You can influence the future by not supporting the business who have: 1) Taken ownership of the stadium that was built for us. 2) Bought our academy and are now pushing us out of that. 3) Are refusing to negotiate with CCFC on the pretence that the legal action in some way affects them. (Clue...

Just to add my tuppence to this. I'm a regular at Cov rugby and I'm not particularly happy that we're having anything at all to do with Wasps. Some fans will probably feel the same as me, and some won't. That isn't the players' fault though, so they'll get my support when they're on the...

They can rant - they're more than welcome to. I like a good rant myself. However I think it's fair enough to point out the level of actual information therein and to defend an article that makes a lot of sense to me. The OP might be smarter than Einstein for all I know, he's just not showing...

What was the point in calling someone "SISU Nick" then? If you don't want to cause trouble, then be a man, grow up and apologise. No one's going to unite behind someone who doesn't put their brain into gear before they post offensive rubbish like this. If you want to get fans together I think...

OK, so the OP here started off with the usual juvenile pun about the author's name, and then signally failed to identify where any of the article was factually wrong. He's so one eyed that he's completely missed Reid's criticism of SISU. It's an utter waste of time arguing with people like...

I think you've kind of answered your own question there. In fairness SISU must know that we want them out, they for whatever reason don't want to go. There's probably nothing served in a meeting on that basis - they're well aware of how the fans feel, they just don't much care...

Not, perhaps, my most lucid post ever. :) I am reminded of the magical Chris Cattlin quote, when he was manager of Brighton "There's a rat in the camp trying to throw a spanner into the works!".

Yep, sorry Otis, that's fair comment - didn't mean to bite your head off. I apologise. I don't mean to underplay it, I know exactly how I'd feel if one of these idiots scared my kids. My mum would just thump 'em, I suspect. ;) The point I was trying to make is that the media were fanning...

No Otis, you're missing the point entirely. What I'm saying is that this is an issue that has been largely manufactured by the press who created a 'craze' when there simply wasn't one. If you're f****d off about it, go and complain to the sodding morons who manufactured it - which includes...

There were six incidents in total reported across the UK when the CET tweeted and reported "Scary Clown Craze" the day before yesterday. They must be tremendously chuffed that the publicity is working and it's starting to catch on, as it'll save them having to spend money on actual reporting...

Exactly this Nick. The CET were calling it a 'craze' when there had been precisely six incidents in the UK. Six. They're trying to create some sort of moral panic in order to make money for themselves, classic Daily Mail bullshit. Any newspaper or 'journalist' who involved themselves in this...

Just to make the point, Sport England were also a statutory consultee for the Wasps application for building on the Higgs, which fundamentally makes the CCFC Academy unworkable in it's current format. You'll notice how easy they were satisfy there. I wouldn't bank on Sport England stopping...

I'm sorry but this is rubbish. Moving to Northampton damaged the club beyond any doubt. But we could have come back from that. There's no way we can ever own the Ricoh now though, or get anything out of it beyond Wasps want to give us. And anyone who things Wasps will act in Coventry City's...

You say something like, "OK, we're prepared to sell, you can have it for £6.5m.". Compare and contrast with what was actually said to CCFC, "We want to build trust before we discuss ownership". Next.

Don't know about whataboutery, but there's a sodding huge straw man here. I find it incredible that posters who are otherwise quite intelligent struggle to spot it. There is no one on this board who is pro SISU. It's completely bloody idiotic to suggest there is. Pointing out the obvious...

If only the council had made a firm offer to sell it for the £6.5m they sold it to Wasps. If only they'd have given it time to build trust when we came back from Northampton, like they promised they would. Didn't need hindsight to see what would happen when we sold to Wasps, it was absolutely...

And that, you see, is where we disagree. SISU have screwed the club over royally, but selling the Ricoh to Wasps has finished us. The academy and the Ryton are trivial issues by comparison. You can bitch all you'd like about SISU being crap owners, and they are, but one day they will go...

You've no need to respect my opinion SBK, no other bugger does. The point is that I'm not convinced that selling the training ground per se is a terrible idea. I think it's the fact that SISU are doing it that bugs people. If Wasps hadn't bought up the Higgs centre then there was at least a...

Absolutely right. Am I also allowed to be similarly sceptical about getting involved with owners who permanently moved their club 80+ miles in that case?

I lived directly opposite the Jules Verne in 1977 - I would've been twelve at the time. You used to keep me awake, you insensitive bastard. :) (Actually, you probably didn't, and in any case my old man used to park all of his old bangers over there so we got good value for it!)
