Thanks for the informative post, at the end of the day it still looks like nearly the same situation to me. To get rid of ACL, the club either need to buy out ACL or purchase the rights to the Ricoh from ACL, which in all honesty ACL will never do. So if ACL would go into administration, then...

I'll be the first to admit I have limited knowledge on how business and the stadium ownership works and it doesn't help with all the contradictions and spin from all sides but surely if what you are saying is true then ACL going bust would make a deal for the Ricoh more viable? Then like I said...

Terrible mismanagement of the club, but the logic that we should continue to be ripped off because we went with it for the previous years is crazy for a supporter of the club The best solution would be if both SISU and ACL fucked off tomorrow into the abyss, neither of them to be ever...

Yes but in a recent interview with Labovitch it was suggested that the 40 year lease of ACL was a stumbling block in negotiations with the council, they want ACL out of the equation as part of a deal with the council over the stadium. That was the general gist I got from the interview with...

If I'm buying an item and don't know its true value and I pay £1000 for it, then I find the same item for £100 would I feel ripped off by the seller? Yes I would I agree we only have ourselves to blame for agreeing to it but then what annoys me is when people make ACL out to be heroes and that...

Any Coventry fan who makes a choice not to sign this, is either stupid or not a Coventry fan.

Coventry vs Rotherham in 2002? I'd guess we had a few called off before the breakaway of the premier league also

I'd say on the face if it, without knowing all the details then yes it looks a fair deal but I can't really blame the club for not wanting to work with ACL after they knowingly ripped us off for so many years

Not everyone accepted it was excessive though, there were a large number of people when we first refused to pay the rent who said that we should continue to pay it because we had previously agreed to and we had been previously happy to pay it for past years. I also distinctly remember CJ giving...

Q5. What do match day expenses cover? Please define the costs involved? A5. Match-day costs include, contributions towards the groundsman ( previously employed by the club and now by ACL), the pitch treatments, the equipment to maintain the pitch, a contribution towards match-day...

Not really a dark horse though, are they? They would have been promoted last season had it not been for a crossbar. They invested in the summer and have one of the biggest budgets in the league and they've been around the top of the table since November time.

Is anyone from the KCIC campaign contacted/going on 5 live tomorrow when they are talking about http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/5live/posts/MPs-call-for-fan-power-football-in-clubs

At this rate, he'll be back at QPR without playing a game. Only a 28 day loan

It does highlight the absurdity of the situation though, with these postponements and then trying to reschedule the games around Coventrys, Northamptons and the away teams schedule when there is a perfect pitch sitting in Coventry. It's a shitty situation but the way a few go on you would...

Yes, you are correct. If we were at the Ricoh then they definitely wouldn't be postponed but we're not going to be fined because of 2 postponements

The majority of teams have only played 30/31 (including todays) so we're not that far behind (29), only Notts and Bristol have 32. Postponements are a regular occurrence at this level, difference was in years gone by we were fortunate to have an excellent stadium where it didn't usually happen...

Crawley have only played 2 games since December 29th because of the weather. They have 7 games in hand on some teams

Does his contract expire at the end of the season then?

I reckon we would have been relegated this season if it wasn't for the -10...

Top 6 minimum, although we're almost certainly going to lose a couple of players at least.
