doesn't look like anything to be upset about, thats pretty much the absolute best scenario we could have hoped for regarding the seats isn't it?
I must thank my lucky stars. The whole thing is shit and says to me we just can't stay here long term.

Eastwood on the radio said he is bowled over by the welcome Coventry has given wasps. There is tremendous excitement at premier rugby coming to the city .
Also "purpose built for high-profile domestic and international sport". Purpose built for Coventry City actually.
He has met The Trust to be fair.
Didn't realise Norwich was in Coventry-Norwich are helped by having no competition whatsoever for almost 40 miles.

The location is irrelevant to the point I'm making, as I'm sure you know.
Norwich City, with no competition within 40 miles as you rightly point out, had an average attendance of just 14k in the late '90s, before embarking upon a scheme where schoolchildren were given thousands of free tickets.
Yeah giving away thousands of free tickets and then bragging about the inflated crowd isn't something to be proud of. It hasn't been demonstrated that it's worked with Wasps as the future hasn't happened! You can also throw in Norwich already being based in the city of their namesake.
Well the council and the Higgs rolled out the welcome mat and have even helped promote their matches. Very hospitable-if only they'd shown such gestures towards the city's own clubs.

The imminent collapse of CCFC and CRFC due to Wasps hasn't happened either but your constantly ranting about it.
So finishing off the building of the Ricoh by CCC and Higgs bailing out CCFC by buying their ACL share were not positive gestures.
Both kept CCFC head above water.

He has also met, Steve Waggot, Steve Brookfield, Sandra Garlick, Coventry Rugby, 46 of the 48 junior Rugby clubs within 10 miles of Coventry, he has also met Steven Pressley and some of his coaching staff.
I've said it will be bad for both clubs.
Both have been nullified by recent events.
That's not really a well thought out response and factually incorrect post. I understand your frustration but this post doesn't sit well with me.
That's one hell of a charm offensive.
Hasn't happened yet. Using your logic, my post about free tickets improving attendances in the future is as valid as yours about the negative effects on CCFC & CRFC.
Disagree, I think CCC have shown contempt towards both the rugby and football clubs with their actions. Higgs were roped in but found tying balloons to cars a better use of their time. The way this deal was done stinks and neither party emerges with credit from it.
Yes its called diplomacy. I know as a CCFC fan it is a alien concept to us, but apparently its quite effective.
Mind you, I think our bullying and hostility tactics produce much better outcomes don't they?
Was this when our esteemed chairman threatened to have his dog maul someone?

Don't worry folks.....We all know the Ricoh factor will kick in after the 1st game.....Therefore, next game will be less than 3000.....
PS: I hope its 0-3, it fucking pisses down all match, the toilets flood, all the 4x4's get keyed in the car parks & the real ales off.....
......wankers.
You have cited a precedent that is incomparable in terms of a) area, b) sport and c) history of the club.

I'd like to say I am surprised but unfortunately I am not, I am disgusted that so many people feel they need to go and support a franchise Club but not Clubs that matter to the community in Cov Rugger or CCFC..
Yes I certainly see your point and I'm not a massive council fan but they and Higgs have helped our club ccfc immensely. Last few years maybe not as much but then I put this down to ours owners. If we had any other owners (within reason) we would of had bought ACL and be the leaseholders that wasps have got.
