    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...

    Family Stand

    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...

    Northampton Cut Price Tickets

    Given how crap the system is they probably have to go through and manually release each seat or something stupid. Might be worth a tweet / call to see when they will be released.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    Blimey Tony you've just made the same arguement as Tim Fisher! The stadium itself should be able to run at a profit, in fact it should be easier than it is for pretty much every other club due to the extra facilites. So what you're saying seems similar to Fisher, that ACL being loaded with debt...

    To those who are staying away

    Not everyone can attend every game, doesn't mean they aren't a fan. I think what we're referring to here are the ones who are staying away out of choice and the ones who only turn up when we get a 'big' game. Rather than having a go at them we need to find a way to get them to start turning up...

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    There was an interview with a chap on CWR who confirmed it. There was also an article in the CT which was presented as stadium ownership not being needed but when you looked at the actual quotes for the expert it only applied to L1 and would become an issue at a higher level.

    Wasps Value Ricoh Arena at £48.5 million

    Not sure that's right. Hopefully we will get promoted this year. We have been told, by independent football finance experts, that lack of stadium ownership means we can't compete above L1 level. I can't imagine people turning up week in week out when we're in a relegation battle just sitting...

    A win on Tuesday and we're right up there. That would put us on 31 with Gillingham with Burton and Walsall on 32.

    That's more like it! Fair play to TM, he saw there was a problem and changed things. We've had plenty of managers in the past who would have waiting until the 80th min to make a change.

    Doesn't sound like we can come back from 2 down the way we're playing at the moment. Do we need early substitutions and / or a change of tactics?
