I think that was the jist of the article to be fair. And a serious point, we are doing well at the moment and that takes the heat off a bit but it’s correct to say at the Ricoh we could be building up support currently we are over 50% down imo.

Back to the same discussion we has before. You felt that if Saturday’s game had been held at the Ricoh we would have got 10k. I think we would have got at least 14k. Last season’s gate is really irrelevant.11006 crowd last year for Doncaster
Something is up as Eakin also mentioned stuff on Saturday and dropped in that he has heard that Birmingham aren’t keen on another season after this one, didn’t give a source so it’s a good chance it was that dick head at Wasps Eastwood or somebody trying to shit stir
The fact that they've lasted this long is down to people hating SISU and some very good PR helped by the telegraph and the sky blue trust. It's a credit to them. They had a lot of people fooled for a very long time.No is my opinion they won’t be here in 5 years. There debt is unmanageable and will eventually catch them up as there owner can’t continue to fund them unless some other fool comes along. I think they will struggle to stay in there league next season and with gates falling year in year it’ll come to a head within 12-24 months.
History is relevant though.Back to the same discussion we has before. You felt that if Saturday’s game had been held at the Ricoh we would have got 10k. I think we would have got at least 14k. Last season’s gate is really irrelevant.
Unfortunately I can't see Wasps going bust anytime soon. They have just been given 20+ million for the sale of the Premiership rights. They have a lot of debt but so do we and I don't see us going bust anytime soon.
Their league season hasn't started yet so can't really make a judgment on attendances but would guess they will be similar or slightly higher than ours at St Andrews.
The one positive is we are running at close to break even point which they are nowhere near. This however could change with us being at St Andrews and we probably need a Wembley visit or a good cup run to achieve that.
The club's look to be in a very similar position. Long term both probably need each other as it stands and we need the EU decision before we can move forward so at least we know where we are. At the minute we are treading water off the pitch while looking good on it.
The 20+ million is more like £17m.Unfortunately I can't see Wasps going bust anytime soon. They have just been given 20+ million for the sale of the Premiership rights. They have a lot of debt but so do we and I don't see us going bust anytime soon.

The point was made that: we had 10k for the Doncaster game at the Ricoh last season (we actually had 11k) so why would there have been more at the Ricoh this season? I was saying that just because we got that attendance last season, it doesn’t mean we would have got the same thiis, attendances are affected by a number of factors.History is relevant though.
In our best season since leaving the championship, the free scoring Mowbray 2015/16 season, our average attendance was 12,500. Why would this season be more? If scoring goals for fun AND lowering ST prices that season didnt work then??????

The 20+ million is more like £17m.
That's 50% of their future league income however. So they will receive 50% less league money every season.
The season hasn't started, but on the Premier Cup that had 6k fans last week was 30% down on the same fixture last season.
With no European rugby and players leaving for Europe/more wages, they'll struggle on the pitch this season as well as off.
More people are aware of their underhandedness, they've had an easy run this far as The Trust/The Telegraph have done a good job of spreading their fake propaganda. Now people see the bigger picture, will they be as willing to turn up to w**ps games? Time will tell, especially if it's a bad season on the pitch.

Great post.We'd bring in more than last season playing this football at the Ricoh.
We wouldn't be able to play this football on the pitch at the Ricoh.
Therefore our results would be similar to last year.
Meaning our attendances wouldn't have moved.
Any move back needs to have guarantees about the state of the surface.

But that’s simply not true and demonstrates a plain bone idle journalist who can’t be arsed to get the correct facts.Yeah but Andy has said that the pitch is amazing and we could have done the same there even though there wasn't an actual pitch laid for some of our games....
They are still in Europe but the UEFA cup equivalent rather than Champions league. They have lost a couple of players most notable is Elliot Daly to Sarries. He was probably among their highest earners and they only get him for 1\2 a season due to him playing for England. It's true they will lose income from the league but when the TV rights come up for renewal the new owners are masters at getting the best deal and also have big links to Sky. All the premiership clubs will benefit from the TV deal. As you say time will tell but I don't see them going pop in the next few years however much we want it.
They may have missed the boat on the TV deals, football is starting to decline so it doesn't seem realistic that rugby will grow. There won't even be much of a bounce in interest from the world cup imo due to the match timings.Sorry, what on earth are you basing the assertion that CVC are “masters at getting the best deal” on. They bled F1 dry. Absolutely nothing to suggest they’re even competent at what they’re proposing to do. Besides, Premiership Rugby has a deal with BT at the moment; do you honestly think Sky are going to come rampaging in and take the rights on for a huge fee?
I saw the other week that CVC are also looking to buy into the rights of the Six Nations. That saddens me greatly as the likelihood is they’ll look to move that to satellite TV as well.
What world cup?They may have missed the boat on the TV deals, football is starting to decline so it doesn't seem realistic that rugby will grow. There won't even be much of a bounce in interest from the world cup imo due to the match timings.
Isn't the Six Nations on the protected list?

Did you read the article?
Where has he said it is a million pound?
He actually rubbished it as for the cost of rental etc just ask Boddy he will tell you.
Dont you think they would have laid the pitch earlier if we had been there?Yeah but Andy has said that the pitch is amazing and we could have done the same there even though there wasn't an actual pitch laid for some of our games....
Didn’t they have monster truck cutting it up weeks before the football season startedDont you think they would have laid the pitch earlier if we had been there?
They had no reason to do it earlier as it wasnt being used.
If you're doing Google ads with silly headlines, I'd suggest you're doing it wrong. Click-through-rates are largely determined by relevant headline, keyword, landing page experience. Anyone telling you otherwise is a blag-artist.
What with the monster trucks on it?Dont you think they would have laid the pitch earlier if we had been there?
They had no reason to do it earlier as it wasnt being used.
How does the landing page experience impact the CTR if it’s a user’s first interaction with a brand?
Don’t forget Ad extensions
Because landing page experience affects Quality Score and in turn average position (which got a new silly name as of 1st October) and therefore increases CTR
