At the weekend I went to my first ever Rugby match to see the Wasps having been a lifelong CCFC supporter and season ticket holder. Whilst not knowing all the rules of the game what struck me most is how the Wasps turned a game into an event. Pre match entertainment in the Village, assistance outside the ground, generation of energy inside plus e-mails prior and after the game asking me about my experience. Now that is how to both look after your fan base and build it whilst maximising the potential of the stadium
Rugby is not real a game that I am in to but the Wasps showed me the power and potential of the Stadium and made me feel appreciated as one of their customers.
CCFC are you watching as you no longer have the right to expect me to just handover my cash to you without something of this type of experience in return.
Well done to all involved at the Wasps for a truly memorable experience
It's not an invalid post at all and those that scoff at it are being very small minded. The guy is just confirming what many others have said about the level of professionalism from one club compared to the next. Wasps and many other sports clubs are moving with the times and treat their fanbase as valued customers, SISU treat their fanbase like fucking idiots but then they're not interested in the supporters or the club really are they.
23K bums on seats. Who could confidently argue against?

5k down on the curtain raiser. Need to try harder and deliver more free flags around the city to take more business from the city's own rugby club.
Agree Sky Blues talk not wasps talk close the thread Nick
I'm sure I read on here a few weeks ago it would be a guaranteed sell out as it was comparable to a champions league fixture vs Real Madrid.
Which is a lot less than the 20K we are down on our first game post returning.5k down on the curtain raiser. Need to try harder and deliver more free flags around the city to take more business from the city's own rugby club.
Wasps treated their core fanbase with even less regard than SISU. They need the PR offensive because they have all their eggs in the Ricoh basket and need the fickle Coventry public to stay interested for it to come off. Be assured that if they find a more lucrative venue to relocate to they will do so at the first convenience and leave these same fickle people behind.
No one in the know said that.
It was a wasps fan. See post 89. I was suprised it wasnt you for once.

Yes, I agree with you on the general franchise situation. It's appalling and shouldn't have been allowed to happen either by the Rugby authorities or Coventry Council. All that said, good PR and Marketing and an attempt to make your fans feel valued for their support is not a bad thing in times when there are many things for the public to spend their cash on !
Let's not make any bones about it unless people in Coventry turn out in substantial numbers to support this farce Wasps are sunk. Equally let's not pretend that their support will only be valued until a more lucrative ground becomes available.

The average Premiership Rugby match gets a crowd of just 13k.
There is no evidence to suggest Wasps aren't capable of maintaining at least 13k indefinitely, and even less evidence to suggest they cant manage on that.
Well there is because a large proportion haven't paid. One game - the second one - I was offered free tickets from 3 different sources - one including full corporate hospitality.
So what evidence is there that this isn't the same at all top flight rugby matches?
The supports there, the question will be, can it last.
If they keep the tickets discounted and get the kids locked in there won't be a problem.
I think the earlier time for kick off suits getting kids home in the light as well.

Because they are relocating. I used to have a strong contact with a Northampton company who used a box they had purchased there for incentive purposes - the winner got a ticket in the box. There are no freebies at Leicester or Northampton - you know that as well.
How would I know that?
Freebies are good anyway. It just means the club is trying to integrate itself into the local community.
How many PL football clubs put on an entertainments village for their games and make the game an event?

Compass through a joint venture company with ACL have the responsibility for F and B. As you say, the food is very good.
I would be very surprised if compass have anything to do with the 3 course meals in the VIP lounge which is what I am referring to
