According to Stephen Vaughan yesterday Wasps are one of the top spenders, close to but not at the cap.
Also Wasps now own the future training ground at Henley-in-Arden and will be moving-in for next season. They don't need planning permission for that. A planning application for building alterations has been submitted, but that will not stop it being used as the training base. The only thing stopping it being used already is the state of the pitches, which are being redone in time for next season.
Other things talked about were the problem getting part time bar/refreshment staff (especially over the Xmas period), the possibility of a ST only area, and the cost of opening the fan village.
It is likely the Worcester match will be a double header, with Wasps Ladies, there will also be a Wasps Legends event that day, but I missed some of that discussion as to what that would involve.
They are hoping to increase the number of double headers next season, but that will depend on the RFU allowing the fixtures to be on the same day - they even want, on at least one day, to have a triple header with Wasps Netball playing in the morning.
They are still in communication with CCFC, with members of that organisation routinely visiting the Ricoh.
The PA system is being looked at - one thing the PA people have said is that Pete Nuttall's voice doesn't match the current setup!!!!!!
