i can't speak for Leicester but I get regular emails with offers from Saints (having bought 2 tickets for my son 2 years ago) ... Not sure about freebies but they certainly send lots of offer mails. What could be overlooked is that 1000 free tickets doesn't stop anyone else buying one (because of the size of the ground) and might translate into 500 pints of beer, food, couple of hotel rooms, bit of money spent in the casino, a few tickets sold for the next game, a couple of season tickets etc etc etc .... So in reality 1000 free tickets converts to income it doesn't necessarily mean the franchise is not happy with its fan base.
fair enough .... That's your opinion .... I still wouldn't call it a poor turnout though.... And wouldn't agree that casual fans would go to Tigers or Saints, the reality is neither of us know that. Saints haven't filled their ground for any home European game, so not sure where your logic is ? Perhaps they have a lot of floating fans in Milton Keynes. Where did Eastwood say that Wasps are are the biggest rugby team in the world ? I've not read that ! any links ? Id be interested to read.. The reality is that what really matters to a franchise is income and I'd take a good guess that the Wasps franchise have a bigger turnover than Tigers or Saints from tickets, beer, food, hospitality, casino, hotel and renting to CCFC. So I suppose it depends on what's important to the franchise, money or a few extra bums on seats.
So wasps (holdings) own the hotel and make money from its rooms? Really?
How many season tickets have been sold?
The same argument is relevant to ACL ltd prior to wasps except they went belly up despite CCFC handing over £1.2 million rent more than they do to wasps.
Are you saying the pie money is sufficient as that's the only difference to the council run ACL is it not?

Biggest/Richest, same shit whichever way it pours out of Eastwoods mouth. I am sure it will be up your street.

It was a poor turnout, compared to the previous season, and lets not try to pretend that Leinster brought thousands to Coventry the year before.
Saints average attendances are nearly always close to full houses, consistent regular attendances with little deviation, and not with a whiff of the the freebies that Wasps dish out. Dont try and dress it up that you get some offers from Saints, as being a Saints fan, I also get some deals, not many and certainly not the desperate freebies that wasps dish out.
Re the Euro games, all were evening/night games or on TV so this does have a small effect on whether it was a full house or not, but lets face it they were close, so dont try to pretend otherwise, so I am not really sure what the logic of you pretending otherwise is.
You sound very much in the Eastwood line of thinking cash is king, so I suppose you must be in Rugby heaven, plenty of free seats and space bewteen fans, and a nice balance sheet to try to pay off those damned bonds. I think a few more bums on seats, and pies need to be sold to cover that. They may have slightly higher turnover but also a mountain more of debt, I enjoy watching Wasps drowning in it.

So he didn't say that Wasps are the biggest club in the world or even the biggest club in Coventry ?
176 pages wasted ?
not sure why anyone is giving him the time of day
Biggest and and richest financially are two completely different things ..... Perhaps they will be the richest ? .... How do you know they won't be ? All because in your view they had a poor attendance on Saturday .... A little naive if you don't mind me saying. Like me you clearly know very little about running a rugby franchise but make sweeping assumptions to suit your argument.
Italia also in full wasps PR mode...
Nick, for the love of god, get rid of these Wasps tossers.

Which is a lot better than Wasps denial mode.
Who's in denial. We all know they are here and own the stadium, you can't miss the signage.

The denial is that they will still be here in 10 years and we won't have to work with them.
So you admit you are part of their PR machine.
If you and your ilk didn't put money in their pockets, they'd be gone way within 10 years.The denial is that they will still be here in 10 years and we won't have to work with them.
I am not in denial. Its my predication.
At least I have the good grace to admit I may be wrong, rather than just repeating the same old diatribe. Whats your arguement to the contrary?

This is a Wasps slagging thread. Move on if you don't like corrections..
Corrections like what? Seems like their fans / pr / whoever it is are being educated that they don't run the Casino or hotel.
Sweeping assumptions like your goodself.
Perhaps if you bothered to read all my posts on this subject, which you clearly havent, you would know that I have been raising the points all season about the attendances, not just one game, and future fixtures. Perhaps you should check them out before naiveley lecturing me on something you clearly havent got all the facts about.
I dont know anythoing about running a franchise, but I do know about running a buisness, perhaps you dont, and I suspect all isnt as rosy as it seems.
Nick, for the love of god, get rid of these Wasps tossers.

I'm done trying to persuade people and debate the situation but please don't anyone try and shove there Wasps pr crap down the throats of people on a CCFC forum. Anyone trying to do so should have there posts deleted.
I've double checked and its Wasps PR crap.is it Wasps PR crap ? Or is it just that you don't like what you read ... Big difference !

Nick, can you delete this sub forum please. Its out lived its use now. Also means Italia, SkyBlueTony and the other Wasps fan will stop visiting this forum which is a bonus.

No you are right I havent read your posts so apologies ..... But they are not facts they are your opinion whatever you have posted.
13 months of up and down attendance figures are a meaningless way of judging whether a business/franchise is going to succeed .... 24,000 in December, 16,000 in January ..... What does that actually mean ? In the long term it means nothing either way.
I'm with CCFC mate. Get rid of this poxy sub forum. Wasps can fuck off.You have signed up and only posted on this, onto a CCFC forum. I'd say theres a bit of a motive to signup. Italia loves a bit of Wasps PR but at least he is a city fan also.
If you have no interest in CCFC, then why signup here?
