So now you are saying people have unlimited access to cash and would not pick or choose? Long term of course it will have a damaging effect. Are you seriously telling me if say Barcelona or Chelsea were franchised and played in coventry that would not reduce CCFC attendance at all? Really?
Me going to Wasps isn't going to make a difference though is it?
Yes it is because long term it will add to their strength. If there was an F A cup equivalent and CRFC and wasps were drawn together who would you support?
I have zero interest in the sport but I'd go to that and cheer the team with coventry heritage for all it's worth. Would you?
Wasps aren't going anywhere so whether people go or not wont make a difference.
I wouldn't class myself as a rugby fan, but the only club team I have ever gone and actively supported is CRFC and that will never change. Wasps was just a day out.
People are saying there is no chance of Cov ever getting to Wasps level but they aren't that far apart are they? If Cov go up and at some point Wasps go down aren't they in the same division?
Wasps aren't going anywhere
It is interesting that a large % of those that do go (on here anyway) were VERY anti Sixfielders and the people who went to Sixfields.
All the things like "just a day out", "just watching top class rugby" is flying around but anybody who went to Sixfields supported "SISU FC" etc etc.
Which one is it? If you go to watch Wasps are you just going to watch a game of rugby (Which I personally think is fair enough and that is all it is), or is your attendance supporting Franchise Sport and promoting teams being moved (as people said people at Northampton were doing). Just remember what people said when somebody who went to Sixfields said "I just want to watch my team", they got mocked and called all sorts didn't they?
I'm clueless about rugby but I think it's a closed shop in the top league. The team going down has one point.
It's all a bit Mickey Mouse with amateur teams outside the few elite who can't compete. Look at their World Cup - also rans make up the numbers to drag it out for a couple of weeks.
I wonder if there was an F A cup equivalent and wasps played CRFC who the likes of Ron, Italia etc would support on the day given they embrace franchising in sport as a concept.
You attended - I never would as I find it morally abhorrent.
