What's the sky blue trusts official strategy on wasps LAST? It's all very well banging on about protests and hiding behind keyboards but if the official body and its head at the time supported wasps and you just say there and said nothing....what does that make you?
Because most on here are all fingers and no action.Like keeps being pointed out to you there's nothing stopping your own supporters group or even running for election for the trust board so it has the influence you keep telling us it's needs. You even started a thread on what you would do if you were running the trust not that long ago, it was pointed out to you that elections were coming up on that thread. Did you go for it? I think we all know the answer to that? Being anonymous behind a keyboard constantly slagging of those get out from behind theirs and do something. You're not much help really.
I don't think so. You obviously know little about rugby supporters.Nonsense.
No it isn't actually I know of ex leicester fans now have season tickets at wasps.Nonsense.
....rest assured we are both wrong .No it isn't actually I know of ex leicester fans now have season tickets at wasps.
Having played Rugby for over 30 years I know a fair few who go to watch rugby.
I have been to a few games in my time watched all sorts of teams play.
Can't remember but may well have watched the wasps way back when.........
No doubt.....rest assured we are both wrong .
Tbf I know you would.That's not unreasonable.
If I had confidence a lot would turn up then I might consider it, although not sure I go to enough City games to have enough authority for people to follow tbh. It's fair to say all things need an institution behind them though, such as the Sky Blue Trust, otherwise it ends up four men and a whistle.
Bit like the SISU Out stuff earlier this season before this weekend - not sure it was any help, if not ended up a hinderance.
I think I'm as "anti-wasps" as anybody but I'm not about to join a march demanding that they leave. What I will do though is politely point out to any CCFC fan who I think hasn't understood, or indeed anyone else I know who goes there, why I think they shouldn't attend. It's their choice though, I don't shout rude words at those who differ! No protest should involve putting money into Wasps, imho - their owners (like ours) are only motivated by money!
For all that I dislike what they've done can I just say that they are a good side to watch at the moment, Dai Young seems as decent a man and as good a coach as I can recall in the domestic game, and I wouldn't want to be spiteful and create a rift between their fans and ours.
My problem is with their owners, and the council who actively encouraged all of this. I've taken the time to express that to my councillors and the leader of the party at the time (and since). All I've had back was a standard response, which made a very big point of saying that it wouldn't hurt CCFC. Hmmm. I've not bothered to write to Wasps, I doubt it would really bother them.
Take one thing at a time, having too many fronts and it ends up dividing people. Our priority has to be getting sisu away from our club, 9 out of 10 fans I talk to seem to want this, no I'll go further I would say 95 out of 100 want it, but on here it seems a lot closer even the bloke who runs the site,Nick, says more about Wasps being here than SISU.
Wasps ain't going anywhere, but once SISU have been sorted and they will be, we can all concentrate on a better Ricoh deal signage etc, for our football club. The ignorance of facts by a number of those against Wasps is really alarming, some for example just can't get it into their thick heads it isn't political, that it was a unanimous decision, that means for those who still can't grasp it Labour and Conservative combined voted for Wasps to come here.
I believe Wasps want ccfc here at the Ricoh, need us here in my opinion. As others have said If those on this site who are the most outspoken about Wasps presence in Coventry want to form an organised group to protest do so in fact Nick or Grendel or Torch or Stupot or one or two others do that. Instead Nick of offering to bung 20/30 quid a month into a fund use another user name and form a group of anti Wasp posters should make interesting reading.
The irony, given half your posts over the years!The ignorance of facts
I said in an earlier post that on Saturday I saw a guy with a shed load of WASPS tickets giving them away to city fans at the match if that is not disaffection our fans I dint know what is.I think I'm as "anti-wasps" as anybody but I'm not about to join a march demanding that they leave. What I will do though is politely point out to any CCFC fan who I think hasn't understood, or indeed anyone else I know who goes there, why I think they shouldn't attend.

