    Wilson going/ Fisher Plan

    Vicious rumours are not worth the posters effort. Kinda weakens this whole forum by posting lies as facts. nasty stuff and uncalled for. SkyBluestalk is better than that....this is not GMK

    Regardless of the rhetoric who thinks....

    Of all the comments so far they have been on the side of a 'return' being almost inevitable. An almost whopping 75% of you. So those almost 25% must be in disagreement with the basic premise that we will return? I'd like to hear your opinion also? This is not a slanging match or trying to weed...

    Regardless of the rhetoric who thinks....

    The Sky Blues will return and play at the Ricoh Arena whether they own or rent the stadium? It's a yes from me.

    In or around Coventry....does it matter?

    I can assure you the speedway team represent Coventry. My brother rode for them, I should know that! :)

    Worrying form - on results since new year we would be bottom of the league

    It's an observation but not very useful as a guide to anything that happens between now and next season.

    Why is Ricoh bowl not used?

    How many bands can attract 40k people? It's a limited market and others around are also in the same game i.e. NEC ACL will have much difficulty filling the void of a football club gone awol I'm afraid. It's just a sad fact for them. Unless it is used regular as well for football I doubt they...

    Seps programme notes.

    The "unencumbered freehold" is just rhetoric. A means to an end. If they were ever given the nod to a 125 year lease of the complex then you would see their tune change. If it didn't then Sep would need to be put in the asylum. With a 125 year lease they have all they need to sell on, invest...

    We are safe but....

    I don't see this 'exodus' of players many talk about? One good season is no guarantee of a repeat performance for Wilson. We have some good players at this level. The academy is producing good talent and at this level we should be able to add a few wise choices and experience to the squad that...

    Seps programme notes.

    I do tend to agree with this sentiment and one shared by so many but perhaps in simple terms if you were in their shoes what would you have done differently? Just accept whatever the council/ACL required you to do? Go on paying 1.2m plus match day cost for renting the pitch 23 times? Etc etc...

    In or around Coventry....does it matter?

    I'm getting tired of this get Cov back in Cov message now. Yes we want our team back home but to put a finite term such as "in Coventry" as a requirement is annoying. If we do have a new stadium then I am fine with it if it's in the Coventry area - as in say Brandon, Exhall for example. We...

    Avfc & bcfc

    I think the more likely is Brum joining us. Yet another club falling on difficult times. We are not alone.

    We are safe but....

    We are safe and have a squad requiring more tweaking for next season. The most alarming thing for me was the collapse after Leon Clarke went and Wilson was injured, the replacement loans who tbf were not very good and how Pressley coped with that. Overall I give him a ton of credit but that...

    'We'd be better off owning the Ricoh but sisu can't be trusted'?

    It's true to say we all want our club back in Coventry...goes without saying really. However it's not all about trust in SISU. The fact we all seem to ignore conveniently is that the Ricoh Arena was never our stadium in the first place was it? We have no home. We rented the pitch for match days...

    Relegation Thread

    I think they would have to win remaining games we lose ours and they also would need to score cricket scores...so we are safe.

    The doom and gloom.

    The doom and gloom is once again palpable on here. We will be fine. Next season starting without a points deduction and hopefully keeping the nucleus of our better players plus one or two wise additions and youngsters coming through will serve us well. Pressley has done well. The Clarke...

    SBK You must learn to quote someone with their quote or your argument falls flat. Unfortunately Fisher is not quoted saying these things is he? Now the Telegraph reports Coventry City say bl bl bla. That's a whole lot different and can be entirely subjective. Most likely is what the jouno reads...

    An (actual) alternative protest idea

    I think you should go just to feel what it's like inside there again and remind yourself what we are missing?!! Tbh though if you pay to go in then your supporting ACL. The idea of thousands parading outside the Ricoh on a match day however would not be lost on SISU or ACL would it? Both would...

    FAO Torch, Grendel, Covcity4life, Mark82

    I think what's needed here is some actual facts about the Ricoh. Who owns what, who runs and operates what? Before anyone can make wild opinions about what SISU should be doing and what ACL or the Council should be doing then you need to study exactly what is set up there currently. That makes...

    Everyone get to sixfields for the last "home" game

    Nick I don't think I've ever had disagreement with you before but here I do :) It's not about "get more than at the game" scenario. It's about the obvious reality that a whole lot of fans would attend a protest at the Ricoh because it's in Coventry and not 35 miles away! The amount you get...

    Everyone get to sixfields for the last "home" game

    Sixfields is a bad idea. Firstly you will not mobilise thousands and thousands to drive over there so as a protest it will fall flat. The idea of the Ricoh is two fold. 1. You will be able to get thousands and thousands agree to attend for a mere 90 minutes out of their day. 2. It opens up...
