Wasps average so far this season 6295
Sat chatting { drinking way too many beers for a school night} after our golf AGM last night. Me, a Villa fan and 3 Leicester fans. The chaps are all decent and not anti Cov types and they honestly cannot believe what has become of CCFC. It doesn't seem five minutes since we were a similar club to LCFC and a tad smaller than AVFC. The Leicester lads cannot believe their luck and the contrast in fortunes between us. Their mouths were agape when I tell them about the 100% Wasps ownership and the proposed ground changes etc.
You'd like to think this is the low point but I fear it will actually get worse before it gets better !
What are wasps doing that makes us jealous? They've only sold a few tickets for the first match? I don't understand.
You know what is puzzling me is after what has happened in the past 10 days is that there has been very little from the club by way of communication to keep the fans on side. You would think after all that bad news and bad press etc that they would be fighting back but there is nothing of note. You would think that priority would be positive news stories, something of substance on the way forward, I know it has only been a short while but there is nothing. Or should we conclude they are stumped as to the way forward?
The club website has got news of award nominations - one of which made me cough and splutter. That said Pat Raybould deserves hers certainly. But alongside that is the news is of goals scored in training! in 8 v 8 games!
Surely more than ever it is important to retain the fans, bring them closer to the club, not let them drift away. The club has been so poor at communication and therefore inclusion and in developing belonging and partnership
I am puzzled but not shocked

Why bother? - everything they do is met with a tirade of abuse on here and the Telegraph - cant even half fill the ground with £5 tickets so not sure what you want - other than a bloodlust to sack the manager.
OSB58 - I worked for a company taken over by private equity and these people were focussed took chances but generally were one of the smarter more savvy operators I have ever dealt with, I always thought SISU had a trick up their sleeve, some master plan that they would deliver on, I am now convinced that they are utterly bereft on ideas or have any plan to manage and save this club
hard to escape that thought isn't it, everything they do seems to fall down. The problem in part has been that there is no sense of compromise evident in what SISU do even when it is falling down round their ears!

Probably not a popular comment but as Wasps branding takes over Ricoh and SISU get zero revenues from the stadium, the more I expect them to move CCFC. I don't see they can afford a new ground so a franchise out seems likely. MGI won't mind if they can franchise in a small EPL club instead.
CCFC's best hope is this rugby franchise fails and MGI agree to sell sometime in the future.

Nothing wrong with being biased against Wasps. I can't fucking stand them and it would please me no end if they went out of business.
Seems crazy to me at times.
'You were standing with your legs apart rather than together, penalty!' Easy 3 points.

Your right they should carry on and do as they have always done.
If it's not broke don't fix it.........
You really are an idiot.
And the Reason they can't half fill a ground is what???
Why Bother!! are you for real? Treating the fans as idiots, treating everyone with contempt and hatred, ignoring the situation and or coming up with bullshit responses is what has precipitated the 'tirade of abuse'. They have continued to demonstrate a fundamental disregard for the fans, or, is it that they are clueless and just do not know what to do next? I'm not sure now. I'm equally not sure if I should admire your dogged determination to stick up for SISU or to pity you. The picture I have at this moment is of a poor shaggy dog that keeps coming crawling back to its owners on its belly with its tail between its legs and getting yet another kick in the bollocks, running off yelping only to repeat the process.
Sorry to piss on your chips but just bin told they have sold 18000 so far for the match against the paddys. Lots of local Rugby players are going to experience the day, one told me he has been offered a half season ticket for £90. I am not trying to wind it up, just pointing out what our shower of shit owners could have been doing rather than litigating.

Leave and take their fan club with them ?

They are run by people that seem to know what they are doing. And they own a stadium that should have been ours.
Do you need any more?
Look what WASPs have done. Look what SIsu have done
Chalk and cheese
Why are people singing the praises of the Wasps owners anyway? If SISU tried to permanently relocate our club 90 miles away they would be rightly slaughtered by 99.99% of the fans. When someone else does it, it's a master plan.
