Seems to be people who get free tickets and want to take selfies of themselves and post them. Just go for the day out.
Yeah, was just going to post exactly that. The only local fans who stick by them appear to be middle aged women who aren't bothered about the outcome.
The Ricoh has been around for a few years now - if it was going to be seen as the go to place for non-sporting occasions, it would have stamped it's mark by now surely? If it's just breaking even now, where is the evidence of hope that it will see it a better future attraction over say the NEC to host an event? Unfortunately for the City itself, it doesn't seem to have become the cash cow it was supposed to be.They lost £3m a year at Wycombe. Last year at the Ricoh they had underlying loss of £12m.
But it's OK as you "hope" eventually the "non rugby stuff" will sort it all out and they establish a foothold in the city.
What was the debt level like at High Wycombe?
There is a risk that if transient fans are aware of a lot of MILF going to WASPs it may increase crowds
Nice to see someone in a position of authority actually sticking up for the sporting institution he represents.......This guy who is part running the Henley Trust thing has done more in a couple of weeks, and got more on board that the SBTrust have done since Wasps arrived.....
That's fine when it's all fanzones and fireworks that they're going out for but now they're cutting all that away how many people are going to be chasing the likes in a freezing cold empty stadium while some fat lads hug in the mud.Seems to be people who get free tickets and want to take selfies of themselves and post them.

What a suck up that Bobby Bridge is
Noticed that the article went on late one night and had gone from the front page the next day.Interesting how the article he did (that seems to miss some vital information) is now buried....
What's he done?What a suck up that Bobby Bridge is
He’s frantically backtracking about the Henley petition and saying it’s not anything to do with wasps - they are 100% not to blameNoticed that the article went on late one night and had gone from the front page the next day.

Well who is it then? SISU I supposeHe’s frantically backtracking about the Henley petition and saying it’s not anything to do with wasps - they are 100% not to blame
Article out today on Cov Observer. Re-hash of last weeks one I think.Rather cryptic tweet from the Henley sports centre saying today is going to be brilliant....
Yeah nothing else said. Disappointing.Article out today on Cov Observer. Re-hash of last weeks one I think.
Hope they/he are on about something a little more juicy than that!! (Re-hashed article)
Apologies if posted before
I wonder on what basis this is being treated as a Freedom of Information request?Looks like Wasps are going to need their lawyers again.

Just putting this out there!
In a meeting with Roger Bevan(WCG) and Steven Vaughan(Wasps) on 18/11/19, Mr Bevan when questioned on a possible conflict of interest in the proposed sale through Nick Eastwood(WCG Governor and Wasps Vice Chairman) responded by saying it was absolute nonsense! He went on to say that, Nick Eastwood had not been involved and indeed had declared his conflict of interest immediately and stepped away from the transaction.
In the very same meeting, Mr Bevan himself stated that the initial talks between WCG and Wasps had started at the end of June this year, and Wasps 1st visit to the site was on 2/7/19.
With this information in mind, please read the set of minutes from a WCG Board meeting held on 11/7/19. Please pay particular attention to those present, and more importantly, those declaring an interest, or not!

Exactly. Probably would be best to get a solicitor to send the letter.On the basis that they didn't want to answer the questions.
I think if it were me I'd be glad it wasn't becoming housing, especially if I ran a local business.
Most bizarre take from one of their new aged wanker fans:
The last thing a business wants is a population nearby
Have you players you can sell for nearly 50 million in the next couple of years?absolutely but they obviously believe they can turn it around, the one off payment will keep them going for a bit just like your player sales keep you afloat.
More chance of them becoming Henley Wasps the way things are going.Hi P&C, fascinating reading, one question from me. Do you think it's realistic that the Wasps end up playing at Alexander Stadium once the commonwealth games are done?
