It would effect them yes. Might be a killer blow but they would be far better off with a regular tenent
Generating revenue and interest to get their sponsorship out there I would assume. As for the OP, no they don’t however the consequences for not having us there will be dire if we fail to exist although most are putting this responsibility solely at SISU s door
Ultimately they need to embed themselves culturally, and be seen as a Coventry team in order to get fans to turn up regularly and buy into Wasps as a local entity to be supported.
Probably doesn't help sponsorship negotiations when the terms of the stadium sale are currently up for debate in court...
Yep if it’s seen as hostile then they will never be embedded in the city and probably the reverse.
It's not just Rugby fans they need. The hardcore Rugby fans, after all, will be going to CRFC anyway.
No, it's a natural instinct. It's worse when you see/smell one at a CCFC match. I needed a week off work with that one.
True. On the flip side a sponsor gets far more exposure with two sports teams getting coverage i.e visual when its on tv and even everytime its name is mentioned i.e on sky sports - lets get a report at the "ricoh" where the sky blues are playing blah blah" This would attract a better sponsorship deal. Every time its name is mentioned it improves its familiarity as a brand name.
On that basis, Ricoh are probably loving this dispute. They are getting a lot of mentions out of it.
