And if you want to gleefully mock the football club face to face with fans who have genuinely had the stuffing knocked out of them by this then you are welcome to try that too.

Fuck off. Sorry, but just fuck off.

For those that maintain that the Ricoh is our home and we belong there, I give you: The sooner we get out the better. Can't stomach the wretched place.

The collection point is a window oppsite the casino entrance.

It's about the only thing in the shop though. In there this morning and was shocked at the offering. The busiest shopping day of the year and they have nothing to sell. Given that we are forever talking about income streams, and given that merchandising is just about our only income stream...

Unfortunately, I doubt the crowd will be much more than 8K. That seems to be our par crowd this season, like 10K was 2 seasons ago. Fleetwood will be better because of the pricing, and Chesterfield better still with it being our only Christmas fixture, which is often the biggest gate of the...

You really think a hedge fund would not have been capable of raising the finance to buy a facility like the Ricoh below its true value? They would have had investors jumping at that. But it was too late at that point. The offer they put on the table in late 2012 was more generous than that...

Uh? I've just posted reasons why Wasps will absolutely not want to do anything hostile to the club - we're their customers. Wasps will not be hostile - but it is irrelevant, because the issue at hand is that they have ownership of something that really ought to have been in the hands of the...

Nailed it.

Deluded doesn't even get close. So closing the door on ownership of the Ricoh is a good thing for the football club because the people who own it will probably be nice and friendly for a couple of years? Jeez. The fact they will 'respect' CCFC in the short term is of little or no consolation...

Of course they had a choice - we all know that as long as the option to buy the Ricoh was there CCFC were going nowhere. The council could have sat on their profit-making management company for a few years until bridges were rebuilt and/or ownership of the club had changed. Why they did was...

What wider benefit? In many ways the football club IS the city of coventry - it is pretty much the only vehicle through which we can display pride in our home city en masse. It matters to people, it is the only thing capable of bringing the people of the city together. 250K greeted the team...

Anything that is bad for CCFC is bad for Coventry by default.

It is weird how some people would be genuinely annoyed if Bigirimana came back on loan. After all, who'd want that dynamic duo of Finch and Barton to miss out to a talented youngster who has proven himself at a higher level. Ain't gonna happen now anyway.

Good post, and point 4 is on the money. Those who think Wasps have any plans to buy the football club are, indeed, delusional.

It's funny how some people don't believe a word SISU say, unless of course it suits their argument, in which case SISU were definitely going to take the club out of the city in 4 years. Guff. As long as the possibility of ownership was there, we would have stayed at the Ricoh, and who knows if...

There was NEVER a 'significant' minority that blamed ACL/CCC exclusively - one or two individuals perhaps, but I've never actually met one. What some people have said is that the council have not been blameless. While it may have been possible to sympathise with them for having to deal with...

Of course, when you look at it in those terms, it makes no sense at all. It always made more sense to buy into the Ricoh, and had they behaved properly, the opportunity to do exactly that would have presented itself at some point. But that ship has sailed, in fact the prospects of Ricoh...

I haven't bothered to delve into SISU/Otium and their tangled web of companies to run credit checks, but I don't imagine they'll have much difficulty raising the money.

Of course. But on that statement "I would rather we stayed in league 2 than built our own ground", I think you may actually be on your own. And I wouldn't want that :)
