Having seen the at the Godiva I'm not sure youcan pin the poor sales on the venue!
Sure but it loses money as most of the events are fairly small beer. They struggle to sell it out for bigger events - had to cancel Bananarama a while back due to lack of sales.

Too late, Torch got there first mateit's been a cruel summer for Wasps
If Wasps need to be relegated then so be it – there can be no exceptions
The Premiership rules were agreed by everybody – equally big clubs have survived suffering relegation and not complainedwww.telegraph.co.uk
I know, i only saw it after I'd posted. In fairness to torch he was really saying something I agreed withToo late, Torch got there first mate
Wasps are seen amongst the RU circles as don’t laugh the glamour club, the Man United of rugby so don’t be surprised if rules are bent a bit.“Former Wasps claim it is not in rugby’s interests for Wasps to be relegated, given their contribution to rugby, even going as far as to claim it is one of the world’s leading brands.
Sorry, but the rules were agreed by everybody; equally big clubs have survived suffering relegation and not complained. There is a reason this sort of deal is proposed – they get the assets cheaper and leave a lot of little people out of pocket.
No club can claim to have contributed so much that it is a special case. Would Wasps supporters back a similar call if it came from Quins who, despite winning nowhere near as much, are very much the equal of Wasps when it comes to rugby brands?”
Yeah he thought he was really saying somethingToo late, Torch got there first mate
That's the same reporter who has somehow managed to find out about two separate bids. Someone at Wasps leaking BS to try and drum up some interest?
It would be refreshing if all parties simply sat down together and said right, everyone involved has been responsible for fucking this situation right up, let's try and find the least-worst solution all round. Something like;
1 - Wasps give up the ownership of the stadium in exchange for circa £15-£20m from CCFC/Sisu.
2 - Council agree freehold to be transferred to CCFC, not its owner, on 999 year lease that can't be re-sold beyond the football club
3 - Wasps use the money from step 1 to pay off tax and bondholders (who have to take a big haircut)
4 - Wasps then leave Ricoh and play as tenants in a more heartland location e.g. MK Dons.
From this
1 - Wasps get out of the money pit that is Coventry/Ricoh and back to their own fans
2 - Creditors get some money back if not all
3 - Council get to leave the whole situation behind
4 - CCFC gets to make a go of the Ricoh as originally intended
5 - Sisu can choose to either make a go of the project or sell club and stadium together and also walk away.
Maybe I am being far too naive but then again that's the story of my life.

That NEC thing would be a disaster for us… I’d rather still be tenants to wasps, at least they need us
Because I feel like NEC wouldn’t bother dealing with SISUs shit in 7 years time.Why? You can only have stadium events during the summer months.
Unless they are planning to put a roof on the place and turn it into a super arena for big boxing fights etc.

This would be the sort of stadium owner that it should be. They don't need to own Wasps or CCFC to do it. Both clubs are tied to the stadium with leases, why take on the sporting losses ?
Again it depends on what shit SISU come up with.So they'd buy a multipurpose arena with the bulk of the place being empty?
Or, they could have a Championship football club playing every fortnight with crowds of 20,000?
Again it depends on what shit SISU come up with.
they Could treble our rent, could still have Wasps leasing.
There’s also no guarentee we’ll be a championship club
