"I never want a Cayman Islands hedge fund owning the lease for the arena, would you trust them with it?"Bit of a poor response that I think - its not great that a professional rugby club that has existed here for over 100 years was not considered when Wasps were granted permission to play here. I get the impression they are heading rapidly back to when they were at Wycombe with little local support and struggling to attract interest - of course the problem is a separate organisation I assume based in Malta ultimately owns the lease.
There will I am sure also be a fee escalation if CCFC get promoted and more benefits to the company owning the lease which in turn can support the London rugby clubs finances at the expense of the local club that has been here for a century. Its not a great look really.
Why? Ccfc have every chance in 2-3 years of fulfilling that roleI'd say there's an appetite for Champions League football in Coventry. Perhaps someone should look at parachuting in a club?
You heard Ann Lucas if ccc thought this would negatively impact ccfc or crfc they would never have agreed to it.

It effectively puts a glass ceiling over us unless we actually build a new stadium - them being here will have a long-term detrimental effect on CCFC.You heard Ann Lucas if ccc thought this would negatively impact ccfc or crfc they would never have agreed to it. Sorry let me just stop laughing!!!!
Wasps are here we have to live with that. The effect on crfc is worse than on ccfc I think

The council have bent over backwards to help Wasp out though, wasn't there a grant given to councils last year to help out, they spent it on the Ricoh entrance with extra units and flower beds, meaning more income for Wasp, not once were CRFC given a slice especially with them trying to upgrade The Butts. Derek Richardson must know his project is failing massively, what he does about it will be the thing!You heard Ann Lucas if ccc thought this would negatively impact ccfc or crfc they would never have agreed to it.

Could he not invest in the football club if/when Wasp move on again?it depends if Derek Richardson actually has some real attachment to the Wasps project - if he does then he can make any ccfc success limited by the terms and conditions he sets as a landlord

If we did miraculously get promoted wouldn’t it mean extra income to his holding company not to Waspswhy on earth would he?
Wasps Rugby Club is failing surely, not his holding company.the Richardson project may not be failing if it’s property and development he’s interested in

Well the 250 year lease at the butts may suggest otherwiseThe council have bent over backwards to help Wasp out though, wasn't there a grant given to councils last year to help out, they spent it on the Ricoh entrance with extra units and flower beds, meaning more income for Wasp, not once were CRFC given a slice especially with them trying to upgrade The Butts.

I imagine today will be one of their highest attendances of the season. Big "local" derby & given away thousands judging by social media comments to various local schools, clubs & to NHS staff etc.
How many?
Seen more at a family bbq. The novelty really has worn off for the fickle Coventry public hasn't it.Judge for yourself

Seems it’s Emergency Services Day aka an excuse to give thousands of free tickets away.11,423 attendance apparently. Appalling for their biggest game of the season!
I bet only about half of those paid too.
Not sure that's worked as well as they'd have been hoping.They also seem to have bundled entry to this with free entry to a women's game.
I wonder how many they take to away matches
Premiership club Wasps ask rugby bosses for 'headdress' steer for Exeter Chiefs game - BBC Sport
Wasps ask rugby authorities to rule on the acceptability of fans' Native American headdresses ahead of the visit of Exeter Chiefs.www.bbc.com
Interesting.
Going the same way as the (ex) Washington Redskins??
Haven't they just passed the buck? Article says "we will not be issuing an arena wide ban on the wearing of faux Native American attire" and they've asked the RFU to make the decision for them.Fair play to the London cunts for that though

One of their more local derbies too , not a great look
Looks pretty empty to me

Eventually they will be gone I feel .
