There's plenty of clubs who share who don't have that issue, particularly in the US. Its an issue that can be resolved but relies on Wasps being reasonable.
Its easily done, not just in the US. Bristol City and Bears don’t have an issue. Wasps came in and wanted to stamp their authority on the place and in doing so pushed us out making it not our home. Moving out badge to put theirs in place, making it much bigger, wasps branding everywhere, wasps adverts, their badge being bigger, their signs behind kiosks, over charging us for hospitality, kicking us out of hospitality, moving our fixtures around, not allowing us our own stewards, kicking us out 2 hours after full time etc. etc. etc.
I should have said The EU complaint. Does that make you feel better love?
Well, thank goodness for that. :angelic:Well its actually factual unlike your previous statement
As much as I hate Wasps, (read my posts!) In the tunnel/changing areas, on CCFC matchdays, there was a clever system that allowed CCFC to have branding (it was a massive team photo, crowd pictures and badges etc) all the way along both walls in the tunnel corridor. For anybody that has been down there, that is a pretty long couple of walls.
Happy Birthday, youth ...............hahahhaha
If ACL went bust mid-season the administrators would be called in and they would need as much income as possible to pay creditors so we'd be fine. If ACL was then sold by the administrator our lease would remain in place.
Half
If you could guarantee that Wasps are going to go bust or are going to clear off back to London then fine. The fact is that you cannot know with any certainty how long they will carry on for. If it is a war of attrition it will be costing the City as well as hurting Wasps. What if they don't go bust by Christmas? What if they are still alive and kicking this time next year and we are still not back in Coventry? Do we 'starve them out' for another year? If a new stadium was in sight then maybe you could say leave the Ricoh to Wasps. We all know any new stadium is probably fantasy and even if it somehow starts to be a possibility it is going to be years in the planning and building.
Sadly, they are pretty much the same thing!!
So you got used to Small Heath
I very much used to agree with you, always said I'd never go to St Andrews but I caved in the end, always thought I'd give anything just to be back in Coventry. Honestly though, the thought of going back and propping up Wasps' finances makes me sick to my stomach.
You're probably right. My hatred of Wasps likely makes me irrational on the subject, but fuck me I hate Wasps.
Why do you have to bring me down with realism so early in the day, Clint?
How does it work in Bristol, is it owned by City and the bears a tenants? What kind of crowds do the bears get?
I think both clubs are owned by the same bloke who has pumped millions into both.
As Cranfield says they are both owned by Steve Lansdown and he is majorly bank rolling them. They used to own the Memorial ground which is now Bristol Rovers' home. but they had to sell it when in difficulties, Lansdown bought them and moved them to Ashton Gate and they are quite aggressively market from there under the 'Bristol Sport' umbrella. They share retail shops, ticketing operations and you can even get a joint season ticket for the two of them, never an issue with fixture clashing as they work with the EFL and RFU to ensure they are on opposite weekends or a TV fixture. I once saw Bears play on a Friday night game when the weather was terrible, rained non stop but the pitch was perfect for City to play the next day.
