Bunch of bandwagoners, probably first time they've been to the Ricoh since the Gillingham match, won't last. If we win tonight they will all be at the JPT area final as well.

CCFC could do with a few Bandwagoners

Probably because they've given so many FREE ones away!

You weren't complaining when your bum boy Timmy was practically begging the locals on the streets of Northampton to watch the City for free at Shitfields. Smacks of hypocrisy from you yet again Chambers!

Yep and SP will be a God no doubt. Never mind, I have my Wycombe Ticket stub and season ticket to guarantee my seat thankfully. They used to be called 'once a season-ers'..I doubt it's even that anymore!

Lots of people want Wasps to fail so the Ricoh becomes available again.
The problem is Sisu begin the process of getting the freehold again at the expense of the club.
... and it goes on and on and on ...........and on

So you just added on the bit about people wanting SISU to get the freehold when it really means people deep down want CCFC to own it in some way rather than a random rugby team? It makes it so much easier just saying it normally.

We can continue with years on the downward spiral or start to ride on the back of a successful Ricoh.

What do you think Sisu ?
Click to expand...

And how exactly do SISU 'ride' on the back of a successful Ricoh? As it stands the club will gain precisely nothing from how well Wasps do - all of the money goes to them.

As for Wasps being nomads, that's absolute rubbish used to justify supporting a franchise. Far better for those propounding this to man up and just admit that they don't give a toss about the fans left behind, than to spout this line.

well 3500 were given away free to schools and junior rugby clubs and then there are the exisiting season ticket holders which I think is about 1500-2000 so on that basis and lets give it a bit of breathing room over 15,000 have been purchased as one off tickets for that game.

Dont forget that kids go free with a paying adult, so this would drop the figure a bit further.

Some people want them to fail for the way they have shit on their fans and our local, you know the one that is from Coventry, rugby club. It doesnt sit well with me and many others.

Lets hope that some other Sports franchise doesnt move another team here, say Manchester City set up a B team and fancy playing their second team full of star players at a ground with Sky Blue seats, as half the people in the City and on here would cream themselves silly to get a ticket and watch the new sports team.

But the Telegraph says sold 22700 so it must be nearly sold out then so no need for anybody to contact Wasps to try to get any tickets:sarcasm:

The local press seem very interested in this group is it because they believe they might sell a few more papers?

When I walk past the paper in the shop and pick it up for a quick look the page with their beloved Wasps on will just be another to skim past.

I am happy to admit I would be delighted to see this Wasps lot fail but I don't want Sisu to own it either I was quite happy under council ownership.

One big reason I don't like Rugby as a sport and also these people that say a Rugby player wouldn't dive etc, no just punch, poke each other in the eye and fake a blood injury so honest lot really!

That would be wrong, would like to think the ticketing system / club shop can see previous purchases and if somebody has been to 28 games they get priority over somebody who has been to 0.

It's a shame that the Wasps fan boys haven't been bleating on about free tickets being given away. Other club's fans would be pissing themselves reading this forum, it's truly embarrassing that there are so many trying to defend the whole situation with their hypocritical stance.

Got offered 4 free tickets today at work today but not interested... Was going to get them and give them away but realised the boss man would wonder who the strangers were next to him instead of me and the family

All it takes is a finger buffet for some. Not me, I would need a year's free pass at Cosmo before giving in.

Well I wish them every success.
Look at Coventry RFC's run recently. Inspired to do better...& compete with Wasps.
I wish THEM even better success!
Ultimately it all raises the profile & highlights the potential for support in the city.
Maybe it'll inspire a good owner to come forward that will put us back where we all feel we really belong.

Nope, to be fair they are doing exactly what SISU should be doing at a bare minimum. Just don't see why they need to bullshit about it.

I agree with your comment but in his defence did he just say we are not a PR machine. He probably like you just said is just doing what is normal as oppose to what we are used to.

That's to local schools - there are other free offers as well and another deal is a free ticket to the next game if they pay £15 for this one.
