    Ricoh Talks Failing and Butts More Attractive

    Must be lies, we only have to ask Wasps and they give us anything we need.

    Guess the old boy Mowbray has been speaking to?

    Turner would be a great signing if the medical staff are confident of his fitness. Baker's age would worry me, but again if he's fit and the price was right we could do worse. Always liked Tabb. Past that I'm struggling to think of anyone I'd welcome back.

    Mean while back in court

    I haven't seen the actual lease so I don't know what was in it but as we are repeatedly told it is an asset of the city I would expect a clause to force forfeiture should any insolvency event occur.

    Andy Turner - Load of Rubbish, it will never happen

    Don't remember the CT being concerned about those points when CCC were selling the stadium to Wasps and the local media were welcoming them with open arms.

    Andy Turner - Load of Rubbish, it will never happen

    Interesting to look at the CT headlines: 'A load of rubbish, it will never happen' 'Planned new Coventry City stadium not big enough' - fans' group urges Sky Blues owners to secure long-term deal at Ricoh Arena Council official says attempt to block football at Butts Park Arena was only a...

    Mean while back in court

    If the council issued the original lease to ACL without a clause that any insolvency event reverts ownership back to the council some very serious questions need to be asked about their incompetence.

    Not a fan of this points thing they're bringing in or the plan for day / night tests. The reason they aren't selling out tests is they've flooded the market. Late 80s / early 90s when I was a member at Warks you'd have 5 tests in the summer, 5 in the winter. Its non stop now.

    Butts park arena?

    Exactly, the Ricoh was too small when we played Chelsea in the cup and when we had the JPT final. Don't recall a clamour for it to be knocked down and a bigger stadium built.

    Butts park arena?

    A 25K stadium could easily mean 22,500 tickets for home fans, compared to 26,000 at the Ricoh. Not sure a difference of 3,500 equates to half the fanbase not being able to get tickets.

    England cricket

    Not the most inspiring start to the summer. 52-3 against Sri Lanka, Cook out for 16, Compton and Root both getting ducks.

    If that's the message you are trying to get across the statement in no way reads like that.

    Trust Statement About the Butts

    Not attacking. They say in the statement fans should be consulted. I'm a member, must have missed the email asking me what I thought about a potential move to the Butts. Nobody is saying there won't be issues to resolve, there would be with any proposal. But that isn't the same thing as...

    If it was 25K as has been mentioned by CRFC but is a better option for the club financially than the Ricoh would you not support it?

    Butts park arena?

    What if that isn't an option. What if the options are stay at the Ricoh as a lower end Championship team at best or move and be a top end Championship / lower end PL team? Why would you dismiss out of hand an alternative to staying at the Ricoh?

    Trust Statement About the Butts

    Not too impressed with that to be honest. It doesn't make sense. They say don't go to the Butts as it wouldn't allow PL football ignoring the fact clubs with smaller stadiums are in the PL and we have zero chance of getting to the PL as tenants of Wasps. It's odd that on here and social media...
