I don't think any other team has moved out of its town without firm plans for a new ground, whilst a perfectly good one sits empty. The only other club that has similarities is Wimbledon. I know that 95% of club owners are in it for the money, the difference is most know that there is a...

If the club stays away for 5 years you have to question what sort of fan base we will have left. Owning stadiums and income streams is all well and good, but if you don't have enough fans to generate that income then the club is dead.

No thanks. If Hinckley is now classed as the "Coventry Area" then I might as well support Nuneaton. At least they don't betray their fans.

If we owned a freehold Fleck would have scored for sure.

Personally not bothered, more important issues at the moment than the jpt. But I do feel for the 500 or so hardy souls down there.

Their showing the jpt scores on teletext.

No advertising money at sixfields as well remember.

Why would I be happy by that? Its their incompetence that's caused the heavy losses.

Its a taxpayers asset your advocating being given to a hedge fund. If sisu are not failing I'd hate to see them when they are! They dont have a clue.

I dont really see why hardworking Coventry taxpayers should subsidise a failing, incompetent hedge fund.

What's stopping sisu putting in a bid?

I agree, and that's where I have a problem with them. I have no real issue with them trying to increase the value of the club so they can sell on for a profit. But if you want something in life you have to pay for it.

Because we are stakeholders in ccfc. Would you let someone you've never met look after something valuable you own? For all we know she might not even exist. Also if she is making decisions on behalf of the club she needs to be subjected to the fit and proper persons test. So far we have...

Personally I dont mind sisu via ccfc buying the stadium, provided safeguards are put in place and they pay market value. What this thread is about though is the benefit of owning the freehold to ccfc. In terms of the football club there is no need to own the freehold.

Lease doesn't run out for about another 40 years so I dont think that is too much of a concern. You state that with a lease you are liable to maintenance charges, if they owned the freehold who do you expect to pay for maintenance? All you have mentioned in your post is about what sisu...

If their not selling the land then its not the freehold.

Think some people just like to moan! Haven't read all this thread but am I right in thinking wolves sold out in just a few days?

Guaranteed to win at both these games as neither Wolves or Walsall own the freehold of their grounds.

Im not sure. If their running at a loss that means they have to act. Could lead to a change of use for the bowl, meaning the club can never return. Its possibly better if Acl are able to stick it out.

Why doesn't the local media challenge sisu on this idea of needing to own the freehold? For years wolves were highlighted as being one of the best run clubs in the league, yet they manage that on a leasehold.
