Wasps talks positive but ........... all about revenue streams on none match days!
"They understand that and understand that the longer-term ambition for the football club is to be in a stadium where we access revenue 365 days a year – not on 23 or 24 days.”
If its that critical, why havent they started building it yet??
Surely the sooner its built the sooner the pie money rolls in??

NYou're connected RFC. How are they going to generate this all year round income? From the "plans" they've turned out I dont recall seeing a Hotel, Casino and exhibition hall. Surely this is what gives the Ricoh all year round income?
Not about the pie money, it's about income and revenue streams the other 340 days each and every year.
Regarding the building being started that will happen if and when the land purchase and planning go's-through but before that happens you have to jump through an enormous number of hoops.
Highways, environmental, local roads and transport links etc. etc.. Unfortunately authorities tend to move at a snails pace!
so... they are going to build a stadium and huge retail park now...in the middle of warwickshire
Like you I don't know where it will be built ( but have a very good idea where ) and your talking about an acquisition of land between 50 & 70 acres ( with additional adjacent land for further future development ), so consultation and accurate detail are essential. I'd refer you to the recent minutes of the Stadium Form Group.
Surely if SISU are in negotiation on a 50/70 acre plot not one jot of information has been leaked?All of those people, authorities involved and all not saying a word - never!Like you I don't know where it will be built ( but have a very good idea where ) and your talking about an acquisition of land between 50 & 70 acres ( with additional adjacent land for further future development ), so consultation and accurate detail are essential.

Which bit of the outline minutes are you referring? Why not share your guess of the location?

So if we owned our very own 12k capacity stadium outside of Coventry, what sort of 24/7/365 revenue would be available that we currently don’t get? Stadium Heritage Tours for example?
Exactly. if it's a guess then no harm done. If it is not a guess, then it makes no odds if you say it is a guess....
whist its true we need more revenue i think sisu are twats for not publically bidding for ricoh
if they do build a ground it will be smaller and not in cov, so i doubt they will get many concerts or conferences etc.
unless wasps buy us i cant see us ever owning own ground and doing well.
Well yep, that's my beef. Where on where are they going to find this magical piece of land, near Coventry, that has this great access and fab parking and will be big enough to encompass a casino and exhibition halls and hotels etc?
It's getting all a bit beyond ridiculous now.
A new stadium in the middle of nowhere simply isn't going to generate the revenue. You need customers and customers want easy access and good location and great facilities.
This thing sounds like a white elephant before we even start. Whatever at first is mooted, you can be bound sure any reality wouln't even be half of that vision.
Sisu simply have to be looking how they can get more revenue and access to revenue through Wasps.
Wasps aren't going to be utilising the Ricoh for 365 days a year on a significant basis. There are halls etc. at the Ricoh that I am sure CCFC could utilise when Wasps aren't using them.
There is also the land around the Ricoh. If it is to be developed then Sisu need to be looking to see if they can get involved with that.

I don't believe sharing the Ricoh is or remotely could be an option and few appear to get that we need to be completely in charge of our own destiny, not just financially but the stadium has to be 'home' just like Highfield Road and not as meagre tenants, as we are at the moment at the Ricoh.
Most contributors on this site would not believe how restricted CCFC are in what they're able or want to implement!
Exactly.
Always assuming Wasps have the financial clout and funding to make their move a successful one?
do they understand we are 15 months into a 3 year plan to build a new stadium, and we have only really spoken to the lollypop lady
The original 3-5 year schedule is surely reset with the return to the Ricoh?
The urgency has gone as there are no looming penalties from the FL.

What makes you think that they'd be allowed to do that?
