They were told years ago and they didn't want to believe.

They were never ever going to be able to sort out the bonds.

It's been on the horizon for years.

I thought they may have refinanced on even more punitive terms but luckily they weren't able to kick the can.

That debt was never going to work.

I don't swear much unless I'm really angry, but I'm extremely happy with their demise. They can fuck off.

We could never be so lucky.
I have the distinct impression, as a near-lifetime follower of both CCFC and CRFC, that this whole sorry saga has some distance in its legs yet.
I'd be very happy to be proven wrong; today, preferably, but I'm not counting any chooks yet.

Willing to bet this thread still has legs though.

Little did I know at the time that this thread would run for four bloody years. I’d of wished it hadn’t as it would of meant the bastards would of gone earlier.

The reason why they failed was simply the Coventry public already had two sporting clubs that bore this city’s great name and represents the people of Coventry.

How dare they rock up with a ‘we’re here now….roll up, roll up’ attitude.

The Coventry public won. Well done everyone (inc Grendel).

The most beautiful thing about it all for me is that nobody outside 50-100 twitter based fans are actually bothered that they’ve gone pop.

When Worcester were going under there was weeks of coverage from outside sixways, groups of fans protesting, volunteering time to get games on etc

Their fans are just as complicit as their incompetent owners in letting their club die, shown zero fight at all on top of delusional lapping up of dribble from owners/board over years.

League 2 Bury going under got 10x more media coverage than this pathetic excuse for a sports team

When's D Day V2? I thought we would hear about their relegation once another game was cancelled at the weekend.

Not really news to anyone but now official. Wasps netball done. Bet the side that got kicked out of the SuperLeague to make way for Wasps aren't too happy that they lost their own team for nothing.

It is a shame. I saw the enthusiasm for the game during the Commonwealth Games. They were pawns in Wasps efforts to establish themselves as a sports club. It seems that there is no appetite for this with any new owner. I think the CCFC is the only show in town. SISU may already have sold to Ashley, contingent on him acquiring the stadium and all assets.

Wasps' new stadium. The pitch is already wrecked so they don't even have to do that.
