Good luck with that :)

Not so sure about that - each of the three areas appear to be almost Ricoh-sized. But I agree that the locations in and around a complex series of junctions are awkward. It still feels barmy to even imagine the city having two large stadiums, located at successive junctions of the M6 on the...

Sorry to distract from what we can all agree has been a very productive debate, by posting something on-topic. Apologies if it’s already been raised by someone else, but I’ve noticed that a few days ago Rugby Borough Council published their proposed Local Plan for consultation...

Glazier 60s

I feel like Fisher about this – something along the lines of “I get the anger but I don’t understand the surprise”. From around Christmas time before the Wasps sale, Lucas made it absolutely obvious that another buyer was interested and was prepared to meet the Council’s expectations far more...

Just one question for everyone who thinks the Council and Higgs should have sold the stadium to CCFC. When did we ever put in a bid that was even close to being accepted? To draw a football analogy, we didn’t lose 4-3 in the final to a last minute offside goal. We lost 6-nil in the...

These worries are very rational I’m afraid! It seems to me that the nature of SISU’s business is not to pay full price for anything. I’m a bit like that, which is why the Christmas presents people get from me are from the previous January sales. It’s all very well if you can pick up a big...

Presumably all the reporters, all the city’s local government officers, and all the elected members from all the parties? I guess like Grendel you believe the whole lot of them have had an agenda to screw Coventry City Football Club, not just since SISU took over but for years before that? Not...

No, there is just one reason - that it fits 100% with everything SISU have said and done all the way through. At every stage they have made absolutely clear that they didn't want to buy the stadium (or even half of it) with all the debt intact. So we don't own it. Which is surely a very good...

Don't worry tisza - there's a guy on here called Ian who was born in 1779, and Tony is 176.

48 is the new 18 :)

I googled this, and it turns out to be Finnish for “heads of agreement”.

This for me is the absolute crux of it all. I don’t regard the high rent as a greedy fleecing of the club, but an inevitable consequence of the Council and the Higgs getting sucked into the whole unaffordable project. The same goes for the formula for buying back the club’s share. SISU...

Yeah, it’s a dangerous place. Any poorly-considered remark can be retrieved by some terrifying process years later and thrown back in your face. And there are teams of people who see it as their spare-time duty to keep a count of which threads you read. The exact assessment criteria haven’t...

I rate Maddison as the best young player we have produced in many years, and I really thought our early season form was largely down to him. It only goes to show how brilliantly TM has done to get us at (or near) the top of the league without him. If he comes back strong, it will be like...

No, but I kind of get what he means - the way Ricketts and Stokes contribute to attacking moves is probably beyond what Willis could do at full back. Prefer him at centre back myself, where he would be good cover I think.

We all feel the same pain SB, but I hope you’re wrong about never having an opportunity. The Ricoh can easily support two successful sports clubs, and in fact is more viable that way. Somebody somewhere must have an answer. I hope I'm not pushing up the daisies by the time it happens.

If it was a simple as that, I’d agree with you. But what the JR said about the events of 2012 was far more complex. There were pages and pages of it, and the judge decided that the actions of the Council and the Higgs were taken to protect themselves from being stitched up. Maybe he was...

That's the one for me :)

Oldham 19th December - £10 adults, £5 concessions, £1 kids I think http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/tickets-coventry-city-oldham-athletic-christmas-cracker-2793931.aspx Cheaper than using a "match package" voucher.
