Have thought for a while that any half decent marketing man at Wasps would have quickly identified the large amount of disaffected CCFC fans, who for whatever reason, no longer go and watch CCFC.
An easy group to encourage to a new exciting product on the basis that they have been starved of success for many years, are indifferent to the football team/club in its current form, more than likely have disposable cash that used to be spent on football and know where the stadium is.
Suspect this was a big factor in making Wasps decide to buy the Ricoh.
Wasps can offer huge discounts on season tickets as they get revenues from other areas too.
Weren't people saying this when they came in?
Also if Coventry RFC started losing a lot and hadn't just had that massive winning streak, wouldn't they potentially lose fans too?
If it's only League games then that's only 11 games, game by game ratio it's similar to CCFC.

That's the thing, people expect CCFC to be able to do the same. Wasps can pretty much say come in for free but buy loads of food and beer and come into this Exhibition Hall. CCFC can't can they, when their money maker is the ticket.
I'd love nothing more than for CCFC to be dirt cheap / free and have a full house every week.
That's true, but they have a wage bill x2 the size of ours and have less than half the amount of league games to generate money. (Yes they also have cups like us on top)
Edit: tigers is over 17 games

Nobody knows what percentage of F&B, car parking etc we get at the moment. We do get some according to TF.
We will never get the required increase on these whilst Sisu are fighting battles against CCC and indirectly against ACL and Wasps.
As I have said many times Wasps could afford to give us a good percentage of these incomes and still be better off than if we moved elsewhere.
The question is getting the balance right and whether they will be enough to satisfy our income needs for a push up the leagues.
I do know though, that if you don't ask for them, you won't get them.

How do you know they haven't asked - the answer will be no anyway.
I have spoken to their COO and he has said that they are receptive to our needs.
He is dealing directly with the club and at the time had not spoken with Sisu on anything.
If I was Sisu I would ask for what they need and advise us of the answer.
We could argue on the facts and perhaps take a different stance.
I suspect Sisu would be hypocrites to ask for the incomes whilst they are battling CCC with the hope of getting compensation from CCC and eventually ACL.

They are facing the challenge head on by doing the business on the pitch
.... and it would be great to get promoted and set up some sort of player exchange with Wasps.
There appears to be quality players in depth at Wasps that only get a run out at games like Cardiff the other week.
Is that the same CEO who assured fans they would stay on the London area and also stated that the net worth of the company was negative £1 million when it was megatine over £13 million?

Nope
Did your new friend Nicky tell you that?
Never spoke to him, just the COO Jeremy Wilton.
Never asked him that question. I only asked what they were doing to help our plight and what incomes were available.

....so in effect CRFC become Wasps reserves....

in reality CRFC are already the reserve and feeder team for several clubs, much the same as CCFC with all our loanees and any talent being sold on
