I know exactly what you mean. One of the reasons I've been so mad about this was I had a really good time at Scunny (result apart) and for the first time in what feels like a very long time talked only about football, formations, the team, the game and it was brilliant - then within 48 hours...

Most people (on here and elsewhere) seem to be opposed to the wasps/consortium idea (based on current info) and it's very difficult to see how it wouldn't harm ccfc and cov rfc. sisu's interest is their own financial gain not the team and fans, and I wouldn't trust them with even part ownership...

Another excellent piece by Andy Turner

Good, I was puzzled why there was disagreement when everyone seemed to be agreeing! The only issue, here and on FB, seems to be the argument Italia has just made. I can see entirely why the kind of acl-wasps plan as described in the CT would be for good for acl. But my concern is arguing for...

I'm not sure where the disagreement is coming on this. To be 100% clear, would it be fair to say: the acl-wasps plan as presented in the Cov Tel, if true, is one we disagree with. Through the CT publishing the story, Cov RFC, CCFC fans and Wasps fans have made clear their opposition to the plan...

So what's your take on acl-wasps then, G?

kcic mailout 21.9.14 With us back at the Ricoh, acl-sisu should be saying 'The Ricoh is the home of CCFC and there will be no more talk of a new stadium or a new anchor tenant. acl-sisu will work together to build a successful CCFC which will benefit all parties'. But instead... sisu are...

I heard the statement - I didn't hear Richard Moon on cwr. Think you misread the post

The pre match statement was totally clear.

An announcement was made pre kick off at the Butts yesterday. Cov RFC have no problem with Wasps playing occasional games at the Ricoh but that's it. "There's only one rugby club in Coventry" got rousing applause. I didn't hear it myself but someone at the game told me Richard Moon said on...

Any chance we can get this thread back on track? When I was a kid in the early 70s Cov rfc was the best side in the country and CCFC after the Sky Blues revolution of the 60s was in the top flight, made it into Europe etc. The City had the most skilled engineering workforce in the world. Look...

One thing is certain - I won't be involved because I've done my bit and it's now up to others. The Trust is the only fans' group now in existence and with fans more united than in a long time the Trust is in a position to use this as an opportunity to make clear its aims and strategy and get...

I very definitely did not in any way mean to 'question your loyalty' but if there is anything I have said that suggests that then I unreservedly apologise because my posts have not meant anything like that whatsoever. I suspect where we disagree is on the extent and limits of fan influence. As...

That sets out acl's perspective which I understand, just as you rightly identified a long time before most people that sisu were trying to distress acl and I understood what sisu were trying to do with the rent strike and moving to ntfc. The point is I'm a fan and what I want is the interests of...

Torch, are you ok? The way I read this thread is there is 100% opposition to the wasps idea and it's a real opportunity for some fan unity and to move on

The common thread is that we're in the hands of two companies whose interest is their own profit not the team and fans. So whether it's moving to ntfc or bringing in a new anchor tenant, it's about company profits not what is best for the team and fans. The only people who are going to fight...

I know my answer but you're probably as sick of hearing it as I am of repeating it! You're a City fan so I'd say forget for a minute what all the other parties want and think solely as a fan and decide what your vision for a successful ccfc is. You then work towards that as a long term goal and...

The arguments between City fans, sisu and FL being London based, sisu refusing to engage in any rational discussion, arguments about whether to use the hill as a protest/pack out sixfields/ etc etc all made the sixfields campaign really difficult. Campaigning in Coventry with fans united, being...

Plenty of people said nothing could be done about the ntfc move and fans had to choose between doing nothing or campaigning against it, which in the end succeeded. Exactly the same choice here - we can do nothing (or even worse, just bicker among ourselves) or we can send a clear message to...

So let's do something about it. acl-sisu successfully created division among fans over sixfields so let's not repeat that and instead be united as fans in saying we are 100% opposed to the acl-wasps idea and we want acl-ccc to drop it. It was fans who created the pressure for the ricoh return...
