We're fighting a losing battle, other than the few loyalists like a few of the people on here the coventry public don't want a professional football team it seems.
Any new ideas?Not everyone knows the full details. With a concentrated campaign to get facts in the public could sway opinion. Also if a few ex-players joined the campaign that would certainly help. Callum Wilson backing the campaign for Wasps to withdraw the application to protect the very academy that has given him the platform to show the football world his ability that was nurtured by said academy would carry more weight than fans saying it.
Isn't that what he's done? He's asked them for their proposals and they won't provide them.
Any new ideas?
I'm definately in with Zack ,Grendel and others.
It's time to get a bit militant on this, DEMAND ANSWERS from the council ,Wasps and the council Telegraph.
And yes DEMAND ANSWERS from SISU .
We should aim if no answers are received to make Wasps stay and their bi weekly visits from their London fans as uncomfortable as possible.
Thats what we all wantHave we got anyone on here that has any idea about planning applications? In either how we can hold it up or how we can get it rejected? People have made objections, does this definitly mean it will go before a comittee rather than an officer?
Do we have any details of the netball teams who use the Higgs? Is it just casual games or is there a league? We need to hear what they think of the proposal. If they have been given alternatives by Higgs. If they have been consulted. Would they consider putting a statement out objecting to the plans?
The city of rugby plans. Someone put a link up earlier and I couldn't see anything about CRFC. Now bearing in mind Millerchip owns the lease as to secure the future of CRFC and heads up the city of rugby scheme, why is there no mention or little mention of CRFC. Surely to secure the future of CRFC, having them at the forefront of the scheme along with Wasps would help do this?
I don't claim to know everything, sometimes my annoyance and frustration gets the better of me. All I want is the clubs that bear this great cities name to have a prosperous future. For fans to be proud of their clubs and city again. To walk into work on a Monday morning head held high.
Not sure about the fans bit. Make Wasps and their owners squirm, but Tony and Jim from London who are coming up don't really deserve to be uncomfortable.*
*Tony and Jim are generic rugby fans from London.
None of this is their choice. Also to be fair I get the impression the families coming to see wasps come from all round the Midlands
Not London
Predominently CV postcodes I believe
I'm sure it's 92% from CV postcodes. Think it came from Wasps too. Happy to be corrected though.
Was there a thread about this pool and plans by Wasps back before Xmas?
If anybody can find it would you mind bumping it.
Wouldn't mind having s butchers to see who was actually in the know back then.
That's another question they need to answer then. Why are they using Higgs land when they have purchased land for themselves.The ST land has apparently been bought by Wasps. My theory is this has been bought with moving their academy up here in mind. Use Higgs land for their training centre and ST land for the academy. Just a theory though. Si80 is certain a deal has been done, just not been confirmed publically.

No, it was CV & B post codes - an area of over 2.5 million people.
Absolute morons

Could the trust contact other midland rugby clubs and see if we could get them involved/join forces?
I know it was mentioned several times that Worcester were unhappy.
My favourite line is "Thankyou to ccc and wasps for sticking up to the schoolyard bully"Absolute morons

For a start it doesn't make sense, and secondly, you call them morons stu. I'd call them complete cunts.

The posters on there are beyond help.Whilst the football club they proclaim to support is being bullied itself. SISU started it though, sir! All very playground behaviour.

STW have a box as a handshake for site purchase. Been used all year.
Having at look at the site boundary though at Whitley pumping station, it's not a lot of land that looks to be ex-STW / now Wasps. I can't remember when installing meters on that patch if we had to get permission to put a chamber in for one of the meters closer to the Higgs site (still in the fields adjacent to Higgs).
Does the land there or thereabouts have planning restrictions or approvals - is it green belt?
