Costs are cut until it is sustainable like we have done. Something Wasps refused to do at Adams Park which led to their move here, if it doesn't work out as they expected they may have to do the same.Funny you should say that.
So if a Rugby club can't be sustainable without a Football club, how does a Football club with About the same attendance figures survive without a Rugger club?
No players on the pitch either, Id guess before kick off.

Theres a lot more room for progress in football, the television and sponsorship deals in the premier league would dwarf that of Rugby premiership. As well as football will almost always attract better attendances than rugby as a whole
Expect the Leinster crowd to be about 30,000
Is that a European game?
Doubt it will be 30k but I don't really know much about Rugby, Wasps v Leinster considered a big fixture then?
I think I'm right in saying there's only a guarantee of 11 Wasps home games a year. If attendances do drop and in the future they don't qualify for Europe then things don't look quite so good I wouldn't have thought.
might have been an idea to do a double header at the Ricoh but again hard to know how that
would be received or achievable
Doesn't look 15k tbh, wonder how many free tickets/season tickets went unused but were still counted

Yeah good point ,like that sixfields thread last year .
To those who went, how does it feel being able to have a drink in sight of the playing area? I know that as a knuckle dragging football fan it's not legal for me to do it but it sounds nice.
Today's attendance was just short of 3x that of the same fixture last season (5,500). It should be the 2nd lowest at the Ricoh this season, expect the Cardiff LV (Anglo-Welsh) Cup match to be lucky to hit 10,000. So today was very much a good thing.
The Leinster match should sell out, as you'd expect a Champions League match vs Real Madrid to do so, that's a reasonable comparison. Always plenty of travelling Irish support.
The Leicester match should also sell out at the end of the season.
Harlequins, Gloucester and Saracens should all have 15,000+ crowds, not sure about Exeter though. It is a long way away, but we were originally meant to be playing that fixture at Twickenham where 50,000+ was realistically expected like last season.

Last week the only place I could get 6 seats together for the Leinster match was in the south stand
Not true checked could get 3 or 4 together in all the others

Winning and exciting performances help sell tickets, that even used to work at Adams Park (with its small capacity, poor access and lack of facilities etc) . Let's see how it goes shall we?
Sorry you are right row ss or tt did not fancy that I apologise though for my error
Get yourself down the Butts next Saturday Kiddo !!
If (and it's a big if) we can beat Harlequins away, and Leinster (based in Dublin, and previous European champions multiple times) beat Castres in Round 5 as they surely will, then Wasps v Leinster becomes a winner-take-all game to qualify for the knockout stage. In that scenario, there will be hordes of Irishmen descending on Coventry, and the stadium catering, currently abysmal, will need to get their act together to cope with the demand for pints of Guinness before, during, and after the game.... Not sure Leinster will be a sell out, if the first game wasn't with the number of free tickets knocking about I'm not sure anything will. Leinster might be big in the rugby world but I think most people locally would just think you've spelt Leicester wrong. But doesn't that show a flaw in the Wasps plan in that it requires continued European qualification to increase the total number of games and games with bigger attendances. We've filled the ground on more than one occasion but its not really an indication of week in week out attendances.
