Surely not a good thing to rely on away fans? It's like us getting Leeds or somebody in the cup, them bringing thousands and us gloating about the attendance.

Sorry your missing the point. They can’t pay back the bond owners back as there there operating profit isn’t enough. You can talk about the gates but there a huge numbers of free tickets included which is dressing up the attendances.

I think the majority agree somethings around the corner for Wasps... and it’s not good.

You don't seem to understand finance, Eastwood & his cronies are all financial people, they know how to borrow money and pay it back.
No way were they ever going to pay back £35M by 2022, they said themselves they'd probably refinance. I bet they refinance in 2019.
Wasps will struggle to repay £35m Ricoh Arena loan, say experts

I'm pretty sure if our next three home games were Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool and we let them have as many tickets as they wanted they'd all be sell outs.

Dream on CCFC's next three home games are Crawley Town, Cheltenham Town & Wycombe Wanderers, that's how far we have fallen during the SISU years.

I can see a 20% offer on their website, but not 35%, in any case so what, it's called marketing, shame SISU don't do more of this.

Why not stick to the Wasps forum then if you aren't bothered about CCFC now and are a Wasps mega fan?

Of course I'm bothered about CCFC, sadly these days I'm an armchair fan, I listed to the games on CWR. I'll return when SISU have gone.

What, like before?

That's the issue when people try to be moralistic and put conditions on things, they end up breaking them.

Haven't been to a game since we last spoke about this. Not even the Checkatrade Trophy Final.
I went to the Gillingham Ricoh return game & the next 2 afterwards, it stopped at that point.

Like I say, I'll be back once I know the club is in safer hands, until then I'll content myself with Geoff, Clive and Stuart.

Course you will, in the meantime you will show your anger about CCFC being moved away and SISU by supporting the team that's just moved in.

Have to hope another team doesn't move closer in the meantime or you suddenly decide you love Netball.

My anger isn't against CCFC, it's against SISU.
I want promotion this year just as much as anyone else who posts on here.
I cheer every goal just like everyone else on here.

Netball? what?

I didn't say anything about going to watch SISU or SISU court cases so not sure what point you are trying to make.

If the netball people give you a free flag to wave you might be all over that sport too.

Nowhere near as petty as hypocrites like yourself.

I must have missed all of those posts you have made about CCFC and our games recently, I can only see the ones you make trying to defend Wasps. So much so you have used / tried to use multiple accounts to try and do the same thing.

Along with the other 15 thousand or so 'knobs', who also don't go up to the Ricoh anymore.

You'll need those 'knobs' one day to help finance the club, when SISU finally do one.

They’d finance the club this year if we get to a play off final there won’t be any Nopm then.

Anyway you’ve had your trolling fun - now piss off.

There's an interesting button on this forum called the 'ignore' button, so don't waste your time replying to my post in future.

You mean on the Coventry City forum? The one you (and the other accounts you tried to use) just talk about Wasps and appear if any nasty people say anything about a team you have supported for a couple of years?

Maybe if you don't like what's said on here, just don't log in?

Grendel might be a bastard but he's a Coventry supporter. You are nothing of the sort.

Go back to protesting about franchising by supporting a franchise you intellectual heavyweight.

I'm a Coventry City fan, that's why I'm on here.

I've only ever used one account at a time, you know the circumstances, it was fully explained to you.
I had an old account, I'd forgotten the password & I couldn't change it because it contained an email address I no longer used, so I set up a new account.

It's a forum, I'm obviously not going to like everyone opinions, I therefore try to put mine, isn't that what forums are for?

I don't have to justify my support of CCFC to you, in the same way as you don't have to justify it to me.

Supporters support their team, they don't fuck of to a commercial rival at the first opportunity.

No, but when you go on a CCFC forum you kind of have to talk about CCFC. That's how it works.

It's a forum, you can choose to post on any thread without judgment.

I don't have much to say on the footballing side, I don't see the games live & would rather not post things like "goal yea!!!, Get In!!!' and all that sort of crap.

My biggest annoyance is with SISU.

Sorry, I find this harsh. Might have a rather different opinion to many, but I do also remember having at least the consistency to avoid the Checkatrade final too.

Many have reasons not to go up. Personally I find the pro-Wasps line a little strange, but in this instance I fear I agree with him and OSB, that there's a difference between hoping they go bust, and expecting them to (as of this moment, anyway!).

Can we get on with the (however unpalatable!) debate about why Wasps aren't necessarily rosy, and persuade peeler in the error of his ways?

I assume Nick is a supporter because he goes to games and talks about the club on here rather than just posting whenever anybody criticises Wasps.
