The move to Coventry will have created jobs overall. That is a good thing.
So you were happy if jobs were lost when Wasps left Wycombe, but would be upset if jobs were lost if Wasps left Coventry?

But they would be created if they moved back to London, just in London.
Are you telling me as fact that CCFC couldn't have rented out the arena on matchdays? It is usually empty on matchdays anyway as there is no parking available for any other events to take place. They could have easily done a deal with ACL.
Your attitude to it is exactly the point I am making. "Why waste money on that" attitude. Its about making the fans have the best day possible. That way you increase the likelihood of them returning.
As for showing off the Ricoh, it usually looks a right mess when there is a football game on. Yesterday everything looked in its place.
But they are getting 4x the amount of customers here than in London. Its obvious that more customers will need more staff.
I am hoping that. I couldnt give a shit if it was ethical, I just disagree with what they have done. I also support Saints who dont need some franchise team eating into their patch.
Oh and stating Vigornians posts as fact, when indeed there is no evidence that what they wrote is fact apart from the fact that they actually wrote it, means using that logic that what everyone writes on here is actaully fact.
Apparently you promised a 25,000 plus attendance for the Leinster game. Innacuracy I believe, so I believe you wont be posting here again, or is that another inaccuracy
Is the company at Companies House owned by a hedge fund ( or possibly companies owned by a hedge fund )? Our CCFC is owned by a company ultimately controlled by a hedge fund or hedge fund sponsor. We would like to know if Wasps are in the same ownership set up as us. Thanks in advance for the information.
There is no hedge fund involved at Wasps. Derek Richardson is the owner.
So you were happy if jobs were lost when Wasps left Wycombe, but would be upset if jobs were lost if Wasps left Coventry?
There was fact about the Story of Wasps ownership. Or is it just not fact because you don't like it?
You must have missed your English lessons at School - "The win tonight for Wasps will probably mean a 25000 plus crowd for the winner takes all game against Leinster. No free tickets given for this game. Revenue will be huge."
I am looking but I can't see a promise there?
Were any jobs in the local pubs and shops lost when we moved to Northampton?
Rons notion that new jobs have been created in the local community due to 4 80 minute games should be given zero credence
So your saying now then that CCFC doesn't bring anything to the local economy?

Love to watch the usual people squirming at Wasps initial success :claping hands:
Just will not let it go.
Any comments on Wasps qualifying this afternoon for the European Cup quarter finals?

Why, we're not Wasps fans? if you want to discuss that you will be better off on the Wasps forum.
I hope you arent referring to me as one of those squirming, as frankly I havent commented on it, nor could I really give a damn.
What I would comment is, Saints have qualified and didnt need the results of others to get through, as Wasps did. I do believe Saints still sit on top of the Aviva Premiership as well.
Didnt realise you were Wasps Super Fan Boy.
Believe it or not, I do both.
Not a Wasps season ticket holder but certainly a long term CCFC season ticket holder.
Certainly enjoying 'finding' Rugby and a mile from my house.
Loving the Ricoh 'asset' on my doorstep fulfilling its potential.
Fair enough.
I found Rugby quite a while ago. Alway been the occasional Cov Rugby Fan, but also ventured to Saints as was born in Northampton for my sins. Followed them through success and later failure, through Relegation, and now proud to see them win the Premiership last season, and currently through to quarters of the European Cup, and sitting top of the league.
Re the Ricoh, I hate the place. Its a souless hole, worthy of a souless Rugby team and currently a souless football club. I never liked the place and never will, whether we owned it, or Wasps or anyone else. Would love both the stadium and Wasps to fail, for my own reasons which are not football related.
No I didn't miss my English, but you must have. You asked where you had been incorrect. You predicted something that was incorrect, I point it out, you change your stance as you were proved incorrect.
If it helps the definition of incorrect is, "not in accordance with fact; wrong" so your assertion that the crowd would probably be over 25,000 was wrong. If it helps you, that means it was incorrect.
Amazingly the dictionary definition didn't have any discussions on promises, just plain and simple facts on what incorrect was, which you were.
It wasn't a fact was it? I think you will find it didn't mention either the one share holding company that owns 98% of the shares if wasps holding or the company that owns that. What fact was it then about ownership - was there a link to any evidence - or did you just want to believe what he said?
What's the dictionary definition of 'probably'? 23500 circa was not far off and a damn sight better than out attendances.
