Break even (6 Viewers)

[Bruce the Boot]

d in the OP
operating break even ?
. The club presently owes its owners £36m (plus other operating creditors)with total assets of £1m plus any saleable players (what £3m tops?)

Basically until the debt is written off , we are stuck where we are .

I've never met Italia, but he does seam like a awfully nice chap who has a better grasp on what's going on at CCFC than you and your herd of sheep.

Baa

Give us an update in a year.

his little one will be 6 and you'll still be full of shit!

I've never met him, but I think he hates CCFC.

1) So its not right for CCFC to move to Northampton, but you endorse another sporting club doing the same?
2) I don't buy that the match day experience is better for kids at Wasps. I have spoken to a few kids who have been. Not one has returned. The football would be better, and was better last season with a winning team. Its funny I didn't hear so much moaning at the start of last season.
3) I can quote about kids throwing away flags, it happened. The fact you took that small part of my story to suit your agenda, shows exactly what you constantly do, write to your agenda. If you cared to look at the bigger picture I was talking about the good work they tried to do, better than CCFC, but ultimately how it failed. As you like saying 'you need to deal with it' It seems you don't like facts that demean Wasps, yet tell us all we have to accept them about CCFC.
4) I like many accept Wasps are here, but don't like the fact. If we work with them, we will still remain an average league one team, in a stadium owned by a Rugby team, owned buy SISU. I think I aspire higher than you for the club.
5) As with everyone else I want SISU gone. Its just unlike you I can see that Wasps being here are a huge problem if SISU ever go, and that possibly Wasps owning the stadium, due to SISUs ineptitude, is why no one will ever want to buy the club, well unless its Wasps and then it just be more of the same. I know that SISU screwed up not buying the ground, but ultimately by Wasps owning it, the club are doomed, but you continue singing their praises as the club goes down the pan.

the hypocrisy and lack of self awareness of these people is staggering.

Nope I've never been to Coventry Rugby in my life, I had no interest in Rugby until I went to a Wasps game, I didn't think I'd like it but I was wrong.

Incidentally just to add another dimension to the augment, my Wife goes with me to the Rugby and she absolutely loves it.

I've only ever taken her to football a couple of times, she's not keen and thinks it boring in comparison.

Pathetic

On the subject of going to watch Wasps I know 5 people from Coventry 3 used to watch the Tigers and 2 the Saints now Wasps season ticket holders that I can understand. What I can't for the life of me understand are people who previously had no interest in rugby ,going to watch Wasps.

I can't understand it to be honest, the rugby supporter certainly seems to be a totally different animal to the football supporter.
Each to their own though.

I can also understand that, the same as a bloke from the rugby club type.

Do you know many who had never been to a rugby game at all but now love wasps? If so, how vocal are they about sisu etc?

I'm not sure I can understand that either, tbh. If I were happy watching Leicester, I'd keep watching them. If I wasn't happy, I wouldn't be watching them in the first place!

(I appreciate there have been a fair few years of unhappiness watching CCFC that blows this out the water but... not like watching Leicester has been a chore, is it)

Most people would be interested in England rugby games on the tv so it's an easy step to watch the stars at the Ricoh. Personally I also watch Coventry Welsh ladies as my daughter plays for them. It's an easy walk to the Ricoh for me so it all fits in.
At what age can people find a love of rugby?

Sisu are rubbish however you look at it. You must be looking at it from a different angle.

 

[shmmeee]

You aim to break even, but that doesn't have to be year on year.

It all depends on the situation of the business, what are the opportunities for growth? What credit facilities are available at what cost? Over what period do you want a return?

The majority of the population think rugby is boring.

No Nick I don't, I like rugby watched it a quite a bit,but I couldn't go every week when I do go it's to watch Cov.

Why, because I have started to enjoy rugby late in life?

no because you have to keep telling people how great it is. If it was that great how come their crowds are going down.

 

[peeler]

The majority of the population think rugby is boring.

I think the majority of the population also think football is boring.

I must have missed that poll. When was it?

Did you go to the Euro Q/F against Exeter Chiefs last year? No one would ever think that game was boring if they had been.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I can see why people who watched Rugby from home would be interested in going to live games but I can't figure out why somebody would change the team they support. If Hull City or Burnley moved to the Ricoh I wouldn't start watching/supporting them.

I wouldn't switch football teams good god no. But I can, would and do support a team from another sport.

If you and Italia want to share Wasps chat, could you toddle off to the Wasps forum, there's a good chap.

Sadly, this is very true. Maybe not majority though.

Where have I said how great it is ?
I just say I go and give a comparison.

If people stop referring back to Wasps perhaps it wouldn't happen.

I can also understanthat, the same as a bloke from the rugby club type.

Well that made me laugh.

Did you say that every time you visited Highfield Road when we were in the top league, that you were off to see the stars? I went to support my team whatever the opposition.

Still I suppose you cant miss the stars at Wasps, I mean Haskell is so fat he is un-missable.

Not a patch on this game, the result made it all the more enjoyable.

What do you think makes kids go?
When I was 12 we got promoted to D1 and yes I then saw the stars I had seen on TV and I was hooked.
Of course it makes a difference.
Anyway I'm in the casino at 12 tomorrow if you want that pint.

My kids started going as they want to support their local team, and obviously because I go as well. Its not about stars, they see them on the TV, its about their team.

Italia?