The fact that anything with the word Wasp in seems to get your interest, views etc yet anti sisu and your veiled defences of them seem materialise. You mentioned bunging £20/30 a month into a fund if it helped. You Nick support more anti Wasp threads than anti sisu. Regarding another fan group there are a number on here who refer to our SBT when discussing the Wasp scenario, they have enough on their plate, working guys trying to make a difference, I though there was a seperate forum for Wasp threads. As for NortherhWisdom thanks for taking interest in my posts and reading them, I ignore yours, fucking boring

Yes at this time, they have enough on their plate. The Wasp/CCFC/Ricoh issue is not the priority might be once these JRs are done keep your powder dry until then.Can you point out defences?
Yes, I mentioned a fund for things like ribbon and stuff against everybody, that includes sisu.
Is it that strange to mention the sky blues trust when talking about things like this?
Yes

Whats all this latest Wasp bollox again ? They are here, probably to stay live with it ! Our concern needs to be ccfc, it's Acadamy in less than a years time, where we will be playing in 18 months time and the FL will want concrete assurances sooner rather than later. Another nail in the Acadamy coffin today. I firmly believe get shut of SISU agreements with Wasps over Acadamy training and the Ricoh would be a formality. But I also believe sisu will get nothing from Wasps with any hint of continuation of the legals.
There is no fund.
It is just a few of us giving what we can.
The march was Steve to organise and fair play to him.
Even thou he got raped on here by posters that were never going to turn up he put his hand in his pocket and payed for everything.
Steve has now gone so it is up to the few that are left to try and pay for anything that is organised.
We are trying to get to everyone but we know people can't be bothered.
Yes the march worked and hopefully the next big protest whatever it maybe will work.
In between we will keep doing what we can to try and get more on board.
The Wasps are not off the hook but first we are aiming at Sisu.
There are not enough out there yet to protest against the others even the ones on here who moan the most wouldn't turn up,they can't even bother to turn up to the one against our owners then come on here sneering and hoping that there would be some shit between fans.
Well sorry to upset them that is not in our remit.
Also not in our remit is anything that may cost the team.
Anti Sisu songs etc doesn't effect the team no matter how some want to whine.
I did boycott the first half on Saturday entered at half time the atmosphere was dire a few Sisu out chants from block 16 was all I heard, didn't stop us winning though.
As for average fans doing stuff what are the Trust?
They are average fans but these things take an age and then people think they don't work and have time a plenty, When the TV want an interview they give you a time you don't get a choice so time off work is needed.
People moaned about Steve on the TV but as he owns his own business he could get time off
Now we have no one who can do that so it has made it harder.
None of these thing can't be overcome but people are giving up everyday and others can't be bothered to step up to the plate.
So I am still waiting for Torch and Grendel to start the protest against the wasps or CCC I will be there.

Grasping at straws now ? Embarassing[/QUOTE]Also, is "keep your powder dry" the phrase of the day?
Stupot, find me a quote where I have been "vocal" about leaving the city again, my concern is much more serious than that and I have been voicing this for months. If sisu are dragging their heels hoping that at an eleventh hour people power will help a short time cut price deal will influence that I do worry. It isn't just the Wasp landlord involved wish it was we have the Football League too who have already given 4 year dispensation for a promised new ground to be built or at the very least planned. Hasn't happened has it. Remember at the time sisu were asked by the FL for a million puns bond as an assurance, what if they asked for that again ? or worryingly a lot more based on the history, sisu look skint to me.
If you aren't anti wasps then by definition you support franchising in sport and would have no objection if ccfc moved 90 miles away.
Do you not have a problem if that happened then? Extraordinary.
Wasp management I doubt are idiots and will know any action or inaction by them resulted in ccfc having to leave Cov or cease to exist would be a cross to hard to bare.
Fucking hell Grendel you ain't thick, it's in the FL rules that can happen they can't just alter rules to suit. So when asked the direct question can only give the official answer. One question though is where within the prescribed radius. Would be interesting under these FOI rules being probed by the Telegraph questions to all the various councils police forces within if anyone sisu, Otium whoever have asked to play their matches in their area.The FL have already confirmed they would allow the club to move out of Coventry again.
Would it though? They bought the stadium without so much of a whimper from our fans, they're damaging out academy by moving and building at the higgs without so much of a whimper from our fans, they stopped negotiations on a longer deal without much of a whimper from our fans. And they can do all of this as 99.999999% of us all hate sisu and it gives them a nice easy deflection to stack all the blame on. (And no I'm not saying sisu are not to be also blamed)
If they said, sorry but we can't work with sisu, or we can't give what the club needs, the vast majority of the fan base would shrug their shoulders and blame the club/sisu and wasps would once again get away without a whimper from our fans.
