So he said we can sell merchandise in a mobile unit outside the ground for zero charge?
What about inside the stadium? Can we do that as well? If so where?
You can't just rock up in a retail van and sell merchandise, we'd almost certainly be charged through the roof.If we paid for the parking spaces why would they object? We wouldn't even be paying full price given that we'd get our share of them spaces revenue back and here's the rub, we might even sell some merchandise. It's all about the revenue you know.

Here is what the club had to say in response, so they have asked and they didn't get.
And we/you know this how? Have the club asked our landlord? Have you?
Asked for what exactly? Clearly a food kiosk is the only thing that has been ruled out so what have they asked for? Space in our old club shop? One of the old dingy office's back? Have they even suggested a mobile shop out front. At the Gillingham game didn't Sky/BT (don't recall who was filming on the day) have a whole fans interactive station set up from mobile units (more than one) outside the ground? Not even in the car park IIRC but on the block paving right outside the ground. You could almost go as far as to say that this area was designed for mobile merchandising. In fact now I think about it I've also seen this area being used for mobile retail units when I've been to see bands play at the Ricoh.

We don't know what they've asked for, we just know they have asked.
Reads like they have asked for a more permanent solution to me.
Sounds like a job for Sandra Garlick !
Surely we're not blaming Wasps for the state of our souvenier shop, it has been a joke of a shop for years and it wasn't Wasps who left the stadium for a year are people forgetting that. As for the excuse of a retail outlet at Gallagher Retail park it is a joke and the quality and quantity of what they are selling is an embarrassing to be honest.
In which case we know nothing. For all we know they could have asked Wasps if they fancy swapping their shiny new club shop for our car boot pasting tables in the foyer. That would be asking something wouldn't it. It's not a question worth asking but it would still be asking.
They asked for a more 'permanent space' and they didn't get, if that is how you wish to interpret then that is up to you.

500.00 for the whole tournament around Villa Park
We arent, from what i can see, only one person is
I'm not blaming Wasps for how crap the merchandising situation is, I'm just pointing out that those saying that we've just got to ask Wasps for stuff and we'll get it are talking rubbish.
If they can't even give us a bit of merchandising space, then how likely is it that they'll share their (far more important) revenue streams?
As long as its one in the eye for sisu that's good enough for Tony.
No, but they don't own the whole city. It depends where you set up. In the Euro Championship a lot of sellers who had licences for Wembley Way set up on pub car parks around Villa Park. One seller told me he paid 1000.00 pound per game at Wembley paid 500.00 for the whole tournament around Villa Park. He said he had made his money after the first game.
SISU just don't have any business imagination.

I can't think of anywhere that isn't either private land belonging to ACL or the shopping centre that would work for what you're talking about here. Unlike Wembley, there isn't a single route into the ground that all fans feed into. They could presumably put a temporary unit on ACL's car park - in effect a large van but it would need Wasps permission I'd guess.
Regardless, the club have asked for something permanent, and that doesn't seem to be forthcoming from Wasps.
It is the CCFC merchandising operation at last nights match
