But he said Wasps' relationship with Coventry Rugby Club, who play at the Butts Park Arena, could be "a very positive one in the end".
But as I said on another thread, this is the Wycombe area and Wasps shouldn't have been there anyway.
If Wasps move from here in 5 years are we going to bemoan the fact they are going to break links here?

Yeah, people moaning about their club being moved miles away from what they see as its home. Can't imagine anyone in Coventry expressing that kind of view
That's kind of what I am hinting at. Surely the Wasps tenure at Wycombe was firstly, wrong, as it was moving 50 odd miles away and 2, temporary.
Can't see how people in Wycombe can bemoan losing a team that wasn't even theirs!
If Wasps leave here in 20 years time I will most certainly not be moaning about them hurting our local community and breaking links. They are not a Coventry club. Wasps were not a Wycombe club.
You're coming across as a bit of a Franchise Fan, to be honest.

How?
Isn't he saying it was wrong for them to go to Wycombe, let alone come here?
Try telling that to 80% of their fanbase in Wycombe.
Exactly what I am saying. They shouldn't have been in Wycombe. Though I have a little sympathy, I cannot see how they can moan too much about a club that doesn't even belong there cutting links with that local area.
Once they have been here a few years they will be a Coventry club. In all but name they will be Coventry Wasps. If they think it is in their interest, they may well change their name eventually.
They have a Wycombe fan base?
Shouldn't they have been anti franchise and not supported them? Unless of course they were Wasps fans before the move.
By your answer you're assuming that everybody that is against the Wasps taking over the Ricoh is anti franchise.
Will any of us ever accept them as a Coventry club?
I'm not assuming anything. I would want and expect everyone to be anti franchise though.
So you're against CCFC,because both Fisher and Waggott have both used the word franchise at various times to describe the club:thinking about:

I'll be more interested in knowing how they are getting on, and if they do some cheap tickets for schools I'll probably take the kids to watch, but ultimately I want Cov to best the best team in Cov, and I hope they get a chance to reach their potential.
So no one should watch the World Series or Super Bowl. As those sports are full of them
So what happens if Cov get promoted and Wasps get relegated (or allowed to)?
Why would I believe anything they would say?
Franchising is wrong. Seemingly though, to some, it's fine having a club come in,but when you have one taken away it's a completely different thing and becomes a problem.
How so? By saying Wasps shouldn't have played in Wycombe and that they shouldn't be playing here?
How on earth is that pro franchise?
In what respect?
They could be in the same league, and with Cov becoming a feeder club would Wasps just take all their players?
But that is the States. Completely different countries and cultures. Can't compare to entirely different cultures.
It's happened with regularity over decades over there, here it is much more a rarity.
So what happens if Cov get promoted and Wasps get relegated (or allowed to)?
Rubbish when they play at Wembley you can't get a ticket for love nor money so those going are supporting Franchise sport. So as it is not our culture Wembley should be empty bar a few Yanks that live over here.
Or is it because it is American it is alright.
Sorry more fuckin double standards.
You ether agree with franchising or you don't.
I for one don't watch the WS or the SB.
