I only need SISU can't afford to run the Ricoh and I've got a full house on italia bingo.

Don't forget they also used it to pay back the owner. Imagine if SISU had managed to buy the Ricoh and then mortgaged it to the hilt to pay themselves back.

But they haven't got a sponsor to do it. They are looking for a sponsor to pay for it. Why can't the self proclaimed richest club in Europe pay for a new (not refurb of Higgs, that's not what was promised) state of the art trainng ground in Coventry?

Why did people stop attending when we moved to the Ricoh? We were still in the city boundary.

No i'm saying 3K on a petition from a team with an average 5K attendance is pretty impressive. Especially when their forum bans anyone who speaks against the move.

Wasn't their average attendance about 5K?

I've got a picture in my head of kids running up to CJ yelling sic with faces painted, wearing half and half scarfs while doing the mexican wave!

Italia does, all the Wasps fans he talks to that go to the Ricoh don't mind them being at the Ricoh :facepalm:

He's not short on confidence is he!

£24m was quoted just for matchday revenues. The formula price to buy the Higgs share was in the region of £10m.

But you don't know what happened before all the PR and walking out. From what I have been told the move to Northampton was initiated as the club couldn't get ACL to the table to negociate a better deal. They claimed they didn't need CCFC so the current deal could be left to run its course in a...

And CCC had a veto over any sale of Higgs share.

You can't possibly know that as it was never placed on the open market. There were many who thought there would be no other interest apart from CCFC, turned out to be wrong so how can anyone assert with any confidence there wouldn't have been others interested? Even if there wasn't you only...

I can see the point you're making. That if it will cost us £20m for a new ground why not bid £20m for ACL. However that brings you back to the council's sale process. If it had been placed on the open market and muliple potential purchasers came forward it would have driven the price up and...

I imagine you would have everyone up in arms and thousands of people marching through the streets in protest.

To be fair she also said CRFC had been fully involved yet CRFC said they hadn't been.

By not playing on Saturdays so their fixtures don't clash. Oh hang on they went back on that after less than a year didn't they?

Bit harsh. We've been in the same position and I can't imagine this place being too positive if someone poached TM.

Reeves is still at CCC, this is from the CT earlier this year: and Chris West:
