He's pretty much their pr department.Even tries to dismiss criticism of free tickets as they still have to travel to the ground. What a load of shit, its a crying shame what passes for journalism in the Telegraph these days.
No mention that Wasps promised not to play the same day as CRFC when they arrived. Didn't realise Cov were at home yesterday as well. Imagine how many more they might have got in their attendance if Wasps weren't literally giving out free tickets by the handful.
It would be interesting to compare the gate receipts between cov rugby and the London wasps yesterday, can’t imagine them being that far off due to the amount of freebies the London wasps give out even though there was apparently 23/24k more at the Ricoh.
Didn't realise it was that bad. And you then have to take into consideration that they seem to be giving out free tickets at an unprecedented rate. Giving each season ticket holder 20 free for every game is ridiculous.Average for all games including the firework display stands at 11,400 which is down about 5,000 on last season.

"The richest club in the world" was another of his gems wasn't it? :emoji_laughing:
This bridge fellow appears a young impressionable fellow that will get brainwashed within minutes by anything. He’s been drawn into wasps as they have been ‘nice’ to him in return for favours and gifts. I mean, what self respecting journalists would take kits off the club your reporting on and not be neutral on the reports and stance eh?Even tries to dismiss criticism of free tickets as they still have to travel to the ground.

I wonder if their stance towards us has put anybody off attending. I know when it was announced we were playing in Brum a few people on twitter who support both said they wouldn’t be going until we’re back.
Doubt it just more likely that doing crap on the pitch and losing the big name players has weakened the ‘top class rugby’ argument. That and the closing down of non sporting features at the stadium
Yeah I think the people who went locally just went for a day out and now are bored
I suspect that the percentage of original fans is now higher as they are sticking with it but a lot of them on social media seem to be getting fed up as well
They have failed to attract a strong locks fan base its looking grim

Fair play to their original fans for sticking with it but they’ve were and have been totally discarded from the franchise, I hope for their sake they get their club back in its rightful home.
Yup it’s all about trying to forge a fake West Midland ‘identity’
Which again although it’s a well worn track the Trust should be on it. It’s obvious the problems are getting worse.
This free ticket policy now is like a fire sale
The CT article even by its own standards is a shocker. Eastwood may as well have written it himself
Novelty is wearing off, my cousin plays in an u10s team in the city, they have gone as a group with parents the last 2-3 years with their freebies.Doubt it just more likely that doing crap on the pitch and losing the big name players has weakened the ‘top class rugby’ argument.

Just needs a quick press release saying they are very concerned about the number of free tickets being given out by Wasps, reference them being offered 10 at a time on social media for last weekend and all season ticket holders getting 20 for every remaining game, and the potential negative impact on CCFC and other clubs in the city who don't have the resources to match that.
Throw in a mention that they've again broken their promise to not play the same day as CRFC and job done.
You could knock it up in 10 minutes and have it emailed out to everyone.
If they haven't complained yet I don't think they're going to. Our season ticket holders used to kick off when we'd have a game with tickets reduced let alone free tickets by the handful!Record it and get it shared on social media, would cause a bit of a storm with paying customers I'd imagine

I would guess they've looked at the numbers and realised its all either season ticket holders or freebies so they've decided to give out more to try and up the numbers but have gone way over the top.Why would you buy one when you can go to every game for free?
If you had 20 mates you’d blatantly buy one between yourselves and cream off the free ticketsI would guess they've looked at the numbers and realised its all either season ticket holders or freebies so they've decided to give out more to try and up the numbers but have gone way over the top.
The question now is how many season ticket holders will decide not to bother when free tickets are being throw around like confetti.
Do you think that Eastwood could be Fisher in disguise ??
Both have very similar traits.

I asked if they were going this year "We have free tickets, nobody from the club can be arsed to go though"
They have gone on a full freebie offensive in schools too. Most of the kids dismiss it as ‘just some shit rugby’
Yeah, we often get emails from the school. None of the kids give a shit about it any more and they are trying far too hard to push them.
Even a bloke I know who went doesn't bother now even though he can still get freebies. Has no idea about their results.
How do they manage to play netball on a pitch like that???Bizarrely the netball is actually more popular at least in the school I work in.
