So now with the Ricoh being a Rugby Franchise, it looks like Wembley will be the new franchise for the NFL Team from 2018 so is this the future of sport as we know it.
FA say it is worth 3 million per game.


So will that mean we all have to stop supporting England as well??

I stopped supporting England ages ago, complete waste of time.

Its not just us, the "39th" prem game is a mear start of some teams moving away from their homes in years to come

Yes Business now dictates to our sports rather than just support them. There are many on here who have bumped their gums about franchise teams, MK Dons and Wasps. The reality is they are only doing it to win an argument over their SISU v CCC squable. They don't really care.

If SISU were the main tenant at the Ricoh and brought in Wasps most fans would think it was great as it would benefit the club. They wouldn't care about the effect on Coventry Rugby, most would just say I don't follow Rugby.

Never supported England. Always been CCFC for me. I wouldn't walk 100 yards with a free ticket to watch England. They aren't my players. Give me Johnson, Jackson et al over Rooney and the others I can't name. Pah!

At some point, hopefully, we can stop fighting every battle and just concentrate on football.

If I didn't read any papers, bulletin boards etc I would just walk up the Ricoh and watch CCFC in their stadium.
Just like when I was a kid, the kids of today have no idea whats going on and just enjoy watching the football (?) and their heroes.

May I add kids should go free if accompanied by an adult.

Are you Scottish, Welsh or Irish? No I agree torch, I support the National team but they don't ignite the passion and those friendlies

So because you don't support them it is all right ?

Franchise anywhere but in my back yard?

Not saying I agree but that is what this argument is all about really. If it had been at the Villa or Brum we would have been quite happy with the situation..

Nowhere as good as us, Coventry gets £6miilion pumped into the local economy with just 28,000 Rugby Fans apparently.

Just as I thought, hypocrites just because it is not in our back yard and doesn't effect us it is OK.......

Need to look at yourselves then stop moaning.

Time to support the team and just forget all this shit!! No wonder our fans are dropping like flies.....

Lets save it for the next fight this one has been lost..
