We didn't play Saturday - but what a day! (1 Viewer)

[Irish Sky Blue]

Do 3k Wasps fans still travel up here? It shows an incredible loyalty to their club (something Wasps owner hasn't shown them) and also shows what a sporting club means to it's community if true. I know we, and probably all clubs, have fans who travel long distances to support the team. I think their average at Adams Park was 5k in their last season there. To be getting 60% of that total still coming up here four or five years later would be amazing. Are there stats for this?

And the 3,000 traditional London and Wycombe based Wasps fans who travel North every week

That number will reduce as investment in new players and winning performances continue to decline

If it was just three thousand traditional Wasps fans supporting them every game then they would be gone before we could say "Shmmeee loves the council".

An out of town rugby club made the established football club feel unwelcome in their own city and still some of our 'supporters' defend them. Fucking cretins.

Nail most firmly hit right on the head.

A lot of talk about Wasps going back to London, before they moved here they were getting crowds of 5/6000 at Adams Park, I don't think they have anything to move back there for.

I think its more likely they move 20miles west, which of course would be fine with me. Ironically I wouldn't rule out them becoming tenants of BCFC or alternatively getting their grubby mitts on the Alexandra stadium after the commonwealth games.

As much as I would like them to fuck off back to where they came from I can’t see that happening - they are too deep into The Ricoh and the financial bond issue etc etc
Even if they went bust they would probably reappear under another company set up.

Not sure where to post this... but this shows where the telegraph lie... and also this joke of a group who had a cosy up with Nick Eastwood, then became massively anti SISU!

Shows where the telegraph lie, what by asking genuine questions over a project that has yet to materialize?

Your strawman arguments don't hold up against the very real pressing questions - what is the long term plan for this club by SISU and when, if ever, will they achieve those plans? To my knowledge, SISU has not bought a single acre to build this new stadium. Construction of a new stadium is likely to take several years, for example the Ricoh took about 5 years to build.

For all the talk of wanting a new stadium, SISU don't seem to be in a hurry in building one.

 

[Tommo1993]

Doubt they’ll get anything out of “non blustering or misleading” Timmy, but at least they’re asking the club the right question I suppose. Another non-burner but the pressure does need to be there before the inevitable drop of SA crowds when fuck all is happening with new stadiums.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fucking hell, they ain't a group. 'Old man and kid ignored by Chairman' not such a good headline though.
