And that's the point that needs to be made. Just saying it's bad for Coventry because two of its private businesses will suffer isn't enough. The letter has no emotion. Also it is right to mention sisu in all this. The council rightly don't trust sisu. What they need to be reminded is that...

The problem is it isn't the councils duty to protect the interests of ccfc and crfc. If we're saying that it is, then it is also the councils duty to force sisu out and bring about a change of ownership. The councils duty is to do the right thing for the whole city, and for all we know, the...

& Cov Rugby of course

Well it has been stated as fact by many on here that no one else would ever want to buy the Ricoh, so no one can predict who is out there wanting to buy.

I'm confused as to why the newco have any first option to buy the Ricoh. I hope Simon can clarify where that has come from as my understanding was it belonged to CCFC Ltd.

The problem with that in football is the teams at the top think they will be there forever and therefore don't worry about the lower leagues. Imagine trying to persuade a Chelsea fan that they should get less TV money to help out Accrington. They response would be why should we help? Nothing to...

Love how you pretend to be outraged by such an event, when its quite clear you couldn't care less.

The main reason behind the trouble was one of the main sponsors went bust. Crowds had declined slightly in the same season which didn't help. However due to the trust and respect that exists between the fans and management at the Blaze, when the chairman put out a statement saying the fans...

My mates? Apart from exchanging pleasantries with Ray Lucas (Ann's fella) at the bar in the Old Shepherd I have no contact with the council.

Why? They are doing fine in Coventry.

And a city the size of Coventry should have a rugby team that is at least Championship level. Its a two way thing. The rugby club has also been poorly managed, through no fault of the fans. When they are the best supported team in the division then you cant ask anymore of the supporters.

Nottingham are the Newcastle of British Hockey. Brilliant support but rarely win anything.

Your being a bit unfair there. Cov Rugby and the Blaze get very respectable crowds, I am unsure of the Bees as they don't seem to publish that sort of information. Rugby League 1 Averages 13/14 1. Coventry 1208 2. Darlington 1205 3. Richmond 751 4. Fylde 705 5. Wharfdale 670 6. Esher 557 7...

Don't think anyone on the face of it would say 10K is good, my only argument is no other club would be getting more than that considering what we have been through. In the last 13 years think how many fans must have passed away. Every other club will have replaced them with new young fans...

Cov rugby get about a 1200, Blaze get around 2800, 11k for football is where I get our total 15k from.

And not every Leeds fan will be from Leeds.

I know plenty of people who just simply cant be bothered to go. They used to go out of loyalty and routine. The move to Northampton broke that. How can we expect people to have loyalty to something that stabbed them in the stomach?

40k fans attend Leeds sporting events (football & rugby). Around 5% of the city's population. 15k fans attend Coventry sporting events (football, rugby and hockey). Around 5% of the city's population. No I'm not claiming that we are better supported than Leeds, just that using the size of a...

So if your comment about us being the worst supported team for a city of our size wasn't based on a percentage, what was it based on?

Leeds United is worse.
