Politely, I don't see it that way. I don't see anyone going to watch CRFC as a protest against Wasps. The effect of them moving here is much more likely to have diluted support than increased it, especially when they choose to play on the same days as Cov. For a team that's just been...

The key phrase that you're missing here is 'in spite of'. I was at the club a few days after the deal went through and CRFC were patently not happy. Similarly it was stated that Wasps would play on Sundays to avoid clashing with CRFC fixtures. More bullshit, it turns out.... CRFC certainly...

What the Council and Wasps were thinking, quite clearly, is that they would say any old bullshit to get the deal through. There was no mention of it being time limited, it was an absolutely unambiguous statement - the Wasps deal would not impact either CCFC or CRFC negatively. That was what...

I have absolutely no idea where this misplaced optimism comes from, but I really fancy us for this. I don't think there's much between the teams and if we can get behind the lads from the start I think we can rattle them. Nothing scientific then, just a belief that we're still a good side with...

I'll have to let you do the digging, but at the time of the Wasps deal the council claimed that Wasps would bring millions of pounds into the City's economy. Even it they were making it up a bit to justify the deal (they were), then it's obvious that the football club would be worth at least as...

After the cup game at Wembley I witnessed some horrendous racial abuse of a security guard by some knuckle dragging Neanderthal egged on by a few of his mates. All of them were Cov fans. I've seldom felt as angry, but like everyone else around, and there were a lot of people about, I did...

Wouldn't have been much point in catching it after it had smashed I do hope you're not trying to diminish my greatest ever achievement, that would be mean. :)

Just the other day I opened the cupboard in the kitchen, and a glass that had been resting against the door tumbled out. Quick as a flash, I caught it, left-handed, in a pinch grip on the top, just before it smashed against the worktop. I turned around, cool as you like, and not a single...

Not for the first time, I find myself wondering why accountants make accounts so bloody obscure. It's to keep yourselves employed, isn't it OSB? :)

It's not a mistake mate, imho, it's entirely deliberate. SISU genuinely believe that there's a chance of winning this, and in truth I think there still is until the whole legal process has been exhausted. It's a very remote chance I suspect, but it's enough to keep them digging away at it...

It's funny that, because right up until they sold the ground in secret to Wasps the Coventry taxpayer was told that the ground was doing fine. Hell we even put another 14m of our cash into it. (Voted for in another meeting they wanted to keep secret). So don't give me all this bollocks about...

I am a Coventry ratepayer, well Council Tax at least, and I'd politely disagree. If selling to Wasps damages the local football team significantly, as it clearly is, then that's hugely disadvantageous to the city from both a commercial and a cultural point of view. And that's before even...

I'm not convinced that if Wasps want to be fully accepted in the community that they can afford to upset those who support CCFC, I know a fair number of city fans who go to Wasps. It's one reason why the PR wars have started. A point worth making as well perhaps, the action is against the...

Entirely fair, ISB, SISU have been at the root of our woes and I'd never dispute that, but it's the Council's deal with Wasps that will really stuff the club forever. And regardless of all of that, there's nothing stopping Wasps doing a short-term deal. I'm sure they'd like the legal stuff to...

If you're going to assign blame, then I'd start with the people who sold to the rugby franchise without putting something in place to guarantee that the club would have the right to a deal at the stadium. You know, the ones who said that the critical part of the deal was that the football club...

You are now allowed one post about Wasps. Use it wisely :)

Fwiw it sounds like a proper end to end game on the radio. Crowd sounds good too...

Personally speaking, I wouldn't bank on the EFL to stop us moving out of Cov again, they're utterly spineless.

I know Orca of old, and he's a top bloke and a city fan through-and-through. I might not agree with everything he says, but this ad hominem stuff is ridiculous. If we want an open forum where differing opinions are tested then let's give people a chance to state them without calling them...
