Talking compromise....I think the idea of wasp seat alternating with a sky blue seat would work without causing to much of an uproar...
I wouldn't object to a compromise to be honest but at the moment it seems Wasps, for all their talk of being understanding landlords, don't give a toss about us. It would not have been difficult to have the Wasps and CCFC logos be equal in size, to have CCFC alongside Wasps at the atrium entrance, a mix of both clubs in the tunnel etc. Even the seats there could probably be a compromise on if and when they are replaced.
The fact is Wasps have shown total disregard for CCFC and our fans. The interview in the CT shows that 'just ask and Wasps will say yes' theory holds no water. If this is what it's like after a few months what will it be like in a couple of years?

Why would Wasps be bothered about another sporting club who are only here for a few years, am sure if SISU made a long term commitment to the Stadium then maybe they would agree to making the place look like it was home to both teams?
At present its two years, from what I can see Mr Fisher/ Mr Waggot are still not in discussions to extend this rental agreement.

I think it is that people seem to think we just need to ask Wasps nicely and they will help. Or we just need to commit long term and they will let us make the stadium look like it is our home. Wasps don't have to do anything, it is theirs which is why we need to get out to somewhere that is ours.
The new stadium concept is a none starter.
There's two ways of looking at this:
1) Wasps genuinely believe we are moving out, it is in their interest to be as gracious and accommodating as possible in the hope that we will then decide to stay resulting in more revenue for Wasps.
2) Wasps do not believe we are moving out, therefore they should be true to their word and having been in a similar position to us be as gracious and accommodating as possible.
But Dave, either option has to be discussed, are our owners talking to Wasps?

According to Wasps they are, and so far it seems everything the club has asked Wasps for has either bee refused or overpriced.
It is while we refuse to try and push for one in the city...
Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen would not be happy!
Why do we need another stadium in the City?

Why are people Ricoh or nothing? What is it about the Ricoh?
Not so sure any discussions are taking place are about anything long term, if the club committed to say next 20 years then the Wasps would have to make dicisions.
F**k me, do they ever accomplish anything themselves.
One that would be the club's, one where the memorial garden isn't overlooked by WE ARE WASPS signs as an example.

Why on earth wouldn't you want more leisure facilities in the city. Why on earth isn't this a good thing to have more amenities?
Are all our leisure facilities used to full potential in the City?
If SISU built us a new stadium they would be competing against the Ricoh, also it's another major debt for the club and by time it's built we will have an even smaller fan base.
They wouldn't be competing against the Ricoh.
One would be a rugby stadium, one a football stadium.
Anyway, if the club did the football stadium better, thrived, reached its full potential and that thus saw Wasps move on elsewhere (again) that would be the enactment of the commercial survival of the fittest.
So be it.

Why not get SISU to build a big hotel near the Ricoh, put it in CCFC name, it will cost a lot less, be 365 day revenue, not compete but will get lots of business from the Arena.
Where does it end? Should CCFC start a car dealership as suggested or a Payday Loans business rather than actually trying to do it normally?

And we can flog off the training reund
Remember when SISU took a mortgage out on the training ground? People went mental. Wasps take out a huge loan against the Ricoh and its fantastic business.
