Will happen anyway. If we're not playing there they'll lose all that trade. Sure they're well aware of that and have raised it with Wasps.

Not sure how many people go there on non match days anyway but the casino operators must surely be looking to renegotiate terms if we're not at the Ricoh.

Yeah exactly, not many will be going there if city aren't playing there. Just the people who would be going to gamble anyway.
Isn't it about 24 matchdays in the league and then cup games?

Would the terms of their lease/rent whatever they pay be based on footfall at the Ricoh site in general or on how many people actually go in the casino?

You would think there must be something based on events. They wouldn't pay the same surely?
If they lose a big chunk of Footfall they should be able to claim.

I'm not so sure it would go on events. I'm sure they would charge more if we were in the Premiership getting crowds of 25,000 even though we played less games.
If you rent a unit in a shopping centre it's based on footfall. A casino in a complex may be different.

True! They would surely have some clauses along those lines. Same with the food people.

Spice Girls concert anyone? That’s the next event at the Ricoh I believe.

At Walsall away a random next to me was having an argument with his mrs. Said if she goes to spice girls she can forget about the caravan as they were finished. He wasn't there second half.
He should lead that protest

I wonder how Vodaphone feel about it. Just made an investment and wasps saying 1.6 million visitors to the Ricoh ( rubbish I know, it’s attendances not actual people). Us not going there reduces that by what, 400,000 attendances which would reduce the potential return on Vodaphones investment.
Don't forget the fraud investigation by the FCA - hardly the connection Vodaphone need at the minute

Says a lot about how recent events have changed fans perception of the situation.

I wouldn't look too much into him to him saying we are sisu. No fans think that and he would have said it for a reason.
Fair point, Nick. Was thinking about the tone on here generally as well though. Social media is a different beast but at least on this forum people’s perception seems to have shifted in favour of SISU a bit. Don’t you think?

Don't even think they are in favour of sisu, more that they see others are to blame as well as.
