Some questioned whether there would be any economic benefits for bringing in wasps. When this was part of the councils rationale

Yup. Bloody obvious really - it wasn't going to be a bad thing was it?

You may “LOL”, but in my view you’ve completely misjudged this. A quick look at the Wasps forum (not something I intend to do regularly) reveals Irish fans asking about the best hotels & restaurants to use for their visit. Wasps have turned these big European games, which they are pretty much guaranteed every year, into all-day friendly (and beery) events. I don’t know too much about the game, but I suspect the Ricoh Arena may soon be regarded as a must-do for rugby fans from far and wide.

Before anyone says this thread is only about Wasps and should be moved, aren’t the lessons clear for CCFC? Top-class sport sells tickets.
