which time there's every chance we will get relegated. Is there any more options than we currently...

    Presumably they don't buy tickets for the family zone so the easy option would be to have a couple of stewards checking tickets as people enter that block.

    Northampton Cut Price Tickets

    That seems a bit of a waste of money. The Fortress system doesn't do anything the existing system isn't already capable of.

    Who watches American Football in the UK?

    It will still be NFL as it will be an existing team moving to London, by the looks of things Jacksonville. Be interesting to see what happens if that is a success. Will they expand the league to add more European teams, they can't really add a third conferernce without huge changes. They tried...

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    Stockport rented off Sale, during that period they dropped out of the league. Sale moved to a new ground but retained ownership. I think about 3 years ago they agreed to lease rather than rent to Stockport so they do now have control of the ground.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    You can still overspend no matter how much you have coming in and clubs continually do. That's a different issue, although also a problem for us if we wish to compete with those teams happy to risk millions. The only team I can think of in a similar arrangement to us is Stockport and that has...
