Both SISU and Wasps have got off far too lightly in my opinion. I do think people have reacted stronger to SISU than Wasps though.
If people had been as venomous against our owners as they are about a team who play a sport they care nothing about, maybe the outcome would have been different.
You keep bringing up Morals and principles !!
Stop fighting Wasps fans battles, the majority don't care.
To some of you yes to me No.I rarely bring up my own morals or principles, when I do they are consistent.
The thing is though, other people don't seem to be very consistent and seem to want to get their views from what other people do.
If CCFC moved 80 odd miles, changed their name and got loads of new fans who loved it. Would that be OK? MK Dons get bigger attendances than AFC Wimbledon, does that mean that was OK?
I think it's a distraction technique.

Just the move would kill the club to me never mind a name change.
For that reason I do not support the Wasps.
May go and watch then though!
Only when they play Cov in a couple of season though
agreed, it is a lesser board. That's because its about wasps and this is a ccfc forum website, clue is in the name
It would be interesting to see if Milton Keynes decided they needed a rugby team and decided wasps were perfect and they gave the owners lots of his favourite stuff (cash) how many of these new loyal followers would go with them.
I moved it about 10 minutes ago when ccfcway said, I haven't been on much the last few days and haven't been at a computer to do it.
I'm not loosing anything either.
You can't loose something you never had
Nick will move it as soon as he starts loosing the argument
There is more chance of CCFC going to MK than Wasps. Take it from me Sisu have considered it.
Wide fan base? They averaged 6000 you plonker. You really chat some shit.
an argument that shouldn't take place on a ccfc board
50% of their fans signed a petition demanding they stay in the area - funny how in every post you keep saying you don’t know about rugby - not interest in wasps but post far more than about ccfc games - laughable really
To be fair, the wasps forum is tightly admind, and I remember from when I looked when they first arrived people were quickly booted off and posts deleted on any remotely negative. For all the shit nick gets we're lucky he pretty much let's anything go, unless its illegal or libelous.50 per cent may have initially signed a petition, but out of interest I have just scrolled through the last 25 pages of their forum and there is not one thread showing any protest about Wasps being moved or playing at the Ricoh. That for me is proof enough there is no longer any active protest by Wasps fans. I suspect a good
percentage of that 50 per cent were Coventry City fans protesting the move like myself.
Very disappointing response by their fans from the beginning through to now.
Good to see Coventry Rugby crowds and revenues have actually gone up since their arrival and I hope that trend continues. With the efforts of Jon Sharpe, Lara Hunter and Rowland Winter the signs are it will.
I'll help.
They had attendances of 6000 at Wycombe.
The petition had 3000 signatures.
Where it falls down though is a lot of CCFC fans signed the petition as I guess would Leicester, Worcester and Northampton fans.
More interesting at the time was a poll by the Coventry Telegraph asking readers would they welcome Wasps to Coventry and 53% said yes.
Successful Move ? 6000 average at Wycombe and 16,000 in Coventry.
Sometimes people just need to see the bigger picture.

No it's called applying a patently untrue interpretation to selected factual data to back up a relatively baseless claim and hoping no one will properly research the issues and expose the nonsense for what it is. Notice the source is never referenced because it makes it harder to locate and debunk it. He does it all the time.Ah so he is just guessing. Thought so
Ah so he is just guessing. Thought so
Cov are doing well, that is nothing to do with wasps. It's down to rowland winter. Why didn't the council consider selling the Ricoh to cov? Giving them the extra revenues? Which they are trying to do at the butts.
Bloody hell do you not miss the irony of quoting Italia to try to prove Grendel wrong, by saying he is guessing, when Italia clearly says in his post he is guessing at figures in the petition.
So you are laughing at Grendel 'guessing' whilst using the figures of someone who is clearly guessing to prove him wrong. I would give up Dongo.
Ah so he is just guessing. Thought so
So you are now trying to push credit to wasps for cov rugby doing well? Bit weird.Well apparently more fans are going to CRFC partly because of their disgust at Wasps arrival but also after the Northampton debacle so maybe SISU and Wasps have helped out CRFC. Didn’t Wasps lend CRFC some players in the past as well?

I thought you weren’t bothered - as for guessing a petition has 3,000 signatures which is 50% of their crowd. So it’s a fact.
There were 2,960 signatures when it closed. I’ve linked a post they said 2,700’already.
What’s your agenda eh?
