    Joining 'Greater Birmingham' would be good for the City, says Ann Lucas..

    Does this mean our new stadium is going to be in the Birmingham area rather than Coventry area :whistle:

    An apology

    We haven't had a good flounce since Italia was 'never going again' every week!

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    So what would you propose as a solution or are you happy to accept that our current level, with occasional seasons in the Championship is as good as it gets? We know that's our future staying at the Ricoh so why the reluctance to even consider other options? People aren't saying lets break...

    Wasps to pay back Ricoh Arena loan "within days"

    Sure there has been some example of our fans stirring up trouble but the discussion I saw on there was regarding long term posters, people who had been posting long before the move to Cov, who had spoken out against the move and / or bond issue and then been banned. Glad that kind of thing...

    SISU, Swansea and CCFC

    There's an interesting point buried in there. As bad as things have been under SISU we need to remember the downward spiral has not been solely under SISU's management. During this extended downward period we have had god knows how many managers, numerous complete overhauls of the squad, several...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    Pretty obvious isn't it? To illustrate the viability of a new stadium project, or indeed to show that it is preferential to staying at the Ricoh you need to have full details of the proposal. That is information, that in the unlikely event it even exists, is not in the public domain. You would...

    Favorite EVER CCFC Player

    Hucks just for the excitement everytime he got the ball. Don't think he ever knew what he was going to do let alone anyone else. Dion is probably the best player since I've been going, should have played more games for England in my opinion.

    Wasps to pay back Ricoh Arena loan "within days"

    Actually if you look on their forum there's been people complaining that anyone who has said anything against the move to Cov or the bond issue has been banned. The equivalent would be Nick banning anyone who said anything against SISU or their new stadium, sure you wouldn't support that kind of...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    Nobody, except possibly SISU, would be able to give any more than a hugely hypothetical response to that. It could be done but not sure what purpose it would serve.

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

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

    Jimmy hill statue moving to gosford green?

    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...

    Lucas sad that ccfc don't run ricoh

    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.

    To Stay or Go

    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...

    To Stay or Go

    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...

    To Stay or Go

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

    To Stay or Go

    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?

    To Stay or Go

    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...

    To Stay or Go

    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...
