Positive for Nick as well when he sets up the New Wasps Forum
Key comments;
"Our whole business plan and vision is about generating footfall through this fantastic facility, to have 25 weekends a year with football fans in the bar and hotel etc, etc.”
They'll be taking the revenue for that, if not all then I'd expect a large percentage. Us being there suits them as it makes them money. If we didn't make them money there'd be no reason for us to be there. It harps back to the point Timmy has been banging on about access to all of the stadium revenue, without access to that how do we generate the money to comply with FPP, to build a stronger squad, attract more fans, win promotion etc..?
Be excellent if CCFC make some money from Wasps events.
Nice to have something positive for a change.
Expect the reply though 'We need our own stadium for the revenues etc. etc. blah, blah, blah..... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz'
Not wanting to be negative, but the day they have bought 50% of our home, they will quite rightly be making the right noises to try and smooth over the negativity.
They will of course want the club to be there to make them money. I can't see why they will want to give us access to the matchday revenue we need to compete as this is the exact same money they will be looking to make from us being there.
It's just spin,

Does that mean we have to stand outside Nick's house with a whistle, shouting?
I've come to the conclusion Stu that you are definitely Mr. Half Glass Full.
I'm the opposite. Always try and make the most of a bad job and though this is only one day in, this statement I find very encouraging.

I'd like to think they know about sport and how important revenue is. More so than ACL/CCC.
The better we do the more money they potentially make. So I'd like to think we'll get the match day revenue and in the long term more muppets like us fill the place and generate money in and around the stadium.
Then I gain the ability to fly and find £100 million and grow a second dick and buy a helicopter.
Edit: The helicopter is for when it rains
I wouldn't say I'm Half Glass Full, I am still very disappointed by the whole thing, I just don't get why the wasps would give us access to revenue. What's in it for them, other than making money from the club. Their other statements talk about them losing £3m per annum, that it can't continue or they will become insolvent and they need access to revenue to avoid this and compete in competitions. I don't get how giving ccfc access to revenue helps them, they may as well not have the club there at all.

Can't you shelter under your superfluous new appendage?
This certainly sounds very positive, grown up speak, the kind of thing we really want to hear. And at this stage I'm certainly prepared to accept what he says on face value. Wasps have a pretty clean record from what I've heard, so why should any of that change. This can be a new start for City's confidence and sense of belonging....if you choose to see it that way, and I do!
What's in it for them I would say would be that they want us here and probably need us here. They must know we need to prosper to stay here.
Simple as that I would guess. Need to give us sweetners to make it a fruitful relationship and an ongoing one at that.
Why would you accept at face value the comments of a CEO who has joined a club and moved them still further away from their roots, against the wishes of their fans?
Why would you accept at face value the comments of a CEO employed by an owner who said the unsurprising fact that "deally we believe that west London is a natural future home for London Wasps"?
Which then goes round to - if they give us access to revenue, they won't be making money from the revenue, then apart from rent they won't need our footfall there.
I hope I'm wrong, I just don't buy it at the minute. We've heard a lot of rhetoric over the last 10 years and it's mainly been bs.

Supporters will be spoilt for choice for bars, food outlets and areas to socialise on match day

The sort of people who watch Rugby will not want to drink in the Wheatsheaf. Will it be turned into a gastropub? Olives on the bar rather than ropey curry?Dear me. Didn't get any further than that. My sides.
Looks like they are building boozers then.
The Higgs Charity no longer makes small grants but concentrates on bigger schemes which benefit people of a Coventry as a by-product. This could be one and might be one." before a decision is taken on Wasps training facilities in Coventry and Warwickshire during the 2015/16 season."
Allard Way next?
Exactly, sounds like SISU mark 2. But SISU could have done this deal if they had conducted themselves properly and the Ricoh could have been for our benefit. Now we have to get in bed with a Sport franchise Rugby Club.
