Disagree. I've only got to read Jack's posts to see where his loyalties lie.

OK. CCFC move to Northampton. Chaos ensues, "no to franchise football", marches, petitions, "fix football", etc etc (Potentially), London Wasps move to Coventry and maybe swallowing up the city's own rugby team, but ah well, that's business.

I guess it's like Villa and CCFC merging. How many would be "onboard" with that, do you reckon? But, that's not the point. It's the hysteria of franchising that suddenly seems to OK with ACL, CCC and people on here.

Absolutely. I've seen football there twice in my 48 years, once in May 1987 and once in August 1987. I'd like my lad to experience that feeling.

I'm panicking now. I'm camping outside the shop after work just to make sure I can get a ticket. At a fiver a time the demand will be unprecedented. I'm not stupid....

And offering the Ricoh to a rugby team from London are solid foundations for that trust "rebuilding", are they?

Better ask their communications man. Jack, any ideas?

If disappearing and being amalgamated with Wasps is a "ground share" then yep, you're right.

www.fixrugby.com I can see it now.

Reading some of the posts on here I can see it's working a treat already.

Well, it's a rumour that neither ACL or CCC have denied in their statements.

Exactly. If it's going to happen then give the opportunity to Cov Rugby Club. Local teams.

"local presence". Not for much longer, mate.

What pisses me off is all the "good business sense" crap that is banded about. We were told that the Ricoh was NOT FOR SALE but it seems that it IS for sale as long as it's NOT to the local football team. It's apparently OK to flog it to a franchise team 100 miles distant.

Maybe, you're right. Wasps can have the Ricoh and CCFC can build one where we can get income 365 rather than 23.

WHy not? We expected the "football community" to share our outrage but the appalling figure for the petition showed that basically people don't care as long as it doesn't affect their club. As for me, couldn't really give a flying F for Wasps or rugby in general because it's crap, however...

Despite what he says it's no different at all. I smell hypocrisy.

The people of Coventry would boycott it though, wouldn't they? After all they are talking about merging with Cov, taking the name and relocating from Middlesex. I imagine the move would be unanimously condemned by all on here?

Oh, I don't know about that. There seem to be more than a few on here. ;)

It's just not for sale to the City's football club, it seems.
