It's certainly better than it was but is it good enough for us to be competitive. Other clubs get 100% of matchday revenue and non matchday revenue. We need to compete against them. Of course you can ignore some of the revenues as most grounds don't have all the facilities the Ricoh has but I don't see any chance of Wasps offering us access to the kind of revenues we need to be anywhere close to a level playing field with other clubs.
And that's before you even consider that some of those other clubs, who have access to more revenue than us, are still losing millions and being propped up by their owners. While Fisher talks a lot of rubbish I think he is right to say that with the sort of deal, even in a best case scenario, we will get from Wasps we are looking at top end L1, bottom end Championship.
I'd say a candid discussion with Wasps would soon find if any common ground existed. If CCFC move from the Ricoh, then there's no rental or match-day incomes to argue over. As such, rather than run the risk of losing this income; Wasps could be susceptible to a deal including revenues, or revenue sharing for football-related fare.
If I were Fisher; by now, I'd have started that dialogue. Then either two things happen. A deal is agreed and the club is in a better place. Or Wasps refuse, at which point we have a stance we can all debate. Personally, I think it would be poor of Wasps not to revenue share with their tenant. But it would be out there for us to consider.
Alas, I fear nothing is happening - yet again. When will SISU learn that discussions are so much better than litigation or a stand-off - as that appears to be where they are
