This is the reason why I don't feel any outrage and just find the whole situation saddening.

I would say most people understand why the council did the deal, but that doesn't mean they give their unqualified support. The council shouldn't have done the deal. The very least they should have done was to have consulted the football team, the rugby team and all the associated fans groups...

Me neither.

Things have changed. Football owners used to be local people, with an afinity or link to their clubs, quite often being fans themselves. It's all changed now and I dare say an awful lot of owners do not care much for the fans of their clubs at all.

It's more 'dripping' than flowing and more 'tranquil' than fast and not very pressing. They need to rephrase that to 'our dripping, tranquil, slightly touching football.'

It is completely different. Different country, different culture. Of course I don't like it when teams move to completely different cities. It doesn't effect us on any single level though does it. The States is huge and in NFL football most individual states have just one single team. One team...

But that is the States. Completely different countries and cultures. Can't compare to entirely different cultures. It's happened with regularity over decades over there, here it is much more a rarity.

Why would I believe anything they would say? Franchising is wrong. Seemingly though, to some, it's fine having a club come in,but when you have one taken away it's a completely different thing and becomes a problem.

I'm not assuming anything. I would want and expect everyone to be anti franchise though.

Will any of us ever accept them as a Coventry club?

The price of a franchise I should imagine. No loyalty or history or hertitage to that area.

They have a Wycombe fan base? Shouldn't they have been anti franchise and not supported them? Unless of course they were Wasps fans before the move.

Exactly what I am saying. They shouldn't have been in Wycombe. Though I have a little sympathy, I cannot see how they can moan too much about a club that doesn't even belong there cutting links with that local area.

How so? By saying Wasps shouldn't have played in Wycombe and that they shouldn't be playing here? How on earth is that pro franchise? :confused::confused:

That's kind of what I am hinting at. Surely the Wasps tenure at Wycombe was firstly, wrong, as it was moving 50 odd miles away and 2, temporary. Can't see how people in Wycombe can bemoan losing a team that wasn't even theirs! If Wasps leave here in 20 years time I will most certainly not be...

But as I said on another thread, this is the Wycombe area and Wasps shouldn't have been there anyway. If Wasps move from here in 5 years are we going to bemoan the fact they are going to break links here? :confused:

Not much sympathy at all with that to be honest, because they shouldn't even been in Wycombe anyway! Wonder if local Northampton businesses have moaned at CCFC for taking Coventry City away from them?

Was just being a little mischievious. :D:D I really did wish to gauge the reaction of the Wasps faithful. Don't think I have ever seen a club rugby game ever. Only England and Six Nations games for me usually and that's my lot!

They're neanderthals on a good day. The last thing you want to do is to annoy them further.
