Providing direct links to the Wasps' website to buy tickets for their first match at the Ricoh.
Not something they do for either CCFC or Cov RFC as far as I can see.
Is it an advert that Wasps have paid for is it an Article?
Its an article about their prices with a link, the same as the Telegraph reported when City announced their prices, with a link.

Instigated no doubt by a more professional and proactive sports club than our current crop of amateurs !
I can't see why we wouldn't let people know how to get hold of tickets for sports events taking place in the city
We regularly run news stories / links for CCFC season tickets and matchday tickets / offers online and in print. ( Like this one http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sp...s/coventry-city-scrap-matchday-ticket-7947232 )
We also run paid-for adverts for CCFC, and even did so when they were at Sixfields.
I can't see why we wouldn't let people know how to get hold of tickets for sports events taking place in the city, or take adverts from sports teams in /around the city?

Because the sports club should not be in the city?
Be as that may, they will be.

Shouldn't be here though, Simon. I notice you and yours didn't start one of your Twitter petitions trying to stop it.
There was nothing like the united opposition to the Wasps move from our readers / the people of Coventry as there was to the Sixfields move. The people of Coventry have been, and continue to be, split over the move. You only have to look at our comments sections / letters pages to see that.
It's not comparing like for like.
So that means accepting it and helping it to gain a foothold?
I thought newspapers were supposed to be beyond the finance, and stand up for the social...
So the newspaper should never challenge political decisions either, as the public will always be split over them?
What, ultimately, is a point of a newspaper that holds no opinions one way or another?
Of course we stand up for the community, but there is no general consensus on this issue from our local community.
To communicate fair and accurate information to people and allow them to make informed decisions.
And the lack of consensus is surely a reason to delve deeper and ask questions. Why do you need 100% agreement on a subject to ask questions? In fact, even if 100% agreement is forthcoming, why does that stop a journalist challenging the ideological position put in front of them?
We wrote around 40 articles between first revealing the talks and the deal officially being announced.
If we're still being accused of not "asking questions" after that, you'll have to forgive me if I grow tired of defending our integrity.
We're not perfect. But we do our best!

As a matter of interest, did the local paper in Northampton "take a position" on the move to Sixfields?
Does it matter , they are now after all ...a coventry based side wether we like it or not
One would sincerely hope they didn't advertise tickets for sale to the games amongst their readership...
And tbh I'd also hope they didn't report on the games, too!
I shall go and have a look though... just for you
