Title: Nick Eastwood talks about things
Post by: NellyWellyWaspy on May 08, 2017, 01:02:40 PM
Before the match Nick was interviewed on some more nebulous topics:

Seats. No change. Would cost too much, not necessary, better things to do with his money, i.e. years away.
The bond. Was the only option at the time. Things (attendances and lots of other stuff) have gone much better than predicted, so looking good.
Naming rights. More than one sponsor in discussions, some more advanced than others. But nothing soon. Still within the plan. Seems to suggest certainly not next season, nor maybe the next.
CCFC. He is willing to talk, but nobody has approached Wasps. Wants CCFC to stay.

Looks like he is keen to get on and develop non-rugby stuff, which was always essential to the plan anyway.

Thanks NWW, let's hope the next set of books meets all the requirements of the bond then.  Interesting to hear that the naming rights still aren't coming about.  No surprise about CCFC, they're probably waiting to see if they can get a sale.

Seat colour is irrelevant.  If there are 30,000+ bums on them, like on Saturday, then you can't tell what colour they are anyway!!!!

According to the mediator, Wasps have been approached

However from reading the article it doesn't sound like he knows who was approached at Wasps!

Or even where Wasps were, or how they were approached. I mean, wouldn't you have a copy of the letter?
