very shallow ….. with respect you need to get out more.
and typical Londoners don’t care about anything or anyone else. As long as they’re fine everything else is collateral damage.
I really don’t know the breakdown of people across the stadium, all I can tell you is that where I sit there are more season ticket holders from the midlands than from other parts of the country. Don’t overlook that over the years many long standing Wasps supporters come from all over the country not just London. People move on in life but they still support Wasps. I’m sure that could be said of CCFC also. I have friends who supported Wasps at Wycombe but live nearer Cov, they used to travel down.
Genuine question, where have the rest of them gone now you are getting 8k or so for some games? I know they gave loads of free tickets when they first moved in, has that stopped now
If you heard the crap wasps fans spouted about us when we were on our knees and how they’re the heroes in all this you’d be cynical toovery shallow ….. with respect you need to get out more.

Good question, as far as I’m aware the freebies have largely stopped, I doubt completely though. As with any sport attendances will go up and down with success and you will always have a core of supporters who will go rain or shine. If 8k is the core support so be it.

Which if that is the case means the whole venture has been somewhat pointless and expensive doesn’t it
'other media outlets locally' makes it sound like there's a lot of options. The reality is its the Telegraph and CWR and they've always sung from the same hymn sheet regarding both Wasps and SISU.agree there is a significant financial issue nobody denies that ….. I’m not familiar with other media outlets locally ….. are you suggesting that all the media outlets are collaborating for a news blackout ?
Does lower case k mean thousand? If so, the ticket counters are either deluded or intentionally misleading.

As I mentioned before… to the detriment of the local football and rugby team - but they’re not your concern right?Expensive yes it would seem that way……. Pointless I would disagree, 8,000 can still enjoy watching Wasps play rugby and the club still exists so not pointless to me.

It isn’t short term, because we’ve somehow dragged ourselves back to the Championship where the finances somewhat hold.I don’t think it’s to the detriment of the football club in truth now
Unless something changed though it’s totally unsustainable
The loan has always been the Achilles heel. The funding debt has got worse - Richardson is owed more money - and losses are averaging £10 million a year
It’s now admitted renewed funding has to be from more than one source and the stadium will need significant repairs and maintenance - how is the business sustainable

That’s your view …… there are businesses that are seemingly far more unsustainable that roll on for years. Reality is none of us know what will happen. Right now Wasps are still here until we are told otherwise the rest is speculation
I accept Bobby Bridge isn’t reporting it ….. I’m not defending it ….. for what ever reason one guy stays silent. ….. Is there only one journo at the paper ? Surely if it’s of that much significant interest another journo would pick it up ? ….. much like the national press who have political leanings they pick and choose stories to suit their own ends. That’s life unfortunately
With that many question marks in one post I insist you work for Reach Media.I accept Bobby Bridge isn’t reporting it ….. I’m not defending it ….. for what ever reason one guy stays silent. …..

He's the telegraph's wasps reporter so he should be on it, but I guess if he writes something negative he might lose his free shirts

1. Where has there been continued regeneration in the North East of the City?
2. Was CCFC allowed to remain at the Arena?
3. Has the move by London Wasps disadvantaged the local rugby club?
No business does unless it has a backer than can constantly fund such losses
It's 2022. He may well do.8k a week?
We had more in there in the lowest rung of the ladder and our attendances were often given as 6/7k
If there are more than 3k paying customers watching the insects then my uncles got a fanny

Every game is available online Bobby.I assume you attend Wasps games to see the attendances every home game ? Many are not televised.
Correct ….. and many do have backers with deep pockets, not just in sports.
It can only be 8k if the travelling team bring decent support, looking at the images posted from the Wasps’ recent home games, there are only 4-6k in attendance. Wasps fans forget that we know what 8k looks like, we had those numbers in the bottom rung of the league, not vying for Europe in the top flight of Rugby Union.Certainly not sustainable on the quoted 8000. The 8000 that continues to dwindle and will be less than 5000 soon enough.

Wasps are done; I feel sorry for the fans that supported them prior to the move here, but any locals can fester in their own misery when it goes belly up, especially those that gloated over our situation and have been equally as dismissive of Cov Rugby’s plight. Dicks.
