I really don't think we need to pander to those few who think this might be a good idea. For the good of two famous old sporting clubs it has to be no, and it has to be a no now. I know you are very diplomatic by nature Otis, but sometimes people are just plain wrong and they have to be told.

No information was forthcoming, and the deal is being rushed through tomorrow without any consultation. The horse has bolted. Cov RFC have been royally shafted.

3rd tier, which is a travesty for that club. Watched then as a kid when the team used to be full of England internationals. Attended a cup semi-final once where the gate was 12,000 - in Coundon Road. Now that was a squeeze.

Indeed. Think a good turn out would lift everyone's spirits, least of all it would send a message to the players that we haven't given up on them just yet. Think Exeter are bringing a few - over 500 which is pretty decent all things considered.

Straight to pens. No ET.

I agree. It is why pursuing a new stadium in Warwickshire would be doomed to fail. It would actually be much easier to build one in Coventry. They could just buy the one we have..ooops too late, That's gone. What the fuck do we do now?

No North Stand, so even if it is a similar gate to Saturday, will feel less sparse I suppose.

Average gates in our last 6 Premiership seasons were: 20,582 (relegation year) 20,809 20,773 19,718 19,625 18,507 ...so they didn't fall.

I understand that, was just pointing out that crowd tomorrow will be bigger than what most people think.

Couldn't care. More important things at stake than settling old scores now I think. Some really interesting stuff coming out of this meeting now. A united front between CCFC and Cov RFC? I fear it's all too late. Horse has bolted. Anne Lucas wins.

Ex-politician I think. Talking sense.

If our attendance tomorrow is less than 8000 I will eat my own foot. Asked in the TO today and they said they are expecting 10K.

No, it's idiotic in the extreme and an absolutely terrible deal for the Coventry ratepayers (it represents a very modest return on the amount invested). The City Council own swathes of land all over Coventry that they could sell on at any given time and fill their coffers, but they choose to...

He's referring to Cov RFC.

When you have a 50 year lease it amounts to the same thing.

It's this the fete of this city's football club we're talking about here. And the CEO of ACL is against the sale so we're led to believe - it is being forced through by the other board members i.e. the council/Higgs. Yeah, let's relinquish control of the civic 'asset' we have bleated on about...

On the contrary, he'd be laughing. All the stick he received about Sixfields and there he is sat in front of the same people who dished it out now gleeful at the prospect of another historic club being ripped from its supporters. Who is there representing us tonight? Shame on them.

But isn't everyone in agreement that a new stadium will never happen? If that is their justification for this nonsense then they are more stupid that I thought.

Within the city boundary it wouldn't be major issue, unless it was a nature reserve or something similar. It's when you encroach into greenbelt at the edge of the conurbation that you run into problems. If you incorporated housing and employment provisions into the application I doubt the...

What? Of course people can see that. Are you stupid? But why does that mean we all have to sign up to the utterly pointless and damaging sale of ACL to a group of businessmen with an agenda that is not known? Are ACL losing money? No. Why would the council sell needlessly and expose the...
