Grendel I thought Higgs investment in the football club was as a private individual and not through the charity.

This talk of liquidation seems a bit premature. Fisher has said that the JR is about justice for the taxpayers of Coventry. SISU are going to build their own stadium and take the club forward.

the JR is about the source of the funds and their usage. The council as a shareholder has the right to get involved. It's how they got involved that SISU are contesting.

They brought 8 lawyers to this case. Maybe they will need the ricoh to house all their lawyers for the JR.

of course it will be if the lawyers get their way - paid by the hour. Sisu's 8 lawyers will be raking it in.

7-2 lawyers. You can see where the cost difference comes between 290k and 29k. If higgs win maybe joy should employ them to manage the finances.

Brighton is a bit different.Their crowds before they left the Goldstone were pretty much the same as the Withdean gates. Combination of new stadium and investment in the team got people there and comparative success has kept them going.

Brighton got "lucky". A fan prepared to put a lot of money into the club. First season attendances at Ricoh and Amex were similar. Brighton had the money to kick on we didn't.

Don't usually bite but it is sad when long term supporters, who now feel detached from the club, get mocked for how they now feel.

So a league 2 club with no ground and 40+ million debt - new owners will be lined up round the block.

55 quid!!!

surely the jr is just another small step. It assumes there will be a definite decision for one side or the other and that both sides accept the decision. Likelihood is that the "loser" will appeal and things will continue to drag on.

Haven't both those grounds been redeveloped etc. by the respective tenants at their own expense?

Never going to happen. Said this from the start how people can take such definite postions on the issues without having all the facts amazes me. Everything needs clearing up just to make sure there's no chance of ending in a Luton situation where the club got punished for misdemeanours of...

The 10000 who might go to the Ricoh or the other 290000 that don't?

Grendel any chance you can ask your accountant what he thinks about ARVO continuing to lend money to a business with seemingly little in the way of fixed assets albeit at an interest rate way over 5%?

Keywords are " set his heart on a big summer move " - not sure that's us anymore!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-26110731 Considering the parties involved there has to be several levels of irony in this story. Lights firework and retreats:D

The argument I don't follow is why fencing would have to be re-introduced. If people aren't invading the pitch with safe seating and no fence then why would they be with safe terracing? Terracing=hooligans etc isn't a given.

Any chance he's found something?
