which just means it's all pointless. I could get an architect to draw me up some plans but if I don't tell him I've only got 10 acres and £250K and he does something that needs 50 acres and will cost £5m it's all a bit of a pointless exercise.

depending on exactly how tied down the council are by the JR he could have dropped himself / SISU in a spot of bother there.

evil council have misled everyone blah blah blah coventry area blah blah blah need to own the stadum blah blah blah nothing new really, same as on CWR this morning. looked absolutly terrified.

I wish they would stop putting these idiots out in public, it's embarassing. Is there suddenly a huge demand for 60 acre sites in the 'Coventry area'? They seem very worried about somebody sneeking in and buying the site from under them, surely anyone that was desperate for a site like that...

No reason you'd need to know minor details like that when designing something!!!

it has to be cheaper to do everything in one go. of course that assumes that there is any plan for the future expansion to really happen.

How is the land zoned around the Ricoh? Is there any reason the remain land there or ajoining land couldn't have been used to build these facilites. To be honset I couldn't care less where the academy is located and where the team train (within reason!), doesn't make any difference to me if I go...

Of course not but the Ricoh is one of only an handful of venues that gets repeat business from 3 of the major promoters. The Ricoh and the team have been nominated for several industry awards which should give you an indincation of how highly regarded they are. Given that it seems unlikely...

Looking at what they've released today there seems very little scope for generation of extra revenues outside of matchday. And if, as we suspect, it is not particularly well located they have even less chance. If you look at most new stadia they get one or two concerts when they first open and...

For me I need all that and I need some details of the financials and how this is better for us than going back to the Ricoh. If they could show a clear business case for what they have planned I would be prepared to give it a fair examination but they can't give that and anytime any question...

Anyone that works for them without getting paid upfront has only got themselves to blame when they end up out of pocket.

Sounds like ACL have had caller ID installed!

The FA, Football League, UEFA and FIFA need to get a grip. Put strict rules in place and if the EU or anyone else start telling them they aren't allowed to challenge them. Look at the likes of the NHL, you can't get away with any of this shit there they just don't stand for it.

just listening back to it again, Labovitch states that the Rioch is unsustainable with £14m of debt (what he calls huge debts). Given that this stadium is a third of the size and missing all the additonal facilities how low are SISU going to have to keep the borrowing. Well either that or he's...

Didn't Garlick say she'd seen the plans yet this morning Labovitch said there were no plans and they would be shown to fans as soon as they were ready?

You don't have a problem that for a third of our games we would be locking people out of the stadium? You don't have a problem that we will be losing a major revenue stream? When that causes the average to drop shall we take out a few more seats and lower the capacity?

Where did you find that? Any more pics of Brentford's stadium? Nice to see we're now aiming to be at a lower level than Brentford.

The key word there is average. 8 games last season had crowds that would have been too big for the proposed stadium, a further 2 probably would have been when you take into account home / away split and segregation. That of course means that even if we had a similar season attendance wise (don't...

Well that's confirmation then, clealy if they were bluffing they would make sure the Coventry Observer knew all about it.

The club had an option to buy back a 50% stake in ACL, and therefore access to 50% of the revenues, yet they never exercised that option. ACL also offered a rental deal that would give the club ACLs share of matchday revenues, rejected by the club. If they purchased 50% of ACL with a view...
