The concept of a 12,000 stadium she should be stated as unacceptable right from now, I doubt it will ever be built but it is inadequate, our last game at the Ricoh attracted that ie following a mid-table finish after a 10pt deduction against the mighty Orient it would have been a sell out. Also...

12,000 is commercial suicide - less than 3 years ago when in the championship there were 28,000 v Leeds no sniff of Wembley we were on a good run Leeds are a big club, 12,000 codenms us to 1st Div lower championship level, We are at our lowest point for 50 yearts but that should not be a basis...

I think SISU have reappraised the situation regarding a new stadium in Warwickshire after the NOPM campaign, ie that rather than being guaranteed at least 10,000 every match, it may be considerably lower, their investors business partners would need convincing that people would turn up in...

Any stadium that is built even further away form the centre of Cov than the Ricoh is will inconvenience fans and cost more to travel to. Highfield road was an ideal location for Coventry based fans as many could walk to the ground or were a minimum of a 1 bus ride away. Ricoh less could walk...

I think you are confusing being pro -ACL with natural justice. As much as I want Cov to own its own stadium or pay as little rent as possible I recognise that we had a ground built for us, we sold off our rights to income streams to a charity and that we have no divine right to get this back...

3 STs from this poster but I am not that confident but I also won't complain ever again about the canal side walk on a dark knight in fact I would look forward to it.

That is exactly the reason they moved the club to Northants, there is no new stadium its a commercial disadter but creating a feeling of desperation / embarrassment may allow SISU to get what they always wanted just cost a relegation and the loss of 1,000 of fans to get there.

Its an aspiration for Cov to own its own ground but not a reality, SISU haven't got the money to buy the ground at its market price. We are in this position because of the financial disaster that was our former owners, a ground was built for them because they couldn't build it themselves...

I have a problem with SISU walking off into the sunset with a big fat profit. Had they got us promoted to the premiership, they would have demonstrated that they could run a football club, us fans would have seen some good times, wins promotion etc... As far as I am concerned SISU have...

Godiva you have a point they both helped but can see the opportunities that the Ricoh offer and may be reluctant to let go. My problem is SISU paid cash to MCGin & Robbo for a business with no assets losing money and signed up to the £1.2m rent and the loss of revenue sources. Had there been...

Didn't SISU have the opportunity to buyback the 50% share but decided not to, please don't ask me to reference my sources and produce hard facts to support it. Should the charity sell back to the club at the cost it paid for their share is a reasonable question but I don't think SISU are...

Godiva you need to chill, I have no facts to support whether SISU would pay for the revenue streams that was my opinion based on their actions to date, this is a forum not a court of law but a the quote from JS is hardly something I've backed down over - the old CCFC didn't understand what they...

I don't think there will be any new stadium will need millions to be committed without any certainty of it being built whilst they are losing millions playing in Northampton. I think SISU will hold the club to ransom ie for sale at £20m or it will be liquidated, sounds a bit dramatic and far...

All these financial transactions would have been subject to contract that should have been reviewed and understood before signing, Joy is making excuses for the incompetence of the former CCFC owners, they should have clarified it before signing. A poor excuse.

OK they never say they want anything for free but they enjoy playing to the media / fans about their lack of revenue sources and the high rent - which were all known at the point of DD, they never refer to the fact that the club sold their rights to this to a charity.

fisher keeps bleating on about lack of access to revenue streams but they knew when they did their due diligence that these had been sold many years previously to the Higgs Trust. Do they expect that Higgs as a charity will just roll over and give back all these revenue streams for nothing ?.

SISU are building a new stadium, well they said they would

jordan was excellent today covered well for Webster, webster was ok but misread a few things that required jordan's timely intervention. Also aaron philipps - looked so good for his full debut, very cool under pressure and a solid unit wasn't pushed around or bullied.

I am convinced that this will get a lot worse before ultimately killing off the club.

Once the appeal to the Judicial Review is thrown out I would like ACL to make a public offer to CCFC to rent the stadium for £150k p.a. A clear unambiguous offer, a 3 year rental period, so SISU can go and build their stadium. Such an offer would require SISU to comment and would be difficult...
