It's not impossible to plan everybody to play on Saturday with CRFC playing when Wasps are away. Surely ?
It would be common sense however how often do regulatory authorities in charge of sport exhibit any common sense?
We know that the rugby premiership is prepared to schedule around the PL and FL. We know this as it is a requirement of the PL and FL for clubs to have primacy so its the only way groundshares are possible and there are several clubs who make use of this.
Can't think of any example of the same applying with Premiership and National League sides. I suspect the Wasps fixtures will be set first and Coventry will be left with the job of trying to get fixtures moved they clash. If those in charge are prepared to schedule to avoid clashes you can be sure it would have been mentioned rather than a vague promise to minimise the impact.
The bit in bold is not true!! They have not discussed this with CRFC
Most people on here do not agree do they?
I might have to read it again but I'm sure it said they would only play games on the Friday if we didn't have a home fixture that weekend.Bit like when CRFC had been fully consulted about Wasps being moved here despite them not knowing anything about it!
The part about Wasps potentially playing a Friday night when we've got a game on the Saturday is concerning.
Not being funny but if the Rugby authorities couldn't care less about thousands of Wasps fans in London and Wycombe being abandoned by the club there would seem to be very little hope that they will be bothered if one of CRFC's fixtures clash.

Surely we're against businesses distressing others to pick them up cheap?
Ah, the old flip-flop routine. I will believe Fisher when it suits (we will never come back), even though it was stated it was for three years (maybe five) and then they would come back to the "Coventry area". New stadium?Nah, won't believe that one.
Coventry City were NEVER going to stay at Sixfields permanently. Wasps have moved permanently. There is absolutely ZERO correlation between the City and Wasps situations.
Was that a permanent move?
Where was it said it was a permanent move? I thought our owners were liars? It was promoted as fact by some people we would never be back, sisu fc etc.It was promoted as permanently away from Coventry by our owners.
You sometimes say weird things like you believe Wasps should change the colour of the seating, then cite the new stadium as the reason yet you've just said you don't think it is happening.
Then when I said by changing the seating you risk upsetting some of there new fan base (and target fan base) as they have a lot of new fans from Coventry and will almost certainly have had some sort of affiliation with Coventry City over the last 5 years (and certainly more than they had Wasps). You said I was talking nonsense.

We're in big, big trouble then. I don't want to see a future at the Ricoh with Wasps.
Corrected that for you and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we don't really have any other options.
Haven't they said they aren't interested?
Were they? Was that before or after they said they weren't interested?They were a few short months ago
These threads and the recent interviews with Derek Richardson are difficult I know for you and others who back Wasps over their own club. He's finally admitted why Wasps moved to the Ricoh. Money. He said that a team cannot survive without owning it's own stadium and 365 revenue. You may have to go for a lie-down.

When was this?They weren't when they were quote the price,surely any award winning journalist could confirm.
Surely if it was common knowledge it would have been leaked by people not wanting owners who bullshit and move teams about who are outraged by the thought of it?

It was a temporary move to sixfields, if it was full time I'd never have gone. Turns out I was right.
Would I be close if I said that those people probably don't think much of our current owners?You should take a look at the comments section of the CT, every other post is someone wanting Wasps to take us over.

You can fuck off with the "you believe TF when it suits" bullshit. Whether I believe him or not has nothing to do with it. He's the man apparently in charge and HE moved the club out of Coventry and then told us we were relocating to never never land outside the City.
You might have been happy to go to Sixfields and give him the mandate to do this but I wasn't. You only have to look at how the maverick the decision to pursue the JR to see that we are not owned by people who make good decisions and if we'd have turned up to Sixfields 7000 strong we'd have run the risk of saying "well this was a bluff but the fans are buying into it so lets look seriously at it". Think about that for a minute? A bluff that became a reality. Describes the JR perfectly IMO. I bet they're still cursing that judge who (for reasons no other judge seems to understand) said "you know what, there might be something in this. Yes you've won your appeal here's a date for the JR". The other danger in attending Sixfields was the FL/FA going "you know what, them Coventry fans don't mind travelling to home games. Fuck it, SISU can build the stadium where they want". Think about that for a minute. The FL and the FA, two more organisations not known for making sensible decisions.
Very rfc esque of youI've given you the bones ask someone closer to put the flesh on them.

I guess Wasps will be one weekend and CRFC and CCFC the other.
Tempted to play your "you only believe SISU when it suits" card but change SISU for Wasps. But I won't.

I said it was a temporary move, was it a temporary move or not? Was it ever confirmed as full time?
Why so touchy? It quite obviously was temporary wasn't it, hence we aren't playing there now, and it was never ever confirmed as a permanent move.
Very rfc esque of you
We ain't playing there now thanks to the majority of fans who wouldn't give them the reason to continue doing so.
You're welcome, by the way.
Why is it? I don't want to take the credit that would rightly belong to any investigative journalist worth his salt,who should be straining at the leash to get his teeth into such a thing
