The only club that outgrew its home, but when it 'fills' it's new home the majority are opposing fans..... :banghead:

But that is irrelevant now. What is relevant is that Wasps, along with their cronies want to destroy us. We have to fight them.

Protecting a 100+ year sporting legacy of a city is worth more than a quick buck from London. CCFC will always bring more financially to the city as a whole than Wasps ever will.

Don I'm not talking about you - but you only need to go onto Twitter, the CET site to see that there are people that are relishing in our struggles. And they call themselves fans. We've done blame - and it falls at everyone's feet. Some people want to go further to exact revenge and don't care...

I did actually read it all - and agree with a great deal. My anger is centred on the fact that CCFC is like a man laying seriously injured on the ground whilst Wasps are kicking the life out of him.... The bystanders are cheering despite supposedly being the mans friends - trouble is they don't...

Sport is unique in the fact that it's stakeholders have that emotive connection to the club they support, as well as the community from which it originates. This is why franchise sport is wrong - it's a betrayal of this fundamental principle.

Then you are going to have to explain this one to us...

This will simply not happen IMO - liquidation would mean instant revoking of golden share. And whilst it doesn't have a monetary value itself, it is really the only 'asset' the club has.

And what approach would you apply? The abandon your roots and move 85 miles away for the fun of it approach?

I understand perfectly - they had a choice and they were fully aware of what they did. They weren't 'forced' into it.

The irony meter is in overdrive tonight.

We all know SISU's approach of quick win and out has spectacularly failed. It's not even up for discussion. This is about franchise sport - and making excuses for Wasps is in itself inexcusable.

To another location in the London vicinity.. fine. To the midlands is too far and fundamentally wrong. They should have been sent packing before they had a chance to look around. That's what a morally decent council would have done.

So do you believe they were 'forced' here?

At least he'd get behind a 'save our club' campaign.

In relation to franchise sport.... Certainly higher than Wasps.

Yes I did. What I'm saying is that why would people be happy with ACL running a complex beast like a football club? They fucked up running a stadium before (despite people telling us to the contrary) and have no experience at all as they don't run Wasps. Plus they have shown they have even less...

As opposed to you seeing it as a gospel...

So they took their oval shaped ball to play 85 miles away. Well done Wasps. SISU took Coventry to Sixfields - bad SISU.

So ACL run Wasps do they?? I was referring to the Ricoh prior to the sell out to a franchise.
