I agree with this, but from a slightly different angle. Football on TV all the time has created millions of armchair fans. These are people that 30-40 years ago would have had very little interest in football. What Sky has done is made "football fans" out of people who will watch a game if its...

Rugby isn't like that as much though I don't think. The reason so many in Cov (and every other town and city without a top team) support other football clubs is down to the media (sky) IMO. The same five/six clubs are all you ever hear about, and kids want to support the winning team they hear...

I don't think that will be too much of an issue in the short term. Most of the people I have heard say they will go to a few Wasps games weren't city fans anyway. Most were people who were originally from outside the area. The greater danger is on the youngsters who will become attached to...

I value CRFC and have probably been to more games than the average SBT poster, but I am not really a rugby fan. From my point of view it is a shame for CRFC, but I am not going to pretend to be devastated.

See, you feel more strongly about the ones that affect you. You think I've never heard of CRFC?

What extremities? My point was you either fundamentally disagree with franchising in rugby, in which case you must feel as strongly about Welsh & Irish as you do about Wasps. If not, you must therefore only care about the Wasps situation because it affects Ccfc. Which would back up dongos...

What do you propose should be done to get reassurances about the future of our club?

Equally so where is the outrage at London Irish moving out of London to Reading? Where is the outrage at London Welsh moving out of London to Oxford?

Requesting a reply by date is fairly normal practice. It allows there to be no confusion over whether the letter has been ignored/not read properly, or simply still in the process of being replied to.

Unfortunately a minority of fans cant accept who is responsible for the club. As for trying to "hold ACL and Wasps to account" WTF is the point? Wasps are here now, they own the Ricoh and there is nothing that can be done about that. This is what I thought would happen though. No one has any...

Nick, what do you class as "giving stick"? As I recall many were of the opinion that everyone is free to do as they wish, however attending Sixfields is not helpful to Ccfc. Is that giving stick? I am currently of the opinion that if a Coventry person wants to attend rugby then it...

But you keep going on about this but its a bit of a non issue. Can you name 5 people that gave abuse to sixfielders that have now said they will watch wasps? Also I think you missed my point. Regardless of what anyone has said in the past, if you now shout down anyone for going to wasps, it...

Even without Wasps, we are reaching a point where someone saying "they are going to the game at the weekend" doesn't mean going to watch the City like it once did. The number of people attending non CCFC sports events in the city is now approaching 5k each weekend, when you consider CCFC are...

So what is your stance against "giving shit" to people who attend Wasps games? Seems you think that they are now fair game. You've basically become the person shouting "Scab", which is strange as a few months ago you claimed to hate such behaviour.

That type of thing happens more often than you think. My employer purchased our head office, then immediately sold it on for a large profit on a leaseback scheme.

I am not on about people who attend games. I am on about those on here who are suddenly devastated by the damage that could be caused to CRFC despite never attending a game.

Or people who have suddenly become life long Cov Rugby fans (without ever going or planning to go to a game) out of spite of Wasps.

I have absolutely no idea what your on about. However I do know that you a one seriously nasty piece of work. Your not stupid, which makes it worse. You at any opportunity try to belittle and insult your opponents in debate. There are one or two others on here the same, but you are the...

Think you need to look up definition of a threat. Either that or read my post again.

Ah ok, at least you've admitted it there. Pretty courageous of you to be honest.
