Why would it, extra support/ money in the coffers, Jon Sharp has always been clear on who’s this City’s rugby club, be great to see another few hundred on the gate next weekend backing Cov.
I know there is that aspect.

To me it isn't much different to people who only bother with wasps because the think it gets at ccfc.

If that makes sense? If people have a genuine interest in rugby then of course go and watch crfc instead of wasps. If people are just going to stick it to wasps then if I was a cov rugby fan it would be a bit random.

Is my idea at a nice approach of requesting support so naive? My suggestion for our demo was fill the Ricoh. It seems we only know one way of protesting cave man style.

Yeah I get that but if Cov’s gates doubled for a game to 4,000 while wasps ‘pack out’ the Ricoh....

It’d certainly raise questions, show this City is United to its sports teams!

As Cov Rugby’s hashtag after the wasps move happened is #OurCityOurClub
Is pretty relevant to CCFC now

The council is a fucking joke to let this happen. The city of coventry football club shouldn't be allowed go out of business by two hedge funds fuck the lot of them it's an insult tw the good people of coventry the fans who have supported this great club through thick and thin. Bunch of useless pricks in govt not getting involved

The billboard on the corner of the Rowley’s Green industrial estate could be a prime location for publishing Ann Lucas’ statement about how the sale mustn’t affect CCFC. Crowdfund to have that up?
I think wasps Own them don't they? I'm sure it was mentioned before

Why whenever the subject of the trust openly suggesting a boycott will you do anything to divert the topic?
I'm not diverting it just putting an idea over like the thread has asked.
Btw I dont think it will work just like it didn't work at sixfields.
And anyway why would you take any notice you never have before.

Hardly stupid . . I am a new poster on this forum and the overall experience is one of why I was only a reader for many years. Why is the need to have to result to insults its ridiculous.

I understand a debate but to jump straight in with insults big man are you.

Anyways to cover your point CCFC had the same opportunity and our owners chose their path and hence why were in this situation.
The deals never not been thre the fact is that it came with clauses and sisu have not stuck to them and are trying to spin that they are being evicted . . Fair enough we are but its self inflicted and we wont move forward till they are gone.
If I was the landlord I would want what's best in the interest of my business and that would be to not have court case after court case and costs mounting up when I don't need them.

Wouldn't that take the piss a bit? People going to support crfc as a protest against wasps?

From the eyes of cov rugby I mean.
Lots of City fans go up already and they always mention the city score over the tannoys, never hear theirs at city.

I agree with this as I think it is more important to appeal to these people than alienate them. I have tickets for Accrington next week but would be happy to attend the Wasps game on the Saturday when we play on the Friday.

There would have to be hundreds of us to do this successfully. About an hour before Wasps home games we sit down across and block the road at all the car park entry points ( and exit points so they cannot swerve us). When / if dragged away by police others take their place. We totally fuck up their fans getting to the game

That's more aimed at their fans than the decision makers though.

And are their fans going to take this sitting down?
What would you do if someone tried to stop you going into the ground to watch City.

It should be escalated to the point where we would mobilise to block turnstiles to their last games and tell them it will keep happening until we get a deal. I’ll go up and polyfiller their locks every week if we went bust.
I suggested this weeks ago. Any action taken in or even near the Ricoh during a city match however small is arrestable and the possible consequences of that is atleast a bannimg order at a rugby match that law isn’t there, in fact outside as long as it is peaceful the old bill won’t orvshouldn’t get involved

Would affect the decision makers as well unless they go by bus to games. And who cares about their poxy supporters anyway.

Depends. Actual Wasps fans, no point upsetting them. If you can target just the plastic ones then crack on ;)

We keep being told “less talk more action”. I agree with this approach so I think we need to be more direct. Stuff like today. A march before maybe too. Everything would have to be lawful and respectful of traditions (e.g. be quiet during kicks). If cost is an issue we need to try to get hold of some of these free tickets. If someone can point me in the right direction on that it’d be useful.
I saw that someone was suggesting getting the other EFL trusts together and trying to gain support for a demo at a Wasps game. We ve given support to Blackpool, Charlton and had bucket collections for Northampton. Plenty of clubs with awful owners, can nt the trust lobby them ?

Its complicated getting a joint protest everyone has diff opinions on who is at fault. Therefore it needs to be a message of something everyone agrees with which is us having a home to play at next season (at least i hope thats a mutual agreement among us). Otherwise you get everyone fighting on different fronts, no focus and then people picking and choosing protests if its only against the one they think is at fault!
