You don't think anyone in Coventry will go? wouldn't put money on that, Wasps v Leicester at home will draw many independent rugby supporters locally.

But CT also said they paid £2.77m for 50%...can someone explain where the figure of £20m comes from? Assume that a load of this is for taking over the council mortgage?

Especially on a Sunday when people are not involved in club rugby at the likes of Broadstreet, Earlsdon, Barkers, etc., etc.,

My thoughts exactly, you will also find supporters of the bigger sides when they are not playing will be attracted to watching a rugby premiership match too, and if they get back into Europe then expect sell outs.

match tickets £25 - £45
season tickets up to £555

Expect a lot of free tickets for locals though !!!

Loan - £14.4M
ACL - £5.54M (£2.77M each to the Council and Higgs)

CET reporting Higgs are going to give SISU first option on buying their 50%

Leicester and Northampton will both be big games. As will all the European games - Toulon, Toulouse, etc. Leinster or Munster would be bananas.....
