Same here mate, the noises seem so much different than before over that and what better than to put two fingers up at wasps and CCC by building our own one and letting them wallow in the ricoh
Not advocating whacking tourists but yellow vest pickets and burning tires wouldn’t go amiss.
In all seriousness though I really hope we move on and build a ground. Hate the sight of the Ricoh now
Boycott and vote them out by all means but please for the love of all fuck let's not get into disruption as that just plays into the hands of the people who don't want us there as they will use it as an excuse as to why we shouldn't be at the Ricoh.
You can see the headlines now all about thuggish Coventry city fans disrupting things, we are starting to get the message out about the council and wasps so we just need to be patient and let it play out unfortunately
Would be a shame for the Commonwealth games to be a disaster for Wasps and CCC wouldn't it?
Nobody should be "thuggish", obviously.
But again it's only judo tho isn't it, noone will give a flying fuck anyway
I hope they do change the seats and show their true intention to the football club. The irony of all this is when history judges our city during these times and sees we were the city of sport the council were hell bent on breaking the club not because we did anything to them, it's only because Lucas has a gripe with our owners. And she wishes to be taken seriously in politics.
City of Culture too.
Fuck them.
Absolutely but needs to be done in the right way and not in anyway to show us as the bad guys or aggressors as that just plays into the narrative we have been trying to get away from for years
I doubt it, we will just get copy and paste spin saying how great it will be. Same as every other time.
They won't do any digging or call the council out.
It used to work the other way round aty dad's British Legion ClubYep it’s like our church where there is a responsibility for the building maintenance and the pcc for the ongoing running of the church. If that were so I’d expect some investment from wasps as well as ccc. Huge two fingers to Ccfc though
Does it though? The fan base itself has been incredibly passive if not outright supportive of anyone and everyone but SISU for years now. No-one likes being taken for a fool and that's exactly how the CCC have been treating fans of the football club. Shrugging our shoulders and telling them we're voting them out won't bother them in the slightest. What % of the fans, who have actually realised what they're up to, live in Coventry and what % of the voting population is that? I bet it's so small they won't even blink.Absolutely but needs to be done in the right way and not in anyway to show us as the bad guys or aggressors as that just plays into the narrative we have been trying to get away from for years

It isCan anybody explain to me how this isn't state aid?
Take away the history and the anti SISU/CCC/Wasps stuff, and the simple question to the council is still valid; how are the benefits to the local economy of investing this much in the Ricoh for a Judo/Wrestling event in anyway comparable to supporting the Championship football team, established in Coventry?
They are being embarrassed.They all need to be embarrassed and shown up.
I hear what you're saying. What is the long game though?But then again that will give the telegraph and cwr the opportunity to paint the club and it's fans as the bad guys and how we are a disgrace to the city etc which will then again turn the general public against us.... We are just starting to get to a point where the truth is coming out and people are starting to realise the truth of what has happened, why risk that to disrupt some shitty judo they no-one actually gives a fuck about with action that will obviously cause more harm than good. We need to play the long game here no matter how much it sucks
my thoughts too. it is state aid!Can anybody explain to me how this isn't state aid?
They are being embarrassed.
I'm certainly embarrassed for their decision making.
They are doing their utmost to do as little as possible for CCFC.
Imagine as a Councillor, you have a sure fire way that requires very little effort to pump extra money, potentially millions, into your local economy. You'd do it, wouldn't you?
In the meantime, you'd put a smile on the face of a good portion of your voter base.
All CCC had to say was, we will look favourably on this grant if you can get a deal with CCFC over the line.
That is if they want CCFC playing in Cov.
It is obvious they don't and are trying to push CCFC to the wall in the hope that SISU sell up.
I reckon, the only way SISU will sell up will be with a sustainable business model that pushes their whole project into the black.
CCC would be better off supporting that in order to rid them of SISU over damaging the Coventry City (Council and Football Club) and Wasps brands beyond repair.
Who else reckons CCC have bought a tonne of Wasps Bonds?
I hear what you're saying. What is the long game though?
Pretty sure state aid laws are suspended currently due to Covid19.my thoughts too. it is state aid!
