If we are staying then I hope we do, surely it's not hard to have things change in the concourse etc depending on matchdaysI'm glad to see they are talking to CCFC and the talks are positive.
We need items like this to give us some hope for the future.
Hopefully SISU/CCFC can issue a positive statement as well, perhaps committing the club to the stadium in the long term.
Once we are on board we can start to make it feel like a joint stadium rather than just Wasps.
Why would they pay towards the pitch? They rent it?
Wasn't that compensation for leaving before the end of the season? If ccfc need to pay then I assume the women, wba and Leicester will all be chipping inDidnt SISU pay for northampton at sixfields to have a new pitch and we only rented that ?:thinking about:
The pitch will look stupid with all the rugby markings on it as well as the football ones. Something like Wigans. Just looks wrong.

Perhaps they should mark the rugby lines with magic spray
There's enough room to fill it with both.
Just need some commitment from Sisu to make it happen.
Is it just me that hopes they say they have dropped ideas of a new stadium and that they can make this work?
Whilst I won't be attending any WASPS games (subject to Munster & Leinster playing) and I fear their purchase of the Ricoh could kill off CCFC, it is refreshing to see a club owner who has positive news talks, about things related to the sport ie the pitch and will actually be implemented rather than court cases, fantasy stadiums etc.. CCFC's current silence is deafening - may be they run out of bull$hit to say.
The only way I can see it working is if they sell half of ACL to the club.

Agree, but as that is not going to happen, so it needs to be assess to a fair share of football related incomes.
It's in Wasps interest to realise this for the future of both. We need a win win situation or both will fail.

They're not going to give us a fair share of the football related income. They will likely give it with one hand (revenue) whilst taking it with the other (rent) What's a fair share anyway? And what about non football related - e.g them setting stadium naming rights, stand sponsorship etc. We would be adding to that branding.

Good on them in my opinion. I doubt very much that anyone from Joy's ivory tower shall be making a contribution however!
Didnt SISU pay for northampton at sixfields to have a new pitch and we only rented that ?:thinking about:
I would if I thought it could work well for the club, I don't believe it can though.
Or the Other way is the Owner of ACL takes 100% ownership of CCFC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETrfhSVHOtY how they used the same system at Wembley.
No hint of them buying CCFC unfortunately. It was also galling to see the Ricoh described as a 'magnificent stadium', which it is. I still cannot understand anything about SISU, the stadium could have been theirs for the same piddling price Wasps paid if they'd not behaved like half house-trained polecats. Are they just stupid? Please explain someone the logic behind anything they have done.
Why would they pay towards the pitch? They rent it?
I agree, anything they do that could help the team whether or is a new pitch etc is fulfilling their role as a decent land Lord so you can't knock that.Sisu already pay the rent and as long as they keep doing that then that is all that is required.
I thought the words on the Wasps Web site were very positive. Fair play to them they are at least being conciliatory and considerate towards us CCFC fans. (Wonder when Joy and Tim will?)
