Even if that were true it's still only 2,200 of an average gate of between six and seven thousand. So where do you think the rest came from? And being a West London club would likely mean that they drew a proportion from Wycombe previously in any case. Wycombe is a pretty substantial commuter...

To start off with CRFC aren't going nowhere, they're trying to get out of the third division of rugby - it's not easy though because it's one up, one down and a competitive league. They are the best supported team in the division. There are big parallels here with CCFC. Trying to get out of...

Depends where you're starting from - but it's a lot closer to where Wasps were based than Coventry, that's for sure. The real point is that Wasps are and were a London club - indeed when their new owner took over he made exactly that point. They even re-branded as "London" Wasps. Until the...

Then with respect you've answered your own question. Wasps most certainly were not a franchise before they moved here. They'd moved around a few grounds in North/West London, were described by their owner when he purchased them as a 'London' club, had their base of operations and their academy...

Ooh, I can answer that. One. Coventry RFC (est. 1874, in Coventry) were a professional club well before London Wasps came here. They had paid full-time staff, their own ground, and a number of paid full-time players, and when Wasps arrived they still plied their trade in the third division...

You can influence the future by not supporting the business who have: 1) Taken ownership of the stadium that was built for us. 2) Bought our academy and are now pushing us out of that. 3) Are refusing to negotiate with CCFC on the pretence that the legal action in some way affects them. (Clue...

Just to add my tuppence to this. I'm a regular at Cov rugby and I'm not particularly happy that we're having anything at all to do with Wasps. Some fans will probably feel the same as me, and some won't. That isn't the players' fault though, so they'll get my support when they're on the...

They can rant - they're more than welcome to. I like a good rant myself. However I think it's fair enough to point out the level of actual information therein and to defend an article that makes a lot of sense to me. The OP might be smarter than Einstein for all I know, he's just not showing...

What was the point in calling someone "SISU Nick" then? If you don't want to cause trouble, then be a man, grow up and apologise. No one's going to unite behind someone who doesn't put their brain into gear before they post offensive rubbish like this. If you want to get fans together I think...

OK, so the OP here started off with the usual juvenile pun about the author's name, and then signally failed to identify where any of the article was factually wrong. He's so one eyed that he's completely missed Reid's criticism of SISU. It's an utter waste of time arguing with people like...

I think you've kind of answered your own question there. In fairness SISU must know that we want them out, they for whatever reason don't want to go. There's probably nothing served in a meeting on that basis - they're well aware of how the fans feel, they just don't much care...

Not, perhaps, my most lucid post ever. :) I am reminded of the magical Chris Cattlin quote, when he was manager of Brighton "There's a rat in the camp trying to throw a spanner into the works!".

Yep, sorry Otis, that's fair comment - didn't mean to bite your head off. I apologise. I don't mean to underplay it, I know exactly how I'd feel if one of these idiots scared my kids. My mum would just thump 'em, I suspect. ;) The point I was trying to make is that the media were fanning...

No Otis, you're missing the point entirely. What I'm saying is that this is an issue that has been largely manufactured by the press who created a 'craze' when there simply wasn't one. If you're f****d off about it, go and complain to the sodding morons who manufactured it - which includes...

There were six incidents in total reported across the UK when the CET tweeted and reported "Scary Clown Craze" the day before yesterday. They must be tremendously chuffed that the publicity is working and it's starting to catch on, as it'll save them having to spend money on actual reporting...

Exactly this Nick. The CET were calling it a 'craze' when there had been precisely six incidents in the UK. Six. They're trying to create some sort of moral panic in order to make money for themselves, classic Daily Mail bullshit. Any newspaper or 'journalist' who involved themselves in this...

Just to make the point, Sport England were also a statutory consultee for the Wasps application for building on the Higgs, which fundamentally makes the CCFC Academy unworkable in it's current format. You'll notice how easy they were satisfy there. I wouldn't bank on Sport England stopping...

I'm sorry but this is rubbish. Moving to Northampton damaged the club beyond any doubt. But we could have come back from that. There's no way we can ever own the Ricoh now though, or get anything out of it beyond Wasps want to give us. And anyone who things Wasps will act in Coventry City's...

You say something like, "OK, we're prepared to sell, you can have it for £6.5m.". Compare and contrast with what was actually said to CCFC, "We want to build trust before we discuss ownership". Next.

Don't know about whataboutery, but there's a sodding huge straw man here. I find it incredible that posters who are otherwise quite intelligent struggle to spot it. There is no one on this board who is pro SISU. It's completely bloody idiotic to suggest there is. Pointing out the obvious...
