So they only have access on match day revenue? Are you sure?

I would also hope we don't go along the lines of Sixfields and go for the scab comments for anyone who goes to Wasps. (meek, sheep, those few who are killing the club etc. etc.)
Let's show a bit more class this time, eh?

So you admit you support the notion of franchising in principal?
No idea, just know they are one of many who do not own there home stadium.

Technically of course, Wasps don't own the Ricoh... only the management company.
Any idea what rent, if any, has been agreed for ACL to pay CCC for that, btw?
Do not start that with me , I am putting my personal views.
this could be very good for Coventry, the club and the City.
doubt it will get to that situation again, we have to all move on and go with the times.

I agree, everybody can do as they please and shouldn't be abused for it. Although if they were themselves abusing people for going to Sixfields then it may raise eyebrows.
I wish you were.

Yup, those who abused people for going to Sixfields deserve everything they get
Those who didn't however... hope we can all live in peace, and accept at the end of the day it's how people choose to spend their money on their leisure pursuits.

Exactly, fair play if people want to go and if wasps fans want to go and follow their team. I hope they do.

Technically wasps don't - hardly the point though is it?
Depends on the deal. If you are in Nottingham the club has access to all revenues and pays a fraction what we paid. Even better at Ipswich and better still at Swansea.
It's the deal that counts and ours was dire and still is.
Nick, people like me will not be going to follow the Wasps exactly, it's to watch quality Rugby. Just like someone may go to watch Barcelona play.

So wasps are like the Barcelona of football are they (sorry I don't know much about rugby but I thought they were more like Hull)

Swansea have a 25% share Ospreys 25% and Swansea Council 50% in the stadium management company.
Swansea also pay £1M a year towards the stadium maintenance costs.
You talk rubbish

What did people go to sixfields for? At least that was to watch their team
May not have agreed with them going but it was there choice.
my friends who went to games are still my mates and always will be.
no idea what either are like as only ever watch one football team but trying to explain I will go to watch a quality game of Eugby (I hope).
at same time Cov Rugby are also playing some decent rugby at present.
like I said earlier, also want what might benefit the whole City.

Swansea, ospreys and council own 33% each.
Have you got a link for the £1m a year stadium maintenance costs? I can only find this..
The clubs also contribute over £1m a year to the running costs of the stadium with any profit made being returned to the teams and the local authority. which to me could mean the clubs combined, not each individually paying that.
Out of interest did you know that Swansea took £6m revenues out of the stadium last year? So £500k rent plus upto £1m stadium costs doesn't look so bad when you're net profit of at least £4.5m.

Provide a link they pay anything towards maintenance as I can't see anything on google unless the stadium doesn't make that in profit.Where is that from?

Of course, it is people's choice what they do.
When people tweet and retweet things like this though:
Then say they are going to go to wasps because they want to just watch rugby (when they dont even support that team) does raise an eyebrow doesn't it? Especially as people were mocked for watching their team play at Sixfields.
If somebody like Wingy, OSB and the many others who quite clearly disagreed with Sixfields but didn't have digs at people who went want to go then fair play to them. However if people were throwing crap about then, but then go to watch Wasps they do look like plonkers don't they? (Not that Wingy or OSB are, just the first 2 people I thought of who clearly disagreed but never took it to a personal level).

Very good except I'm not going. You see Nick people keep referencing me or showing photos with me in them and when I react say "but we didn't mean you"

Can't you fucking read :jerkit:

Yes, it is implying that people who went into games were not proper city fans because of them still going in?
Edit
You have also said you aren't going, then fair play to you.
(Sorry, I missed that bit as it was hidden in amongst my quote. I take the plonker thing back) :jerkit: indeed!
To clear it up, I am not saying if people did have a go at Sixfielders they are by no means allowed to go (I have no authority to tell people what to do) or that I think they should fall under a bus of anything. Just can't expect not to have a few of their quotes thrown back at them can they? All tongue in cheek.

I'm still amazed how many of our fans are on this franchise sports crusade, hope none of them ever went to Mk dons. If SISU owned ACL and invited WASPS to play, demonstrating that the shared costs would be beneficial to CCFC as it would allow more money to invest in the team.
I recognise that this is a highly unlikey scenario (SISU investing in the team or owning a stadium) but the Franchise Crusaders would they be out in force !! but as I believe its the Sixfielders trying to throw their anger after backing the SISU strategy which has failed and lead to us losing any chance of owning the stadium.

tbf, it's almost tradition for me to bore people to death about how they shouldn't go there, whenever our fixture comes up!

Who has backed the SISU strategy?
You will probably find this "crusade" was usually in reply to people who gave people who went to Sixfields shit but then posted about going to MK. The same as when people posted demanding NOPM and then posted about going to Arsenal.

I know bored me that much I fell asleep this season and missed it.
Shouldn't we all also boycott the home fixture as isn't that also promoting franchise football?:thinking about:

Same as the ones who went to Sixfields and gave everyone else shit for not going or for doing various demonstrations then the ones who moaned like shit about the Wasps and then never turned up to demonstrate.
Goes both ways Nick.

Yes, it would be the same as people having a go at others for not going to sixfields but not going themselves now we are back.
Your examples aren't really the same though are they?
