No, any move would have to be within the city (or at worst an edge of town site) for it to be viable. The talk of Bermuda Park is worrying, but I keep hearing about a site next to Coventry Airport so who knows.

The future of CCFC has everything to do with Wasps - and our status has changed immeasurably. Previously we were tenants with the option of buy the stadium that was built for us (or at least a stake in it), now we are tenants with no prospect of ever owning it. We are to Wasps what they were...

Funnily enough was talking about this yesterday. It's not just that repairs are needed, the external areas have never been so unkempt and scruffy - it never gets cleaned up. There is a beer can at the bottom of the steps that lead up to the Jag Hall (by the roundabout) that no word of a lie...

Absolutely staggering that some people seem to be reveling in this. To outsiders it must look like the City of Coventry has given up on Coventry City Football Club. Our future has never been this bleak and some people are having fun with it. I won't lose any sleep over the fact someone put a...

You think we're not all angry with SISU? Seriously? The difference is, we don't give this nonsense credibility by going up the there and waving a shitty yellow and black flag in support of a sporting franchise we have absolutely no connection with whatsoever (that's emotionally, historically...

And if you want to gleefully mock the football club face to face with fans who have genuinely had the stuffing knocked out of them by this then you are welcome to try that too.

Fuck off. Sorry, but just fuck off.

For those that maintain that the Ricoh is our home and we belong there, I give you: The sooner we get out the better. Can't stomach the wretched place.

The collection point is a window oppsite the casino entrance.

It's about the only thing in the shop though. In there this morning and was shocked at the offering. The busiest shopping day of the year and they have nothing to sell. Given that we are forever talking about income streams, and given that merchandising is just about our only income stream...

Unfortunately, I doubt the crowd will be much more than 8K. That seems to be our par crowd this season, like 10K was 2 seasons ago. Fleetwood will be better because of the pricing, and Chesterfield better still with it being our only Christmas fixture, which is often the biggest gate of the...

You really think a hedge fund would not have been capable of raising the finance to buy a facility like the Ricoh below its true value? They would have had investors jumping at that. But it was too late at that point. The offer they put on the table in late 2012 was more generous than that...

Uh? I've just posted reasons why Wasps will absolutely not want to do anything hostile to the club - we're their customers. Wasps will not be hostile - but it is irrelevant, because the issue at hand is that they have ownership of something that really ought to have been in the hands of the...

Nailed it.

Deluded doesn't even get close. So closing the door on ownership of the Ricoh is a good thing for the football club because the people who own it will probably be nice and friendly for a couple of years? Jeez. The fact they will 'respect' CCFC in the short term is of little or no consolation...

Of course they had a choice - we all know that as long as the option to buy the Ricoh was there CCFC were going nowhere. The council could have sat on their profit-making management company for a few years until bridges were rebuilt and/or ownership of the club had changed. Why they did was...

What wider benefit? In many ways the football club IS the city of coventry - it is pretty much the only vehicle through which we can display pride in our home city en masse. It matters to people, it is the only thing capable of bringing the people of the city together. 250K greeted the team...

Anything that is bad for CCFC is bad for Coventry by default.

It is weird how some people would be genuinely annoyed if Bigirimana came back on loan. After all, who'd want that dynamic duo of Finch and Barton to miss out to a talented youngster who has proven himself at a higher level. Ain't gonna happen now anyway.

Good post, and point 4 is on the money. Those who think Wasps have any plans to buy the football club are, indeed, delusional.
