Doesn't the owner of the Daily Mail also have history with Cameron and it being published via his rag is viewed as to avenge that?

Honest question, as it's a point I've seen raised a couple of times but I've not seen the detail around it explained. If Wasps did leave and the ground end up under the control of SISU/Optium/CCFC, how could CCFC make it work if Wasps couldn't?

Yes.

So people are aware of the Rugby World Cup, as they were the Winter Olympics. The indication from the post the Japan comment was made to was that people aren't aware of the WC.

But to dismiss it is nonsensical. The original point stated was that Wasps attendance figures have peaked. The WC could bring in people who stick around after any initial increase. Not will, could. If this were the case, the peak would rise, not fall.

Some people don't see everything through sky blue tinted glasses. They'll never be as big as CCFC? Remind me again how big Sky Blues are again! Third division football and drawing in 11,000 fans from a city of 333,000 (edit) in somebody else's stadium.

Forget any World Cup boost? Why? Rugby fans don't watch that many games? Really!? How large was your research group? Pubs aren't full? Again, maybe not those you use but that's somewhat of a sweeping generalisation. Why would rugby want to be football? It's a totally different makeup...

I think the response to the Japan game proves that non-rugby fans are watching and fully aware of the WC. Why would them being in financial trouble mean they have to leave the city? Lots of sporting teams are in the red, but don't up sticks and move away.

He said - "Wasps are really at the peak of interest and fan base" - I said the World Cup could increase the numbers. If this did happen they haven't peaked as things stand today.

It's possible the Rugby World Cup could increase their attendance.

People have given it a go, liked what they've seen and gone back. As other people has posted the atmosphere at rugby games is different to that of football. Plus the entertainment and family atmosphere makes the experience one that just adds to this. CCFC are now replicating aspects...

Sorry, the point I was making about the 'history of clubs means little to a lot of people' was from the wide publics perspective and not those who are fans of a particular club, so the history of Coventry Rugby team wouldn't mean people would by default go and watch them over Wasps out of a...

Why should people have to watch Cov play? Whilst this has been mentioned before, and dismissed by some, the sense of the big occasion and family atmosphere (*reply incoming where a mate's mate's neighbour's work colleague was roughed up during a Wasps game!*) is what people are enjoying with...

But the issue is that though their actions SISU have become a bigger focal point than CCFC for those who follow local news, but don't bother with the sports section/back pages. Both the Telegraph and Observer have covered the SISU/ACL/Ricoh situation in great depth and whilst some would say...

If Wasps were to boot the club out or raise the rent so that it wasn't financially viable for the club to stay do you think the general population of Coventry would be particularly bothered? The blame game for current predicament CCFC find themselves in could be discussed until the cows come...

How far away is Sixfields again

Try from a computer/laptop fella

Who has said they can get away with things that others wouldn't?

And this brilliantly demonstrates exactly the point I was making. Go back and read my previous replies and then listen for the wwwwoooosssshhhhhhh!

No.
