I’ll have whatever that man is taking,three years from selling it out is hilarious.
Him and Fisher must have attended the same business school
Well one is a successful business man with millions in the bank and one is Tim Fisher.
CEO of Wasps does live in a dream land if he thinks the Ricoh will sell out every week in three years time, very few rugby teams do, Leicester Tigers have an equivalent stadium size and have taken years to get to that stage, with a core base of home town supporters, many of whom have a stake in the club. Will take decades for Wasps to get that and will be based on enticing mini and junior rugby players to keep following them when they become adults
Not sure that really matters
I am just incredibly unoriginal
I do have a dislike for Wasps though which should cheer you up - but not outright hated
Is he Tim's brother?"plans will be announced in the next few months" is peak Fisher.
They will sell out every game . The fortune teller at the circus said it was going to happen. Also all of the players will fly into the ground on unicorns. He bought some lucky heather so it’s a dead cert that it will come true.Sell out in 3 years... Lol. Their attendances have been in steady decline.

That's what annoys me. Fisher opens his mouth and you have the local media firing in Freedom of Information requests yet Wasps seem to be able to basically put out press releases as 'articles' without any questions being asked.No comment in the story whatsoever about what happened to the training centre Wasps had already sought planning permission for, and why they didn't go anywhere.
They're on death row. :emoji_relaxed:
Every game isn’t it?The Wasps supporter at work who repeats any old rubbish Wasps say as fact reckons they’re giving out 15K free tickets for the next home game.
Guess it must be their equivalent of our community day.
This has got to be one of the worst decisions a sport has ever made, and there's some stiff competition. Selling out the game for short term greed.
The clubs will waste no time spending their windfall and then complain they have less money coming in every year. No doubt leading to another sale and before you know it they own less than 50%.
The real fun will come when CVC decide to sell up, no reason they wouldn't sell to owners of the calibre of SISU or similar.
Should just about pay off a certain Chairman's loan ?
I hope that’s what he does and wouldn’t be shocked if he did as it wouldn’t be the first time for him
Can't be true, Wasps said they couldn't possibly move to the new ground being built in Brentford as rugby couldn't be played there.So, London Irish moving to Brentford.

Actually it might not mean there is any loss of income. Depends what rights are attached to the CVC shares. If they have capital shares only that give voting rights but no rights to income then annual income for the clubs may not dip at all because of the CVC acquisition.
The plan is i should imagine to widen the appeal of that leagues product which would increase incomes and capital. CVC might be looking for capital appreciation and a cut of the extra income they bring or even an annual fee for that extra income based on performance
Also 37% of the clubs income in terms of central distributions comes direct from the RFU (approx 25.5m in total) that wont be affected by CVC ownership
I reckon the effect if CVC do take 27% (what i read about the final deal done) of income it would be under £1m pa per club as it stands. Against that each club gets just under £17m now.
