I think the Ricoh is better than most the new builds. I hate the 4 identical stands look like at Leicester. At least the Ricoh has 1 individual looking stand.

We didn't pay any in the last season ;)

Depends which way you look at it. In the first season the Ricoh generated an extra 5k fans per game. That equates to about £1.7m. Rent at the Ricoh was only £300k higher than at HR, and let's say f&b's were about £0.5 million. That means the club (even with a high rent) were nearly...

Well for once I can't disagree with anything you've wrote!

It is important to remember that the £1.3m rent equated to less than 4k people at a game. Whilst i think we can all agree the £1.3m rent was high, the 22.5k figure was mostly due to the shoddy way in which the club was/is run.

Not sure you can blame the fans, unless you mean they should have scrutinised the owners more at the time? I agree though, being a yoyo club would have been much better for all concerned.

Who's fault is that? Like I say, irrespective of owners, Ccfc is like a guide of how not to run a business.

Haven't read all of this thread, but surely from a business point of view (and irrespective of who the owner is), it has to be said the the organisation that is ccfc is 100% responsible for the mess its in? Try as you might but you can't blame the council on a football club that was a stable...

My personal point of view is come back to the Ricoh and I will go to most games. Come back to the Ricoh without sisu and I will get a season ticket. Build a new stadium 6 miles from Coventry and I might go to the odd game. Unfortunately a stadium not in the city will lead me to think of the...

The 0.9 miles being the difference between a straight run and a virtually straight run.

They haven't really specified what they mean by six miles so we dont know unfortunately.

I'd imagine you would have to go round the ring road a bit, then through the city centre traffic system, that's going to add on a bit. You might be on a straight run to the ring road, but unless you enter town from Gosford street its near impossible to be on a straight run to the council house.

Well you can see Brandon isn't far from the edge of that map. If your saying that the area on there is 9-10 miles then Brandon must be much more than 6 miles. Remember places sometimes seem further in the car as your not going in a straight line.

Your right he did say that. The city is slightly smaller on the south than it is on the north.

Its not, it is 6 miles. If you look Brinklow is on the edge of it.

This is a 6 mile radius of the Council House according to Google maps.

TGI Island is the boundary. Anything happening on the actual island would need CCC approval.

What are you talking about? She is a councillor, not a hedge fund owner. The only thing she ever sips is half a lager in the old shepherd.

Is that any different to creating a thread having a go at people who don't go to Northampton but then say they are glad they don't go?

That is the whole basis of the game of football. In the middle ages one Village would compete against another in trying to get a pigs bladder to a designated point.
