Totally disagree, the real danger to Cov rugby is if they become a feeder club to Wasps, a club resembling nothing more than the franchise clubs reserves. In that scenario who is going to support their second string when they can watch the first team in the same City. Cov rugby need to treat them as competition and remain as independent from this sham as possible, maintaining their own identity and true affiliation with the City.
tbf, in Cov Rugby's position, what can you do?
Fight it and see your complete air supply cut off, or try and make the best of a bad hand?
The aim behind my OP was about CCFC not CRFC! The position with CRFC is depressing enough, but unless something totally unforeseen happens Wasps are going to get 100% ownership and we are then left at the mercy of 2 mysterious hedge funds (or similar) neither of which gives a damn about CCFC. I remain mystified as to why anyone thinks the Wasps deal is anything other than bad for CCFC and why GBTTR and the Trust are not organising something
Their academy or just the first team playing side? I would imagine that they're leaving the admin side of things in London. Who would want the dingy offices at the Ricoh
I understood the RFU can decide which academy but could be wrong. It is a fact that outside the top 2 leagues they take little notice of the other teams situations
Slight correction -
Currently, Worcester are designated as the club who have priority for Academy players from Cov and surrounds
The RFU sliced up the regions some 10 years ago
If WASPS move they will need the RFU to redesignate their catchment area - which will upset Worcester

Who cares? Sh*t sport.
As I've just posted, this thread is supposed to be about CCFC and why the Wasps deal is bad for us.
I suspect they will stay as they are for a couple of years and then the RFU will decide everything needs to be reorganised and Coventry and surrounding areas will fall under Wasps.
West Midlands Wasps ?

How well are the catchment areas actually enforced? What happens if someone from Cov went into Wasps academy, would anything actually happen?
It's all too predictable - Wasps are doing a good PR job and will promise everything is going to be wonderful, with a heavy emphasis on getting a big crowd for the first game(s). But Wasps are only interested in Wasps and as time goes on they will be able to control things as serves their interest. What about the Henley Academy for example? Same applies regarding CCFC. Wasps will say all the right things about wanting to work with CCFC but reality is they want 100% not a 50% share and Wasps will do what is best for themselves. Any idea Wasps will in some way want to help CCFC is absolute nonsense
As has said on here before they do actually need CCFC they use the Arena even less then we do, So renting out lets them play there for free?
You need to keep your tenants sweet, if you want to keep them, so why would you do anything to harm them as in turn it harms you?
But Sisu now need to come out with the full plans and all the details of their new ground, until then no one will ever take them seriously?
It has all taken too long
I have just brought another it house has taken 4 weeks to complete?
I know the comparison is slightly different, but if you want it and push enough it can be done, I know people who have brought land and built houses on them and the lot was done within a year?
