Or you could say, when Wasps have no home ground and after many years have been unable to get one the opportunity comes up at the cut price Ricoh (Thanks to Sisu)
The decision is easily made because the support in Wycombe is minimal and the void of a top class rugby team in Warwickshire/West Midlands is apparent.
The added bonus is that they now get all the revenues they create at the newly purchased stadium.

Next, they need to feed on the positivity of CCFC management and it's fans and make it a win win situation for both teams by giving CCFC access to incomes and on a cheap long term rent.
Lets hope they don't read this board, revisit Sisu history at the Ricoh, talk to CCC about any outstanding court cases or become aware of a competitive stadium planned in 'the area'.

If they give that to CCFC they don't profit from CCFC.

But you said your calculations only work for the rental deals if we are in the PL? Can the club finance a PL mission with money just from the ticket sales?

No I said we could exist in the PL in answer to a question.
I don't know what the deal is with Wasps on incomes other than ticket sales so you will need to enlighten me if they said we can't have any access at all.

Are you saying that now we are cash positive (TF) that vastly bigger crowds would not finance us into the Championship?
Please show me your figures.

Similarly if you believe the only option is for the club to finance a new stadium I also would like to see your rough figures.
Mine don't add up to less than the old 'excessive' rent.

Ah the old working out thing.

Do you think we will make enough money at the Ricoh with a deal like this and 10,000 max crowds?

Have Wasps turned round and said that CCFC can have all the money the Ricoh makes from CCFC then?

Maybe you could ask the PR Machine when you go to the open day?

You mean 'we' surely ?
I'll let you know as it's live on the big screens at the Ricoh tomorrow.
Just like the Arsenal game was :whistle:

I need to get into the pre match warm up discussions before I give out my extensive team knowledge.
Wow, Haskell playing as well as financing their bid for the Ricoh?

They would be stupid not to make it a win win situation.
There are undoubtedly savings for both teams with CCFC being here and they need to pass a good percentage of these savings on.

I'll reserve judgement, assume they will do the right thing and come down like a ton of bricks on them if they don't.:whistle:

The whole premise of this particular thread is of course absurd .

We are supposed to believe that having an open day for wasps is some kind of marketing excellence and deride sisu for not thinking of it .

I can only assume the OP is citing sisu last season and for not having such events at Northampton. As that is the valid comparison. It is being done as it is aimed at targeting f people from a different city to join their fanbase. Sensible posters express concern that such targeting may have a detrimental impact on the fanbase of local clubs.

Not so the OP who seems to be enjoying himself today. Then of course we observe who the OP is and it all makes sense.

It is the fan of all new hedge funds that enter the city. First it was sisu. Without doubt he was the biggest supporter on here. Right up until the move to Northampton he stuck by them. The adulation to fisher made one thing there was some curious chemistry between them. He invented a nice little slogan for sisu and a lovely little banner which he used as his signature on here.

Now a new hedge fund is in town. He is all dewy eyed again and poor old Tim has been rejected and now its Nick who is the centre of attention. Perhaps a new banner is on the way and a new slogan for the latest hedge fund to catch his eye.

Someone asked what is Italiahorse?

Well without wishing to dwell too much on racial stereotyping one nation at war timed was always mocked for changing sides and getting out when the going got tough - that's Italia. As for horse well again it seems our friend is always changing horses but sadly just seems to back losers.

I only said I'd bought a ticket and that Wasps have asked me to lunch tomorrow, why get upset ? :rolleyes:

Italia is the name of a horse I own. Simple really.

SISU and open dont go in the same sentance.

For the people concerned about Wasps decimating our fan base I would be more concerned about the actions of SISU. No one has done it better than them.

They would be stupid not to extract as much profit from us as humanly possible. We have nowhere else to go, there is no incentive for them to give generous terms. The much derided Fish Bowl would be an alternative if SISU were to remotely take it seriously, but up until now its only purpose was as part of Operation Cheap Ricoh.

That wasn't what was said on here, if you rent a place it is your home according to those on here. Therefore Adams Park was there home and as you have quite rightly pointed out Coventry certainly isn't their home.

It is now so get used to it.
We just need to get a deal that makes it our home as well.

True it's SISU's fault that the fan base has crumbled over the last 7 years, I just don't get the support and encouragement for the team who is trying to pick up these fans and I don't think I will ever understand it.

It will never happen unless people stop being so negative, move on and push for an acceptable solution for CCFC.

I'm saying that the acceptable solutions for CCFC and Wasps are mutually exclusive because neither gets as much out of it as they should. Why should Wasps forfeit a share of profits when they are the landlords and why should we settle for not having all the money we generate?

You're asking the wrong question my friend.

The question you should be asking is what is SISU doing to reverse the decimation of our fan base?

Alot of posters, regardless of where you think the majority of the blame is, seem more intetested in what Wasps are going to do next than holding our owners to account.

... While some other posters seem to keep shouting SISU SISU SISU.

No wonder we keep getting shafted by the next naked emperor.
