    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Probably be quite tricky to get a grant from them if they don't exist anymore :laugh: did anything similar replace it or do it just get cut? EDRF has state aid implications, can't be used to distort the market so might be a non starter even if stadium redevelopment did meet their criteria.

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Its possible of course, we don't know any of the details so pretty much anything is possible. For all we know it could be a 80K underground stadium :p

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    The Ricoh had £4.4m from European Regional Development Fund and £4.8m from Advantage West Midlands. To get an ERDF grant the Butts redevelopment would have to qualify as sustainable urban development. AWM is a lot more vauge, you could get pretty much anything to meet their requirements so I...

    That was gutting. What a way to get a career ending injury.

    Video City 5 Notts Forest 4 (League Cup)

    Cracking game. Loved night games when I was younger. Was stood on the kop, probably the best game I've been to in person. Took a few years off my life as well!

    Martin Lorentzson

    Think he'll be on the bench and if all is going well will get at least a run out to get some match time.

    Shef Utd v Cov on Sky

    According to their website you can use: More info here: http://help.nowtv.com/article/Supported-devices And its cheaper than I thought, 6.99 not 7.99. For the handful of times we're on its worth it IMO, better than messing around with dodgy streams.

    Shef Utd v Cov on Sky

    The way I do it is through the now TV app on AppleTV. Think you can get the app on PS / XBox as well. Basically you go to watch Sky Sports and it gives you the option to pay £7.99 for 24 hours.

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    My starting point would be CRFC gets full benefit of any rugby events, CCFC gets any benefit of any football events. The rest then gets split on some basis but if we're assuming CCFC / SISU are in someway funding the redevelopment then they would get most of the benefit. For me the key point is...

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Or Wasps PR thought it would be a bad idea to buy the stadium and move in while we were still playing at Northampton.

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Doubt that would be the arrangement. If SISU were to pay for a huge redevelopment of the Butts they aren't going to hand it over to CRFC and then pay them rent to play there. Personally I would set up a joint venture co set up in such a way that CCFC got the majority of the income, as they...

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    I have been told there was a meeting with CRFC and they were very receptive to SISU's ideas. In the past Rossborough has been on CWR saying they have a very good relationship with the club and would do anything they could to help them if asked. Would anything be possible without CRFC giving it...

    And if we're talking about the Butts at the very least didn't leave CRFC worse off.

    Supporters' group tells Coventry City FC owners to clarify stadium plans

    Do people who like the idea of a stadium at the Butts actually think it is happening or just like the idea of a city centre stadium that we own and can fill?

    Not bothered about missing that at all. Although we could have had a special ceremony for Carl Baker :p

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    It was like that but didn't the Wasps share prospectus state that it didn't revert to the council just reverts to 50 years rather than 250 or something like that.
