Blimey, yesterday italia confirmed Wasps were inflating attendance figures, today he's confirmed CT articles are just advertising for Wasps
24500 today according to BBC. Does that mean the real crowd was about 15k?

It looked busy to be fair so I would say say about right. Was this the game with freebies?24500 today according to BBC. Does that mean the real crowd was about 15k?
Hope so. Another defeat might knock a few more off the time after too.They will be back to 9000 next week.

Good news was they lost hopefully a few don't return
This was a bogof deal game so most didn't have to pay for a ticket.

I understand we have to work with them Italia. Get all that, but they are a London club playing in Coventry and now in the guise of a Coventry club. I will always want them to lose and sincerely hope they are never successful here.I'm not happy that we don't own the stadium but at some point you guys will need to accept we are stuck with them and like CCFC management work with them.
I remain positive on this and hold the 'hope' that both managements can work together for the mutual benefit of both clubs.
My only regret is that the 2 year deal was not longer as it is difficult now to push Wasps on personalising areas of the stadium.
However if you can get over the Wasps badges it does look more like ours than theirs.
I'm surprised there fans have not mentioned this in their forum.
Hopefully in the 2 years we can see the true plans for the club and all the legals will be over.

It does and always will irk me that some Coventry people have embraced Wasps so readily and to my mind you can't just bus in a club into a new city on a whim. The people of Coventry should reject them and not go up.
Even Eastwood himself said the the other day he was surprised by the lack of opposition from local people over the move, he was shocked by how easy people rolled over and accepted it. He was expecting a much harder job to have to convince people.
It's because they "got one over" on SISU that people like them. Is it a coincidence that most who like them (in terms of city fans on here and social media) seem to be vocal people about SISU? ie the trust etc.
Suspect Wasps branded seats would wind up more CCFC fans than the blue seats bother Wasps supporters. Looking at the Sky Blues forum, the seat colours seem very important to them. If it really means that much to them then it seems a small price to pay (or not pay!), personally would rather any money spent on a second big screen and facilities.
I think any changes should be made in discussion with CCFC.

Everyone should have followed your example of protesting about it. Oh wait they did. You did FA and so did most others. I guess that makes you one of the people Eastwood was surprised by.
on the legals Italia they will only be over when Sisu have either won or have exhausted every avenue so I think it will be a lot longer than two years.
It seems people followed the example of fix football, teams shouldn't be moved protests by trying to be the first to wave a wasps flag. He probably saw thousands of people marching because their team was moved out of the city and expected something like that happening, so he got the trust in early to meet him and strangely the vocal ones seemed to change their moral they were so proud of.
Again, it comes down to PR. How many people would have been happy if the trust were shouting about how wrong it was as well as the CET? A good example was a guy on Twitter who was posting "Fuck off Wasps" when the news came out about the move, then some "positively spun" news was put up and he suddenly supports them....
I was going to the "protest" outside the council house after work before the night game. It changed that morning though. That was on a matchday though, probably why you must have missed it.
I think it's forced the Club to compete rather than tread water.
Thread started on their rubbish forum saying seats need ripping out and black and gold pit in.
As they own it should be entirely wasps branded.

Yes the club have to work with them but I don't have to like it and one day hope they go back to London but while people support them this will take more time that it should be.

It's an isolated view though. A bit like you on here !!
If CCFC are not staying of course that will happen.
But if we can commit long term and get a 'great' deal from Wasps that benefits both of us in respect of getting and keeping both clubs at the top it will be a win win ....... surely ?
I would say that if we can eventually commit long term that Wasps will 'allow' us some customisation of the stadium.
Most people only see the colours of the team playing in a full stadium so it customises itself by defaut.
A 'few' will be looking for Wasps badges rather than the football but most don't care at the moment.
