I didn't want Wasps here in the first place.
That ground should be CCFC's. I struggle to forgive our owners for the manner in which the negotiations were handled.
They created the opportunity for Wasps.
I can see why Wasps did what they did. So I hold no animosity towards them.
I wish they were not here certainly.
I can also see why the council did what they did.
I can see what our owners were trying to do, however the devastation that action has taken on our club is what I struggle to deal with. Far more than wasps been there or the CET and the council promoting Wasps.
utter bullshit.
I won't forgive the club for temporarily moving to Northampton (to create said oppurtunity) but I won't hold any animosity towards Wasps for moving permanently to Coventry..............
Fucking backwards.
They are both cunts.
The hypocrisy is laughable, isn't it?
It is indeed. I can't see how you can agree with one but not the other? You either accept it all or you don't. You can't pick and choose because your daughter got free tickets for a month or some other bullshit excuse.
I genuinely think people are more connected to the Ricoh than the team it was built for.
The hypocrisy is laughable, isn't it?
It's different.
CCFC are our team and they were moved.
The real reason people object to the Wasps move is that they have taken over our stadium.
At least get the cause of the fight right.
Moving our team to Northampton was unforgivable yet Wasps fans seem quite sterile in their fight.
I see it as a way to show dislike for SISU for some. If it is somebody "against" SISU then by supporting them it is some statement. It is just strange how a lot of people so vocal about SISU and Northampton are now so passionate about Wasps.
There's a guy I saw on Twitter the other day, he has gone from some pretty sick stuff about people who went to Sixfields to being a full on Wasps chuffty.
Just like people who dislike CCC seem to dislike
Wasps and some come out with some pretty suck stuff.
It is different because it is permanent and it was to try and aim at a bigger fanbase with no regard to their current fans. It is worse.
Surely people would say it was wrong if they moved to Wyken or Binley?
It is just strange how so many who are so vocal about Wasps now, were so vocal about Sixfields. Very strange.
A lot of Wasps fans I speak to, say that at Wycombe they were minutes away from administration/relegation only 2 year ago and that the move to their own stadium was essential.

Isn't that the argument SISU made about why they had to go to Northampton, as CCC wouldn't entertain them having their own stadium...?

Yes they wanted to be in West London but that was never going to be possible/affordable
Seems to have been possible for Brentford and Wimbledon.
More, the answer is Wasps did not want to, rather than were unable to. And if the club was close to administration, that was because they were spending more than they earned... the same as we did.
Therefore, the logical conclusion is we should buy Ibrox.
(Anyway, this digression is another reason why a Wasps board is vital, as I've got sucked in to the same old same old again!)

Time will tell whether it was the right thing to do but its a good start.
Moving us to Northampton instead of buying into the Ricoh when they could was a massive miscalculation by Sisu and may yet be the end of this club.
Same way I don't agree with wimbledon/mk dons nor do I agree with Wasps.
Personally, I'll never set foot in Stadium MK. I also felt dirty cheering Chelsea on over the weekend...
It's the bigger picture that's dangerous. If a club moving itself unilaterally becomes a success, then all failing clubs with no physical ties find it easier to do the same...
And how could we complain if CCFC then decided a move to Windsor Park offered them a bigger potential fan base and more revenues, if that was the accepted way a club worked?
They couldn't. When you take the Wasps situation and just change it like you did to CCFC and a place 80 miles away, put it to somebody who is keen on Wasps being here then the view suddenly changes.
I still think that the "get as many to MK Dons as possible to show SISU for moving our club" was a bit strange.
Isn't that the argument SISU made about why they had to go to Northampton, as CCC wouldn't entertain them having their own stadium...?
CCC always wanted the club to have the stadium. Sisu thought they could get it cheap and dirty and that changed CCC thinking. As a CCFC fan you can put a vague case for Sisu but as a tax payer you will logically back CCC. Based solely on numbers it was the right decision.
The difference is, SISU said it and not somebody else..... Which just adds to the hypocrisy.
He will now say CCFC don't need their own stadium, they just need to work with Wasps. Which totally contradicts his other post.
Never said they don't need there own stadium. I said from where we are what is the best thing to do. IMO the stadium as proposed by Sisu is not a good option vs the current deal at the Ricoh. But distort it as much as you like to try and put it that Sisu had no choice.

No I won't back CCC, as they sold the stadium cheap and dirty (according to popular valuation) anyway, without taking into account the cultural heritage of the city. And that cultural heritage is what a city is based on, its identity, the recognition it gets across the globe... the intangible things that you may be able to skew short-term by inflicting a club such as Wasps on to the city, but long term will end up embedding the identity as transient, blurred, unclear, vague.
And that will be far worse to the taxpayer long term.
So we need to wait for a stadium to come up for cheap and move away.
Wasps bought it at a value Sisu were not prepared to pay. A value driven down because we were moved to Northampton and hence market value at that time.
Can't happen financially and certainly with our profile no fan base. We already know CCFC fans won't travel.
Nor do wasps fans, lets just move like Wasps did to a new town and get some new fans. That seems to me what you are suggesting.

WE need our own stadium, end of, whichever way you dress it. We will always be a pauper to Wasps otherwise, and a slave to SISU.
And a value far cheaper than that most were demanding SISU pay, where the taxpayers were, apparently, suggesting the city should keep hold of said cultural asset (that offered a return to the taxpayer) unless a vastly higher fee was forthcoming from CCFC/SISU.
