Yes, Wasps have to make it work and for them having the football club as tenant is very important. A deal will be there for negotiation. Also if they are going to build this new fan base in the Midlands would you want to piss off 10000 to 20000 Coventry Football fans, not all but some are...

They could borrow players as suggested and that may be a short term benefit. Wasps will eventually start draining any talent from the area. It may ignite interest in rugby in the area, but how much that will boost Coventry's attendances? I think their fan base will be pretty static for now...

I always got the impression most people were anti protest in this country. :confused:

No, I don't think they are happy about it now at all. I am not happy at how much tax I have to pay, or the price of petrol or the road tax system. But there is only so much I can do about it. The fact I still pay for these things doesn't mean I am now happy about it. i hope I will enjoy lots...

Yes Business now dictates to our sports rather than just support them. There are many on here who have bumped their gums about franchise teams, MK Dons and Wasps. The reality is they are only doing it to win an argument over their SISU v CCC squable. They don't really care. If SISU were the...

The reality is Wasps have moved into the Ricoh a stadium built for CCFC. They have done the deal SISU should have done but messed it up by being too greedy. When they did the deal to move back to Coventry they persisted with the stance of further court action and we are going to build our own...

You obviously missed people talking about how their chairman addressed their own fans prior to a home game when the news really got in the media. They are not happy. But now they are here it makes sense to try and work out how they can perhaps work together rather than create an enemy. Anyway...

Otis, Thanks for the positivity, but even Fisher on the radio said he was sat next to the window of optimism (you aren't Tim are you). 10 I fear will go on forever. 5. This remains to be seen and it really will determine our future. the rest are positive you are right. But I just can't...

good on you...hope it is a good meeting and you all enjoy it.

I know it has been hard to find a united front and I am sure this will have its detractors. SISU, ACL. CCC and now Wasps Owners seem to be the villains. A week on Saturday Coventry rugby are at home to Richmond one of the top sides in tier 3 Rugby. A game Coventry RFC should be competitive in...

I could accept most of that Nick, except when it has come to SISU you have been quicker to defend them than it has took the Wasps to nest in the Ricoh under SISU's noses. I will add that I think the Pest Control Dept at the council are obviously shit also.

If you watch a game for entertainment you missed a treat on Saturday Coventry vs Wharfdale. A superb first half followed by A Wharfdale fight back. Tickets £15 or £11 concessions and deals. Don't be put off by Coventry RfC third tier status. Sport at its best is played on a level and...

Grendel will never let go, he hasn't got over Richardson, Thorn and a host of others yet...can't wait for him to realise what SISU have done, watch the shit hit the fan then.

I am totally against the transaction. I grew up supporting three teams Coventry City FC, Coventry RFC and Coventry Bees. I do not support franchising in sport. But I can see how this deal came about. I can see why it is attractive to Wasps. I can see why it is attractive to CCC.. It may not...

You may be right. But for someone who is paid a 100,000 a year in a marketing dept for Land Rover you didn't see the deal coming? You weren't spouting this stuff earlier today, so either someone has bent your ear or you are trying to kick up a dust storm? Yes you maybe tied to confidentially...

I think they are looking at trying to bring some fans with them, but primarily building a new fan base. Coventry have a large number of small Rugby Clubs in the City and the surrounding area. Most fans are loyal to local clubs on match days..Saturday. Wasps play on Sunday. Potentially they...

I think you are showing some naivety about top flight Rugby there.

Of course they have played a part. Just as previous owners and managers have. But SISU own the club and have done for seven years, they are primarily responsible for the way we have been run. There have been a catalogue of errors. They had plenty of opportunity to buy into the Ricoh and they...

They were given the heads up in the last few weeks, Joy "we won't interfere" and Tim "we are building our own" so the council only had one party to deal with. As I said on another thread, if they had bid on a par and been rejected there would be grounds for protest...they seemingly don't appear...
