Constantly giving away copious amounts of free tickets long term devalues the product not to mention is offensive to those who have parted with actual money to buy them. Not sure about the standard of harliquins but let's hope they play their best game of the season vs the pests.Think that's a liberal use of the word sold. They were stood in Broadgate the other day giving out tickets to anyone who wanted them!
nope, very little interest.Did there look like there was much uptake CD??
100% this, people were pointing this out when they first got here. You can't give away tickets like confetti and then suddenly expect people to pay for them. You've made your own product worthless.Constantly giving away copious amounts of free tickets long term devalues the product not to mention is offensive to those who have parted with actual money to buy them.
Bet the Council will lolDon't see anyway even our council can approve Wasps application having turned down one literally metres away on the basis it would take business away from the city centre.
Surely whoever put that application in would be straight on to their lawyers if that happened.
Also have Wasps actually paid to have this lease option and now a seemingly never ending extension. The councils excuse when it was initially issued was a need for hotels for City of Culture but today's article says any hotel won't be ready in time for that.
More state aid. Would something like that strengthen SISUs case?Bet the Council will lol
pusb

Yeah they've been getting ready to submit a planning application for the new training centres for a few yearsNot sure if this has been mentioned this side of things are not my strong point
Do you not see a pattern of behaviour from the council to benefit Wasps over anybody else? That should be a concern both in relation to CCFC and as local residents in general.Genuine question, why do we care ?. The club won’t benefit
Because any SISU is likely to bankrupt Wasps - excellent short term news that would open up a better chance for us to return to the Ricoh in some capacity.Genuine question, why do we care ?. The club won’t benefit
Most businesses resorting to that end up going bump, it's a sign of desperationWasps tickets now being sold on the discount site Groupon!!
I have noticed as well that so many people who are now trying to get tickets for it are either those "Business Networking" sorts who will go to take a selfie or people who just enter competitions for free shit.
According to the geniuses on the Wasps forum they are going to get the hotel operator to pay to build it and then once they've done that they will also pay rent to Wasps. Not sure there will be many hotel chains wanting to take them up on that fantastic deal.
Not a totally daft suggestion
Hotel operators can get long term funding to put up a building, it is then franchised out
If they cannot buy the site - the landowner can grant a long lease with an upfront premium and ongoing rentals. A budget hotel could raise £5k a year per room.
So why would the council block others apart from one that Wasps can basically make money from because they have planning permission and the lease for the land?
Besides, it was taking the next step a year and a half ago - 150-bed Ricoh Arena hotel plans to take major step forward
Totally cynical reply -- I expect CCC will benefit from the development uplift?
Building a Nandos at the Ricoh As well, we have just quoted for some parts of the job.
Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you're saying a hotel chain, lets use Travelodge as an example, build a hotel paying all the costs. Once that hotel is built Travelodge then pay Wasps to rent the hotel despite Wasps having not put a penny in.Not a totally daft suggestion

How does that work? They aren't paying rent for the site as the land belongs to the council.
What would the different be in this development compared to the hotel they have just refused planning for next to the Ricoh on the basis it would detract from the city centre. Not the first hotel application the council have rejected on that basis.Totally cynical reply -- I expect CCC will benefit from the development uplift?

But Wasps don't own the land. The land belongs to the council. What value do Wasps add to earn a cut of money that would otherwise be going to the taxpayer?The Hotel Chain will pay "WASPS" effectively a rent for the site - in the absence of buying the land.
No idea what the deal is between CCC and WASPS - but the former wont let this happen for nothing ...............................or will they ?

It would be debatable if it was a good deal for the taxpayer if they were leasing the land off the council and paying to build the hotel themselves before renting that out. This appears as if they're doing literally nothing other than put their name on a planning application so it gets approved where others have been turned down which of course raises other concerns.
