What was the attendance on Sat?
12,392
How does that affect the current situation in view that we had a 1000 less against Scunthorpe ?
I was offered discounted tickets today through my old universityI got offered 6 tickets at work on Friday. Thanks but no thanks.

The fact that they pay players 10 x what we currently do should be a huge concern. 12k gates will lead them back to the huge debts that nearly put them out of business.
When they nearly went bust they never had access to lot of other incomes to compensate.
That's the point of taking over the Ricoh.
The wages is a valid point but considering a top player like Cipriani is coming here on a salary of £300K a year and Rooney is on that every week it's almost insignificant. In that respect the mountain we have to climb to get their becomes apparent. Even with the Ricoh we would need a sugar daddy.
The Rugby PL is capped at £7M per team for players wages so it's all on a level playing field here in England and should stop clubs spending above their means.
So surely we need access to them?
Or is it back to Other revenues don't matter if it is CCFC and they should just rent etc etc.
The fact we would need a sugar daddy even if we had the Ricoh, shows the trouble in competing we have.
You just don't listen do you ?
I've never said they don't matter.
I said that from where we are what is best for us.? A new stadium or a rental agreement with Wasps?
For some reason you seem to follow Sisu thinking that with a new stadium we will be better off because of all the revenues, yet never ask Sisu to prove it.
Have you proved it will be better to rent then?
The Rooney vs Cipriani wages comparable is a bit skewed as the money in football, especially from TV revenue, far surpasses that in Rugby, hence football wages are incomparable.
Re the PL wage cap, I noted a lot of Wasps fans were bitching on the Wasps forum that Saracens were cheats and are breaking the wage cap when Sarries beat them earlier in the season, and yet now after wasps gain revenge, not a peep. Incredible.
A new stadium or a rental agreement with Wasps?
Why are you asking me ? Ask Tim Fisher for the figures when you next see him instead nodding along with him.
All I can do is apply a bit of common sense until Sisu are pushed on this or move on.
So you're saying rather than a new stadium Wasps should have stayed renting off Wycombe?
Or are you saying if SISU find an empty stadium 100 miles away we should move?
:thinking about:
I've never met the bloke.
So if you don't know the figures, how can you keep pushing to stay at the Ricoh long term?
No I'm saying what is the best option financially for us.
In Wasps case they had another option, an option that will never be available to us.
As I said ............. common sense.
We will never know what we can get out of Wasps on this until we stop the court cases.
So we don't know what Wasps can offer either then?
If I was them I'd maximise the incomes from us, put us out of business and buy us on the cheap.

Although after all that they have taken up the option on a new 2 deal at the same peppercorn rent as the first one, with access to incomes.
In addition they have replaced the pitch for us when clearly they seem to play better on a 4G pitch.
When they nearly went bust they never had access to lot of other incomes to compensate.
That's the point of taking over the Ricoh.
How do you know that will not be available to us? Lets say Bolton go out of business should we move there next season if it was the best option financially?
They haven't replaced the pitch "for us" have they?
Give the propaganda a rest.[/QUOTE
To be honest the pitch for rugby could be a ploughed field, similar to when they arrived.
If we were not there it could have been 4G. So in theory it's grass because of the football.
I thought it was because they had nowhere to play and were nomads?
It's a waste of time, he won't bother answering.
They had use of Adams Park so I don't know what you are on about.
They obviously looked at it financially and made the decision to move.
They haven't replaced the pitch "for us" have they?

Nick. This is 150 pages more boring than the last thread you shut for being boring. Isn't it past time you shut it down?
