Imagine if the population of Northampton had been as self-centred and selfish as you are.

I seem to remember you being a tad upset when we played there.

Wasps are not a problem. They just bought a white elephant that nobody wanted according to you guys.

You have a choice. I decided not to go and would have stopped supporting all together if they had stayed much longer.
Thankfully Wasps forced us back and all though its far from ideal it's better than being at Northampton.

Your not a fool to have an alternative opinion.
Your are a fool though if you follow a plan blindly and see Wasps (and their supporters) as our problem when the problem is elsewhere.

What if you follow Wasps plan blindly and make yourself look a bit of a hypocrite in the meantime?

Right, so its not a problem for us to move to the other side of the country. Sure most people will get over it eventually. :facepalm:

Our fans didn't get over it and our absence forced the team back.
Obviously the vast majority of Wasps fans have got past it and if they have not they can watch every match on live on TV.

No one is blindly following sisus plan. In the main due to a lack of one. Wasps plan on the other hand is to become the biggest rugby club in Coventry. This meaning sidelining cov rugby. To this you have no problem. This is why you're a hypocrite.

It's a plan that actually has items in it unlike our 3 year down the line stadium plan that you may be following.
Or is it the 'Get rid of Wasps' plan that Sisu haven't actually mentioned but you are following it anyway ?

They are already the biggest Rugby club in Coventry !!!
CRFC are second and then there are many more who aspire to be higher up the ratings.
Life goes on and as of yet CRFC don't seem to be suffering crowd wise.

Whether in the future they will be able to take advantage of Wasps being in Coventry remains to be seen.

So it isn't following a plan is it if they haven't mentioned it.

Are Cov RFC attendances the same / higher than Pre Wasps?

My effort on what?
I'm only debating with a few people on here. Most don't give a toss.

Wasps will just get on with what they need to do for their rugby club.
Nothing we do as a club will change their plan.
If we want to work with them they 'might' help us, if we don't (or appear we don't) then they won't.
At the end of the day there are mutual benefits if we want to take advantage of them.

Did we all say it was a white elepahnt then, (or just one poster you seem to have an agenda with) or is that a generalisation to suit your point of view.

How do you know? Have you canvassed those who cant afford the trip/dont have time etc, and have gone to support another team, or just given up?

I didnt know every match was live on TV, so when did this new TV deal begin? as its not the current deal.

He makes it up as he goes along while ignoring the fact that the franchise hands out thousands of free tickets and that 90%odd percent of the crowd come from cv postcodes (according to his franchise mate).

Ticketing system shared costs.
Administration costs.
Shop and staff. Retail costs of merchandise.
Training facilities academies. Medical staff.

I read their bulletin boards and the problem seems over.
I guess they will always loose the local fans as they move on.
I talk to dozens of travelling fans every match as they arrive and most think it is the best thing that could have happened.
A lot of fans traveled distance anyway (furthest canvassed Broadstairs) and again it's the best thing for their club.
They seem to make a day of it. It's like one of our away days.
Some say we never had a home they could call their own and now they have and they can buy into it.
I could go on ........

Surely asking the fans who are travelling is the same as asking people in a steakhouse their thoughts on eating meat?

I think you will find that related to the sell out first crowd. The percentage on 12,000 is way up on that obviously as
I'm not up on the figures but a lot of people do travel. Car park C is always sold out weeks before.

.... or asking anybody on here about working with Wasps. They would rather cut their nose off to spite their face.

You can still gauge the opinions of how inconvenient it is for them.
It's not ideal but IMHO it's like supporting a countrywide team. Probably why locals can relate to them and why they dropped the London.
As I said they like to have somewhere they can call home and it's not a 5 minute home.

It isn't just on here though is it? It seems like it is on the CET site, on the CWR Facebook, on social media etc.

Gauging of opinions of how inconvenient and what they think of it is 2 totally different things.

So it will be fine that we can call a stadium 80 miles away home will it?

Obviously.
Would be a blow if all the continued wasps bitching was done by 6 people using several different user names.
It could never happen ??

Yes, it is only 6 people who don't really like Wasps in the whole of Coventry....

The time capsule stuff proved otherwise.

Never said there were only 6 that don't like Wasps, I said that there are only 6 that keep bitching about it.
Obviously for us CCFC fans it is far from ideal, but at some point we all need to move on and make the most of it.
Most have a life and just get on with it.

Are there only 6? Or is that you trying to play it down?

Hypocritical post #2342384234

So if you dislike Wasps and the situation you now have no life?
