Selling a fixed asset to fund a stadium worked out well last time didn't it?

Sorry for caring about Ccfc. Don't worry though, my pashion and love for the club is slowly disappearing. By the summer I predict Ccfc will no longer mean anything to me and I can get on with my life.

I don't think we should be insulting her personally. The complete lack of substance in her argument is more than enough to criticise her for.

Its not ok with me when absolutely no attempt has been made to move back within the city.

Looking at Wikipedia it seems they did race a few times at Lythalls Lane, (last time in 1936), but they were founded at Brandon.

Someone should ask her exactly how much taxpayers money has been "wasted on it". All I ever hear from the anti council side is generic vague tripe.

Higgs would be hauled up before the Charity Commission if they simply wound up a profitable asset.

They would have gone bust in 2003. But they would have gone into admin owning half of the Ricoh project, which would have made them very attractive to investors.

There was a local poll done at the time jointly by the Coventry Telegraph and Mercia which stated 90% of local people wanted the council to continue building the Ricoh without the club having any ownership. CCFC, the Telegraph, CWR, the fans, and other local media all got what they wanted with...

What exactly would you like the council to do?

No. The Speedway team were not founded in the city, have never operated within the city, and spent a great number of years called the Brandon Bees. How far out from the city does the club have to move before you find it unacceptable?

RFC, Andreasb, Gregogee

Go away smelly head.

Anyone who actively supports a new stadium outside the city is not a true fan. I don't see how a Coventry fan would assist in Coventry playing outside of Coventry.

Its been said a few times on here before that their outstandingly incompetent.

What in practical terms do you want the council to do?

Does Paul Fletcher mention in his book about his signature being on the original rental agreement?

The council dont NEED to do anything, that's the whole point. Its sisu/ccfc that NEED a stadium, they should be the ones to get the ball rolling.

That's for sisu to decide. At present the Ricoh isn't for sale, if a good enough offer comes in it is, perfectly simple. Just like ccfc isn't for sale, however if a rich Arab put in a good offer then im sure sisu would sell.
