Wasps downward spiral... (45 Viewers)

[Peter Billing]

from what I saw on twitter it looked an ok attendance but dint season ticket holders get 3 free tickets so no way you can judge any sort of attendance

Also some discount code for tickets for £10, passed around freely online

Excluding the hospitality tier above, the main stand has the lowest capacity of any section of the CBS arena and holds around 5000-5500 spectators, so based on your comment, there may have been 4000 there (or maybe 1000 paying people) in that part of the ground.

The gate looks about 10-12k

Their biggest crowd of the year is half our average

 

[Skybluesince82]

I love this thread. They’re such wankers and it’s all going so badly.

Tell Shugs that. He seems a tad angsty today

 

[Liquid Gold]

Funny seeing that some of them know what is happening being rounded on by others that think everything is perfect.

Also big laugh at the guy that tried to have a dig about being owned by a hedge fund.

The only thing they have to say is "keep paying the rent lol", imagine having to resort to that when you're losing £10m a year with a huge bond to refinance on worse terms.

Thoughts with whoever Earlsdon bloke is on that forum, getting called a twerp is never nice!

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

I can't remember when i last heard someone being referred to as a twerp! PMSL

 

[Liquid Gold]

Crossed a line with that one old chap

Shugs to be him doesn't it

At least they have woken up a bit and starting to show some emotion. Why is that moron Neils talking about the Villa?

Well according to one you're criticising Wasps because you had a bad Christmas

Bad Christmas for them is missing out on the biscuit race with the chaps.

Im going to get banned soon. I do genuinely as per my last post on there know a director of rugby at a championship club - why he is one I’ve no idea but in one drunken rant he described them as “dodgy fuckers, scum, no one knows where the money is coming from, wankers, arseholes and as soon as they go bust the fucking better”

I replied “not a fan are you?”

I do know someone whose dad was (and still might be) a director at Cov RFC. Had the same to say.

 

[Grendel]

There is no moderation on the drunken wasps shite as I’m still not banned. Can’t people just get pissed create accounts on there and rip the piss for a day? Shugs poor chap will have a heart attack in his care home

I'm beginning to think most of the posts are Shugs talking to himself with kentwasp playing gooseberry

It’s definitely GMK in its dying days but there are a couple of others - the other site which has similar platform to this one still has the same weirdos on there

I’m on there too.

Likewise actually-see if you can work out which one is mine

Big laughs at the guy thinking that the city has welcomes the insects with open arms. The council did but the public certainly has not and is now not at all bothered by them.

Just this one guy going up with his season ticket for him and his wife/right hand doesn’t make a community.

The council hierarchy are pretty silent on Wasps now. They’ve become a bit like the drunk uncle no one wants at the wedding

Love that Shug fella telling one of his fellow posters that this forum is childish, the posters name is Carlos spicy weiner

Think Carlos spicy wiener is a Saints fan who lives in Cov. Enjoyed reading some of his neutral views on why most in the City can’t stand Wasps!

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Shugs is definitely one of those fans who has benefitted from the move to Coventry. Probably easier for him to get here rather than Wycombe

I've noticed that too, Duggins, Lucas and Mutton are nowhere,are they regretting there decision now selling to a franchise with 5k gates!

I assume they’re not fussed no more. The Ricoh has two tenants - one successful, so therefore money flooding into the city - all whilst not selling to Seppala and not being on the hook for the Ricoh’s losses.

wasps was nothing but a pawn in their vendetta against Sepalla

How bloody insulting….5k gates!

It’s significantly less than 5k I’m telling you!

Pretty reasonable summary.

What happens if wasps go pop and the lease reverts back to the council would be where it gets interesting.

I doubt they're regretting it as they offloaded their debt easily and without having been seen to make any concession to SISU

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

At this rate their fucking forum is going to have more Sky Blues Talk posters than Wasps posters.

They get to sell the lease all over again and make more money, or revert back to being masters of the club all over again.

the council are in an annoyingly good position
