From the CT story it isn't just Wasps in their consortium, but who else, dunno..
OOh, not some shady anonymous businessmen, I hope. Even more opportunity for double-standards.
Sisu? Anyone know?
Not all businessmen are shady. Been near SISU too long. If this deal turns out to benefit "the club" and "SP and the lads" , as I suspect, there will be a lot of humble pie being consumed by certain posters and plenty of Double Standards. But we don't know yet. All we know is that SISU are building the P.i.T.S. stadium in a small town or village near Coventry , according to the CEO, and carrying on with the JR. I doubt whether we will be worse off than this as a result of the Wasps action.

"We are not interested in a groundshare, which is prohibitive in terms of helping us to become self-sustainable," he said.

Who would you all rather have take a chance on the Wasps connection and their owners or stick with sisu.
Well given that the owner of Wasps says he wouldnt want another team sharing their pitch and will want to only consider a stadium near London probably sisu.
The Wasps connection easily. I can't see an astute businessman coming out with a statement like that, he knows the resident football team takes priority it is part of the conditons laid down by the football league, he also knows he needs to get extra bums on seats at Rugby games. these guys don't amass their wealth talking silly.Well given that the owner of Wasps says he wouldnt want another team sharing their pitch and will want to only consider a stadium near London probably sisu.
What about you?

No sisu use other peoples wealth, there's a difference.Why not Sisu did
You keep going on about it being outside Coventry which you have an issue with but not too fussed about Wasps being moved in, in fact often defending it.
You are right about the Double Standards by the way.
Ah so our move would be fine if it was a bigger stadium we went to? I'm trying to understand.I have an issue about our predicament. Wasps have a different predicament. They want to better themselves by having a better stadium to cope with increased success ( their aim and hope ). We want to downsize from a stadium in our home town - not much hope or aim for success.

He's pointing out that the owners of Wasps have more ambition for the club they own than the owners of our club have for the club they own. Demonstrated perfectly by the difference in stadiums each party are threatening to move their club's too.
Yes and my point is they are still moving a fair few miles away whether it is the pingles or wembley. Is it not wrong either way?No you're not. You're trying to twist word's but for what reason I don't understand. An ego boost maybe?
On the off chance that you are too stupid to understand what he's saying I'll dumb it down for you.

Top class Rugby Union imo will attract crowds far in excess of 5000 at the Ricoh, Wasps will never accede that at Wycombe, They will have done their homework and won't be expecting full houses immediately but in time regular 5 figure attendances could happen. Years ago RU was very popular in this city and many rugby followers go to Leicester and Northampton for their rugger, I know a number who will be going.
Is it ambition to leave the hard core of your fans behind, where you play in front of 5,000 or so crowds, to play in a stadium twice the size in front of possibly less fans for league games?
Yes they may get three big crowds for the Euro games, but that is probably it, as Wasps generally these days go out at the group stage assuming they qualify for Europe at all.
This is just to put another viewpoint forward before anyone has a go.
Mixture of glory fans and franchising, sounds right up our street!Yes and beyond. Top class sport will always attract punters, unfortunately when you drop to third tier rugby there isn't the same attraction. Back in the day CovRFU got gates over 10k regularly but had a team full of internationals.

Maybe acl should be speaking to prem football teams too? Sack ccfc off so we can watch top flight!
What a small minded prick you are. So any fan who decides to go to a Wasps match, should they come here is a glory fan, what an idiot. And unfortunately there are Coventrians who now go to Villa, Albion even Leicester to watch top football, used to happen here years ago you could go down to Pool Meadow and catch a coach to any number of local top division clubs.Mixture of glory fans and franchising, sounds right up our street!

Moving a club to get the locals to come and watch is franchising isn't it?Nick fuck all to do with Franchising people keep throwing that word around and then use it as some kind of guilt trick.
Do People not want to watch good quality sport?
Why do the Top Sports teams in the world get the best crowds?
Why do the lower teams get shit crowds?
Fuck me not hard to work out people will pay to watch good entertaining top quality sport.
Why is it in football, Rugby, baseball, cricket, Athletics or any other sports leagues around the world does every Team that gets promoted to a higher league, then attract extra supporters?
