The England ladies game on Sunday is nearly a sell out.

There’s a big difference between an England “event” and second tier women’s football. It looks like their biggest attendance this season (when they actually publish it) is just over 300, most games are much lower so I don’t think they’ll be seeing the numbers you suggest anytime soon.

The erasing of Wasps has been a beautiful thing indeed. What is there still left?

The dugout seats and those tarpaulin type things over the emergency vehicle exits in the south stand (although they’ve been rolled up for months!)

The club shop and the changing rooms are still branded I think. I’d imagine there are offices and bits too.

Still can’t believe they’re gone.

But they always were going to be gone. From 2016 it was apparent with fag packet maths they were heading for administration. Everyone could see it except any one that supports London wasps.

It's a hint they're putting a roof on the stadium.

Oh I agree that it was unsustainable. I remember back then questioning how they got by. Seems, like most prem rugby clubs, they are reliant on owner funding. Once Derek Richardson stopped funding them, it went to shit. That said, It just felt that it would never end.

Feel relieved it’s over if I’m honest.

To be honest the fact we're cheering in a group owned by Mike Ashley as our new landlord is just wrong.

I'm sure many will think us mad but seeing Wasps shit in that stadium always made me sick and frankly I found it embarrassing too. May they rot in hell.

They've tidied it up a little apparently. Not there today but people who are say it looks great for the Women's game.

Trains a total mess obviously. Non-regulars trying to get on.

Interesting to see that they are doing £5 return shuttle buses from Cov station and telling fans to park and ride from there.

Once again makes it baffling that there is not a single shuttle bus from Coventry city centre to the stadium on match days.

Would much rather any shop be the sponsor than a buy now-pay later service.

It’s sitting with the administrators waiting for it to be distributed at a rate of about 18p in the pound IIRC

So there's a clear distinction between rugby creditors and Bondholders then.
One lot get repaid, the other lot don't.
Whoever thinks that's right need to go and wobble their heads.......for a very very long time.
Btw there's a difference between saying you will and actually repaying and Wasps haven't been too good at keeping promises recently.
Click to expand...
The bondholders have a preferential position for repayment (will be part repayment) from proceeds of sale of ACL. The new buyers will have to pay the rugby creditors themselves, on top of what the paid for Wasps Rugby operation.

Record attendance today of 32,128. Maybe they were correct when they said the new capacity of the stadium is now over 33,000.

With some not turning up and a supposed new capacity of over 33,000.

1000 unsold tickets and some no shows probably isn't far off.

It's a completely made up attendance tbh. Can't even be explained by some ticket holders not turning up as there were parts of the ground that were just empty.

Only the bits by the dugouts and small section in the away end.

Bearing in mind it's a two match day where people will be messing about in the concourse etc.
