Wasps Again (5 Viewers)

[CCFC54321]

What makes you think Wasps are disliked by the rugby world? can understand why they are disliked by a percentage of people in Coventry

Your underestimating wasps standing in the game my friend.

think we've already covered that if you look back a couple of posts

So when you finally get relegated and you finally go pop as let’s be honest your financial situation will catch up I hope you genuinely feel remorse and embarrassment for supporting such low life

How dare you move into this city and think you could boss the main football club around and expect no repercussions at all.

This city will finish Wasps and I’ll cry tears of joy. I detest your franchise and I along with thousands of proud coventrians will see you off.

The novelty is finally wearing off. If they are still around in a couple of years they will average under 10,000. Coventry folk don't like what they've done and at long last it's beginning to tell. Time is a great healer. It's also a great leveller.

Whilst I hate the insect fuckers, I think this whole episode was a little over the top. It was a thoughtless act but they were hardly taking a hammer to the bricks. It’s Happened and no damage done so let’s move on.

what it does show is that the relationship isn’t being mended and whilst I want us to move back to Coventry, Ricoh is looking less and less appealing

They're the mk dons of the rugby world. Fuck them and the ever dwindling number who sail in her.

For me at least, the bigger issue is the non-apology. All that really needed to be said was that although no damage was done it's accepted that it was rather thoughtless and won't be repeated.

Instead Wasps, not for the first time, have been made to look arrogant and inconsiderate (which is a view supported by their behaviour elsewhere, most notably, Henley).

Whether they like it or not, Wasps are now custodians of some very sensitive history regarding the city and the football team. Maybe someone in a position of power, like say the Council or the local media, needs to remind them of their responsibilities.

I heard on talksport (don’t judge) yesterday that they were considering scrapping relegation this season and allowing Newcastle in next year to make it a 13 team league. That would be typical if wasps finish bottom and they do that (although I personally don’t think either will happen)

If only we had a group of fan representatives that could stick up for our interests in a situation like this. Someone we can trust.

It was rejected as an option for next season - there are effectively 13 clubs as Newcastle have been given money from the share deal and will have to pay it back - there will be a relegated club this season

Weird competition, lose but still got 2 points ( I think).

Teams only get a bonus point if they score 4 tries, nothing if they lose and 4 points if they win. point each for draw.
Cov rugby are rattling up the bonus points this season. Strong possibility they could play Insects in the play off round for Promotion. Oh, what a joy that would be!!

There is no such thing as a play off round.

Wasps got 2 bonus points from their last loss, as far as I can see.

If you lose by less than 7 points, you also receive a bonus point

If only half the people whinging on here about them became active we would.

It’s doubtful, the trust doesn’t want change

“The trust” is a function of its active members. That’s how democratic institutions work. Democracy is won by those that turn up.

Problem is Monday at the squirrel isn’t as viable to many people. They need to move with the times and allow voting online etc

Here come the excuses. Why would anti-Wasps people have different schedules to pro-Wasps (if that’s what you want to call the divide)?

The fact is people can’t be arsed and would rather whinge on here. They should own that.

Yeah yeah the old "get involved if you don't like it"

How much is your Tory party membership or does changing an organisation whose aims you're fundamentally opposed to from the inside only work in football?

so only people who can get to Coventry on a Monday night can be a member. Not all fans live near cov.

you can’t even join the trust online. So clearly it is pretty dated.

Why don't they have their meetings before games? Surely 12 o'clock on a match day somewhere close to the ground is perfect for fans to attend.

Things could even be done over the internet. So people who cant make it can still listen in and ask questions.

They've been offered the help to do that. I think @Nick said he could do website stuff for them and didn't hear back. We know full well that the reason it isn't accessible is so they can keep their little clique in control.

Solid argument.

Still not explaining why competent people are more likely to be busy on a Monday and live outside Cov.

 

[David O'Day]

Well my mother always said honesty is the best policy.

You wet wipe

Who mentioned competent people. Im just stating to your repose about excuses that not all Coventry fans are from Coventry. So the trust needs to move in to the 21st century

 

[shmmeee]

Tories aren’t a democratic institution. I’d definitely join if it wouldn’t get me kicked out of my current party. Why not? They’re in power.

What’s your moral issue with a group representing Coventry fans exactly?

 

[David O'Day]

No one is saying that you rustler burger. They are saying it limits the amount of people as not everyone can make it to a shite city centre pub on a Monday night.

That’s nice. But it’s fuck all to do with the question at hand. Which is if so many people want the trust to go in a different direction where are they?
