Well done people of Coventry (and surrounding areas). You can't be arsed to support your football club but will happily get behind an egg chasing franchise from London. Well done again.
Nick Eastwood said on Cwr on Friday that of the 27,000 tickets sold 92% were from people with a CV postcode.

Well there must have been a large silent minority of Wasp fans based in the cv area then, perhaps that's why they moved here. Take it from me the majority of people by me were from afar and judging from the vocal support around the ground were established Wasp supporters, perhaps here because it was the first game but not locals by any means.Nick Eastwood said on Cwr on Friday that of the 27,000 tickets sold 92% were from people with a CV postcode.

Steve your hypocrisy here is bordering on comical. You opposed CCFC playing in Northampton with so much energy and then you sit there and defend a club which relocated even further and is not going back? MK Dons fans don't care where their club came from either.
One of many posts having a go at the Wasps supporters. None of the move to the Ricoh is their fault. How many think that they are happy that they have to travel nearly 100 miles each way each game? They are as much at fault as we were when we got moved to Northampton.
So they are now a bunch of cunts and wankers because someone put a flag on the JH statue? If that is the case I expect those saying so to admit that they are a c**t or a wanker each time a so called CCFC supporter does something wrong.
For some reason they are too thick to realise. Even the sky blue trust are joining in. Their leaders are not fit for purpose and seem to care more about getting their egos stroked and doffing their caps.
The trust represent fans of ccfc not all but some its a pity our owners don't.

So the whole crowd doing it did not go down well
I think a few stuffed shirts in the main stand were reluctant but a little booing as it staggered through got them in the mood the next time round.
Never heard any football language in my immediate surround.
I got the impression from comments on their forum that we had crashed their party. However I think a full Ricoh is a fantastic stadium and I felt envious.
Do I want to be part of it, maybe, but I don't really like the matter of fact attitude. Rugby fans seem a little reserved on excitement.[/QUOT
"crashed their party".
The people of Coventry are good at that. 20,000 of them crashed the Gillingham homecoming, never to be seen again this season.
Tell the wasps lot not to worry. Give it a few games and there will be no fucker there and they can go back to the attendances they are used to.
As for the statue thing, well... I doubt he would have minded. He wanted to change our name for money. Is'nt that franchising?
Although if it was a city fan then it shows a lack of class.

Wasps only have 6,000 supporters and there were 40 coaches going from Wycombe.
It's all in the product I'm afraid.
Coventry fans have always been fickle but when the product improves they are sitting in wait.

That is absolute nonsense. You can level that at shoppers who go where the bargains are, but not at fans of sports' teams. Well, there are always those like you and Steve, who seem quite happy to switch when it suits them.
I don't go into M&S, see a cheap dress in the sale and think "Ooh, I'll get myself that, what a bargain".
As for switching, I have a season ticket for the football.
And we currently only have just over 7000 fans from a city with a population of 330000 not a good comparison really. IMO far too much time has been and still is wasted on this Wasp issue and not on the reasons we are fast becoming a backwater outfit and those who are causing itWasps only have 6,000 supporters and there were 40 coaches going from Wycombe.
Which you've said about 9 zillion times you wish you hadn't bought. I wish you hadn't either.
Did you also wish the other 20,000 for the Gillingham game hadn't bothered?
Get over it !!!

Not to defend rugby and starting lighting my own farts and all, but surely the childhood dream part is playing in front of thousands of people in his home city rather than 'since I was a boy it was my dream that a stadium would be built while I was in my twenties and the team I play for would be uprooted and moved there after a few years in Wycombe'

Here is the Wasps Forum:

Feel free to use it next time. You can join in blaming SISU for the state of the pitch
It's owned by a company, cheerio thenThanks, finally! A forum that is well ran, where the 'owner' is a decent bloke. You could learn a thing or two!

Why not stop coming on here and start your own forum? I'm sure it will be well run and I'm sure you're a decent bloke.
IMHO they are planning to loose half them and tap into local support.
The proof will be in the next few games.

No way I'm gonna read 235+ posts but I'd like to get this back on topic....
A flag of a some cunty cockney rugby franchise attached to Sir Jimmy Hills statue is offensive.......If the w*sps fans on here can't see why that is.....then I'm sorry but you're just dumb fuckers.....
funny post, flag resting on a statue = offensive. cunty, cockney, w*sps, dumb fuckers = not offensive?
I find it very strange to see people getting so worked up about this which I'm sure wouldn't bother the man one little bit yet not having the same bile for the real offensive stuff that has happened to coventry city football club under sisus tenure, stuff that is really offensive to Jimmy Hill.
