Why do you even ask the question? I've worked on tours that involved hiring the Ricoh, I've posted that information and now you're in denial!

Saracens had 84,068 for their home game against Harlequins recently. Yet according to Wasps they have set a record for highest attendance.

Not sure it was officially announced but most press reports give it as £58m

Would be the same with the exception of something like a beer festival or food festival where obviously you need to be able to server other things. That would be taken into consideration in the hire cost and a compensation payment made to Compass.

They still need to sort out what's happening about the FFP fine they didn't pay before they're allowed in the Championship don't they?

I blame Oggy ;)

If there is genuine interest we should try and do a deal where we get him loaned back for a couple of seasons. There's no way he's walking straight into first team contention at a higher level so he'll be loaned out somewhere.

Remember when SISU took a mortgage out on the training ground? People went mental. Wasps take out a huge loan against the Ricoh and its fantastic business.

From what I've been told, by someone connected to ACL not someone connected to SISU, is that we asked for somewhere to use for storage so we could increase the merchandising and branding on match day and the response was that the Ricoh has no storage areas, something I find very hard to believe...

According to Wasps they are, and so far it seems everything the club has asked Wasps for has either bee refused or overpriced.

I don't buy that argument really. If you visit somewhere and there is a statue if you didn't know who it was wouldn't your default behaviour be to treat it with respect?

There's two ways of looking at this: 1) Wasps genuinely believe we are moving out, it is in their interest to be as gracious and accommodating as possible in the hope that we will then decide to stay resulting in more revenue for Wasps. 2) Wasps do not believe we are moving out, therefore they...

I wouldn't object to a compromise to be honest but at the moment it seems Wasps, for all their talk of being understanding landlords, don't give a toss about us. It would not have been difficult to have the Wasps and CCFC logos be equal in size, to have CCFC alongside Wasps at the atrium...

Most countries that use PR have a minimum % threshold to block out the really extreme parties with very small support. The UKIP argument seems to be the new stick to beat down PR with but whatever you think of them is it fair that they have 13% of the vote and 1 seat? PR as a system would seem...

Conservatives had 37% of the vote, 51% of the seats Labour had 30% of the vote, 36% of the seats SNP had 5% of the vote, 9% of the seats Lib Dem had 8% of the vote, 1% of the seats UKIP had 13% of the vote, 0% of the seats Green had 4% of the vote, 0% of the seats UKIP and Green both won 1 seat...

It's around 24% of registered voters.

There has for a long team been a growing movement seeking electoral reform. I think the thing that has brought it into the spotlight in this particular election is the SNP and UKIP / Green vote. It gives an easily understandable example of the problem with FPTP.

Great stuff, isn't that Deano's youtube channel?

This protest was, or at least started out, as a protest for electoral reform on the basis that less than 25% of the population voted for those who are now in power. As with many things a handful of idiots have taken the focus off the main message.
