not much, if no bugger turns up!
How much will be brought into the local economy with top level rugby?
Not denying SISU God awful tactics but The only think this proves is that the leaders at CCC Were ready to stich up SISU Like kippers.
What CCC should never have forgotten is that unfortunately SISU are CCFC. By stiching up SISU They've shafted CCFC.
Nonsense, how much is securing the Ricoh as a viable sports arena worth? How much will be brought into the local economy with top level rugby? Be pissed off that it's a franchise team, but let's not pretend this will be bad for the city as a whole.
Only people to blame here are the original anchor tenants who have taken their ball and fucked off and keep stating they don't want the smelly stadium anyway.
I suppose if Sisu do build the FisherBowl in Bedworth CCC should've kept waiting just in case they changed their minds and wanted to come home later?
Ridiculous.
Please outline and quantify where possible the benefits to the city of bringing in a rugby team.
CCC/ACL not at all responsible then!
Aw come on. A Premiership team playing in Europe, crammed with internationals and intent on growing more; bringing big European games to the city and you're asking what the potential benefit is?

You may not agree with the morality of it, but that's a preposterous line of attack

I think you are showing some naivety about top flight Rugby there.
Given their own fans don't want to go, and the people of Coventry have shown they disagree with the principle of teams moving places, it#'s not unreasonable to expect gates to be remarkably low...
“The revenue from these facilities, combined with Wasps existing revenues, will result in Wasps immediately becoming the highest turnover rugby club in the Aviva Premiership.”
THIS IS WHY-CCFC had to own their own stadium.
No playing Second bastard fiddle to egg chasers in our own backyard!
Too late for all of the anti-SISU brigade to realise what actual was going on all the time!
Both you and I don't know that.
What form do the benefits take? Why couldn't Wycombe's local authority see these benefits?Aw come on. A Premiership team playing in Europe, crammed with internationals and intent on growing more; bringing big European games to the city and you're asking what the potential benefit is?

A place a lot nearer the natural fan base.
Perhaps. I'm asking a straight question. What sort of benefits. Tangible ones directly related to Wasps moving here. Ones that might deliver thousands of new jobs as has been conflated by Ann Lucas.I think you are showing some naivety about top flight Rugby there.

I don't know a thing about Rugby so you could be right. However, given the circumstances and the distance then I don't see this setting the scene for Aviva Fever just yet.
I think they are looking at trying to bring some fans with them, but primarily building a new fan base. Coventry have a large number of small Rugby Clubs in the City and the surrounding area. Most fans are loyal to local clubs on match days..Saturday. Wasps play on Sunday. Potentially they can draw off Birmingham too. Worcester were getting fans from Wolverhampton when they were in top flight. My neighbour travels to Northampton, I know people who go to Leicester. rugby fans have already said to me they would go to see Wasps on a Sunday. Then look at the longer term kids aren't so bothered about tradition, they are impressed by the best teams. So a midlands based Wasps over time could be a lot healthier than they have been.
yes it is a gamble, but any business is.
Well it will create jobs, won't it. It's silly to state otherwise. Where did she promise 'thousands'?
Putting morality aside it's the logistics, isn't it? They have 2500 ST holders and gates of around 6000. How many do you think will travel up the extra 80 odd miles in December?
Not everyone is as pleased as you are.
Perhaps. I'm asking a straight question. What sort of benefits. Tangible ones directly related to Wasps moving here. Ones that might deliver thousands of new jobs as has been conflated by Ann Lucas.
I'm pleased am I? Where have I said that? You're awful quick to put words in people's mouths for someone who bleated so previously of anyone did the same with regards your Sixfields attendance
What sort? Extra shifts for the catering staff?
As I said before, bad for Cov by the looks of it, very bad for Wasps fans, maybe okay for the City, but very good for the local economy.Nonsense, how much is securing the Ricoh as a viable sports arena worth?

Did you not say you were looking forward to going?
The sisu-out-campaign?
The NOPM campaign?
All the ACL lovers?
All the CCC lovers?
No?
Hoffman?
Elliott?
No?
I give up then.
If you can't exercise sufficient lateral thinking to work through the benefits any significant national and European sporting events taking place in Coventry bring, then I'm wasting my time even responding to you. Its clear your myopic view, that history had proven so very sadly wrong has left you with no alternative than playing silly buggers
This.
Whatever the past CCC had a moral obligation to offer same deal to CCFC first.
One last thing before I ignore you too: the circumstances will probably mean that any significant...blah blah usual wordy shit...events will noy be attended in any numbers by the fans of the franchise because of the distance they have been moved on a permanent basis. So, who is going to go?
We're talking humans though and it will all soon be forgotten.Given their own fans don't want to go, and the people of Coventry have shown they disagree with the principle of teams moving places, it#'s not unreasonable to expect gates to be remarkably low...
I have no idea. You have Saints and Leicester both up the road and pulling on local 'big league' supporters already. Worcester non-too far away, who have invested locally in academies; so that's an issue.
But people will go - believe me - to watch England players and other internationals in Coventry. I very, very, very much prey it's not to the detriment to Coventry Rugby Club, the Lions and the Nuns. I have every interest in that regard. But that doesn't stop me knowing that people will turn up. They will
