Just fed up of dragging this out. Everybody is banging their chests when in reality nothing has changed.
It's done and now we have to make the best of it and concentrate on getting a buy in by CCFC by Sisu.

Nothing will change what has happened and to be honest CovRFC and Wasps are not really protesting.

Of course Cov aren't protesting otherwise they would be finished because Wasps would tie up with Moseley

Hi,

first post. I read the forum quite a bit but don't go to games, as I watch Rugby on a Saturday.
I watch one of the junior teams listed below.

Copsewood
Dunlop
Standard
Cov Welsh
Cov Saracens
Coventrians
Old Coventrians
Stoke Old Boys
Old Wheatleyans
Pinley
Barker Butts
Broadstreet
Keresley
Trinity Guild
Coventry RFC
Cov University

Hopefully not missed anyone.

Coventry has always had a really strong grass roots Rugby playing community. It's great, go watch a match
on Saturdays, it's free, you get to know your team on a personal level. Have a drink while walking up and
down the touchline depending where the action is on the pitch.

Unfortunately as a city we have been so incompetent that we are deemed part of Worcesters catchment area for
youth development. Think for a minute, how very very wrong that is! If a young lad in Cov, is a good player he has to
go and pay for Worcesters acadamy side. When Wasps come then they will in due course (2016) be get Coventry
as their catchment area. I can't prove this but seems it will happen. We heard rumours about Wasps coming at our club three weeks ago!

With the Wasps coming I really fail to see how it can badly impact Coventry rugby. Everyone plays on a Saturday
and Wasps on a Sunday, there is no conflict in terms of taking supporters from the local game.

I will be happy to go and watch Wasps play on a Sunday as I am pretty sure many people associated with local rugby
will. I have no moral issues with this. Bad luck for Wasps fans down south but we are where we are. I may come
across as very callous, sorry about that, just speaking honestly.


To me the biggest issue is for CCFC. Under FFP rules, you can spend in accordance with your revenue and with
CCFC having failed to acquire the Ricoh, they seem to have hamstrung themselves in this respect. I have no
answers to this or any other issue really, I'm just one man, having a drink

Great post and finally a bit of sense about how it doesn't effect Cov rugby as I stated before. It could be a good thing for Cov rugby

Out of interest do you consider yourself a ccfc fan or football fan? Or are you just a rugby fan?

And still people defend franchise support. Makes me sick and just proves how fickle we, as fans are. As soon as franchising isn't ou concern we completely forget it. It's wrong

Responding to the request from the OP, I raised the matter at the Sky Blue Trust Meeting tonight. My understanding is that the Trust Board would consider sympathetically any request for support of this sort from either Cov RFU or from their official supporters organisation (I assume that one exists): so long as promotion to Sky Blue Trust members of a Cov RFU fixture did not clash with a Coventry City home game; and did not actively encourage people to go to the Butts if they were intending to go to a Sky Blues away match.

The Trust Board will not make an unsolicited approach to Cov RFU as it is the fundamental remit of the SBT to promote the interests of Coventry City Football Club and its supporters.

At the first rugby match to be held in December the tust can again stand on the hill in support of angered Wasp supporters, well not on a hill but next to Jimmy Hill.
