As long as the dangly bit at the front doesn't look like a picnic bar, I think you should be ok.

Seriously? WTF?
That probably means about 3000 paying then.
That's mad.

'Sea of sky blue seats': Why are Wasps crowds on the decline?

While Coventry City are nearly packing out their home ground since returning after two seasons away, Wasps are struggling to get bums on seats. Rugby writer Bobby Bridge shares his thoughts on the decline in attendances...

Another War and Peace length essay by someone who openly admits his loyalty to a given club is transient. Comparisons to Lesta Tigers are redundant, they’ve been based in their city all along and don’t need freebies to inflate the crowds. The club that has had everything stacked in its favour has failed in contrast to a club that had pretty much everything stacked against it.

He is right on one thing-they aren’t welcome and never will be.

He is a prick yes, but not so biased as he was and he's starting to see the cracks in the project!

I just think that the main reason is the freebies and the rest is waffle. Admittedly I don't know enough about how rugby works or the psyche of your average rugby supporter. But it does seem coincidental that when the free tickets stopped, the crowd dropped.

The crux of it is that covid 19 has meant that people found something else to do, then the free tickets dried up.

we can recover from Covid 19 because Coventry people have an emotional attachment to Coventry City, wasps are not a Coventry club therefore nobody cares that they got to a final in front of empty stadiums

Nice that they have let Bridge out to write this desperate plea for support, I am pleased to read that people are getting stick for wearing Wasps crap around the city it should be about as popular as rival teams shirts.

As a club we have come out of the lockdown flying and our fans have been desperate to get back in the ground theirs must have taken up knitting.

The worse their team plays the lower their gates, they’ve finally figured out how fickle the sporting population of Coventry really is!

TBF, Bobby is paid (poorly) to write this crap.
He's a nice lad (I know him, and have paid him to do photographic work in the past - he's primarily a photographer, and a bloody good one) and a poor rugby player. He'll forgive me for the latter, I'm sure, as I'm (well, was) worse than him and freely admit it.
When you're paid to write horseshit, you write horseshit.
I'm not going to hold it against him.

A lot of rugby fans are fickle shapeshifting twats tbh
I've supported Cov for nigh on 60 years and will never change, but I know quite a few quislings who, although Cov fans for many years, get uppity when people like me diss the parasites.
It does, sadly, seem to go with the territory.
Twats .

With you on that one. We have friends who have supported 3 different teams in past 20 years (Quins, Saracens and Wasps - (then in Wycombe). All switches based on house moves to within 30 minutes of their previous location. It baffles me how anyone could be so uncommitted to their current team that they would rather swap allegiance than make the effort of travelling an extra 10 miles up the road to watch their current club. Rugby is a hugely unstable sport in this respect - Wasps are not the only team who have moved around - although it does seem like London clubs are more afflicted when it comes to this, just like the fans.

Once a Wasp and DrunkenWasps forum desperately blaming Covid and the club not having a tiktok account for marketing on their poor crowds.

Don't think one of them has mentioned Coventry being forced to move to Birmingham as a reason the people in the city have abandoned them.

What I find bizarre is their comeback is - well CCFC is making us money… surely as a fan you shouldn’t be happy to be rattling around in a 32,000 seater with 5k. I know I hated it when we had that problem

Found this comment intreating on Bobby Bridges post. Always wondered what happens when the current owner packs up. If a long term Wasps / rugby fan takes over would they consider moving the club back to London?

Issue they have is finding somewhere to play in London.

Brentford have found their tenant.

QPR are actively looking to build their new stadium. How brilliant would if be if they went back to square one sharing with them again!

Without meaning to bring my own point back up again, but MK dons ground share would be perfect for them!

Are they allowed to sell the lease to another sports club or would it revert back to the council in the event they wanted to move?

They used the lease for bond security didn't they? Presumably if they can do that they can do what they want with it.
