Loyalty ended the day the club decided it didn't want its fans and moved to Northampton.

Highlighted the key bit there. Back to the same old crap now and most sane people wont pay to be part of it. Loyalty has been broken, this will take years to repair.

Beyond doubt now that the move to Northampton has damaged the fanbase.

But why get the Wasps involved? That's the bit I don't understand.

Cant be arsed to read all this thread, so sorry if its already been answered. I can understand how someone wanting to take over the club would first buy the Ricoh and then try and buy the club, but where do the Wasps come in? If Ranson has already put a consortium together, why does he need the...

Got to be honest, I'm finding it very hard to keep the interest up right now. There's only so much of this we can all take. Cant even enjoy the simple fact we are now back home without that being under threat.

The council want to wash their hands of the whole thing and I for one can't blame them for having that attitude. For far to long they have been criticised for trying to do the right thing. We need to emphasise, regardless of whats gone on, that they need to stick with it and hope that one...

And that's the point that needs to be made. Just saying it's bad for Coventry because two of its private businesses will suffer isn't enough. The letter has no emotion. Also it is right to mention sisu in all this. The council rightly don't trust sisu. What they need to be reminded is that...

The problem is it isn't the councils duty to protect the interests of ccfc and crfc. If we're saying that it is, then it is also the councils duty to force sisu out and bring about a change of ownership. The councils duty is to do the right thing for the whole city, and for all we know, the...

& Cov Rugby of course

Well it has been stated as fact by many on here that no one else would ever want to buy the Ricoh, so no one can predict who is out there wanting to buy.

I'm confused as to why the newco have any first option to buy the Ricoh. I hope Simon can clarify where that has come from as my understanding was it belonged to CCFC Ltd.

The problem with that in football is the teams at the top think they will be there forever and therefore don't worry about the lower leagues. Imagine trying to persuade a Chelsea fan that they should get less TV money to help out Accrington. They response would be why should we help? Nothing to...

Love how you pretend to be outraged by such an event, when its quite clear you couldn't care less.

The main reason behind the trouble was one of the main sponsors went bust. Crowds had declined slightly in the same season which didn't help. However due to the trust and respect that exists between the fans and management at the Blaze, when the chairman put out a statement saying the fans...

My mates? Apart from exchanging pleasantries with Ray Lucas (Ann's fella) at the bar in the Old Shepherd I have no contact with the council.

Why? They are doing fine in Coventry.

And a city the size of Coventry should have a rugby team that is at least Championship level. Its a two way thing. The rugby club has also been poorly managed, through no fault of the fans. When they are the best supported team in the division then you cant ask anymore of the supporters.

Nottingham are the Newcastle of British Hockey. Brilliant support but rarely win anything.

Your being a bit unfair there. Cov Rugby and the Blaze get very respectable crowds, I am unsure of the Bees as they don't seem to publish that sort of information. Rugby League 1 Averages 13/14 1. Coventry 1208 2. Darlington 1205 3. Richmond 751 4. Fylde 705 5. Wharfdale 670 6. Esher 557 7...
