The 92% figure is not true. This article states 68% in reference to the same game - a game when there was a huge novelty factor and inevitably a large turn out of local curtain-twitchers...

At least some people are trying to have a go back on the CT. Like the one below - cue red thumbs all over the shop: I see the unofficial (or is it official) band of Wasps sycophants are out in force again - funny how the only place you ever encounter them is on here. Not met one in the real...

No, it was CV & B post codes - an area of over 2.5 million people. And that was only one particular game. When they get their bog standard league gate of 9K-14K I imagine there are a fair chunk from London. Judging by the yellow and black shirts piling off the train from Euston there must be.

Somebody I spoke to earlier said we went through the 5K mark this morning. About on schedule for 6K by August at a guess. Sales will slow notably now but usually pick up again as season approaches.

Actullay think Villa have done it once or twice too.

It's like an episode of Scooby Do on here - people inventing mysteries when there are none. How can they commit to BPA when feasibility studies are still on-going? They have already said this was leaked to the media way before they wanted it to. All they have said since is that there is...

That's mostly rubbish I'm afraid and I'm not really sure what your point is. The 3 most effective and visible protests to have taken place were the two marches and the Arsenal protest. How much anti-council sentiment was displayed then? None. Were you complaining about that then? I doubt...

It is a possibility. You have a startling lack of imagination. You do realise it already has planning permission for 13,000 don't you? You do you know the FL have approved it and are open to the idea of rack seating or safe standing? You do know that architects have already confirmed that a...

There was a deal. September 2012. A price was agreed between Higgs and SISU. Why Higgs pulled out at the last minute nobody knows for sure.

It is frustrating. There are so many people I know who care about the club - but not quite enough to actually support them in person regularly. The first thing I talk about on Monday morning at work is the football club - I'll spend the first half hour talking about the city. Pretty much...

Correct, my wife works with her.

It's a horrible place full of knuckle-draggers. This is pretty standard for a comments sections on a news site - but some of the stuff on their is very questionable. It is so damaging also because it gives a very warped impression. I tried posting there many times - but you are fighting a...

I wonder if he has the same hostility to all those local rugby fans who were so desperate to watch the game they follow that they turned out in their thousands when London Wasps showed up, having completely ignored their own local rugby for decades.

They wouldn't be going to 'protest'; they would be going to watch the game, cheer on the local rugby club and show some solidarity. Where have you been? Both clubs have been working closely with each other recently. We use some of the facilities. There have been joint ticket offers, the clubs...

Didn't CRFC see a significant boost in attendances after Wasps arrived. It was widely reported. Also, I know a few people who took to watching Cov when city were exiled in Northampton - were they not welcome too?

I think it was 90% from CV and B postcodes - which is a big old area - well over 3 million. The only two people I know who watch Wasps games are from Birmingham. Actually, one is from Telford, but was originally from Brum.

Somebody mentioned green and black, but not sure if there is any basis to that or if it is assumption because there is a Nike template that sits right next to the home version on this graphic. I guess it'll be one of those, and green and black is the most obvious given that it is traditional.

Not sure what difference it makes. Wasps fans who travel up from London - well that's up to them. There were Wimbledon fans who travelled to MK, and some still do. Don't get it myself, but then since there is no prospect of a Wasps phoenix club (it's Rugby after all, nobody cares that much)...

Think we're getting a bit hysterical. Is there one example of a city fan being 'hateful' to a Wasps supporter outside of online trolling? At least any more hateful than city fans are to each other most of the time? Think I must have missed something, because Coventry seems to have rolled out...

Loving this from Port Vale. The best kit I've seen in a while. Love the retro feel
