More Wasps BS? (71 Viewers)

[Nick]

Can anybody imagine if Fisher had joined the board of a school and then it turns out SISU are going to buy something off the same school and kick loads of sports clubs out?

Gilbert and the Telegraph would be tweeting 100 times an hour about it,

Interesting that the people campaigning have managed to get it on Midlands Today:



There's even a Leicester City Academy scheme against it:

The Trust get things on MTD and ITV... just only the stuff that suits their agenda... they have been very quiet recently.
CJ... what are the trusts views on this from Wasps, as it is similar to them being a major factor displacing CCFC from the City?
Anybody tried copying in Cov Tel on Twitter... ??...... lol.....

Again, is the Telegraph's Rugby Reporter going to quiz them on it? I doubt that very much.

The trust are still too busy giving wasps a round of applause

Surprises me that their fans aren't bothered in the slightest when they get up to this sort of thing. Not a word from them when we were kicked out of the Ricoh, when they got Leamington Archery club evicted, when they stitched up Old Leamingtonians or this new training centre.

I'm not saying if Fisher said we've got a new stadium but its going to screw over someone else that everyone would be against it, sure there would be some who would be fine with it, but there would definitely be questions asked. Look at when there was talk of moving to the Butts, numerous posters said they'd only be in favour if it worked in CRFC's favour as well.

He is pretty much a company man too

They probably don't know, the same as Les Reid was making up about their accounts being fiddled

The only mention of this on their forum seems to be someone saying its something that's been made up by Les Reid.

Exactly, just like their players leaving was sisu.

They aren't the brightest.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Strange that none of this is in the telegraph yet. It’s almost as if they have a pro wasps bias.

... oh look, I’ve gone all tin foil again.

Pride of Coventry

 

[fernandopartridge]

So they are going to launch community efforts into Solihull and Birmingham, presumably that will reduce such efforts in Coventry meaning even less community benefit locally. A whole new area to give free tickets to though. I really hope their planning application is given a rough ride by the people of South Warwickshire. It’s a new low, kicking the local community out of such a facility.

Knew that was their strategy with this

 

[fernandopartridge]

Good bloke the Midlands Today reporter, from good stock

 

[Frostie]

I was at a business event some months ago & "A chance encounter" is exactly how Nick Eastwood described being offered the Ricoh too.

Thanks to everyone for sharing and discussing this. As posted a few pages back(when I got back from the Colchester game), I am one of the people running this campaign. I'm a Cov Kid and fan, who moved out to Henley a while back now. We are desperate to keep the only communal sports facility for miles around, and need all the support we can get. I won't go in to the ins and outs for legal reasons, but we had a meeting with them the other night, and were told that if they got planning permission for the site, we were not welcome. Please support our petition and share with anyone you know. We are starting to gain a fair bit of local coverage and are on CWR at 7 in the morning, and Midlands Today tomorrow at 6-30. PUSB

Good luck and signed along with shared.

good luck with stopping these scum bags getting planning permission. I have a feeling they won’t get it. Hopefully they will realise then that they aren’t wanted in these areas and go.

We all know the "Waspograph" wont touch it....or will twist it round to hide the essence of what is going on.
Russ, if you can get them to cover it properly, you will have done a damn good job. They are a pro Wasps/anti sisu paper. Might be worth highlighting on further public platforms if they DON'T cover it adequately......
You are doing a Great job... so much better than our own "supporters trust" who also won't touch/have anything said about W**ps....
Keep up the good work Russ....!!!!

“Coventry Telegraph supports Wasps removal of disabled basketball team

The telegraph are reading this thread and will be even more entrenched with wasps.

ive said it before on here and I’ll bang the drum again. Is anyone from the telegraph receiving benefits from wasps such as season tickets or free tickets or even anything else as this is becoming now obvious that the telegraph isn’t represented the Coventry public or reporting negative news on wasps.

They aren’t a local rag anymore and I’d wager Wasps are their biggest sponsor by a country mile. Why do people act surprised when they aren’t dishing out top quality investigative journalism of their primary income?!

just coincidence mate.
Those of us who think the CET is a wasps/council mouthpiece are just tin foil hat conspiracy theorists apparently.

Which is said by people who all seem to have council links and want to sweep things away.

Don't live locally and I've never been to Henley but I've just signed the petition. Good work. Keep it up.

Does Les Reid know? I'm sure he'd be glad to publish something, surely?

 

[Tommo1993]

Signed a while back, and shared on Twitter. Hope it’s on all the other social media sites too. The recognition can be pushed a lot further I feel.

Contrary too popular belief the vast majority of Wasps fan do actually have sympathy with your plight and some (i have no idea how many) have voiced that opinion to the club, Wasps need a training ground asap but not at all costs and this location seems less and less suitable by the day.

Maybe they can try to blackmail all of the clubs there that they can still train there as long as they go to every Wasps match?

It's usually their style.
