He already has in this threadI'd like to hear Jan compare it to the Gillingham game as that would of course be a fair one since they are similar occasions. I'd also like to hear what he thinks about Wasps permanently relocating when he opposed Northampton so vigorously.
Don't ask those questions though Conn, it'll rock the boat with Woody.

Alan Dugdale: I would like the Trust to give the club the same leniency it affords an imported franchise.
I don't doubt they do, it's the posts like jans. They quite clearly love the club which I think can sometimes blind people.I would expect a Coventry City Supporters Trust board member to care more about Coventry City FC than Wasps RFC.
Wouldn't you?
I don't really care about the level of respect Wasps have shown their fans - thats between them and their fans - I do care about CCFC. You don't oppose moving to Nuneaton even if it might kill another team and its not in Coventry? Sad and selfish.
If my comments shame the Trust then report me to them, oppose me in the elections, come to meetings and make your point to other members.

You mean the two trust board members who are season ticket holders at the club and go to most away games, who have been to one Wasps game and are not Wasps season ticket holders as far as I know? I'm sure if Wasps were responsible for our demise then they would be getting the same level of grief from everybody including me but they are not.

If Wasps treated their own fans awfully why would you encourage CCFC to deal with them?
They have not held Wasps to the same standards as they hold SISU.
Defending his hypocrisy now?
Didn't know Wasps were co owners of CCFC when did this happen? The bastards right I'm going after them now co ruining my club
The thing, is even.more worrying if he wasn't trying. If he was doing some bhsb last fishing I'd take my hat off. By not seeing how bad that post looked it worries me more than him doing it just for the reaction.I don't think Jan was trying to get the over reaction his comments have caused, especially with you Nick. Wasps whether we like it or not will attract some city fans, they are offering top flight sport for less than some are paying to watch the turgid offerings on the pitch on a Saturday. My son and father are both season ticket holders but went out of curiosity as they had never seen top flight rugby, they said it was a very enjoyable day out. My son would probably prefer to go to watch the Rugby, his reasoning was that the atmosphere was great and the action was exciting, two things that are missing from our games at the moment. At the end of the day Our club has been bled dry and reduced to rubble by uncaring owners, the vitriol of fans on here should be directed that way, they have had enough and Wasps may be the ones to gain from this but its not their fault.
Because CCFC has no choice?
Defending his hypocrisy now?
Hypocrisy is defined in that post about being sad and selfish.Hypocrisy would be for him to pretend he cares as much about Wasps fans as he does about City fans.
A hypocrisy seen all too often on this website.

They are encouraging CCFC to start building bridges with them, see fit to invite Nick Eastwood to a Trust meeting and so on. Stop taking things to the absurd extreme and see that there is a clear double standard here.
Must look up your posts regarding London rugby clubs playing in Oxford and Reading etc bound to be loads even Wasps to High Wycombe.
Do you know what was said at that meeting with Eastwood?
They have a choice to pursue a new ground. If Fisher demonstrated it made more economic sense for that than renting from Wasps would the Trust back it?
Hypocrisy is defined in that post about being sad and selfish.
I know Eastwood denied that Wasps were a franchise that had a PR machine.
IF being the key word.
I would expect the club to choose whichever option made the most economic sense. For me it is a no brainer, getting a good deal at the Ricoh will cost far less than a tin pot ground in Nuneaton.
If Mr Fisher wishes to produce figures that show the opposite to this, then I am willing to look at what he has to say.
This would be on the condition though that it was economic sense of CCFC and not just Sisu.
Who is defending that?Hypocrisy is also defending the poor innocent Coventry Rugby Club when 15 years ago they were planning this:

If this were a rugby forum you might. Although you will find a good number criticising Warwickshire for rebranding as Birmingham in the 'other sports' forum.
As I've said before they don't need a PR machine Sisu do all the PR for them.
As well as jan, Steve and intheknow...As I've said before they don't need a PR machine Sisu do all the PR for them.
So its not a rugby forum when it suits ok
Who should we be fighting? Encouraging a boycott of Wasps would benefit CCFC how?
I believe that a deal over access to match day revenues is possible but unless you ask you certainly won't get. Its down to negotiating the best possible deal for CCFC.
This is a comparison, which situation gave that rush... wasps try or jacksons equaliser?
In my opinion the root cause of our current situation is SISU
None of you answered my question before so I'll ask again did any of you give a toss when Wasps,London Irishetc were moved before? Where was your moral indignation then? When people last season said why not go and watch Cov how many of you said you didn't give a toss about Cov its a different sport,now all of a sudden you're concerned brilliant.
I don't really care about the level of respect Wasps have shown their fans - thats between them and their fans
I do care about CCFC. You don't oppose moving to Nuneaton even if it might kill another team and its not in Coventry? Sad and selfish.

Who is defending that?
Why would I post about London Irish on a Cov City forum?
I can't understand who people who I believed to be intelligent can't see any difference between a London rugby club moving to Coventry and us moving a couple of miles outside the city boundary.
You don't think CCFC playing in Nuneaton will impact on Nuneaton Town?
That's the whole point. With franchising the distance is immaterial. Its the damage it does to the club already in the area that is one of the main concerns.
Why should Nuneaton Town suffer because Sisu wrecked our club?
