Whereas people will blindly follow a rugby team they don't even support out of spite for SISU / free sandwiches?
SISU have expected us to be good as gold and stupid as mud , blindly follow the team with our cash whilst they implement a strategy to .....i dunno.
How so? We've had some shocking loan players from PL clubs -Reece brown, lee sawyer, brian Kerr, Eddie Johnson, akpom, henderson, Richard Duffy, etc. They won't be loaning PL quality or championship quality players to CRFC, they would rather them get experience in a higher league.

I don't think anyone will blindly follow them. They will fail or thrive on their own actions and if they attract the support but what is clear, they recognise that have to establish themselves in a new location and the point being made is that are very active in supporting a strategy. I don't recall them hiding from their supporters or not engaging with Football supporters.
They are out there doing their stuff, SISU have not been. look at the current supporters representation fiasco. its just one disaster after another with them
They are no longer the principal rugby club in the city and with Wasps routinely siphoning off local talent a glass ceiling has been set. Be honest, Wasps have no desire to make CRFC as strong as you suggest.

Why do you think local lads will play for coventry rugby, when leicester is down the road or does it just suit your argument?
I signed up to SBT when I was in Brighton, now I don't live there anymore. People do move you know, just like Wasps.
Where do they end up when they get better than Cov's level?
I agree, SISU are dog shit at PR and always have been. However, it doesn't mean I want to run and support another team because they have better PR.
Can anybody remember the uproar when people said SISU were giving free tickets in Northampton? It was like they had been round punching old women or something.
By permanently relocating it?
I only bought a ticket and I feel wanted already
Supporters Open Day at the Ricoh Arena
Wasps are delighted to invite our loyal supporters to an open day at the Ricoh Arena on Sunday 7th December.
That was for season ticket holders, this is for non season ticket holders.
I think the point I'm making is the difference between how Sisu and Wasps handle their fans/ potential fans..
That's you alright....well unitl a big football match or the next bandwagon comes along
Not knocking you, but, you continually criticise my support for CCFC, based on my positive attitude towards Wasps even though I have bought 2 season tickets for CCFC this year and have supported them since 1967.
Wasps are not the problem here. We have had ample opportunity to be in their position, but Sisu being a hedge fund, operate by threats to drive down value and get it on the cheap.
They thought, as did most people, that a stadium with no CCFC would fold and they, not CCFC, would gain a major asset and make their money and move on at the expense of CCC.
With Wasps stepping in, from nowhere, CCC had a narrow window to decide whether to let the stadium go to Wasps, instead of to CCFC, as they intended.
The decision I suggest was an easy one as Wasps would have moved on and the CCC relationship with Sisu would continue.
I fully appreciate that the opportunity to own the Ricoh has gone but in reality it would have been owned by Sisu not CCFC.
All I want now is to get the best out of the situation and in my eyes that is a successful Wasps with CCFC, as 'wanted and looked after' tenants at the Ricoh.
The free tickets at Northampton would go directly against the policy of the majority of CCFC fans who had decided that an empty Sixfields was the best way to get CCFC back home.
I believe this was a lever to make out that fans were attending in numbers and that not attending Sixfields was fruitless.
I also believe that as long as there was an okay turn out at the stadium that the FL would sit back and do absolutely nothing.
You can't relocate something that has no home.
You can even argue that they don't really have a big fan base there.
Time will tell.
You forgot that people have different rules for what is acceptable when it comes to Wasps.Ah the word majority.
They were trying to promote the club in the local area after they were moved away (temporarily), the same as Wasps are doing. Either it is good PR or it is just to boost numbers, which one is it?
Wasn't Adams Park there home? I constantly hear people telling us the Ricoh is our home as long as we continue to play there, even using the house analogy that if you rent a house it is still your home. Does the same no apply to Wasps?You can't relocate something that has no home.

When Wasps treat there fans like shit they butter them up, do it discreetly and feed bullshit which the stupid people all swallow up, when SISU treat us like shit there just like deal with it, and if they another approach it's all spin anyway.

The decision is easily made because the support in Wycombe is minimal and the void of a top class rugby team in Warwickshire/West Midlands is apparent.
The difference is that the Ricoh fits our ambitions.
Adams Park does not fit Wasps ambitions and certainly is not the 15,000 ground required for European competitions.
I believe they even tried to finance a bigger stadium for both in the area but got refused.

How does renting off Wasps fit our ambitions?
The Ricoh fits our ambition of getting back to the PL.
Renting the Ricoh off Wasps, or Sisu, does not come into it.
