Aren't we tied in to using certain suppliers as ACL have done deals with them, and received payment for those deals? That means they can charge us pretty much what they like as we can't go elsewhere so when, for example, we buy F&B in for corporate there is little room to add a margin.

We've had 8 attendance of over 15K since 2012. The majority of those haven't been more than 16K. The best way to show 15K is too small is to have more than 15K there every game next season.

Unless you think we're suddenly going to double season ticket sales that won't be a problem. If and when we move to a new ground existing season ticket holders will no doubt get first option on renewals. If we then reach a point that we are doing so well it is sold out every week isn't that a...

Highly doubt it is coincidence that both clubs are highlighting Coventry in their marketing.

Don't overthink it. If the club can be made self sustaining then SISU can stick around for the next 50 years if they want without it costing them a penny. Even if its the slimmest chance in the world there could always be someone who will pay them £60m or a fluke promotion to the PL. Why leave...

Can the club place on the website a summary of the accounts year by year since SISU's takeover. Something similar to which Everton produced. Would be good to have everything in one place as a reference for when we get situation similar to Juggy's article claiming millions have been taken out.

Have the club looked at other sites within the city boundary (e.g.: Browns Lane, derelict site next to the fire station)?

Can the club present a financial forecast for the club based on: 1) staying at the Ricoh long term 2) a ground share at the Butts 3) a new stadium in Coventry 4) a new stadium outside Coventry Appreciate there are unknown factors so it won't be an exact science but they should be able to...

Looking on street map it looks like part of it is still in use by National Grid to park their vans. Rest of the site is overgrown and deteriorating. Doesn't look like they've actually done anything other than just use a piece of spare land so in may just be in use until something else is built...

Ricoh (just the stadium bowl itself, not the halls) is about 8 acres. This is a good tool to use to find out: https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-area-calculator-tool.htm

Does anyone know who owns it or if there is anything planned for the site? Should get the question asked at the next SCG.

Impossible question when you don't know location, costs, other facilities etc. Maybe they could do it for nothing, just issues bonds against the stadium.

In a word yes! We have a club losing millions and he's saying there's loads of money left over every season that the owners are taking out.

Prices aren't higher next season than they have been previously so average price is unlikely to top the previous high of £12.

Contaminated?

But where do you draw the line? Could I have a piece about the EDL march today saying 5,000 of them turned up all dressed up as Hitler goose-stepping around town?

This is your problem. The contract didn't say it was owed! You can't say on the face of it. There was three specific circumstances in which SISU were liable for Higgs costs. None of those situations occurred so they weren't liable.

Both would be tight but I think workable. Obviously a new stadium doesn't have to be exact replica of the Ricoh but it gives a decent idea.

The club is running at a loss, SISU had to put more money in this season to cover the shortfall and also Maddison had to be sold. How do you get from there to SISU taking out millions?

Contract says you don't owe me anything. Would you still pay if I think you owe me?
