Don't McDonalds locate their franchises for financial reasons or have I missed them becoming a charity?

Wasps have relocated for financial reasons.
Wasps appear to have relocated because whatever council they were under down there wouldn't bend over backwards to accomadate them in every way possible......unlike our excuse for a (once elected we will do exactly what we want) rabble of a councilMcdonald's is a franchise in the true sense of the word.

If 95% of the people in the city couldn't give a shiny shite about ccfc, even less give a shite about wasps, so why are the council and partners giving them special treatment?Something like 95% of people in the City couldn't give a shiny shite about CCFC.
Fucks sake, so pathetic that we run around spitting venom at everyone, our own fans, other sports, citizens of the City, whoever, because we're not getting our own way. So quick to call everyone out as a lesser person because they don't think the same things are important as you or don't think the methods you choose are right.
This place reminds me of the Labour forums I go on, just two entrenched sides bickering while Rome burns.
I blame the Internet.
Oh please... you do know Wasps are also owned by a hedge-fund right? They are every bit as likely to play hard ball and seem intent on fucking our club into the dust. They are certainly no better than our lot. The unpalatable question at the moment is; who would you like to win? Their cunts or ours?
95% of the city? I would say that is most certainly not the case.Something like 95% of people in the City couldn't give a shiny shite about CCFC.

What % of our fanbase do you think attend home games?95% of the city? I would say that is most certainly not the case.
Just because people don't go up doesn't mean they don't care about the Sky Blues.
I personally am not spitting venom at anyone, but do feel it is a basic wrong. Sporting clubs are entrenched in our societies and in our cities and towns and are very much part of the cities and towns they belong to.
You can't just go airlifting sporting clubs to wherever you feel.
It sets a dangerous precedent. I hope this doesn't ever start infecting football too.
Wasps shouldn't be here. I understand why the council did what they did, but they don't belong here and shouldn't have come.
It's no spitting venom and it's not getting on a high horse, I just think these are things we should be against as a city.
Bet there would be more annoyance if they were of a lesser profile. Think to a degree we have accepted them because they are good and it looks good for Coventry to have a top rugby side.
If we want a top rugby side here we should be backing Cov rugby and getting them up the league's.
Was about to ask the same!
Was it Tapatalk?

I seem to remember ashdown saying that we had 150k individual customers logged on the system a couple of years backWhat % of our fanbase do you think attend home games?

So that excuses it?I think it would have been different if anybody else other than Sisu owned CCFC.

The council preferred sisu... The hedge fund.
Other people would have bought the ricoh lease at the same time, but it seems that was unthinkable
My point was more that nobody else gets called out on things.Nick, that was in past. If we are quoting what happened in the past, our new stadium should be ready now....

You do understand that isn't damaging sisu , it's damaging the club.You do understand why other parties will not deal with Sisu ?

How is it damaging sisu? The club is already seen as an acceptable loss over a wide portfolio of investments they hold. If it wasnt they'd have cut their losses years ago.its damaging both

It's the club they aren't dealing with.
The same club they all gave speeches about loving etc.

This has caused irreparable damage to the club that will impact the club for decades

That's irrelevant though, Robbie.What % of our fanbase do you think attend home games?
Agree, which is why I was curious to get an estimate of a %. Was trying to work out the fanbase rather than the attendances.That's irrelevant though, Robbie.
There are loads and loads of Coventrians who care about the football club, but don't go to games.
I don't know, but there are so many people I know and see in day to day life (relatives, neighbours, associates) whose heart is with Coventry City.Agree, which is why I was curious to get an estimate of a %. Was trying to work out the fanbase rather than the attendances.
How many people who have put money into SISU fund A are actually aware their money has been put into the club and lost? OSB has said before that money would have been written down long ago.If I was an investor I'd be moving my money.
Given they let a convicted rapist of a 16 year old be a fit and proper owner I think we can relegate your post to the rubbish bin.
If it happens again, I am pretty sure CCFC will justify it this time..So you are saying that the FA is a morally corrupt quango that is unfit for purpose and is allowing our owners to to run the club into the ground at at least once out of town. OK so you consistently rail against a democratically elected body (by you and others), further in deciding planning issues that are governed by the law of the land and not the best interests of our owner who are holding our club to ransom.
Thats quite a leap to condone what you imply is unfit (the FA and SISU) and vilify CCC et al at every turn seeing them as the main threat to our club combined in some sort of fantastic conspiracy to rid the city of the club.
Sorry but i think we should be pushing our owners and those that give them legitimacy and ultimately sanction them rather than looking elsewhere
I think the belief loads of City fans go to Wasps rugger also is big mistake, I doubt out of our 10K gate more than a 100 go rugby as well and there are plenty rugby fans who don't watch footie. As for the OP, direct action will be the only thing that will register i'm certain it will come to that eventually, especially when it comes to where we play our home games in a couple of years time.
If it happens again, I am pretty sure CCFC will justify it this time..
Wasps refusing to talk to them for example.
like not attending a meeting with all parties to discuss the issues that need to be resolved....... ah yes they can do no wrong can they
Not so sure. You have to also reckon for the common denominator scenario of CCC negotiate with Sisu, ACL negotiate with Sisu, Higgs negotiate with Sisu, Wasps negotiate with Sisu.The meeting I said I would have gone to?
Thing is, people don't seem to be able to see that it isn't just SISU is it.
The issue is blind hatred, it is either that or naivety.
Not so sure. You have to also reckon for the CCC negotiate with Sisu, ACL negotiate with Sisu, Higgs negotiate with Sisu, Wasps negotiate with Sisu.
The one common denominator being Sisu's involvement.
I am sure some people look at see Sisu involved in everything that breaks down.
