Significantly less than they would get at Wycombe given the amount of frees they have already given and the fact the handful who actually are stupid enough to pay will be paying a lot less than they would there.

Millions according to Lucas who seems to have a broken calculator. Who gives a shit anyway neither the city or the cities football club or rugby club are going to benefit. If a million people turn up for the game it would in no way validate franchising a club from London to Coventry.

How about being happy that our landlord will have funds to invest back into the ground.

The new pitch in the summer will be fantastic and guess what it wont cost us a penny...

Apparently food and drink sales per customer are twice as high at a Rugby match, so with the complaints so far it will mean further investment in the bars and food concessions. More real ale instead of carp lager, fantastic.

That would be because the bars are open for a lot longer perhaps ?

Want funds? Their balance sheet showed £13 million negative funding and that was before this deal.

Compass share in the food revenue and if we believe the council the profit is 10%

Serious question, as a Wasps fan why have you signed up on a CCFC forum?

How about being both. I was a season ticket holder years ago before I moved away from the area. Came back,never got a season ticket but been to about 30% of home games in the last few years. I have however always been a Rugby fan, spent many a happy time at Tigers, Saints, Rugby, Cov and Worcester. Now I have a premiership side on my doorstep, I'm happy.

It is possible to be a fan of both codes. I also like cricket but tend to follow Northanmptonshire, is that OK with you?

Won't cost us a penny, have Wasps said we can stop paying rent?

All the food kiosks could have Michelin stars for all I care. I can manage to go 2 hours in the afternoon without eating and what is available to eat an drink is way down my list of priorities.

And matchday costs which have 'wear and tear'/maintance costs factored into them.

Funny that, there were a fair few complaints on their message board about lack of service and the time it take to get served. They weren't impressed.

Perhaps proper rugby fans aren't as used to queuing as football fans....

That's just the appalling plebs that generally work for Compass on zero hours contracts. They have always been on a go slow plus the overpriced crap they serve is awful. Much better down at the BPA where at least the produce is good and you know that the profits help the club !

I will think you will find for the majority of injuries they dont, the trainer comes on and play continues.

Pity you seem to have picked such a team of f*cking wimps that fall over injured more times than Diego Costa. Sad that.

Sad fact is.... Wasps attract more fans, increase turnover and look like achieving sporting success. Slag all you want. The obvious question is " why couldn't we have done this?". Don't bother blaming the council, Higgs, Richardson, Strachan, Coleman, the weather and so on.. The question should be asked of the stewards of the club. They are in charge.

Sorry Wingy I missed the game, but a great performance from Bath.

You have to laugh at football players when you compare that both Sam Burgess in Union, and Sean Edwards in his Rugby League career, both played almost full games with broken cheek bones, whilst the average football player would have rolled around on the floor for ten minutes, expected a standing ovation from the crowd as they were stretchered off, and would spend ten weeks on the sidlines doing bugger all whilst acting like the worst wounded soldier of all time....well at least Diego Costa would ;)

Perhaps we should uproot our club to another town perhasp one without a league club like the MK dons did, to see if we get an upturn in fans, just to see if we can match the London shits.:facepalm:

Lets see how good their attendances are over the next couple of years shall we before crowing about how good they are.
