Grendel, this has been explained before. Some people object on moral grounds to defaulting on a legal debt. Other people object because they don't see how it can work without lots of trouble. You disagree, presumably because you think it is moral to break an "unfair" rental agreement AND you...

FL: defending the indefensible. Parliament has threatened to take a closer look if the football authorities don't get their house in order. That time is now. Supporting CCFC is like supporting an old relative who is accused of being a dirty old man. Other people shout at or shun you.

Because a succession of owners were piling debt onto the club, not by buying players but by charging management fees and the like? The bottom line is that CCFC have had a big enough income over the last 10 years to pay the rent and break even and be moderately successful, ie. Still mid table...

Myself + 1 won't be renewing if SISU still in charge. We will not attend any home matches either, unless IN Coventry. I live 5 miles from Walsall too but wont go, except, possibly to the away fixture. 40 years of support flushed down the toliet. Our club has been kidnapped and we should not...

I have always had mixed feelings about the Ricoh but, right now, the thought of a home game there with SISU gone would be like I'd died and gone to Heaven.

Why, indeed? Some might care if they are informed of the issues, as, like Walsall fan WFC, who posts on here, they might be interested in the good of the game. Alternatively, they may feel if it happens to Cov it could happen to us. Even if a few held up banners of support or chants, it might...

Delboy, I salute you. An excellent summary. Those who see the so-called logic of a new stadium have accepted that CCFC is a nonentity with no history, no pride and no integrity. If it happens I'm done. 40 years of support and I feel like that is just being flushed down the toilet.

I live near Walsall! I wont be going to any "home" games there. I might attend the away game, depending if I have shaken off the virus that supporting CCFC is.

We are all just guessing and I'm sure some fans will go but my guess, FWIW is we will be down to about 3500. Remember going to Walsall on a nice Saturday in August, after 3 months without football, is a bit different to going in the dark winter months. I think the majority of our fans are...

We all know that, but how is taking on yet more debt, and slashing your income in the meantime, a solution?

N/a as I go to only localish away games. Therefore never on the agenda. We get your point but I think most fans don't know or don't care about other clubs, wrongly, of course. It is time to try to change that not harp on about the past which we can now do nothing about.

May I suggest to those with the wherewithal to organise these things that we lobby fans of all other clubs to boycott their away fixture v. Coventry City. An empty stadium would be a strong protest.

Yes, saying not a word of criticism of SISU [except that old chestnut, "of course SISU have made mistakes" :facepalm:] but constantly criticising ACL/CCC/Higgs/SBTrust is being "balanced" on other forums! :thinking about: This forum has no in-crowd or picked on individuals and is all the better...

when Jesus WASHED... He washed my sins away .... Maybe wash debts away [nb, Debt is the Victorian rendering of Sins] :D Told you I was a teacher!:pointlaugh:

Hate to say it but my gut feeling is that it will be a long, slow death. Hope I'm wrong. I think we will be playing away to crowds of 3000 with a team of kids and misfits, in the relegation struggle. Hope I wake up to see my other half emerge from the shower and everything since 1999 is a...

Walsall is 15 mins drive from my house but I wouldn't go if the current owners are still in place.

Away from the Ricoh I can see it being an average of 3,500 tops. 1500 season tickets + 1500 casuals + 500 ish away fans. Guesses, of course, but seriously, how many will keep going "away" to home games through the winter?

Just had a quick look as I do tend to hang on to stuff season ticket 1994/95 is headed, Coventry City Football Club with no further info Season ticket 2004/05 has a VAT number on 655 1339 37 Renewal letter 2008/09 has at the base of the letter, Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) Limited...

I see nobody has given any evidence that CCFC have been "ripped off" by ACL. Again opinions are based on what exactly? I repeat, I don't know if the deal on the rent was fair, a rip off, or somewhere in between. Yet others build a "I support CCFC whatever, don't cloud the issue with facts"...

SBTaylor, you recognise my first point was valid. Read it again and you will see the first point WAS the point, the rest of my post was an exposition of that point. The rest of your post was not a response to mine since I had raised none of the points you take issue with.
