It's a bit different as Nuneaton fans have always been close to a professional league football club and made the choice to support Nuneaton and not Coventry. Whereas Local Rugby fans have never had the choice to make as Wasps were 80 miles away.To be honest with I don't think hardly any. I thought the same about Cov Rugby club as well. However I can't see how someone who thinks wasps coming will have a massive impact on CRFC wouldn't think the same about CCFC arriving in Nuneaton.
I doubt it would steal many if any of Nuneaton fans in the short term, but what say in 20 years time? Over time would you see a slow dwindling of Nuneaton fan base as their new fans decide to follow Coventry instead, it's hard to say?
I would go to a stadium in Nuneaton at least initially but it will be a disaster for the club based on this thread, I also thing long term rental would resign the club to L1 for the foreseeable future for the club. We either need to build in Coventry or get a stake in the Ricoh, neither of which seem likely.
