    now it’s becoming a reality moving from the ricoh - Letter from EFL to CCFC

    Has it played out, got a decade left to run or will it never end? Its a pretty simple concept. SISU are bound by the laws of the land and the legal process the same as everyone else. However pointless we may think it is they are perfectly entitled to exhaust that process. It is finite and will...

    How much does a 10,000 seater stadium cost to build ?

    Everyone kept saying not a chance about us moving to Northampton. It was all going to be sorted at the last minute but look what happened.

    Tommy Robinson

    Have you got a link? Looked on his facebook and there's a post from an hour ago saying it was still being edited and wouldn't be available until tomorrow. When was it scheduled to air? To be fair the topic of Panorama often gets changed at short notice due to it being a current affairs program...

    Tommy Robinson

    So to be clear you are attacking the BBC over a program you haven't seen that hasn't aired based on the contents of a documentary by Robinson that you also haven't seen?

    Tommy Robinson

    Doesn't really help himself does he. Got his spokesman claiming that 8K turned up when it is clearly, at best, half that. Then blames the fact that is below their 10K estimate on the police closing the Manchester Subway when the event was in Salford and there is no subway. Have you got a link...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Lost again. Allegedly 12K there, nowhere near looking at the pictures on twitter. Twitter cracks me up when they are playing. You get the rugby fans moaning that there are non-rugby fans there, people singing and swearing. You get the fans moaning how shit Wasps are, and increasingly people...

    No there doesn't. You let the legal process play out, confident in victory. Rolling one year deal on the current terms with an annual inflation increase until the legals are done then open talks about the longer term - its easy if the parties involved are willing.

    How much does a 10,000 seater stadium cost to build ?

    I like the idea of a sporting quarter. Put a new stadium where the tax office used to be, use the bit of retail 6 where Burger King and American Golf are as well - should easily be big enough. Then you've got CCFC, CRFC, Coventry Bear and Coventry Blaze all in the same area. Right on the ring...

    What loans did the council take out? Their own completion reports states they put in £10m themselves and nothing outstanding in loans. There was a bridging loan from Prudential but "This amount has been secured from Arena Coventry Limited through the payment of their lease premium". No I'm...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Seems the Independent Group have said they will back May. Allen has said they will do nothing that might trigger an election (as they will lose their seats) and Shuker has suggested they could replace the DUP and have a confidence and supply arrangement with the Conservatives.

    Simple Facts - where would you put your money

    Southampton certainly will have grounds for legal action if Blackpool don't get a deduction. Absolute farce if they get away with it.

    Ann Lucas

    The council didn't take a huge financial burden, the amount of there own money they put in to the project was minimal. We also wouldn't have been in this position 15-20 years ago as despite having sold HR we had a buy back option. If you cast your mind back you'll recall the absolute panic the...

    Simple Facts - where would you put your money

    2 is the most likely outcome and should be the one all fans groups are pressuring for instead of pissing about trying to force a sale to Hoffman. 4 would be the 'plan b'. Can't see there being any chance for any of the other options.

    Joy will sell if someone offers her the right price. Problem is the price thats right for her is not what anyone will pay.

    now it’s becoming a reality moving from the ricoh - Letter from EFL to CCFC

    Whats the other option? Keep a team in the league that has nowhere to play, the only other thing they can do is approve a move out of the city.

    Still laughing...

    I like the 'if SISU are listening' bit. Can just see Joy sat listening to the phone in on a Friday night. Do they not have a delay on CWR, would have thought that would be a standard thing for a phone in.

    now it’s becoming a reality moving from the ricoh - Letter from EFL to CCFC

    Why is there a vote? Surely not having a ground means you can't fulfil your fixtures. What happens when its then the first day of the season and there's still nowhere to play?

    now it’s becoming a reality moving from the ricoh - Letter from EFL to CCFC

    This is glossed over too often. As pointless as we all know the legal action is sets a dangerous precedent if you also public bodies to essentially blackmail other parties in to dropping legal action. None, the council has huge reserves they can use to cover this in the short-term and then...
