I think Dongo is being a little optimistic with the 20k attendances.
I was thinking more 4,000 or so once the novelty wears off with the few intrigued fans out there.
20k average. That's a good one.

Yes you said the funniest you heard all year.
That's his aim eventually
He said below ten k initially
Raising to ten k over time.
Eventually 20k with success.
It's strange he seems to draw a parallel to success increasing attendances.

I think it's time to buy a @WaspsRugby shirt. Very excited by the prospect of top level rugby in #Coventry.
For investingin my homecity and region I now support @WaspsRugby having never really followed Rugby before. I welcome them.

So if Tim fisher said his aim was to get 30,000 average you'd think differently - as he said it?
Christ.

Fishers last estimation was on crowds in Northampton. He did well didn't he :laugh:
Unfortunately his aim was 12 k initially
Any Cov chairman should be aiming for a 20k average.
However as we all know success on the pitch = an increase in attendances.
If a chairman told his fans they were committed long term to staying in the London area and then a year later moved 100 miles away would you believe anything he said again?
I spoke to four people at work today exited to watch wasps
They were brummies
They were all rugby fans
2 London Irish
1 Northampton
one supports no one just loves watching rugby
Very weird

ACL is the Leaseholder, which CCC owned 50% of, no confusion over leasehold or freehold there.
They wanted to protect their, yes, commercial interest in ACL, which they saw as a long term investment.
Two years down the line and they've flogged it off on a 250 year lease, for £2.77 million and Wasps repaying the loan.
Is that a long-term investment?
Even the shittiest hedge-funds seem to,unfortunately, hang on for longer than that.
I don't know I just know some smart arse will release a figure that the council cost Coventry by saying no.
It is likely to be 10's of millions and you would be the first to jump on your bandwagon and slaughter them for failing in their job
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha sorry funniest joke I've heard all yeah.

If they achieve their eventual target of 20000 fans then jobs will be created.
Also they are talking about building training facilities people have to build it and run it.
Jobs will be created of course it is impossible for me to say how many but they will.
Just like I would hazard a guess jobs would be list here and jobs created in another area when CCFC move
mindWhy would they get 20k?
I hope they struggle to get over 2k, they will be lucky to retain 5% of their current fan base with there move. They are heavily reliant on the local people of Coventry and the midlands supporting them, hopefully the sports fans of Coventry will take the same stance which they did with sixfields.
If we take our blinkers off ,do we really think they havn't looked at the demographic /socio economic groups they potentially can draw support from?

No. It's the same abysmal planning that saw a 32k stadium built in the first place.If we take our blinkers off ,do we really think they havn't looked at the demographic /socio economic groups they potentially can draw support from?
No, I don't think they have. I think they just they looked around and decided on the Ricoh because of circumstance here at the moment. If there was a similar situation in Yorkshire or anywhere else in the country they would have ended up there. A combination of SISU fucking up, Derek Richardson who sounds as immoral as Joy and a greedy council more than willing to sell out their local sports teams.
The perfect storm.
Sorry Dongo, the Saints fan wouldnt be exited to see wasps, I just dont buy that. Wasps are average at best, Saints are Champions. Why would he not go to watch his team in a full stadium with a great atmosphere, and instead watch a distinctively average team in a stadium about one fifth full, with no atmosphere?
Like I said once the novelty effect wears off, the new year will see attendances of 4,000 or so
I doubt they ever get out the care home
Again this response tells you all you need to know....
Grendal's debate formula....
If I have a point that wins the debate state it
If I don't change the subject to one where I do
If the person will not change
Abuse them call them a wum or belittle their point
Never ever admit that agreeing with SISU not paying the the going rate for ACL. encouraging them to follow the path they followed was the worse mistake and a massive cock up. Even though everyone knows I was wrong on this point, don't admit it and it will go away
From now on I name this approach to forum etiquette 'the Grendel'
I would say it is a high risk strategy at best.

Been on holiday so struggling to get up to speed on all this.
Seems to me that but for their stubborn hard-nosed approach to things...SISU could have actually got the prize they truly desired. Greed perhaps got the better of them?!
Despite the comments made about no offer for CCFC...I think it is pretty much inevitable that Wasps ownership will foster good relations & if CCFC get some momentum of success going - the offer will come. The Ricoh owners will make much more hand over fist profits with a successful football & rugby club than ever they are likely to with a successful rugby club & a football tenant.
Give it 4yrs...the bid will come - & that ownership will I believe cement CCFC in the City AT the Ricoh!
