Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
Bath have been trash for many years. Remember how in the european at the then Walkers stadium we had their scrum on the rack on their line and they dropped the scrum until the yellow card was produced then as soon as the replacement prop came on he dropped the scrum as they went backwards and collected a yellow therefore sending the scrums to uncontested to prevent a pushover try with a french ref who didnt have the balls to award a penalty try
Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
This post was originally in response to an article indicating that the Coventry folk were not very warming to Wasps pitching up on their doorstep. This has now diversed into trashing other teams.
We would welcome all fans from any club to attend games against Tigers and do not want them to feel uncomfortable at the ground with some of the views stated on here.
Rugby is a very unique sport where fans can mix together and enjoy the banter so lets try and make them feel that they can enjoy their visits to Mattioli Wood Welford Road and promote the Club in a welcoming way.

Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
Couldn't agree more.
There are some teams who don't ring my bell but I am more than happy to share a dink and some friendly banter with any rugby supporter, regardless of the club they support.

1996 Backy has just put ref on his gluteus maximus. Bath win cup - unhappy but you learn to lose. I took that but what stuck in my throat was the continual goading by arrogant Bath followers bragging they were going to 'own' the incoming Professional League.

Agreed, half the fun is sharing a drink and some banter with the fans from the other club.Tigerbeat wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 2:14 pm This post was originally in response to an article indicating that the Coventry folk were not very warming to Wasps pitching up on their doorstep.

Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
Don’t really get the animosity against other clubs(apart from Sarries).

Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
My disappointment was around some fans not their club. That unfortunately is society. Bath with a complex (S Barnes influenced?), Sarries still in denial etc.
I promote the the 'rugby family' but unfortunately every family have rogues.
That said the word hate is too strong for me.

Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
I think hate is too strong a word, IMHO dislike is more appropriate, I dislike Sarries for many reasons,
I dislike Wasps again for several reasons (pizza gate and relocation amongst them) although I have friends in London who are passionate about them.
I also dislike Sale, Steve Diamond irritates me and Sanderson is is a downgrade, so irritates me even more.
Having said all that, as others have already said, we need other clubs to play against and so have to tolerate the bad ones.

Remind me never to upset you - that’s a pretty long-standing grudge!Nofrontteeth wrote: ↑Thu Dec 02, 2021 3:59 pm 1996 Backy has just put ref on his gluteus maximus.

Re: Wasps are not welcome in Coventry
There seems to a bit of open warfare on the Wasps unoffy forum, footy fans having a pop at them it seems.
