It does say "attendance" not "sales"
Maybe HMRC should ask for the VAT on ticket sales for the claimed attendance.Why don’t they simply put down they have 33,000 every week and get the bullshit over and done with.
We all know the fabricated 19,000 gates are made up with free tickets plus free children. It’s simply trying to keep face and not publish the gates are dipping.
I’m sure the auditors will want them to declare ‘Paying customers’?

Accounts are one thing but in my experience a better indicator is what the club is signalling in terms of its activities. To that end we have a new training facility in the pipeline, we continue to sign high end players and we are investing in and around the stadium. For me, financially, there are more good signs than bad. I wouldn't get hung up on the accounts.
Lol, his favourite football team must be Leeds United
Yeah, the training facilities which still hasn't got as far as a planning application as far as I know?
Planning confirmed for 2 more years at Broadstreet. That should go down well with the players.
But on the Wasps forum they claim there can't be any issues at Wasps as they're about to move in to their new state of the art training groundPlanning confirmed for 2 more years at Broadstreet. That should go down well with the players.

If they use the CVC money for a training site then none of their debt will go. By the time the bond is due for repayment they'll already be over £80m in debt.This is the application form: https://planningportal.rugby.gov.uk/fastweb_upload/Planning Scanned Applications/R19-0415/ApplicationFormNoPersonalData.pdf
States they have had pre-discussions with Warwick District Council over the Leamington site and will submit the application later this year.
I think this might actually happen tbh, suspect the windfall from CVC will be used and that the new training ground will be combined with the Ricoh to try and secure the next bond.

If they keep making losses though there is going to become a point where cash flow becomes a problem. The debt might be secured but it's estimated up to half of Richardson personal money is invested into them, he can't fund losses forever.Yeah but the idea is that they're increasing their asset base. They'll value the training ground at £20m on top of the £60m for the Ricoh!
Valuing the Ricoh at £70m with a shitty rugby team as the only regular attraction. Makes senseYeah but the idea is that they're increasing their asset base. They'll value the training ground at £20m on top of the £60m for the Ricoh!

Premiership rugby agrees to sell minority stake to CVC Capital Partners | Daily Mail OnlineThe clubs voted unanimously to accept the new deal, however, with the funds raised earmarked for developing facilities and stadiums and expanding the competition into new markets rather than paying increasing players' wages.
They've been encouraged to use it for development but there is no requirement to.There are conditions to the CVC money.. so the development makes sense for them.

You may well be correct, I'm just pointing out that they don't have to do that which is what you implied. Not difficult to grasp.For heavens sake man, they clearly want a training facillity to stop player drain due to shitty Broad St porta kabins & have chosen to spend the dosh on Leamington.
Why are you chucking out spurious diversions when it is bloody obvious what they're doing, I'm not supporting them I'm merely pointing out my conclusion about their strategy, I believe I'm correct on this one.
and irrelevant.You may well be correct, I'm just pointing out that they don't have to do that which is what you implied. Not difficult to grasp.
Of course it’s relevant. If they have to spend it on infrastructure then they will. If they don’t they may well chose to spend to servicing debt. Again, not difficult.and irrelevant.

Yup and they'll refinance the bonds (someone with knowledge in this area can helpfully explain what this entails?) which they can do from next month it seems...Yeah but the idea is that they're increasing their asset base. They'll value the training ground at £20m on top of the £60m for the Ricoh!

"a spokesperson for the Wasps Group said: ‘As we have always said since launching the retail bond in May 2015, one of our options would be to re-finance the bond, which we are entitled to do any time between May 2019 and May 2022."
You want it back when......? Wasps likely to refinance 6.5% bond due 2022 - Retail Bond Expert
Please, never utter them two words in the same sentence again ever!!Coventry Wasps.
Until wasps go down this season and play against Coventry next season. Coventry vs Wasps. Wasps vs Coventry. It works fine.Please, never utter them two words in the same sentence again ever!!
Thank you.
I don't think they'll do it yet tbh, no idea what they'll have to offer interest rate wise based on the current abysmal financial performance.
That said, I do wonder whether Richardson or one of his companies is a significant bondholder
Coventry beat Wasps, Wasps lose to Coventry. That works even better.Until wasps go down this season and play against Coventry next season. Coventry vs Wasps. Wasps vs Coventry. It works fine.
