I thought they always played at the Butts, did I imagine that or did they move at some point?

St George one, would probably change the font to something more 'traditional' looking.

Careful Nick, I pointed that out earlier and got called an ACL lover for doing so!

If I remember correctly they were given to the club as part of the rent to resell at a profit. That changed once the rent strike started and anyone parking would have been paying ACL direct. You could well be correct, I think it was stated that the rent at Sixfields was higher than the last...

at what point does he have to reach the 15 games by? could be a safety net by the club in case Murph goes but still allowing him to leave if he stays or a replacement comes in. good sense from them if it is.

In my opinion the whole thing should have been setup as a non profit from day one. Not sure it then follows that everything is free as that would require subsidy but with no profit required prices for all uses should drop. There needs to be more vision from the council. They are now talking...

Excellent, will this be published in the manifesto? This is exactly the kind of thing you need to be getting out to people to gain support. Show some evidence of what the council have done wrong and I sure there will be a change of opinion amongst fans. Not all of them obviously as we all know...

There's a difference between trying to justify a price and discussion about why the price could be high. Lets make it simple. If the cost of staging the game is £5K and the hire charge is £5K then its a very reasonable offer from ACL. If the cost of staging the game is £1K and the hire charge is...

What exactly do you think is spin and not factually correct? The point I, and I assume duffer, were making was that it should be entirely possible to play the game, between two Coventry sides, at a ground closer to Coventry than Walsall. The fact that the ground that has been mentioned as a...

Indeed, maybe someone who thinks we should be protesting against the council should attend a trust meeting and propose it. In fact I seems to recall Robs group appears immediately after all the other groups had called for unity just serving to further split the fan base rather than taking a...

I think the poster is probably referring to events organised by your group as you are saying all sides are responsible but seem to be targeting only one.

Would that not also rule out the Ricoh as they've played home games there as well.

Not sure that's entirely accurate, what about the youngsters with no transport or the less mobile. The club have not done a great job of making sure people who can't get there under their own steam have been taken care of this season.

What are you on about? Leicester Reserves, CCFC Ladies, charity games and two small cup finals have all afforded to be stage games at the Ricoh but a Cup Final put on by Birmingham FA can not? That's not spin that's factual. There's nothing to suggest increased costs (looking at the pics on the...

Have to agree, this seems totally one sided. Also think it would probably be better to have this after the elections, having it a couple of weeks before will make people think this is politicised what with Get Cov Back to the Ricoh running a candidate. May well put some people off from...

Wonder if there is more to this story than we're hearing? Was wasting some time on the CET site and there's a match report and pictures from the Coventry Telegraph Cup at the Ricoh, article also mentions the Coventry Charity Cup at the Ricoh the week before. Seems a touch odd that its...

The key for me is how much it was going to cost ACL. If it was going to cost them £10K then as much as they've lost the business you could argue its a good commercial decision. If it was going to cost them £1K then they've messed this up and lost out as a result.

Speaking of which that's all gone a bit quiet hasn't it, what happened to the promised manifesto?

I went to the charity game and I don't know when all this stuff about Joe being welcomed like some sort of God happened as I certainly didn't see it. I went for various reasons: I was in Cov visiting my family, Hucks was playing and he's one of my favourites and it was for charity. There was...

My understanding was the £400K figure was first mentioned by Fisher in one of his CWR appearances as an acceptable / average rent. When it was offered it was £400K + matchday costs at which point he said that wasn't really £400K as it needed to be that level inclusive of matchday which led to...
