No, I think we should all meet up to hand out flyers for their games and promote them as much as we can.
Torch is angry, I'm angry also, but my anger is reserved mostly for SISU for not being able to do the deal that WASPS seem to have done, I'm angry at CCC also but WASPS are coming, we need to live with it and move on.
I'm the same. If I want to read high-quality pro-council bullshit then I come on here and read your posts.

It's a tongue in cheek comment, duffer!That's not quite right FP, sorry. In plenty of places, including Coventry, rugby is still a working man's sport, largely supported by the same sort of people who go to football. In fact at Cov RFC it seems like every other person I bump into either used to, or still does go to watch CCFC.
The only difference is that the crowd is a bit older, and can generally handle its beer.
Compared to footy, it makes a change from having to put up with the (mercifully few) gobshite 'rock-hard' sixteen year-olds with a burberry cap, pissed on two pints. Just because there are a few of them I don't class all CCFC fans as knobs though. Fair enough?
What a bizzare response to his post.
Are you doing the opposite then? Are you attending and handing out leaflets telling people the should not attend wasps matches?
What I don't get is why people only ever seem to hear from people who agree with them?
I knew loads of people who refused to go to Sixfields for their own reasons but all of the "I spoke to" type posts are always just there to prove a point to them isn't it?
On that note, I just spoke to 1,500 Wasps fans, they hate the move and say they won't go and the club is nothing to them now.
What are you trying to achieve Don? You've asked peoples opinion, and then seem to be challenging them, yet have make no prediction yourself. Are you trying to big them up? Are you trying to big the council? Me thinks you are trying to wum.

Not as bizzare as somebody making threads saying how proud they are of the council and how loads of people they know want to go to Wasps games
It was quite clearly sarcasm.
For what it's worth, I do think if Coventry City were to somehow benefit from the new 'partnership,' then some may forgive Wasps and start to come round to supporting them ... or certainly not opposing them anyway.
If CCFC could benefit, then shouldn't we all support the wasps by paying to go and see them ? LOPM (lots of.....)
Whatever we think, Wasps are giving themselves 4 years to reach a break even point. I think they have run at a 3m loss in each of the last two seasons. There is a growing rumour on the Wasps forum that they would like to buy CCFC.
Personally I think they would need a few more backers than just Richardson if they were going to purchase and turn our fortunes around.
Torch sorry if some people from Birmingham
Who don't support wasps say they will attend the Ricoh offends you but it is what it is.
It's a tongue in cheek comment, duffer!
Outside of fans coming along with them, I don't really see how people will either switch allegiance due to proximity or suddenly become rugby union fans when they already had close enough options. It's like the talk of an NFL franchise moving to London - obviously they wouldn't take fans with them, and a lot of the audience for the sport here already have their team set in stone.
I'm sure they've considered this, of course.
I can only refer to the few who said to me they will be going to Ricoh purely because it is easier for them.
I do not understand the psychology of rugby fans. However these ones are clearly not tribal in any way or form
My point exactly no particular club loyalty but will make a day of it with quite heavy drinking. But I can see why fellow Cov fans may be getting annoyed at other Cov fans bigging up WASPS its just observations won't change our predicament
Or their perception that they are getting 'bigged up' to a mere point of what I came across and was shocked by.
Unfortunately the following comments by others suggesting I spoke to loads, I spoke to hundreds etc etc was soley made up by those in question.
I merely said a I spoke to a handful and posed a question. Got some interesting responses though.
It seems some dont like the idea that it happened so ridicule it

Or that you put it in another thread but didn't get any bites so had to give it a thread of it's own to get maximum attentionThat shocked that 4 days later you posted a thread about it.

Nothing is wrong with the question or even if it is your opinion that wasps are amazing and you love them (not that I am saying it is, if it was).
My point is the intended outcome and purpose of the thread.
He's obviously wumming and he should pack it in .
