Disrespectful - don't make me laugh.... it wasn't a Leicester flag or a Villa one FFS. The person who did it probably has little idea of who JH is and what he did for CCFC so it's hardly done with malice. Lighten up a bit, jeez.
Meanwhile, congratulations Wasps on the win today and welcome to Coventry!
Didn't know who he was? Don't make me laugh.
At least we know now you are not a true fan as you are laughing along with people who are spitting in the face of our heritage.
You are disgusting.
A sad day in the history of Coventry. Why anyone would go and cheer on wasps is beyond me...
Absolutely staggering that some people seem to be reveling in this. To outsiders it must look like the City of Coventry has given up on Coventry City Football Club. Our future has never been this bleak and some people are having fun with it.
I won't lose any sleep over the fact someone put a Wasps flag in the hand of Jimmy Hill - it's a bit unnecessary, what is shocking is that some supporters of CCFC seemed to quite enjoy the spectacle
Why not enjoy a leading sports club coming to the city? And switching off the lights on the vile SISU in the process (that and the latter's self-inflicted JR own goal).
Nobody otuside Coventry really cares, other than Wasps fans. The future of CCFC has nothing to do with Wasps - our status as tenants at the Ricoh remains unchanged.
I just don't see why so many people are pissed off by the Wasps move. Short of a takeover by Byng-Hoffman-Ranson-Elliot, this is the next-best scenario because it keeps the Ricoh out of SISU's hands.

Now we know this is a wind up account.
Its CJ Parker so its isn't - he's just mental.
I've reported you to the police. Have a nice christmas
Incredible. The language people can summon in condemnation of this foolishness, in stark contrast to the luke-warm criticism they'll direct at the owners of our football club - who have overseen a downward spiral of truly staggering proportions.
I would very much suggest that Jimmy Hill wouldn't be too bothered about a flag being in his hand; compared to the sequence of events at the helm of our once-great club which made the flag placement possible
someone who was there said the person who put the flag on the statue was wearing a cov scarf, saw him do it,

Think people should lighten up but if you want to repeat that face to face you are welcome to try.
run lewis ruuuuun pmsl grow up hill83 ffs lets not pretend you've caught him on the A444 with petrol and a lighter, your not ment to set fire to wasps nests anyway you have to ring an exterminator :facepalm:

Give it a few weeks, we won't even make the back page of the telegraph, and have far less column inches.

The future of CCFC has everything to do with Wasps - and our status has changed immeasurably. Previously we were tenants with the option of buy the stadium that was built for us (or at least a stake in it), now we are tenants with no prospect of ever owning it. We are to Wasps what they were to Wycombe Wanderers - a situation that was so intolerable for them they had to 'move or die'.
Yet again you show your true colours witn the comment about keeping the Ricoh out of SISU's hands. That was clearly your priority, and you have got your wish, the upshot of which is that we're now stuck with SISU for the foreseeable future because there is absolutely nothing for anyone to buy. But then why worry, you now have your 'leading sports club' to support.
Purely a question to what I have highlighted, do you think CCFC could survive a move outside the city, when we struggle to get decent attendances at the Ricoh?
I find that really offensive,

I think a large % is down to where it is AND how it is handled by the club. You tell people "We are moving, deal with it" and people will tell you to piss off. You break your bring to bring every single fan to the new ground and a lot more people will bother if they feel wanted.
I've reported you to the police. Have a nice christmas
I assume you mean break your back.
The only issue I have with this new stadium is where the "extra" revenue will come from. Say we owed 50% of the Rioch, we have the hotel, casino etc.
A simple 15-18k football stadium with none of the Ricoh facilities, but costs £20-30million to build, I fail to see how it will be viable?
This is all I want to know, show me the viability, and I'll get behind it.
Do me a favour and ring them back. There's a fella standing outside with a match against the brickwork. They ain't got long.

Is it not possible to be offended by both or are we back to fucking percentages again. What the fuck moving to Northampton has to do with some flag happy cretin I'll never know.What do you find more offensive? That or us playing in Northampton?
Yeah thought I had typed that, obviously not.
Again, it comes down to how SISU market things. If it is like Sixfields they will have a shed on the side to use for weddings for the attitude of "if people want to get married here they can if they want, not arsed" rather than having somebody trawl facebook for city fans who are engaged to say "woweeee look at this, come and get married here, we will give you everything, sky blue sam will come and a photo with some of the players" etc.
(Not that I think they will, just an example of the poor PR)
That's exactly my concern.
I think it was RFC IIRC (Who else :facepalmsaying the conference and hotel/wedding facilities will match the Ricoh etc.
But personally I don't see how. Let's take your average London business man/woman who has a meeting in Coventry (I know, bear with me) one day, then Manchester the next. Do I stay at a football stadium with no links to motorway etc, or do I stay at the Ricoh, get on the M6 the next day easily.
I just can't see this 365 day revenue coming in other than the 23 match days
If it was Bermuda, it is pretty much next to the Motorway also but yeah, it comes down to how they market / run the place. They could build a stadium twice as big as the Ricoh but with their PR that has been shown so far it wouldn't do much anyway.
Even things like Kids Birthday parties, nothing like that at the Ricoh for young cov fans.
