About as sharp as a butter knife. There is a whiff of that I admit, but it is nothing they cannot bat away. I have been on the end of some razor sharp business practices - this is nothing in comparison.

Get away with what? They have outflanked ACL with this latest move and it has left them floundering and rushing to reassure everyone that the club are welcome to play at the Ricoh (ACL have just ruled out the last available option left open to them). Get away with the points deduction? It...

That's a very loose definition of the term 'rival'; when clearly the suggestion is (from them) is that there is some sort of meaningful rivalry between the two clubs, based I imagine on locality, which is absolute shit. Some people seem to spend their whole day trying to be a smart-arse.

Considering the land on which Upton Park sits is said to be worth anything between £25-£50 million, then the up front funding required from West Ham is a snip.

They weren't really internet rumours though. The online chatter followed reports from mainstream media sources which stated that SISU had briefed them to say they were looking at another venue and had FA agreement. All part of the game I imagine.

It's quite simple, SSN reported last night that they had be informed by a club spokesman that preparations to play elsewhere had been made and that this had FA approval. It isn't as though someone just made this up.

Un-fucking-believable.

Now now, you know he didn't say that, he said they "wouldn't fall off a cliff" and was clearly referring to the last 3 games of the season. He may well be wrong on that, but if you are going to accuse someone of speaking garbage, at least try and understand what they are saying (is all I'm saying).

I think he was only referring to the last 3 games. Clearly, a full season away from Coventry and crowds would plummet.

You were very vocal in your calls to lock the doors earlier this evening. Good outcome for you?

You keep saying that like it's a good deal. For a 3rd division club, it is still crippling.

That's the sort of creative accounting SISU would be proud of.

The club have been paying £10,000 a match to cover that, and on top of that ACL make from car parking and other F&B revenues.

People seem to conveniently forget that. Hate the idea of my club leaving Coventry, but they were told to get out, people said lock the doors (many people were saying that tonight), and now that they have taken that advice people are crying about it.

I think most regular fans will follow the team wherever they go this season. Next season is a different matter entirely and ST sales would go through the floor. Playing away for Coventry just isn't sustainable, and I believe that if we start next season at the Bescott/Nene Park or wherever, a...

Planning consent (you need that for temporary structures also), segregation issues, safety certificate. Non-starter.

Something confuses me. ACL threaten admin and people are happy. SISU do it and it is an outrage. In response people say lock the doors! SISU then announce they are leaving anyway and then that is a disgrace. I'm not sure some people really know what they want.

Not you as well? I draw the line at two. That's my limit. I now have train fairs to Walsall to worry about.

I wouldn't have thought so. I am sure the priority of the FA/FL will be to keep the club in existence so sanctioning a temporary change in venue would be a formality you would think?

How many people would go to court for the sake of £36 though? I'll give you the 36 quid to save you the hassle and stress :p
