Ironic they sell over 27000 tickets for their first match , its also hilarious the amount ofcoventry folk on facebook etc who are adopting this club as its new "team" .
this is the way i see it " fuck em all " thats as mature as i can get on the subject
Probably , i would also place money that within a year the attendances at the ricoh for the wasps will be even more pathetic than at adams parkAre most of them hardcore SISU out, NOPM types too?
I think it depends on our situation, if sisu are gone it could do. While they are here I can see people going to wasps over ccfc out of spite.Probably , i would also place money that within a year the attendances at the ricoh for the wasps will be even more pathetic than at adams park
This is a wasps thread Nick
No its not the flu nor a hangover its the WASPS love in. WASPS took advantage of an opportunity created by our incompetent owners and a weak CCC / ACL but its just so hard to accept that a grounf built for us will never be ours.
However all these newly created Coventry based WASPS fans who are enjoying slagging odd CCFC ( I slag CCFC off also but I am a ST holder and lifelong fan I have a right) just a few thoughts
WASPS left Adams Park in a whimper 6,500 compare that to CCFC's departure from Highfield Road.
If WASPS win the ultimate prize in club rugby - the Heineken Cup - will there be an open top bus parade with 250,000 on the streets like in 1987, highly unlikely. This club did mean something to the City but unfortunately a combination of factors, our owners ACL etc.. have allowed an outside minority sports club to get on the cheap and relegate us to secondary tenants in our "own" stadium - to the delight of far too many local people.
PS following rugby doesn't move you up the social class structure.

This is the thing that FUCKS me off more than anything. People so against the move to Northampton and NOPM yet embrace the fact that a franchise has bought the Ricoh. It is unbelievable.
I for one don't just drop my morals just to spite SISU. I hate SISU as much as the next guy but I would rather a SISU owned Ricoh than a "originally" London based rugby club owned Ricoh.
The Wasps takeover is far from ideal but it seems positive, for some reason, after years of Sisu plunder.
A lot of people are like me and have got fed up of it all the uncertainty.

People can watch top class rugby.I can't see a single positive. We, as a city, have aided the removal of a club from it's home. We are up alongside Milton Keynes now. It will have a negative effect on CCFC and CRFC, where are the positives?

I really fail to see how it will prove positive in the long term.
Your probably right but I remain positive that something will come out of this.
The point I think I'm making is that we were just spiraling to nowhere, but this to me seems to at least having us treading water.
The only fact I know now is that CCFC will never, ever, own their own stadium and that was the case before Wasps came into the picture.
Prior to this there was a hope that if SISU didn't buy the ground someone would come in and buy the club and ground. Unless Wasps buy is, which is unlikely to say the least, we are now a lot less attractive proposition to any potential buyer, it's not like they were queuing up before so how hard will it be to find a replacement for SISU now?
What evidence do you have that makes you believe that Sisu would ever sell the club?
TF said it would only be sold at top of the business cycle.
I think once the new wasps logo seating is installed (and it will be, have no doubts) that would be pretty much it for ccfc, assuming no new stadium is built, which again it wont be. I dont think many ccfc fans will turn out in a completely wasps branded stadium.
Why would it be wasting money?? Why would they waste money putting signage up, rebranding the tunnel? They are making it their home which they are fully entitled to do.There's room to brand both.
Why would they waste money changing the seat colours.
CCFC/Sisu need engage Wasps on branding areas for CCFC.
Be positive and enjoy the following competition.
'Using the Black seats that spell CCFC can you reposition to spell the word WASPS?'
So the reason that we should see Wasps coming in as a positive is that there is zero chance SISU will ever sell the club? Equally I could ask what evidence you have to suggest that SISU will at no point in the future ever sell the club?

What's your plan to move things on.
Continue to be a victim ?
Haha says the king of the flouncers.What's your plan to move things on.

Unless the current seats are going to last 250 years at some point they will need to be replaced, what colour do you think they will be when it gets to that point?

You crack me up mate, the funny thing is you don't even see the irony in any of your posts.
