Amongst all the bollox (by all sides) one question remains unanswered-
From a financial point of view do Wasps RUFC need CCFC to play at the Ricoh?
What if CCFC played elsewhere-would that put a strain on Wasps finances?

Unsure. Depends on whether they can get stadium sponsorship at a high enough level.
I always believe that we’re a bigger value than a rugby team on the basis were a football team and also a founding premier league team
I have a feeling we’re about to find out though
It would effect them yes. Might be a killer blow but they would be far better off with a regular tenentAmongst all the bollox (by all sides) one question remains unanswered-

Might give space and time for them to buy Widnes and branch into Rugby League...
Generating revenue and interest to get their sponsorship out there I would assume. As for the OP, no they don’t however the consequences for not having us there will be dire if we fail to exist although most are putting this responsibility solely at SISU s doorWhat do you mean bigger value?

Depends how this plays out.
Removal of a competitor = good from their POV.
Potential reputational damage = bad from their POV.
How sponsorship of the stadium would play out without CCFC would probably be bad, too.

Ultimately they need to embed themselves culturally, and be seen as a Coventry team in order to get fans to turn up regularly and buy into Wasps as a local entity to be supported.Presumably most of the repetitional damage would be with football fans who generally don’t attend the rugby anyway. I think it would have a minimal effect.

Probably doesn't help sponsorship negotiations when the terms of the stadium sale are currently up for debate in court...I swear the Ricoh naming rights ran out about 45 years ago, didn’t they say a while ago they were in talks with someone or did I dream it?

Being seen as the body that removed the city's football club could do serious damage to that.
Yep if it’s seen as hostile then they will never be embedded in the city and probably the reverse.Ultimately they need to embed themselves culturally, and be seen as a Coventry team in order to get fans to turn up regularly and buy into Wasps as a local entity to be supported.

It's not just Rugby fans they need. The hardcore Rugby fans, after all, will be going to CRFC anyway.Most rugby fans I meet actively dislike football. They’d probably see it as a plus that “gay ball” had been removed from the city. I’m just not convinced it’s a big issue.

No, it's a natural instinct. It's worse when you see/smell one at a CCFC match. I needed a week off work with that one.Help & advice required.. Am I alone in this? - every time I see anyone in a Wasps shirt I feel physically sick.
Should I go to the doctor?
True. On the flip side a sponsor gets far more exposure with two sports teams getting coverage i.e visual when its on tv and even everytime its name is mentioned i.e on sky sports - lets get a report at the "ricoh" where the sky blues are playing blah blah" This would attract a better sponsorship deal. Every time its name is mentioned it improves its familiarity as a brand name.Probably doesn't help sponsorship negotiations when the terms of the stadium sale are currently up for debate in court...
On that basis, Ricoh are probably loving this dispute. They are getting a lot of mentions out of it.True.

It would never happen, but if all 40,000 of us who went to Wembley could get together and say to Wasps “We’ll pay for the next 10 years of Arena sponsorship for a total of £12 million, on the condition that CCFC will play here for 10 years”, it would only work out to be £30 per person per year...and be a better deal than the reported figure of £10 million Ricoh paid for 10 years of sponsorship. Like I said though, it would never happen...just wishful thinking on my part. Sorry
