Wasps have fuck all to do with us. Who gives a fuck what other sports people watch?

no empathy with this fella then Shmeee:

"I have been supporting Wasps for 25 years but will not be following them to Coventry. Absolutely not. Rugby is about comradeship and respect but Waspshave shown absolutely no respect to their supporters. Why would you follow a club that does that on a 80-mile trip up the M1? The club are basically telling the fans who have stood by them all these years that they don’t count anymore.

Rugby teams do not just belong to an owner who buys them; they belong to the community that has created and sustained them over generations. Wasps have now decided to dump the girl they came with and dance with someone else from the Midlands. No one would consider moving Chelsea Football Club up to Birmingham. I don’t know how they think they can do it with a rugby club. Do they think people won’t care?"

but want the world to bring out the hankies when they hear our story?

no. Coventry.

Didn't get into Ice hockey until about 3 years ago. Was looking for a team to support and Coventry had one, so started to follow them, have I done wrong ?, who should I be supporting ?

You should have supported one of the existing ice hockey teams from Coventry that wasn't franchisees in, presumably by the council, the CT or a hedge fund that FP doesn't support ;)

I really can't advise you who you should be supporting because Blaze are the only ice hockey team I've heard of!

There's a rugby club already in the city isn't there?

Unless you are saying sport in the community means fuck all and if this club was moved 100 miles away you'd say "so what" - would you?

So FP. Are you stalking all members of the SBT board or just this particular one?

doesn't that mean it makes sense for me to support them and cheer them on v the rest of the UK elite teams ?
Its not particularly straightforward but the short version is Solihull Barons (who actually started as Birmingham Barons) went bust. A new team was started up intended to be Birmingham Blaze playing at the NEC. When that fell through they went to Solihull as Solihull Blaze.

That was only every intended as a temporary move and when the Skydome was built they moved to Coventry. A new Solihull team, also called the Barons, started up in 2000 they went bust in 2002. They were replaced by Milton Keynes Kings who were rebranded Solihull MK Kings who went bust after a year. Solihull Kings were formed in 2005 and went bust in 2007.

The current Solihull Barons was formed in 2005.

I will support any team based in cov - Cov city, Cov Rugby, wasps, - don't really give a fuck. Just love good sport and love going up to wasps - having a beer in the stands and find it a good change to sitting amongst many of the thick fuckers we have as city fans. Shouting stuff like "forward forward forward" whenever the slightest hint of a sideways pass is made! Or picking on a player for no apparent reason other than we have to have a player in the team who is a villain. It's beyond pathetic at times.
