So with ccfc presence hypothetically swinging such a big deal in their favour would the club actually get their fair %? I reckon the answer would be...no.

I doubt it, Wasps own and occupy the retail unit. How would the club shop have moved back in there?

Hummel doesn't have a direct contract with CCFC anyway does it? CCFC uses a 3rd party similar to the Justsport arrangement.

I have had my upgrade call from Vodafone and told them to do one, I stated I don’t like that you sponsor Wasps and the bloke said I have a few people not renewing over different sponsorships

I’ll definitely be doing the same when my internet contract comes to an end.

Glad I left Vodafone in January now. Ironic they're sponsoring a nomadic rugby club yet showed no willing to retain my services after being with them for over 15 years.

To be fair, I left them before this was announced but yeah, I think so.

Saw plenty of City in town pre match and there were a lot fans in Digbeth post match. One pub there were a fair few ordering food and we had a bit of a post match sesh, a good bit of money which would normally have been spent in Cov.

Our best bet is that the EC rule that it was unlawful state aid, make Wasps cough up the extra £27m or give the stadium back to the council who then have no choice but to sell to the club or give us a proper rental agreement
Only if you have principles

Getting upset about a telecoms company who may or may not be sponsoring a stadium, and then making a point to tell someone who works there on first line support exactly why I'm leaving, isn't that high up on my list of principles to be honest.
Sorry about that.

You do realise if you haven't bitch slapped somebody who works in Sports Direct you love Mike Ashley?

He asked me why I told him it’s really simple and hurt nobody I didn’t shout at him or be aggressive
I think it was part of the deal that never happened (the original 5 year proposal that was on the table last season) that there would be a retail unit opened up for CCFC. It wouldn't be in the current unit, it would be elsewhere in the complex. That's not to say I buy the idea that the retail partners are upset about this.. Given the positive press the new kit has had and the high sales, I'd imagine they're quite happy.
Ha fuck off, you're messing right?
You aren't serious, surely? As a grown man (presumably) you won't use one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the world because they sponsor a hated rugby team? A telecommunications company that couldn't give a fuck if you died tomorrow?
A telecommunications company that if every single person who lived in Coventry stopped using them they STILL wouldn't give a fuck...?

I'm not sure why you're getting so over excited?
Not over excited just find it crazy that grown adults wouldn't use a certain firm because they sponsor a sports team they don't like. I'd expect it from a teenager sure but an adult?

I gave one of my reasons for leaving Sky was that they had ruined football.
Not the reason I left them. I left them because they’re robbing bastards.

Same feelings about the Sun and Scousers?
Woah...that's a very different scenario. I think it's a bit distasteful to even compare the two. Won't get into another Liverpool debate but I think that's a whole different thing LG.
fuck me there are some cretins on here.... if someone wants to end their contract with vodaphone because they sponsor wasps then fair play, if they get asked why they are cancelling & tell the person at vodaphone why then fair play.
Will Vodaphone really care if one or two people cancel because of this , most likely not... would they care if the whoe of coventry cancelled their contracts, you are damn right they would, is it going to happen, of course not
Does it affect any of you keyboard warriors if someone decides to cancel because of their principals - no.... sit down! or maybe just say 'Fair play , if thats your stance' not start ribbing someone. bellends

It’s interesting though. That there is a line and people see it in different places.
I think the more people that push back on the larger companies on these sort of things the more impact it can have.
I know within my company we are always looking at themes and trends and getting feedback on competitors and why people are choosing them over us and if a number of people cite that reason it will filter back.
Fair point but you're talking about a sporting debacle based around a stadium and a rugby team vs. the deaths of innocent people..apples and oranges.
Bellend? How grown up. I wasn't ribbing anyone...certainly no name calling...The irony of being called a keyboard warrior by someone calling people cretins and bellends.
Just shocked that people would go to these levels as if they think it matters.

If Wasps were sponsored by Ben and Jerrys I'd probably be more likely to go with a Haagen Dazs but that's more of a throwaway 'fuck wasps' than any claim of principles, after all I assume at least three children worked themselves to death making my trainers and if they didn't I DEMAND to know why they were slacking off.

I just go for the cheapest option when my renewal comes up. If this time it's Vodafone then I'll move to the 2nd cheapest and if they ask why I'll say they sponsor London Wasps. Don't give a shit if it makes a difference or not, just rather give money to a company that has nothing to do with them.
