Title: CBS half year results
Post by: Shugs on August 02, 2022, 10:03:26 PM: First half of 2022 sees a huge profit rise for CBS as they record six month profits of £158m. Stadium sponsorship is obviously suiting them!

Forgive my stupidity, but how does record profits for the arena's sponsor suggest anything at all regarding Wasps, be it good, bad, or indifferent? (Unless I'm misunderstanding the point of your post, which is a distinct possibility!)

I was just a little bewildered by James's enthusiasm, is all ;D

I half read the title and assumed CBS = CBS Arena, hence my enthusiasm. I still think this benefits Wasps (albeit indirectly).
