Am I missing something? What does that article have to do with CRFC and Rossborough?

It really isn't that complicated. The CCFC forum is for things predominantly CCFC, in an ideal world it would all be football related but unfortunately in our situation there is a lot of topics related to our owners, the council, a new ground etc etc. The Wasps sub forum was created as there...

It's a question that has been asked before but from what I can tell so far nether CCC or Higgs have confirmed they received full payment at the time of the sale.

It won't but that's a figure you've just completely made up so I'm not sure what point there is debating it. I would suggest, from experience of our fanbase, that should we achieve promotion to the Championship there would be more than 6K turning up. Especially if they thought we could mount a...

No I'm not, but staying at the Ricoh will ensure that's exactly what we are. On a par with the likes of Yeovil. At present the only option I can see, either under SISU or preferably new owners, is a new ground. As we know we haven't established if this is financially viable. If it is I suspect...

No we should strive to get the club in a position where we can sustain being in the Championship or higher.

What makes you think we would be any different? We know we won't be able to achieve a competitive budget in the Championship, exactly the same problem Yeovil had, so what would lead you to believe we would fare differently to them?

They did far better than anyone expected and got promoted via the playoffs. They then were unable to compete in the Championship and finished bottom of the league only winning 8 games. The momentum from that relegation saw them relegated again this season again finishing bottom of the league but...

There's certainly an arguement to be made for that. Would depend on how the cost of expansion compares with the cost of building larger initially. Of course if Fisher came out and said he was planning a 30K stadium everyone would say we didn't need it and he was mad. So not the king of revenue...

If we were in the PL we'd have the money to put an additional tier on and double the capacity. Also, ticket money would most certainly not be the revenue king.

Depends on the configuration and how the expansion was done. If you have something similar o Fulham you just take it back down again. If it's a permanent additional tier you mothball it. If its like the expansion at Brighton you close of sections to reduce costs.

Isn't this the same argument Richardson gave for leaving HR?

You can if it is expandable.

Again, you don't know what facilities any new ground will have, what the projected usage will be and how that will relate to actual usage in the event the bloody thing ever gets built. Every other club in the country does it but for some reason you think its impossible for us.

No they haven't, in fact CCC have said it is not possible for a stadium to be inside the city boundary. However the three sites I used as an example earlier are hardly miles away in the middle of nowhere. But that isn't what is being said. There are many people on here writing off a new...

You were just saying there would be less people going, now you're moaning it will only hold 16K!

Well obviously that depends on the facilities. Most have meeting rooms which are hired out. Some have conference facilities (on a far smaller scale than the Ricoh), some hire the ground out to other organisations. HR used to be hired out to the Jehovah's!

You don't know if the crowds will reduce. If the extra revenue allows us to get back into the PL I have a suspicion all the issues with the ground being too far away, no parking, no train station etc would suddenly disappear.

First things first we don't know how far away from Coventry it will be. People are talking like its confirmed to be miles away. There's just as much chance it will be somewhere like Ansty, Broadstreet or Warwick Uni literally a step over the boundary. Franky if it was a location like that and...

How many clubs in the Championship are running at break even? If there are any they all have 365 revenue access so are ahead of us. That's before you consider all the teams making a gamble for the PL by making a nice dent in the £13m a year losses FFP allows. How on earth do you expect us to be...
