Awful time for this to happen. My heart truly goes out to anyone involved.

I am guessing that if CCC were found guilty in the JR, that Sisu could then seek for damages against CCC for "loss of earnings" or something similar. My concern with this is, if Sisu were to get a big payout, what would be the motive for them to put that money back into a loss making football...

I've honestly no idea, rent I suppose £150k in league 1, on a sliding scale dependent on division. Revenues is difficult to say without knowing exactly what their worth. It would be much simpler if the deal was CCFC are in complete control of the stadium bowl on matchdays. Paying a slightly...

I would expect Wasps to ask for at least market value. At this point I must add I have no idea how much that would be. I would be angry if Sisu used the same negotiating tactics as in the past, pissing off Wasps, and then ended up having to pay millions for a new ground just to get what they...

Its irrelevant in that it isn't going to affect what CCFC have to pay to buy back the revenue rights. Nothing wrong with trying the open letter idea, but really it is the clubs owners that should be being pro active in this.

It would be like the Ricoh being in Coventry and car park C being in Nuneaton & Bedworth.

So the options are we spend a few million on getting matchday revenue rights at the Ricoh, or we spend circa £30 million for matchday revenue rights at a new ground? What Wasps paid is irrelevant now.

Do you think Wasps are going to give us 365 day revenue at the Ricoh? No, but I think they might sell us access to matchday revenue, plus an opportunity for CCFC to host events themselves there. Wasps have a £14m loan to pay to CCC. I think a few million up front off Sisu would be very enticing...

Excellent news that the Ricoh is back on the market and available for us to buy. Why do we need to buy? I was under the impression that they played in Falmer but seeing as you're just going to ignore any factual evidence that doesn't support your argument it's not really an issue...

12k is just a rumour on here wasn't it? Presumably the same rumour that said its Bermuda. As I said if we see a business plan that shows it to be viable then I will accept the economic argument (I still wouldn't support a move out of the city though), but until that point, evidence suggests a...

I do get your point, and you might well be right. However I cannot bring myself to condone moving any club to a different town. Once you condone one move, no matter how small, that opens a precedent for allowing it.

I never said we were ok, I said it was the better option. What 365 day per year income do you think a 12k capacity stadium, within driving distance of the Ricoh and NEC, will generate? With the greatest of respect to Nuneaton, can you envisage the Kings of Leon including Nuneaton on their...

So at what distance does it become comparable?

Youll have to ask them.

Brighton's stadium is within the Brighton boundaries. The reason it is often thought they play outside of there is because a neighbouring council held up the stadium by objecting to the stadiums affects on its side of the boundary. Grimsby play in a region known as Greater Grimsby, Man Utd play...

I said no other option for Sisu (if they are to be believed). CCFC is better staying in a rented stadium (at a sensible rate) in our home city.

So do you agree then that Wasps playing in Coventry will not affect CRFC?

The closest viable site is the Ricoh, unless that is proved otherwise. Nuneaton is a different town with its own team. Yes it is part of the Coventry sphere of influence, but it isn't Coventry. Brighton play in Brighton. As for the other two, Coventry is a proud and ancient city. If CCFC wish...

But we're talking about the moral argument here aren't we? That being the case distance is immaterial. Something is either wrong or it isn't. It cant be less wrong to franchise to one place over another. At what distance does franchising become wrong?

No I think Sisu would be moving us 3 miles away because their incompetence has resulted in no other option for them. If they are to be believed they need an asset to sell. They wont give a shit whether the asset is good for the long term potential support of the club. The view will be that as...
