You organise a protest and I'll be there!
It is wrong that Wasps are here.
What are you going to do about it?
I can go live with that.
Both moved for business reasons.
Sisu to get the Ricoh cheap and 'maybe' help CCFC
Wasps to get a permanent home and not rely solely on ticket revenues.
One did it properly the other over did it.
I will complain if it puts my club at risk.
Rest assured if CCFC move outside Coventry crowds will spiral down worst than before.
On that reasoning, if a new owner of ccfc was to put forward a business case that we'd be better off 80 miles away you'd be ok with that
Rubbish. As has been said a million times. Wasps could have had a stadium in London. They didn't need to move 85 miles, though you will hypocritically defend them whatever, so no need to reply.
Looking forward CCFC in the PL would be of great benefit to Wasps.
As I said I'd be out.On that reasoning, if a new owner of ccfc was to put forward a business case that we'd be better off 80 miles away you'd be ok with that
It's all fine if it's "business reasons" apparently.
So why didn't they do it ?
David Armstrong Wasps Chief Exec in CT said:He added that the he saw Wasps as a real estate business “with a rugby bit stuck on”.
Sorry, I don't understand the second sentenceAs I said I'd be out.
In fact, anybody else struggling this year and saying they are not renewing next season before Xmas rather than after as normal ??
Just reading the rest of the thread and seen this (promise I’m not only picking on yours...you just make points that quell my thirst for a response!)
So we’re successful and it’ll benefit Wasps?! In what world should any self respecting Cov fan think that it would be good for any success we have, to benefit another professional sports team?! “Brilliant, we’ve just won promotion to the EPL and the monies that come with it. Can’t wait to see how it will benefit another sports team”.
Come on Italia...you’re a sensible poster (ie. you’re not ‘gobby’) but really??
Do you think if Wasps won the European Cup, that we’d benefit?! I can give you the answer to that.
Absolutely not.

I usually start moaning about not renewing my season ticket about March. I'm a little early this year.Sorry, I don't understand the second sentence
Just read a cracking article about Cov in The Rugby paper.
Title.
Coventry roll on after Wasps give them a sting.
It is all about how Cov have been pushed into overdrive due to local pride caused by Wasps moving in
It goes on about how The once Proud Cov were the Wasps of there day.
How they are attracting over 2000 fans how they may spendd 1.5 M on a 4G pitch sprinklers and new floodlights
I would post it on here but not sure how to do it on my phone.
Unfortunately, the way forward is us to just be purely tenants, struggling on with wasps benefiting from us being here and us stagnating in the lower regions of the football league.So the way forward is mutual destruction ??

So why didn't they do it ? It wasn't to spite their fans, Sisu or CCFC.
Perhaps they couldn't finance it or perhaps they didn't want to rent off a football club.
The Ricoh was a cheap option and vacant thanks to our idiot owners.
It remains a risk based on success but it seems to be going to plan.
Welcome back.
Going to plan at the JLR stadium is it?
Why, did they rename it while I was away?
Or is it we are still waiting for CCFC to sign up for a long term deal ?
You will need to wait until Sisu go for the new sponsor (or take my word for it !!)
Thanks for the welcome .... I'm touched. (waits for reality ..............)
So nothing in other words......You organise a protest and I'll be there!
Delusional fareThe usual dulusional fayre.....
Fare enough....Delusional fare

Finger pointing is your limit.
I agree, there is nothing we can do about it now but I still think it is right to challenge the notion that it is okay for Wasps to be here. It is amazing how many people I have met in both Coventry and Birmingham who go to their games but don’t see that there is anything wrong with them being in Coventry.You and others are right but surely it's about where we are now rather than how we got here?
I am not going to waste energy hating Wasps and wishing they would be elsewhere as it is not going to happen.
We need to look forward to how we can get the club back to its rightful place. Brighton went through its own hell and are now in the top tier, we should use them as our template.
With or without Wasps, Sisu or a new owner the club needs its fanbase to move beyond NOPM.
Rubbish. As has been said a million times. Wasps could have had a stadium in London. They didn't need to move 85 miles, though you will hypocritically defend them whatever, so no need to reply.
We had a couple no one bothered.went on last sisu out march and if there's anything ant-wasps I'll be there too!
So they could have had a stadium in London how much would it have cost?
The land alone would have been dearer then the Ricoh.
Not sticking up for them, but honestly people keep say in that they could have moved to london.
A Club that supposedly had little money moving to one of the dearest areas in the world great business sense thar would have been.

I would think they moved to where they thought the best deal for them was. (I am not saying that is right or ethical).
I would of thought out of spite to Coventry City FC and SISU would have been pretty low on their list of priorities.
Personally I was disappointed at the lack of protest from their fans. I even joined their forum to stir up some rebellious support. It just didn't happen, the dissenters were well in the minority.
Makes you realise how good some of our protests were despite certain fans trying to ridicule the efforts of many.
wtf are you on about ?So if sisu moved to Belfast with the FL permission and they could build a cheap stadium and make a return you’d support that?
Or if Huddersfield town found that they needed to move south to a bigger stadium to be a premier club for the long term you’d support that?
Wow you and fisher are two peas from the same pod. He’d say exactly what you’ve said if we moved.
Surely the best way to vent any anger against wasps is to get up the Butts and support Cov rugby. Not only sends a message but gives financial help to the true rugby club of this city.
