Did CCFC ever do a Ricoh open day?

We had the stadium safety certificate evening but I'm not sure if that was CCC or CCFC.

If Sisu had done an open day at sixfields, would you have been fawning over that too?

There was an open day I still have my ticket for it!

Is there a free lunch ?

Wasps did one of these a couple of weeks ago and all the coaches got stuck in traffic for hours

That was for season ticket holders, this is for non season ticket holders.

I think the point I'm making is the difference between how Sisu and Wasps handle their fans/ potential fans..

Very true, it's even better that they can do it without a pr machine.

I think villa did something like this earlier in the season, I didn't go though as I don't support villa.

Yeah, handled their fans magnificently by permanently moving them 80 odd miles, admitting that they will lose over half of their current ST's over then next 2 years , but hey ho they got a free lunch.

Sisu take note, if you ever build and move us to another ground all you need to do is offer a tour and free lunch and everyone will be happy as Larry.

Excellent Wumming though 9/10!

TBF, Eastwood did say Wasps had a communications office (press office) phone numbers are very easy to find, it is here http://wasps.co.uk/the-club/contact-us

Not sure many will, but I'll welcome you back as a Cov fan when you remove your tongue from Eastwoods arse.

I don't think that there is any doubt that Wasps PR machine is better than SISU's, lets face it they are shit at everything. All that said how supposed CCFC fans are fawning over a free finger buffet laid on by a franchise team from West London that has consigned our football club to even greater levels of insecurity is beyond me ?!
C'mon City, C'mon Cov Rugby, Fuck Wasps !!

It was never our stadium, so nail on the head. I went to that evening too.

You can shove your "oh look how wonderful Wasps are" threads where the sun don't shine too.

Don't see how it's less security.
Sisu were building a new stadium on our behalf from their chosen base at Sixfields at the start of the season ?
Are Sisu not still planning on building a new stadium even though we are back at the Ricoh ?

Wasps arrival made sure we moved back before we had to negotiate with Wasps to get back.
In effect we are back at the Ricoh because of Wasps.

It's an "Oh look how crap Sisu are" thread.

Question. In what way will the new stadium be our stadium ?

Ashdown · Dec 6, 2014

We are back at the Ricoh because SISU wanted to cash in on the ST money ! IMHO This isn't about defending the hedge fund or condoning any of their damaging decisions, this is about staying loyal to your local clubs !

So in Warwickshire which is my local club?
I support Keresley Ladies because my daughter plays for them.
Cov RFC always seem to be playing when the football team are playing so surely they don't want CCFC fans ?

Not so sure about that but see the point you're making .

The way I heard It SISU only asked for a one year deal .

If they wanted to take advantage of dealing with CCC they'd have asked for a ten year deal or more ,erm maybe they are going to build a New

ground ,but again 1yr ,4yr,doesn't give any slippage time .

Why would they only ask for one year ,wasn't because they were forced back was It?

Oh and If they'd asked for a longer deal maybe CCC wouldn't have sold ,but that's just a guess really.

The way I heard it was they asked for a 2 year deal with an option for another 2 years.
I also heard (TF?) say they want to move it out to 5 years.

Who really knows ?

The fixture clash has been a problem this season, that's true.

...... and previous seasons if I remember correctly.
I hazard a guess that more Cov RFC fans will attend Wasps matches than CCFC fans attend CovRFC games.

Nuneaton RFC (or others in South warks) or Coventry RFC or if you were really bothered about PL rugby You'd have gone to Leicester Tigers years ago.

So in warwickshire which is your local football team? You 'support' COVENTRY CITY FC..,

italiahorse said:

That's down to the RFU setting the dates like the FA/FL set ours. Like us they have absolutely no say in when they play their games, WASPs only play on a Sunday because of the ground share (no clashes with Wycombes FL+Cup commitments) and to be on TV.

Honestly one of the dumbest questions I've seen on here.

Wasps aren't in warwickshire either?? You keep going on about not being in coventry so not bothered about cov rugby yet get wet over wasps?

Brighton Sky Blue · Dec 6, 2014

Feed the franchisees, let them know it's Christmas time.

Raggs · Dec 6, 2014

Wasps play on Sundays because that's when the majority of current and ex-STH requested to play. Of course, they may not still want Sunday once it's in Coventry, but that's why it was Sunday originally. It is useful for potentially getting on TV more though.

Maybe because rugby fans are more likely to go to rugby games than football fans.

C'mon mate, it's less security because now the club will never have a chance to buy into the Ricoh streams, regardless of who owns them.

As for Wasps arrival meaning that we had to move back, I can't even begin to untwist that logic. I don't think anyone was aware of the Wasps deal until it was done - probably to stop CCFC/SISU interfering.
