So do you agree then that Wasps playing in Coventry will not affect CRFC?

The closest viable site is the Ricoh, unless that is proved otherwise. Nuneaton is a different town with its own team. Yes it is part of the Coventry sphere of influence, but it isn't Coventry. Brighton play in Brighton. As for the other two, Coventry is a proud and ancient city. If CCFC wish...

But we're talking about the moral argument here aren't we? That being the case distance is immaterial. Something is either wrong or it isn't. It cant be less wrong to franchise to one place over another. At what distance does franchising become wrong?

No I think Sisu would be moving us 3 miles away because their incompetence has resulted in no other option for them. If they are to be believed they need an asset to sell. They wont give a shit whether the asset is good for the long term potential support of the club. The view will be that as...

You don't think CCFC playing in Nuneaton will impact on Nuneaton Town? That's the whole point. With franchising the distance is immaterial. Its the damage it does to the club already in the area that is one of the main concerns. Why should Nuneaton Town suffer because Sisu wrecked our club?

In fairness no one, as it hasn't been mentioned before. Yours was probably the wrong post to reply to with it :facepalm: This does seem to have been forgotten about, it does seem to highlight though (very close to home) how rugby differs to football, and therefore we shouldn't expect a...

Hypocrisy is also defending the poor innocent Coventry Rugby Club when 15 years ago they were planning this: http://www.espn.co.uk/scrum/rugby/story/28943.html http://www.cwn.org.uk/sport/rugby/coventry-rfc/1999/10/991004-bedford.htm

IF being the key word. I would expect the club to choose whichever option made the most economic sense. For me it is a no brainer, getting a good deal at the Ricoh will cost far less than a tin pot ground in Nuneaton. If Mr Fisher wishes to produce figures that show the opposite to this, then...

Hypocrisy would be for him to pretend he cares as much about Wasps fans as he does about City fans. A hypocrisy seen all too often on this website.

Because CCFC has no choice?

I would expect a Coventry City Supporters Trust board member to care more about Coventry City FC than Wasps RFC. Wouldn't you?

So what is your issue with the trusts handling of Wasps? Are you on about the post where he claims that those who have no issue with CCFC relocating to Nuneaton are selfish? If so I don't necessarily agree with that, I just think fans who are outraged for the Wasps London based supporters, but...

So in the interests of balance and professionalism, you have no issue with the trust praising Wasps when they do something good/right?

Same logic as when a trust member offers his personal opinion that is automatically taken as trust official policy.

Complaints on here about trust members saying the wasps game was more enjoyable than Fleetwood. I've had more exciting trips to the opticians than Saturdays game, so unless they are expected to lie wasps was obviously more exciting. As for the fellas at the trust being blinded with hate for...

Sixfielders weren't that bad torch.

No I mean people so blinded with hate and bitterness, that if someone attended a good sporting event they are expected to lie and say it was crap. Seriously, its like something out of a primary school playground.

Apologies for my lateness, some of us have work to do.

Spot on article. No good blaming others when sisu repeatedly turned down the opportunity to own the Ricoh. They are to blame, and now they must tell us what they are going to do to sort out the mess they've created. As for enjoying the Wasps game, from what I hear it was a good game with a...

John Mutton made the hell freezing over remark.
