Thing is, as it's a stand against SISU, it's still fixating on one side if that's your desire...
As NW said, a stand against Wasps is a stand against SISU. Problem is many fans are only fixated on one side in this whole mess.
All this fixating on WASPS achieves nothing. Operating on the premise that a failure for WASPS will lead to a resurgent CCFC is also preposterous. CCFC were failing under SISU long before WASPS got here so there is nothing to suggest from the past that SISU would or could make CCFC a success if even WASPS left.
Indeed there isn't but there is far more chance of SISU leaving if CCFC owning the Ricoh once again becomes a possibility.All this fixating on WASPS achieves nothing.

Wasps offered Coventry something they didn't have, a professional Rugby club, something it has only ever had for 1 year.
That'd be like suggesting Bradford have only had a top flight team for two seasons, failing to take into account any pre Premier League seasons. Therefore, Watford should move to Valley Parade.
That disrespects the fact that Coventry were among the strongest rugby clubs around for a couple of decades post-war.
Let's arbitrarily pick some dates to make a ;'difference' eh, and miss the fact that Wasps succeeding in embedding themselves here, if they do, makes it more likely that othert clubs will seek to embed themselves wherever they're offered the best deal.

I suggested nothing of the sort, Bradford City have been a professional football club for an eternity it has nothing to do with league status, how many professional Rugby clubs were there in Coventry pre Wasps?
I not sure why you think Coventry being half decent at rugby 60 years ago has any effect on Wasps moving here?
It astonishes me that, having seen the commodification of football and sport in the modern era (and the consequences thereof), that anybody would even bother to defend sport-as-business.
The path we've been on for a number of years is an inevitable one unless fans stop being so parochial, and realise they need a united voice across clubs and sports to stop what we buy into changing irrevocably.
The problem people have is they take a synchronic approach to analysis, rather than diachronic.
Every little element pushes in a certain direction, folly to think otherwise.
Wimbledon to Milton Keynes.Stick a reminder on this thread and come back to me when an English professional football "franchises", if your view is correct I shan't be waiting too long.
Read the whole threadWimbledon to Milton Keynes.
If someone offers me wasps tickets i would gladly take the whole book off him, then go to the toilet and wipe my arse on them and then give them to hadjiWhilst watching the game Saturday block 24 I saw this chap with a shit load of wasp tickets and he stopped and talked to the guy on the end and next thing I see him ripping off 6 tickets and given them to the guy then he sat down for 5 minutes and went to another one of our supporters talked to him and gave him tickets and moved to block 23. I think wasps are using our support for bait

Hadn't finished post. Using phone at work. Posted instead of moving down page. So I finished my post. But same difference. You can't say that you will have a long wait for something to happen when it already has.cheeky edit there. I thought better of you.

I remember saying that we would never move to Northampton. What happened there? And we only came back because CCC handed the Ricoh to Wasps. Nothing to do with low attendances. So if Wasps never turned up where would we be playing now? Would CCC have handed the Ricoh over unencumbered? Would you be happy watching us at Northampton after all this time?
So if we deal with the SISU thing as a one off it will make it OK?If you'd read the whole thread you would see that we had dealt with the MK dons issue as a one off, my statement to NW was clearly meant in the future, he understood that, not sure why you didn't.
I can see a disclaimer coming ?you will never see it coming
Not from you any way snipper boy hit and run always knew you were a chav.you will never see it coming
Telford, Yorkshire, Belfast, Dublin, London, Plymouth, Glasgow, Portsmouth to name a few would have a fighting chance.
Three naive thoughts you've got:
Firstly that the current status quo remains as such if the likes of Wasps are accepted wrt geographical immobility, both at a club and a league level;
Assuming the same volume of gates are needed from the off, or at all;
That other football clubs might not disappear, leaving holes. Surivival of the fittest allows for others to prey on those spaces, and take them over. That applies to Coventry as well - perhaps Hull might fancy creating Coventry Tigers...
Belfast, Dublin and Glasgow are not in England.
Portsmouth is occupied.
London is heavily occupied.
Yorkshire is heavily occupied.
So no.
Yorkshire has lots of land to build a ground. And I have heard many times that it is important to have our own stadium.Belfast, Dublin and Glasgow are not in England.

Which Yorkshire town/city does not have a professional football club?Yorkshire has lots of land to build a ground. And I have heard many times that it is important to have our own stadium.

How important is it that we own our own stadium as it doesn't look like we will in Coventry again.Which Yorkshire town/city does not have a professional football club?
That's not Wasps fault, but it is what it is.
Are you going to be the owner of both?I'm telling you here and now that Wasps and CCFC will, in a few year's time, be under the same ownership and it makes perfect sense to me.
