    I agree. It was flagged up and derided by a few vocal posters unfortunately. Like with the football club there is only SISU apparently

    I don't believe we will build a new stadium. However if all goes belly up for the council could they really turn round and say' well we didn't believe them' get in the real world. Yep I agree a premiership football club has more pull, so does a champions league one. By not buying ACL the...

    Last paragraph sums it up unfortunately. A high court judge found that the 'Nasty football club' your words were trying to devalue ACL. They were repeatedly asked to bid for ACL. They said Freehold or nothing. They moved out whilst building a new stadium. They were given a deadline by...

    I agree a rugby club should not be moved from its home town. However I think that is the RFC's fault that they allowed it to happen. I agree there was no consultation which I don't really understand why and I don't think that has been explained. Did they just say due to commercial...

    If you are referring to the likes of myself. I would have preferred CCFC to have 50% of the Ricoh. However that doesn't stop me from understanding why it hasn't happened.

    Not amazing just a fact if life whether you like it or not. The council were getting told the football were off in 4 years out of Coventry. That will have a negative effect in the economy as I am sure the move to Northampton did. Didn't a business guru type person come out with this. So with...

    3, their names are John Constsdine, Hamesh Dines and Sadar Patel. Them getting their jobs will contribute an extra 420,000 to the Coventry Economy over 15 years. This is a multiplier effect of following the audit trail of where their earning go once they are spent. For example Sadar will...

    It pointless having a pop about hopes and estimations unless you are talking to Nostradamus. How the hell can someone give you exact figures for a future venture. That has to be given in the future. However you must agree Wasps coming to Coventry bring more money into Coventry than was there...

    Nick when those business do well they employ Coventry people. I wish they were in dependant shops like in Fargo but that is an entirely different issue. Like it or not they employ people from the city who will spend some if their wages in the city

    People took pride when the Ice hockey team were top of their game. People will also take pride in wasps in the future. However yes the pound will have been the prime motivation behind the deal.

    You personally may not give a shit, however the person who gets a job at tescos because of it will. They will then spend their money in the city. They may spend it doing up their house and employ a local tradesman and so on so on You or me can just look at it as this is shit for CCFC. The...

    You would have to wait for research in a few years to say how much it has benefited Coventry. It will though, the profile if the city will raise. At all levels including playing Staff are likely to eventually own or rent property in the area. Wasps plan to build a training facility here...

    Where have Elliott and Hoffman been in all this?

    What ever way you word it. Do you think our club is worth 30 million? Then you needed to buy ACL as well for 20 million.

    A company half owned by the council and local 'children's' (just for you) charity was slowly getting screwed over. Instead now more money will be coming into the Coventry economy. So as a Cov fan it is frustrating. They rest of the people of Coventry it is better for them.

    Also how many of those other owners took us to division 3 and moved us 40 miles away unnecessarily? I am sure he still supports the team he just has taken a stance against our owners. He could question you as a true supporter by attending Sixfields if he wanted to.
