Stop being lazy then and you will see that has been disproved over and over again.

And you have given as many reasons as you can to justify it...

I don't give a fuck how much money wasps have provided. As mentioned by someone else, it probably ain't even there money. It's a culture bid, have wasps provided someone else's money as they have an affection for Coventry culture or because they want some more PR? It is a culture bid, not a how big is your bank balance bid, or how much your willing to promote the bid or anything else. It's about the culture of Coventry, that includes CCFC and CRFC. Funny how people are excusing them not being a part of it. Yet no one is complaining about wasps being part of it just that we're not. We have some very strange fans.

I accept as they are here and providing other people's money, they will feature. Just not at the total expense of the historic sporting clubs. Some seem to be ok with that and are going out their way to justify it.
Just confirming the unpleasant reality. I have being saying for a long time that CCFC should have been involved in things to do with representing with the city in general - and even abroad - to improve the relationship with, and to show the value of CCFC as an advert for the city. Maybe that would have been a low cost way of showing support for the city's efforts. The fact that I have pointed out that nothing much has been seen or heard from CCFC in comparison to Wasps, does not mean I think that it is a good thing that Wasps are getting the limelight.
What it means is, that I am critical of the situation we are in, largely through mismanagement of CCFC past and present, and acknowledge that Wasps have bought themselves into a showpiece bid. Whether we like it or not.
How do you think that the bid charity should have dealt with Wasps money and support of the bid? Give it back and say "no thanks" we are waiting in case CCFC turn up and give a couple of hundred grand? Or say "thank god for that" we have got our starters, help, money and goodwill?

What has that got to do with culture and a culture bid? You talk utter shit. No one is asking the council to invite the club for Christmas dinner. They are asking that we are rightfully part of the bid as we have been part of this cities culture for 134 years. Which according to you and the council counts for nothing. Unless of course you have someone else's money to throw about.

You're on your own on this one, apart from maybe dongo. Who is a self proclaimed council fan so not much more to say about that. The club is part of the cities culture. Therefore should be part of the bid. No ifs, no buts and no maybes.
I just think that nothing much will happen without money and goodwill. Maybe you know better.

Is that what culture is? Money and goodwill?
yes, they should have been in from the beginning. Wasps' support was announced ages ago. There was mention in January about CCFC happy to support the bid, but I never heard anything again.
Getting in a position to present a professional bid requires money and support/ goodwill of backers. Without that, nothing happens.

You don't understand culture then. It's not bought.

anyone ever thought that having an foreign hedge fund who only rolled into town a couple of years ago with their uprooted rugby club might not actually go down to well with the selection panel?

Maybe they are saying the culture of Cov is to steal things from other places?

was going to ask you to add home of free scoring strikers but probably best not to exaggerate too much.

Italia?

Not sure Italia has any of that.
I don’t think so.
I am just saying why I think they are there. It is a fact they are there. We should be there, but there doesn’t seem to have been any great effort to be involved.
Steady on Mart, you know damn well that Nicky will bend over and touch his little tootsies if there is any implication that his favourite buddies at SISU come under any scrutiny or criticism !?
Yes, I seem to getting a hard time for stating the obvious. Still, someone is going to buy the club and we’ll all be home by Christmas..... apparently...

What, it has been disproved that by Wasps sponsoring the bid. They won’t get a mention at every opportunity by the bid team?
Or it’s been disproved that CCFC abd CRFC haven’t sponsored the bid.
Or has it been disproved that Wasps and Ricoh sponsored the bid?
