Theres already one in town on Cook Street gate. http://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/wall/cookst-gate.php Might not be an accuarate likeness but sums up his persona pretty well I think.

Why would I want to go and watch another towns football team?

Why? There is nothing to suggest that concerts will stop.

No. A 15k stadium in close proximity to the Ricoh will not generate enough income to be useful.

<p> Well they've threatened to move to Walsall and build a new stadium over it. I would consider that blowing ones top slightly.

<p> So why spend £30m on a new ground, lose 70% of our support, and still be no better off? Wouldn't it be more useful to start mending bridges and buy the Ricoh (in a professional way, not by trying to bankrupt it)?

<p> The Ricoh will become available 365 days a year, when a dedicated conference venue like that exists in the area everything else will struggle.

<p> I imagine the Qpr fans anger was directed at their own club.

<p> Important yes, but no the one and only problem. If you believed Tim Fisher we would be in the Champions League by now if it wasn't for the stadium issue. Its an issue stirred up by sisu to try and deflect criticism of their own failings.

The extra pittance/revenue gained (F&b's) from this new stadium will just be lost on maintenance. Remember there will be no concerts, no conferences. Highfield 2 will be more antiquated than Highfield 1.

<p> Yes debt is irrelevant if it can be serviced. However the debt has grown year on year, and we all know the rent isn't the only reason.

<p> The response being if someone is stupid enough to pay over the odds for something who is at fault?

Grendel, do you think it was morally wrong for Ray Ranson to sell Gary Borrowdale for decent money despite knowing he was rubbish?

OK, so please explain how this would have been different if the club owned the Ricoh over then last few years? Losses would be £55m rather than £70m? What a success that would be!

Well I can't speak for others, but my reasons for not supporting the clubs actions are mainly: The club sold its rights to revenues years ago, why should they get them back for free? The way the club has gone about it, I.e demanding rather than asking. Also the fact that the stadium isn't the...

20 years of mismanagement by the Club.

Why would I support that? I don't want to move grounds. As a customer I like going and watching at the Ricoh. As CEO its up to Tim Fisher to mould the club into what its paying customers want. Sisu 'breaking' ACL might well have been good for Sisu, but I don't trust them enough to consider...

Ok, if they want to be successful then they have to put a decent team out. Its a balancing act, most of the clubs promoted ahead of us in the Championship years done it on smaller crowds. The reason being they were better run. Business is about survival. You adapt to external forces or die...

Why would more fans come and watch just because we have to pay the rent? Its the clubs responsibility to put a decent team on the pitch, not ours. As Sisu keep telling us, its a business remember. The owner of a business is solely responsible for its fate.

That's nothing to do with the fans though. Its poor management of the club from top to bottom for the last 20 years.
