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

    Is that a serious question? It's been explained over and over again why stadium ownership is not required. In short stadium ownership does not give SISU access to a single penny of extra revenue. Ownership of ACL, or ownership of the lease, gives access to revenues,

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

    They have but repeating something that is factually incorrect a thousand times doesn't magically make it correct.

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

    Not a speedway fan but a quick google shows that the Bees were founded in 1928 which is coincidentally around the time Brandon was built. It appears they did stage some races in the city at a greyhound track, funnily enough close to where the Ricoh is now, but it seems that for pretty much...

    Renting Vs Ownership

    You're going yo have to explain this to me as I'm not getting it. We are currently losing millions every year, let's say £5m. If we increase turnover but have no increase in profit how do we: a) achieve break even (or reduce losses)? b) increase the playing budget under FFP without...

    Renting Vs Ownership

    SISU tell us the club is losing millions a year, according to you to resolve this we don't need profits just increased turnover?!? Do you actually understand the difference between profit and turnover?

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

    Did you copy and paste that from Joys piece in today's program? How does owning the ground give you anymore revenue than owning the lease? Given that the FL replied to that chap doing his Uni project that the majority of clubs don't own their own ground will we be seeing huge numbers of clubs...

    You've forgotten to factor in the £10m a year pie profit :laugh:

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

    If we were moving somewhere just outside the city for a valid reason I wouldn't really have an issue with it. However at the moment there doesn't appear to be valid reason for not playing in the city so I don't support playing out of it, either at Northampton or a new stadium. If SISU can come...

    Seps programme notes.

    And there's the problem in a nutshell. Any solution where they pay market value for anything is never going to get SISU their money back and lets face it they're never going to make millions off running a football club.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    Not sure why that is as it's discussed on here regularly, here's one recent post on the subject

    Could have 2 away days next season closer to Cov than our home games!

    Wolves Match Thread

    Seems odd, that allocation is the whole of the stand behind the goal which they sold out weeks ago. Looking at pictures on twitter they've also opened the East Stand for them, I guess for those with tickets in the home end and / or those paying on the day.

    Wouldn't have thought so, Wolves had over 2K and sold out.

    As bad as our defence has been at times this season I think we could manage to keep it under 20!

    That's more like it, if we pick up a point and Tranmere lose I think that makes us safe.

    Ex-councillor Brian Patton to stand v Ann Lucas on Get Cov Back to the Ricoh platform

    I'd be interested to know how you know this given that every time a representative of SISU is asked this they state no decision has been made on how the ownership of the Ricoh or the new stadium would be structured.

    Misguided/wasted effort

    Not sure that we're going to be in a position to be able to offer players significantly more than other clubs.

    Misguided/wasted effort

    See you've chosen to ignore the quote from our manager saying not being at the Ricoh does make it harder to sign the players he wants.
