Then add in the prospect of us now never owning the Ricoh. Are you sure it's none of our business?
Where have I said I don't like this debate? I'm not sure where you have that idea from.
How many people joined in their protest? Did they have a march? Just looked at that petition, and it has 2971 signatures. Hardly a resounding no.
As for Coventry business, having Wasps here is obviously better than not having them here. I don't see how on any level having a top flight sports team is bad for a city.
As for CCFC, I don't see any short term impact in attendances because of Wasps, in the long term it is the RESPONSIBILITY (remember that word?) of the owners of CCFC to ensure it has a bright future. Wasps are not responsible for anything bad happening at CCFC.
CRFC, well they aren't exactly angels when it comes to franchising are they? Some might say that their actions in the past have now come back to haunt them. Either way, so far Wasps have had no negative impact on Cov, and even the management there have said it could work to their advantage.
Again, with Wycombe, it sounds like their fans were blaming Wasps for their own clubs failings. It was up to Wycombe Wanderers to improve itself all those things, and evidently they failed.
Finally Wasps are not the reason we do not own the Ricoh, I am sure you are not as naive to believe that.

Bizarre reply considering you seem to be blaming an "out of town" rugby club for all our woes.
Who has ever blamed Wasps for "all our woes"?
the bandwagon city has welcomed them with open arms.
Has it ever occurred to you that Wasps are going to pull in supporters from a much larger geographic area than Coventry City, whereas CCFC are unlikely to be supported by many outside CV1-6
70% CV postcode isn't it or something for Wasps?
What about Cv7 upwards? Considering Cv7 starts next to it.
I believe it was 92%.

really? Wheres that from?
Yes, but CV postcodes cover the entire Warwickshire area, bits of Northants and Birmingham
73% from CV and B postcodes. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/rugby/wasps-rfc-set-smash-100k-8663915
I don't think it covers any of birmingham (birkswell and balsall common is Solihull) or Northants. There will be people from warwickshire in there.

When they say "purchases", they mean "given tickets for free".

What are you trying to imply?
Reply with facts if you want to imply things like that.
It was far worse in times gone by. I mean, we had complete plonkers making up Sisu is saving us banners on here. You couldn't make it up could you?
Did CCFC pay more in rent than Wasps did for the Ricoh?
I would need copies of your receipts to do that.
I can only offer your posts reacting to people who say Wasps are here so move on.
They can read them themselves.
Most of us supported Sisu when they took over, you included.

Some West Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Shropshire areas don't have CV postcodes.
Enough to want to make GIFs saying they were saving us? Doubt it.
Certainly wound you up at the time though didn't it ?
I thought the large number of free tickets given away were for the first 4 matches, the last match was the 5th at the Ricoh, what information do you have about additional freebies, where is your source?
(I'm sure there will be some, but maybe not nearly as much as 3K per game).
